Abstract:

The Fully Encapsulated Resin Bolt (FERB) is widely utilised for strata control and ground support in civil and mining applications worldwide, with approximately 6 million installed per annum by the Australian coal mining industry. Independent studies have concluded that 30-35% of these rockbolts, which represents an annual expenditure of $40 million, are ineffective. The anchorage and failure mechanisms of FERB are yet to be quantified, and support systems are designed primarily from empirical rather than scientific methods. There are no standardised methods of assessing FERB components, ins

Abstract:

States that lack complete control of peripheral regions might be qualified as weak, and previous research suggests that they face an increased risk of state failure. Yet, in the periphery of many states, authority is shared by the government and non-state actors. Far from all these “weak” states are “failed” in the sense of failing to provide services and political order to their inhabitants. Before exploring this enigma, an attempt to clear the conceptual haze surrounding the notions of weakness and failure is made. An investigation into when state weakness leads to state failure – and when i

Records of 127 subjects were examined and data collected with respect to student performance on academic indicators of at risk behavior. Indicators were scores on criterion referenced tests in reading and mathematics as well as school absence figures for all subjects. These data were subjected to ANOVA and Chi Square Tests of significance to ascertain if there were differences between the students who were overage due to

Abstract:

No<br>The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention entirely prohibits biological warfare, but it has no effective verification mechanism to ensure that the 140-plus States Parties are living up to their obligations. From 1995-2001 the States Parties attempted to negotiate a Protocol to the Convention to remedy this deficiency. On 25 July 2001 the United States entirely rejected the final text which would probably have been acceptable to most other states. The book investigates how this disaster came about, and the potential consequences of the failure of American leadership.

Abstract:

Background Since the 1850s, parathyroid surgery continues to evolve through improved understanding of the pathophysiology. Dialysis dependant end stage renal failure (ESRF), the major cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism continues to rise in the western world. Other than renal transplantation, parathyroidectomy may provide a substantial cure for longstanding renal hyperparathyroidism in dialysis dependant patients. In 2004, cinacalcet was introduced as an alternative to the surgical management of renal hyperparathyroidism. However, cinacalcet was

The effort dedicated to developing the material properties of engineering ceramics has not been accompanied by a similar effort in developing design methods that would allow engineers to make full use of these materials. In particular the high temperature creep behaviour of engineering ceramics has received little attention. In this thesis two parallel approaches, one theoretical and one practical, have been taken towards the final aim of constructing design codes for the creep of ceramic materials. In the theoretical work the principles developed for modelling creep and failure in metals were

Abstract:

This dissertation examines Anglo-Indian relations in seventeenth-century Maine. Previous studies have stressed the failure of the English to understand or get along with the Indians of Maine, without fully examining the background of both sides. This dissertation aims to correct misperceptions of and generalizations about the nature of both native and English societies in early Maine. By using the ethnohistorical perspective, it explores the nature of Anglo-Abenaki interactions and why this relationship broke down.;The focus of Anglo-Indian interaction in early Maine was the fur trade and the

Abstract:

There are 30,000 people in the UK who are on dialysis or that have received a transplant for chronic kidney failure (Stein & Wilde, 2006). Those with a diagnosis of End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) face a gruelling treatment regimen with dialysis providing only 5% of the function two healthy kidneys would supply (Stein & Wilde, 2006). Patients face many changes to their lifestyle and these are often difficult to manage. The treatment necessary for such a condition is complex and includes restrictions to diet and fluid intake as well ingestion of medication and attending dialysis. Many patients s

Abstract:

The thesis is first and foremost the examination of the notion and consequences of ‘state failure’ in international law. The disputes surrounding criteria for creation and recognition of states pertain to efforts to analyse legal and factual issues unravelling throughout the continuing existence of states, as best evidenced by the ‘state failure’ phenomenon. It is argued that although the ‘statehood’ of failed states remains uncontested, their sovereignty is increasingly considered to be dependent on the existence of effective governments.

Every water distribution system (WDS) fails (partially or completely) at some point(s) during its lifetime. Measuring the reliability of a system under various failure conditions has been recognized as a highly controversial issue in the field of WDS analysis. Accordingly, numerous techniques have been developed to estimate WDS reliability. This research provided an in-depth review of the relevant literature and developed advanced techniques for reliability analysis.

Differences in the importance and frequency of use of practices by principals were compared.

This paper examines the failure of the United States to meaningfully respond to the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Specifically it asserts that the U.S. response is markedly incongruent with the expected outcome of its rhetorical commitment to humanitarian intervention. Drawing on constructivist arguments, this paper suggests that this commitment is reflective of an emergent norm of humanitarian intervention. Given constructivism's limitations, however, the presence of this norm alone cannot predict its impact on policy formation. Therefore, this thesis considers the causal mechanisms p

Exercise tolerance, measured as peak oxygen consumption (VO₂ peak), is very low in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing maintenance haemodialysis.
