Short-Term Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Glacio-Fluvial Sedimentation at Feegletscher, Swiss Alps
(2021-05-20)
Analysis of short-term spatial and temporal patterns of glacio-fluvial sedimentation associated with recent glacier retreat at Feegletscher, Swiss Alps, was undertaken. Data was collected through glacial imagery, ablation, ...
Understanding the Impact of Low Temperatures in Maize Seed Germination
(2021-04-19)
Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most widely cultivated crops worldwide; however, it is also considered as a chilling sensitive plant. Plants subjected to suboptimal temperatures suffer changes in numerous chemicals, metabolic ...
Synthetic Observations of Line Emission from Simulated HII Regions
(2021-03-24)
In this work I post-process a series of simulations of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMC) from
Dale (2017), Dale et al. (2014) by running them through MOCASSIN (MOnte CArlo SimulationS of Ionized Nebulae) and studying the ...
The Emission Line Properties of Star-forming Galaxies in the WEAVE-LOFAR Survey
(2021-02-22)
The third operational rehearsal of WEAVE-LOFAR has produced 7273 model optical spectra of radio-selected star-forming galaxies. It is the most realistic simulation
of what we expect WEAVE's performance to be. The purpose ...
Offsite Manufacturing for Affordable Housing
(2021-01-31)
Offsite manufacturing (OSM) has been recently highlighted as contributing to increase productivity and to tackle labour shortages in the housing sector. Whilst a range of OSM building technologies are already used for the ...
The Effects of Emotional Labour Coach Education Interventions on Performance Football Coaches' Awareness of Their Own Emotions
(2020-12-18)
This study explores the impact that coach education interventions that were designed utilising Hochschild’s (1983) emotional labour theory had on coaches’ awareness of emotions within their coaching practice. The study ...

Design and Synthesis of Novel pH-Sensitive Anticancer Drug and Efflux Pump Inhibitor Conjugates
(2020-10-27)
Resistance to anti-cancer therapies has proven a challenge for effective treatments. Efflux pumps when overexpressed in cancer cells, eject drugs from the cell, rendering them ineffective. The pH of cancer cells is generally ...
Eigengalaxies: Galaxy Morphology as a Linear Image Space and its Applications
(2020-10-19)
In this thesis I contextualise the history of morphology as underpinned by Hubble's scheme, discrete
in nature, and deeply connected to theories of galaxy formation history. I set out in contrast, to describe
a purely ...
Exoplanet Transit Follow-Up Tool
(2020-08-12)
This thesis describes the development of a website called the Transit
Follow Up Tool (https://observatory.herts.ac.uk/exotransitpredict) in order
to plan exoplanet transit observations. Website models have been
developed ...
