Abstract:
Molecular Dynamics simulation technique has been used in this work to obtain equilibrium as well as transport properties of different aqueous<br/>solutions. The peculiar behavior observed in pure water and its mixtures with other substances at different thermodynamic conditions, and the knowledge and understanding of the properties of these systems are the motivations of this work. We have made a direct connection between the local tetrahedral structure of water, created by the presence of hydrogen bonds, and the selfdiffusion coefficient at liquid-like densities. We have found some indication

Abstract:
In real world scenarios where we use machine learning algorithms, we often have to deal with cases where input data changes its nature with time. In order to maintain the accuracy of the learning algorithm, we frequently have to retrain our learning system, thereby making the system inconvenient and unreliable. This problem can be solved by using learning algorithms which can learn continuously with time (incremental/ online learning). Another common problem of real-world learning scenarios that we often have to deal with is acquiring large amounts of data which is expensive and time consuming

In recent years, a variant of residual income often called Economic Value Added (EVA)' or Economic Income (EI) has become a popular concern in academia and business communities.

Two commonly used value-based performance metrics namely, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Tobin's Q are also considered to highlight the valuerelevance of EVA vis-a-vis these measures in predicting shareholder wealth.

Abstract:
This thesis offers a new answer for an old question. Since the inception of public policy and administrative studies, the field has grappled with the problem of how to define the relationship between politics and administration. An examination of the policy literature suggests the existence of two major views: disjunctive and integrative. On one hand, those scholars who favour a disjunctive view construe politics and administration as mutually exclusive spheres. In this case, the study of policy and administration tends to emphasize the technical aspects and ignore the political factors. On th

I argue that dialectic underpins debate lyrics; dialogues within narrative texts; and monologues (within lyrics and narratives) which break down into clear internal dialogue, or which use formal structures which are suggestive of dialogue.

Abstract:
There have been a number of studies investigating stress in the education sector with findings indicating that teachers experience high levels of work related stress (Travers, 1996; Johnson, et al, 2005). While there has been limited research looking specifically at the prevalence and causes of stress among Headteachers, recent studies have indicated that they also experience high levels of work related stress (Philips et al, 2007; French & Daniels, 2009). This study was carried out as a contribution to, and to update, the body of research data on Headteacher work related stress. Research aims

Abstract:
According to many political philosophers, one cannot consistently think that the world is radically unjust while denying that the well-off members of that world have highly demanding and enforceable duties to rectify or at least try to improve the situation. The consistent position is either to admit that the world is not radically unjust or to accept that the well-off have highly demanding duties of global justice. Interestingly, though, many well-off people seem unwilling to accept either of these alternatives; they are sure that the world is unjust, but they are also fairly sure that they d

Abstract:
This thesis aimed to identify the clinical, personality, neuropsychological and neurobiological characteristics associated with conduct disorder (CD) problems in a large cohort of community-recruited adolescents. Differences in these characteristics between males and females, and between those with high versus average ‘callous-unemotional’ (CU) traits, were examined. The development of a proxy measure of CU is reported. This was used to explore whether high CU can be used to identify a sub-group of CD youths who differ from their peers in terms of clinical, personality and behavioural phenotyp

Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation offers a potential cure for joint disease and is currently challenged by loss of differentiated phenotype upon culture. To investigate the mechanism of dedifferentiation, chondrocytes were cultured at low density (1x104cell/cm2) and subcultured on days 9 (P1), 14 (P2) and 21 (P3). A loss of a differentiated phenotype was observed in P1 with a reduction in sphericity from 0.72±0.02 to 0.52±0.03. Changes in cellular dimensions in response to 2D culture were additionally recorded with an increase and decrease in cell length and depth, respectivel

This thesis challenges traditional international migration studies which focus on macro-level drivers or the end-point of the migration trajectory, and instead investigates the subtle forces within the “third-space” (Ingram & Abrahams, 2016:140, citing Bhabha, 1994), which here encompasses both the physical and virtual transnational environments inhabited by the French community in London. By combining innovative digital methods with ethnographically oriented data collection techniques, such as immersion, in-depth interviews and focus groups, the thesis reveals the inherently “messy” sociocult

Abstract:
In the health care industry, Job Satisfaction (JS) is linked with work performance, psychological well-being and employee turnover. Although research into JS among health professionals has a long history worldwide, there has been very little analysis in Vietnam. No study has addressed JS of preventive medicine workers in Vietnam, and there is no reliable and valid instrument in Vietnamese language and context for evaluation of JS in this group. This project was conducted to fill these gaps. The findings contribute evidence regarding factors that influence JS in this sector of the health indust

The thesis addresses an important issue in e-commerce area that customers were overwhelmed by huge amount of online product reviews in attempting to find useful reviews. The thesis proposed a novel approach to represent the online reviews using features and related words identified by applying data mining and text mining methods, specifically, using probabilistic Topic Modelling methods. Then, based upon the derived related words, the thesis proposed a new method to select the most helpful reviews that discuss a specified feature of product.

Bacterial biofilms are involved in most device-associated infections. This thesis has developed an in-situ method to treat biofilm and a coculture for testing new antimicrobial biomaterials. We used surface immobilisation to promote Alpha-amylase and silver ion’s disruption of S. aureus biofilms. The treatment also helped coating the surface with silver particles to prevent recurrence. We also formed a coculture of S. aureus and pre-osteoblastic cells and showed that bacteria preferentially attached to the osteoblasts and became more resistant to antibiotic treatment.

Introduction: Students’ transition into university is often a daunting experience. In 2012 the University of Portsmouth (UOP) revised its academic structure where written assessments would be undertaken at the end of the academic year. The new structure was considerably different to the modularised learning environment students were familiar with and the need for additional support was indicated. A number of studies have determined students’ study habits and where they turn for academic support, however none were specific to MPharm students. This study explored the provision of academic suppor

The use of blogging and its potential effects on society and politics have been widely debated but the meanings and understandings that bloggers themselves hold about the activity have not been sufficiently explored; indeed in Lebanon and Syria they have barely been investigated at all. Through interviews with bloggers, ISPs, Internet café owners and others, as well as informal online participant observation and an online questionnaire, this thesis explores the structural and cultural variables that have allowed Lebanese and Syrian bloggers to understand and use blogs in their own specific way
