(2019-08-02)The growing sophistication of technologies and sociological advances are major causes for the dramatic change the automotive sector is currently undergoing. To address changes from a human-centered design perspective an ... -
Investigation of the diurnal pattern of the vertical distribution of pollen in the lower troposphere using LIDAR
(2013)The diurnal pattern of the vertical distribution of biogenic pollen in the lower troposphere was investigated by LIDAR. Meteorological data were taken at the ground. Pollen concentrations were measured at the surface using ... -
Investigation of the Effect of Substitutions on the Electronic and Optical Properties of the Sumanene Molecule
(2024-01-01)Sumanene (C21H12) is the smallest bowl-shaped molecule containing a central benzene ring, alternately surrounded by another 3 benzene rings and cyclopentadiene rings. This study investigated the effect of various electron ... -
An investigation of the effectiveness of a voluntary sector psychodynamic counselling service
(2000)Clients attending a London voluntary sector counselling centre completed assessments pre- and post-psychodynamic counselling and at follow-up. Although there was a very high attrition rate following initial assessment, ... -
An investigation of the effects of income inequality on financial fragility: Evidence from Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development countries
(2019-01-01)The main scope of the paper is to investigate the proposition that rising income inequality results in systemic financial instability in developed countries. In particular, 33 OECD (Organization for Economic Co‐operation ... -

(2020-12-01)Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of one Popping For Parkinson's ® dance session on mood and quality of life of people with Parkinson’s. Design: This study employed a within-subject repeated ... -
Investigation of the Elemental Profiles of Hypericum perforatum as used in Herbal Remedies
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-03-11)The work presented in this thesis has demonstrated that the use of elemental profiles for the quality control of herbal medicines can be applied to multiple stages of processing. A single method was developed for the ... -
Investigation of the Free-Fall Dynamic Behavior of a Rectangular Wing with Variable Center of Mass Location and Variable Moment of Inertia
(2023-05-15)In recent years, the air-drop launch technology of near-space UAVs has attracted much attention. Between downfall from the carrier and the flight control system’s initiation, the UAV presents free-fall movement. This ... -
An Investigation of the Mechanisms of Wind Generated Surface Waves
(2010-05-25)The goal of wind-waves research is to predict the waves field and its effect on the environment. That environment could be natural or imposed by human endeavour. The mechanism of wind generated waves is described in the ... -
Investigation of the mode of action of nematode neuropeptides
(1996-03)The neuropeptide AF2 has a complex set of actions on the dorsal muscle strip of Ascaris suum, including a potentiation of the acetylcholine-stimulated muscle contraction. Caffeine at 100 μm and 5 mm inhibited this potentiation, ... -
Investigation of the perceived usefulness of a StudyNet group discussion facility by international students
(2005)Postgraduate international students at UK institutions of higher education often find difficulty dealing with seminar-type discussions. An attempt was made to help students with this by utilising the group discussion ... -
Investigation of the Physical and Physiochemical Relationships in Nanoparticles and their Attributions to Antimicrobial Activities
(2021-09-02)Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health, as bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics leading to failure of treatments. This PhD project investigated the physical, chemical ... -
Investigation of the physical properties of spray-dried stabilised lysozyme particles
(2003-09)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the composition of formulations on the physical properties, including glass-transition temperatures (Tg) and aerodynamic-related characteristics, of spray-dried lysozyme ... -
Investigation of the potential to reduce waste through sampling and spatial analysis of grain bulks
(2021-07-01)Batches of grain are accepted or rejected based on average mycotoxin concentrations in a composite grain sample. Spatial analysis of mycotoxins in two grain bulks was performed to determine the spatial distribution of ... -
Investigation of the protein alkylation sites of the STAT3:STAT3 inhibitor Stattic by mass spectrometry
(2013-08-15)STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription factor 3) is constitutively active in a wide range of human tumours. Stattic is one of the first non-peptidic small molecules reported to inhibit formation of the ... -
Investigation of the reaction Ge-74(p,gamma)As-75 using the in-beam method to improve reaction network predictions for p nuclei
(2012-09-14)Background: Astrophysical models studying the origin of the neutron-deficient p nuclides require knowledge of proton capture cross sections at low energy. The production site of the p nuclei is still under discussion but ... -
An investigation of the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of Ti(Si,Al)
(2005-05-01)The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SPS) of TiSi and T Si,AL) powders was investigated. Elemental powders of titanium, silicon and aluminum were used for the synthesis. The sample powders were investigated by ... -
Investigation of the stabilisation of freeze-dried lysozyme and the physical properties of the formulations
(2004-07)The long-term stability of a protein formulation requires that the glass transition temperature (T-g) of the formulation should be maximised and the perturbation of the protein native structure in the dried form after ... -
