Opto-mechatronics instrumentation of a specialty optical fiber based optogenetic probe by Gokulnath, Rajendran

“…Hence a MATLAB based tool was also developed in this work for LC SLM and it was verified experimentally that the developed tool can be used to control the individual LC SLM pixels. Finally, a reference scheme was proposed for the developed system to identify the pixels that need to be activated in the LC SLM for selective illumination of fibers inside the fiber bundle.…”

A network-based approach to interpreting pore blockage and cake filtration during membrane fouling by Han, Qi, Li, Weiyi, Trinh, Thien An, Liu, Xin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…The network model developed involves the construction of a two-dimensional (2D) network of pores to represent the membrane, a series of probabilistic criteria to describe the fate of each individual particle, and finally a protocol for evaluating the fouling during either a constant flux or constant TMP (transmembrane pressure) filtration. …”

Enabling cyber incident collaboration in UK local government through fast-time communication by Brett, Mark

“…There was also a similar programme run by the Welsh Government for the wider public sector in Wales. Finally we explore future research considering an additional application around smart cities, incorporating zero trust architecture.…”

Identification and characterisation of the haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells at risk for leukaemia development following radiation exposure by Verbiest, T

“…Crossing these mice with <em>Sfpi1</em>^GFP mice allowed the early detection of an expanding haematopoietic clone which had lost mCherry fluorescence following radiation exposure (and so also the chromosome 2 homologue carrying the fluorescent construct and the <em>Sfpi1</em> gene). Finally, we report on a gender-dependent leukaemic progression and characterisation where 3 Gy irradiated male mice only present with acute myeloid leukemia and irradiated female mice mainly develop leukaemia with a lymphoid phenotype. …”

Make it orijinal: literary modernism and the novel on the Turkish-British axis 1908-1948 by Staudt, K

“…To this end, I pair Halide Edip Adıvar and Virginia Woolf to address debates over the gender of modernism; Nezihe Muhiddin and Rebecca West in reference to the divide between modernism and mass literature; Peyami Safa and Wyndham Lewis to examine how conservative ideology interacts with Bergsonian philosophy to shape modernist form; and finally, I turn to Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and James Joyce to address questions about modernism’s relationship to the literary tradition. …”

Contagious McKean–Vlasov systems with resets: integrate-and-fire neuron models with common noise by Petronilia, AAFM

“…Furthermore, we establish uniqueness within a class of processes, allowing us to conclude that our solution is measurable with respect to the common noise.</p> <p>Finally, we synthesize these results to construct relaxed solutions to a McKean--Vlasov system with resets, common noise, and an instantaneous feedback mechanism. …”

‘All work is prostitution’: an exploration of sex work, exploitation, and dis-organising by Westwood, K

“…The ‘anti-work’ perspective offered by some sex worker radicals is found to be the most fruitful for developing an understanding of the harms of sex work, including exploitation, and for constructing a critique of work generally. Finally, this thesis explores organising in the sex workplace and the potential for this to be a rich resource for other kinds of work organising. …”

Classical lyricism in Italian and North American 20th-century poetry by Piantanida, C

“…I then contextualise the four case studies within the Italian and North American literary histories. Finally, through the new outlook afforded by the comparative angle of this thesis, I uncover some of the hidden threads connecting the different types of classical lyricism transnationally.…”

Cortical neurophysiology of ALS by Proudfoot, M

“…</p> <p>In conclusion, the results demonstrated considerable support for proposed excitotoxic disease mechanisms and were in alignment with reported findings in other neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, a pilot study by which the neural mechanisms for cognitive impairment in ALS are explored via antisaccade performance is described. …”

Wannier-function software ecosystem for materials simulations by Marrazzo, A, Beck, S, Margine, ER, Marzari, N, Mostofi, AA, Qiao, J, Souza, I, Tsirkin, SS, Yates, JR, Pizzi, G

“…It also elucidates the relationships and connections between codes and, where relevant, the different motivations and objectives behind their development strategies. Finally, an outlook on future developments is provided and comments are made on the goals of biodiversity and sustainability for the entire software ecosystem.…”

Income change and sympathy for right-wing populist parties in the Netherlands: the role of gender and income inequality within households by Roll, Y, De Graaf, N

“…Moreover, we expect the relationship between household income change and RWP sympathy to differ between genders. Finally, we hypothesise that this gender disparity can be interpreted by considering who contributes most to the household income. …”

Integrative imaging and electron cryo-tomography of viral transport mechanisms by Grange, M

“…As a second example of transport in cells, I study the nuclear egress of herpesvirus capsids, utilizing a multi-modal approach in an attempt to characterize this process from cellular to molecular level, and ask how herpesviruses modulate the nuclear membrane during capsid egress into the cytosol. Finally, I discuss an emergent technique in the field of electron cryo-microscopy, the Volta phase plate, its potential application in molecular tomography, and how it may enhance our current ability to discern contextual molecular mechanism.…”

Perceptions of meteorological phenomena in ancient Egypt by Jensen, CL

“…The third chapter examines the archaeological and representation evidence for engagement with the weather, whilst the fourth chapter explores the lexicon of weather, refining our understanding of these terms by adding nuance. Finally, the discussion brings together all the evidence in order to appraise the perception of weather in ancient Egypt holistically.…”

Macroevolutionary history of Neotropical vegetation during the Cenozoic: a palynological perspective from Colombia by De La Parra Bonilla, G

“…The examination of the taxonomic rates and the global climatic curve indicate a good correspondence between episodes of global climate change and turnover, suggesting that extinction is exacerbated by these episodes. Finally, the palynological record also indicates that the Neotropics experienced several floods during the Cenozoic. …”

Adjustable wind selectivity in shearwaters implies knowledge of the foraging landscape by Harris, S, Bishop, C, Bond, S, Fernandes, P, Guilford, T, Lewin, P, Padget, O, Robins, P, Schneider, W, Waggitt, J, Wilmes, S, Cordes, L

“…Second, when wind speeds are low, flight costs vary little with travel direction, which shearwaters respond to by reducing wind selectivity in their outbound commutes, again favoring target-driven movement toward presumably memorized foraging areas. Finally, birds are also less wind selective during longer continuous periods of flight, presumably also associated with target-oriented movement. …”

On the International Monetary System (IMS): A case of background injustice and parasitic exploitation by Guajardo Ortega, CC
