The temporality of building: European and Chinese perspectives on architecture and heritage by Gao, Yun, Temple, Nicholas, Xiao, Jing

“…Rather than examining specific buildings, the first three chapters apply three key themes (language, ritual and heritage) as cultural lenses to reveal differences and similarities between the two traditions. …”

Motive and malice prepensed by Getzler, J

“…I remember clearly his intricate and well-attended lectures on the history of obligations, exploring ideas that were to inform the classic monograph just around the corner.[1] I prized those tightly organised, smudgily printed pages of comment on my draft chapters sent ahead of supervisions. I would open the notes arriving from Magdalen with great anticipation, looking forward to discussing the contents with David, and knowing that his lines would set me off into fresh discoveries in libraries and archives for a good few weeks or months. …”

Marino's spiritual poems in music: a study of early modern sources by Kobayashi, T

“…The rest of the main chapters explore devotional songs based on Marino’s lyrics on themes of Seven Sorrows of Mary, Crown of Thorns, lives of saints and finally, joyful events in Jesus’s life. …”

Astley's Amphitheatre and the early circus in England, 1768-1830 by Kwint, M

“…This thesis charts the formative years of the institution and its contribution to an important yet distinctly arcane popular genre whose story has hitherto chiefly been the province of specialists and dilettanti, rather than the object of systematic historical, cultural and aesthetic analysis.</p> <p>The chapters introduce the main artistic and organisational developments at Astley's and its rivalry with the neighbouring Royal Circus. …”

Interlocked host structures for anion recognition and lanthanide complexation by Li, X

“…</p> <p><b>Chapter 6</b> describes the experimental procedures used in this work, and details the characterisation of novel compounds presented in Chapters 2 4.…”

The marble statuettes from the Athenian Agora, first century BC to fourth century AD by Martens, B

“…Chapter 7 concludes the study with focus on the mobile nature of statuettes in household settings. …”

Behaviour of reinforced concrete beam-column joint subjected to in-plane loading by Azzalina Zainuddin

“…Based on a previous softened strut-and –tie model developed by them to determine the shear strengths of exterior beam-column joints, this model has been modified to predict that of an interior beam-column joint. …”

Rheology of liquid formulations and searching for eco-friendly thickeners by Soh, Wendy Yun Zheng

“…The surfactants used and the shampoo samples formulated are tested using a rotational rheometer, and the rheology properties are plotted on a log viscosity against a log shear rate graph. Using the power law model, the graphs can be evaluated as Newtonian or non-Newtonian. …”

Enhancing stable grasping of containers with dynamic center of mass using reinforcement learning by Gao, Yuan

“…Our approach involved the integration of vision-based Gelsight and GelSlim tactile sensors to capture tactile information, particularly emphasizing tactile shear forces for enhanced perception of the container. …”

3-D analysis of one-strut failure in braced excavation by Tan, Pei Qi.

“…The strut failure level was designated at either the 3rd layer or the 5th layer, in a 5 layer strutting system. The shear strength of the deeper clay layer was varied for better understanding of the excavation site.Comparing the data from the three-dimensional analysis, the plane strain analysis resulted in a slight overestimation of the results. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…The first step is to find the relationship of a crack and inclusion whereby it is found that the CTOD of the crack will increase with the increase in crack size and the impact of Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus ratio, radius of inclusion, and the crack-inclusion distance on fracture properties was also found. …”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. Shear-wave velocity reductions in the two LLVPs are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. …”

Designing Microporous Polymers for Separations by Storme, Kayla R.

Synthesis of metal halide perovskites for photoredox catalysis, photoelectgric devices, and solid-state characterization of main group materials by Hong, Zonghan

“…In this thesis, three main projects have been developed and thoroughly investigated, dedicated to addressing some of these problems. The first two chapters focus on the syntheses and applications of metal halide perovskites while the third chapter reveals a different perspective of main group chemistry regarding NaH-NaI composite that promotes dehalogenation and decyanation to mitigate the environmental impact of harmful organic compounds. …”
