Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…In this thesis, I investigate the role of pre-eruptive storage conditions, volatile contents and magma ascent rates in controlling eruption styles using petrological, geochemical, textural and petrophysical methods on fresh volcanic deposits. First, I focus on the Rabaul caldera system (Papua-New-Guinea) where effusive, strombolian, vulcanian and sub-plinian eruptions occured in the past 120 years without any noticeable chemical changes in the magma compositions. …”

Machine learning-based approaches for large-scale temporal data analytics by Seyed Ali Majid Zonoozi

“…In many domains such as telecommunications, finance and sensor monitoring, large volumes of unlabeled temporal data are continuously generated in a sequential format, where the timestamps of the generated records are available. From a data analysis standpoint, there is significant utility to be gained by discovering the patterns in the data, in order to understand the trend of changes in the past and future. …”

Improving hydration and carbonation of reactive magnesium oxide cement by Tye, Wenkai

“…However, mechanical strength advancement of RMC concrete is limited by the low hydration and carbonation of MgO in ambient conditions. Some past studies had presented the effectiveness of using hydrating agents (HA) to improve hydration of MgO while others improved the carbonation aspect via various methods. …”

Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…"Expressions of Grief on the Early Modern Stage" re-evaluates widely accepted accounts of theatrical and literary mourning, intervening in two major debates. The first is the extent to which theatrical mourning is an expression of mourning for a Catholic past, a familiar account that is complicated by asking what happens when mourning is future-oriented, rehearsing for a death still to come. …”
