The Biomechanics of the Dynamic Defence Mechanism
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-09-09)Context: It has been suggested that muscle fatigue can lead to injury, however, research investigating this phenomenon in functional ankle instability (FAI) subjects is lacking. Aim: The purpose of this thesis was to ... -
Biomechanics of the Golf Swing and Putting Stroke
(2016-05-18)Context: This thesis focused on two main areas of golf performance. Firstly, centre of pressure excursions influence on full golf swing performance, as despite golf coaching literature placing importance on weight transfer, ... -
A Biometric Approach to Prevent False Use of IDs
(2019-02-02)What is your username? What is your password? What is your PIN number? These are some of the commonly used key questions users need to answer accurately in order to verify their identity and gain access to systems and ... -
BIOMICS Project : Biological and Mathematical Basis of Interaction Computing
(2012)The main idea that led us to propose this project is inspired by the observation that cell metabolic/regulatory systems are able to self-organise and/or construct order dynamically, through random interactions between their ... -
A Biomimetically Derived Method for Control of Span-Wise Morphing Wings
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc. (AIAA), 2021-12-29)The development of novel morphing wings follows common milestones. This work presents the modelling and control of the recently proposed avian wing span-wise morphing concept. The concept primarily consists of three ... -
BioModels Database: A Free, Centralized Database of Curated, Published, Quantitative Kinetic Models of Biochemical and Cellular Systems
(2006)BioModels Database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ biomodels/), part of the international initiative BioModels.net, provides access to published, peerreviewed, quantitative models of biochemical and cellular systems. Each model is ... -
Biophysical measurements of human forearm, skin in vivo : effects of site, gender, chirality and time
(2000-05)Background/aims: Measurements of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin colour are biophysical techniques commonly used to measure the in vivo skin effects of cosmetics, topical medicaments and chemical irritants. The ... -
A biophysical model of synaptic delay learning and temporal pattern recognition in a cerebellar Purkinje cell
(2004)It has been suggested that information in the brain is encoded in temporal spike patterns which are decoded by a combination of time delays and coincidence detection. Here, we show how a multi-compartmental model of a ... -
Bioprospecting for Fungal-Based Biocontrol Agents
(2021-10-19)The research objective of this project was to investigate how a virus infecting the fungus can improve its effectiveness as a pesticide. This mycovirus-induced hypervirulence was investigated using microbiological and ... -
Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis and degeneration following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
(2020-09-09)Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) is a recognised complication of prosthetic aortic valves and can be seen in up to 13% of patients after transcatheter implantation.The mechanism of BPVT is not well known, abnormal ... -
Biosensors for Real-Time Monitoring of Biohazards and Disease in Aquaculture.
(2018-07-19)Early, reliable and systematic detection of waterborne chemical and biological pathogens is critical to prevent the spread of disease in aquaculture by enabling effective management practices. Laboratory-based technologies ... -

Biowaste management: Comparison of banana (Musa acuminata) and bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) fibers
(2024-01-05)Both developed and developing countries around the world are increasingly utilizing biodegradable products and bio-based materials. This is required to curb rampant environmental pollution caused by synthetic materials and ... -
BioZero - Designing Nature-inspired Net-zero Building
(2021-07-08)This article introduces BioZero, a nature-inspired near-zero building proposed for Quay St, Brooklyn, New York. The building is designed for the maximum use of daylight and natural ventilation. This is the result of its ... -
A Bird's Eye View of Ocular Galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2000)Ocular galaxies are systems undergoing an in-plane, near grazing, prograde encounter. In addition to the interaction causing the formation of two long, symmetrically opposite tidal tails, during a short period after ... -
Birth Supporters experiences of attending prisoners being compulsorily separated from their new-born babies
(2023-05-24)There is growing evidence demonstrating increased mental ill-health in women compulsorily separated from their babies. For imprisoned women, the risk of self-harm and suicide may be further exacerbated. Birth supporters ... -
The birthplace study : Turning the tide of childbirth
(2012-01-01)The publication of the Birthplace Study should herald a major shift in the provision and organization of maternity services, in particular the expansion of births outside obstetric units or at home. The media portrayal of ... -
Bisexuality and ageing : Why it matters for social work practice
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2018-01-01)In relation to the commonly-used sexual identity labels ‘gay’, ‘lesbian’ and ‘bisexual’, bisexual is often the most invisible category. This invisibility and lack of recognition of the needs of bisexuals across the life ...
