The Failure of Self-Knowledge: Despair and the Limit of Reason in Kierkegaard's Philosophy
(2020-05-06)Regarding the problem of self-knowledge in Kierkegaard’s philosophy, it is common to relate it to the discussion of despair in Anti-Climacus’s The Sickness Unto Death but not to the limit of reason in Climacus’s Philosophical ... -
Field-based Determination of Critical Power and Critical Speed Among Recreational Runners
(2022-01-24)Background Critical power (CP) is a highly regarded threshold, delineating the boundary between heavy and severe intensities of exercise. Determination of CP has long been hindered by testing protocols that are time ... -
Finding Close Encounters: Toward a Consensus on the Influence of Stellar Flybys on the Solar System over 10 Million Years
(2018-09-21)This thesis is a study of possible stellar encounters of the Sun, both in the past and in the future within ± 10 Myr of the current epoch. This study is based on data gleaned from the first Gaia data release (Gaia DR1). ... -
Fresh Ways to Work: Do Small and Medium sized Enterprises want Free Travel Plans?
(2016-05-13)Travel Plans have been implemented within the United Kingdom since they were first proposed as a local Travel Planning tool within the Transport White Paper, ‘A new deal for transport’ in the later part of the 20th Century. ... -
From Architecture to Design: A Comparative and Evaluative Study of Professional Practice
(2015-08-19)This research considers the development of design practice over the last decades where a gap between practice and theory can be observed. Apparently, design education failed to follow the pace of change from practice. In ... -
A High-Resolution Radio Continuum Study of the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC10
(2015-08-25)Dwarf galaxies are a significant contributor to the current star formation rate for the Universe as a whole, yet little is understood of what drives star formation in these low gas density environments. IC10 is a nearby ... -
HII Regions in the Pilot Ku-band Galactic Reconnaissance Survey
(2018-06-15)This thesis presents data from the Ku-band Galactic Reconnaissance Survey (KuGARS), a large area survey observed on the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA). KuGARS is the first galactic plane survey to explore the sub-arcsecond ... -
How Digital Scenography and Images Affect the Visual Spectacle in a Site-Specific Choreographic Installation
(2018-11-19)The aims of the research project were to gain a better understanding of digital scenography, mainly in the field of dance as used by recent choreographers, to create an experimental, improvisatory dance performance. This ... -
The Hyperbolic Superposition of a General Quantum State
(2016-06-28)This dissertation documents an inquiry into the geometric structure of the Spaces used to represent a 2-Dimensional Quantum State Space as it relates to Quantum Computation. In particular we investigate the possible ... -
Identification of Avr Alleles in Leptosphaeria maculans Isolates from Different Oilseed Rape Cultivars
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-22)This report describes a survey of the regional distribution of races of Leptosphaeria maculans done by characterising isolates from phoma leaf spot samples taken from different oilseed rape cultivars at different sites in ... -
Identification of Novel Psychoactive Substances in Complex Mixtures Using a Design of Experiment Guided Approach and Handheld Raman Spectroscopy
(2018-07-27)The screening of NPS in street samples has been proven to be problematic in recent years due to their fast appearance, the unavailability of adequate reference materials and their complexity. The aim of this project focussed ... -
Identifying Lead Compounds for S100P in Pancreatic Cancer Therapy Using in Vitro Biophysical Techniques
(2016-06-27)The protein S100P has been associated with the aggressiveness of several neoplastic disease, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). S100 proteins are a family of calcium binding proteins that are small dimeric ... -
Identifying the Ejected Population from Disintegrating Multiple Systems
(2016-05-10)Kinematic studies of the Hipparcos catalogue have revealed associations that are best explained as disintegrating multiple systems, presumably resulting from a dynamical encounter between single/multiple systems in the ... -
