This work will discuss two experiments which seek to elucidate the asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei. In the first experiment, a digital-signal-processing technique was developed to measure the neutron total cross section of the rare (but stable) isotope 48Ca…
Patients' use of medicines is widely recognised as sub-optimal with a high proportion of patients with a long-term condition not taking their medicines as prescribed. Research and policy guidance emphasise the importance of partnership within the patient-prescriber encounter in …
Bilateral strength asymmetry of the quadriceps muscles has been implicated in a variety of special populations and movement performance deficits. However, while there is consensus of the main determinants of maximal and explosive strength, it is unclear to what extent these may …
Nations usually go to war to defend against a threat (balancing) or gain some profit (bandwagoning). However, they sometimes join war coalitions without such motivations - or refuse to join them despite great pressure from the coalition leader. For example, the US-led coalition …
This thesis develops a new methodological approach to test for threshold cointegration. It determines the threshold locations, the number of thresholds, and tests the null hypothesis of a unit root against the alternative of a stationary threshold process using p-values based on…
Despite Venus showing no evidence of a global system of tectonic deformation, a variety of tectonic landforms across Venus suggests a complex and active geologic history that is not fully understood. One of the most ubiquitous tectonic landforms identified are linear to arcuate,…
