Chronicles the how and why of the most important and interesting structural failures in history, especially in the twentieth century.
Once upon a time, seven wonders of the world stood tall and brilliant and, it must have seemed, would stand forever, impervious to time and gravity. Now only one remains--the pyramid at Khufu, in the Egyptian desert near Cairo. All of the others have fallen down. Modern technolo…
Given the complexity of medicines use in elderly patients, structures and processes of medicines management are key to deriving best outcomes. This research was conducted in hospitals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and focused on the patient journey from admission to discharg…
The aim of this research was to investigate the structures and processes of pharmacist prescribing in Great Britain, focusing on primary care settings. A ‘sequential-mixed methods’ was employed in the conduct of the research. The first phase was a cross-sectional postal question…
This thesis research focuses on developing a hybrid form of solar cell based on zinc(hydr)oxide and its composites with graphite oxide, TiO 2 , quantum dot, electrolyte and this work expands upon the Gratzel solar cell with a dye in TiO2 . Due to various structural and optical c…
Marine Glycoconjugates: Trends and Perspectives
This thesis explores methods by which carbon fibre reinforced polymers may be fficiently designed with the inclusion of damage tolerance criteria. An efficient method of modelling the compression after impact (CAI) strength of composite materials is selected, and this forms the …
This guide examines the applications of falsework in projects of all sizes using varied materials. After giving consideration to design concepts and standard solutions, the book concludes with a checklist to help the reader search for potential faults.
Analysis of piezoelectric structures and devices
Written for civil engineers, these papers focus on the design life of buildings, and cover case histories, highlight the commercial developer's viewpoint of building problems and design considerations, and conclude with research, durability and structural design issues.
