Novel Insights Into The Palaeomagnetism Of Serpentinized Peridotites From The Troodos And Oman Ophiolites, James Hepworth
Novel Insights Into The Palaeomagnetism Of Serpentinized Peridotites From The Troodos And Oman Ophiolites, James Hepworth
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
Large volumes of mantle peridotite are exposed at the Earth’s surface in ophiolites, becoming vulnerable to the concurrent chemical alteration processes of serpentinization and carbonation. Serpentinization frequently results in the production of secondary magnetite that can record the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field at the time of its formation, allowing palaeomagnetism to be used as a tool to investigate this process. Many ophiolites also experienced large-scale tectonic rotations during their evolution. In some cases, the timing of these rotations is well-documented palaeomagnetically, potentially allowing the timing of different phases of serpentinization to be constrained if the magnetization directions of …

Strabismus And Amblyopia Disrupt Spatial Perception But Not The Fidelity Of Cortical Maps In Human Primary Visual Cortex, D. Schluppeck, D. Arnoldussen, Z. Hussain, J. Besle, S. T. Francis, P. V. Mcgraw
School of Psychology
Amblyopia is a common disorder of spatial vision and is frequently associated with the presence of anisometropia, strabismus, or both, during visual development. For highly visible stimuli, subjects with strabismic amblyopia often report marked spatial distortions, but the neural basis of this supra-threshold deficit is not well understood. Here, we used a combination of behavioural measurements and visual field mapping with high spatial-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 7 T to assess perceptual distortions in 12 participants with strabismic amblyopia and 9 control subjects. We measured both behavioural and cortical visual field maps monocularly through each eye. Although amblyopic …

Understanding The Role Of Pluralistic Ignorance In Biodiversity Conservation: A Research Agenda, Sandra J. Geiger, Hirotaka Imada, Carya Maharja, Nattavudh Powdthavee, Valeria Vitale, Lei Zhang, Claudio D. Rosa, Zenith N. C. Delabrida, Kristian S. Nielsen, Franz Essl, Mathew P. White
School of Psychology
Most people believe that biodiversity loss is human-caused, yet they may not realize how many others share this belief. Such collective misperceptions—known as pluralistic ignorance—may hinder individual and system changes required to address biodiversity loss. At the same time, reducing pluralistic ignorance may promote positive change. In this Perspective, we provide a brief overview of existing work on pluralistic ignorance about environmental topics and propose an agenda for impactful pluralistic ignorance research in the biodiversity domain. We highlight several research gaps and offer recommendations, including (a) investigating different forms of pluralistic ignorance, (b) improving our understanding of consequences and determinants, …
Bridging The Divide: How Do Lecturers In Undergraduate Sound Engineering Courses Bridge The Gap Between Industry And Education?, Daniel Tregenna
Bridging The Divide: How Do Lecturers In Undergraduate Sound Engineering Courses Bridge The Gap Between Industry And Education?, Daniel Tregenna
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses
The formal study of sound engineering is a relatively modern and under-researched field within modern arts education. However, this subject has a number of features that are common across a range of subjects of a similar nature. How the lecturers who work on these courses influence students and tie them to the wider industry is potentially pivotal in an industry so intrinsically tied to the nature of interpersonal connections. Particularly where this industry simultaneously does not provide stable and sustained working partnerships. This international comparative study looks to explore the role lecturers on undergraduate sound engineering courses play in bridging …

“Assessing The Feasibility And Acceptability Of Blood Flow Sensing Technology In Kidney Transplant Surveillance”., M Malik
School of Nursing and Midwifery Theses
AbstractIntroductionVascular thrombosis is a disastrous postoperative complication resulting in the loss of 3.5% to 5.7% of all kidney transplants. The use of novel blood flow-sensing technology in the early postoperative period may allow loss of vascular patency or thrombosis to be detected immediately, which is critical in reducing thrombosis-related graft loss. An implantable Doppler probe utilises blood flow sensing technology to provide continuous feedback on blood flow when connected to a vascular anastomosis. This clinical research aimed to assess the theoretical basis and feasibility of an implantable Doppler probe as a blood flow-monitoring device in kidney transplant recipients and to …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (Cfd) Based Assessment Of Animal Borne Data Logger Impact, Christopher Pass
A Computational Fluid Dynamics (Cfd) Based Assessment Of Animal Borne Data Logger Impact, Christopher Pass
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
Animal borne data loggers are powerful tools that provide researchers with valuable insight into the behaviour and ecology of free-ranging marine animals. Despite their usefulness, the addition of a tag inevitably alters the forces acting on a swimming body and can increase the energetic cost of swimming. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools offer a powerful means of assessing tag impact and a number of previous works have employed CFD to this end but have typically been based on a range of simplifying assumptions. Chief amongst these simplifications is that animals can be modelled as rigid bodies with a simple tag …
