Particle adhesion to the vasculature depends critically upon particle/cell properties (size, receptors), scale/geometric features of vasculature (diameter, bifurcation, etc.) and local hemodynamic factors (stress, torque, etc.) Current investigations using in vitro parallel-plat…

This thesis consists of two subjects, penetration of a coating fluid into paper and molecular simulation of pillared clays and adsorption of multicomponent gas mixture in them. The first part, discusses the characterization of the microstructure of the paper, and penetration of …
Microscale breaking wave are short gravity waves that break without air entrainment. Microscale breaking waves occur at low to moderate wind speeds (i.e. 4–12 m s−1) and are typically O(0.1–1)m in length. This work reports on a series of laboratory experiments investigating the …
Differential Electrolytic Potentiometric detector system is used in Flow Injection Analysis for the determination of Cyanides, Residual Chlorine and different types of Acid-Base reactions. The method is rapid, simple, less costly and precise compared to other techniques. The tec…
Achievements in second language learning vary in magnitude from that of near monoglots, who might know a handful of words in other languages, to overachieving hyperpolyglots, who are fluent in at least six languages. Explanations for success in learning languages typically consi…
Csikszentmihalyi's (1975b) 'flow' theory has been extensively developed and utilised, providing the leading explanation for positive subjective experiences in the study of leisure. The prescriptive tenets along with the archetypal descriptive characteristics of the flow state ha…
This thesis focuses on the incorporation of carbon nanoparticles within continuous fibre reinforcements by liquid composite moulding processes, in order to provide enhanced electrical and delamination properties to the multiscale composites. The mechanisms controlling the flow a…
The decline in biodiversity over the last decade has motivated researchers to investigate the relationship between species richness (biodiversity) and ecosystem function. Empirical approaches are becoming more realistic as more factors have been included. Spatial heterogeneity i…
This thesis introduces the innovative idea of the use of computer games and interactive entertainment by second-and third-age adults, specifically in the area of game content and interaction. This form of entertainment and technologies has become varied recently, with increased …
Conventional modeling of fractured reservoirs treats fracture permeability and porosity as static (or pressure-dependent) data. Recent attempts at coupling geomechanics focused on the permeability, but used crude empirical relations and treated the fluid flow as single porosity.…
There is a misconception about Black church music and other styles of Black musical performance: having knowledge of one style of Black music, music created by African American people, does not provide all the tools to be able to perform in other Black music contexts. While ther…
