Abstract:

Background: Almost all women are at risk of unintended pregnancy throughout their reproductive years. In the UK alone, more than 200,000 pregnancies were terminated by induced abortion in 2010. Additionally, a substantial number of births result from unintended pregnancy. Family planning is achieved through use of contraceptive methods. Contraceptive prevalence is increasing worldwide, however, some need for contraception remains unmet. Even in industrialised countries where contraception is readily available and use is high, many unintended pregnancies occur. The reason for this is that exist

Water is vital to the mining industry; mines can require substantial amounts of water and are often located in some of the driest places on earth. Reducing water withdrawals and improving mine water use are key strategic requirements for moving toward a more sustainable mining industry. Mine water requirements often have significant technical, economic, environmental and political implications. This thesis quantifies global mine water withdrawals and discusses methods of improving mine water use by reducing water withdrawals and water-related energy consumption.

Research has shown that more than 45% of American companies are opting to integrate personality tests in their recruitment processes. Given this surge in personality testing, this thesis examines whether personality testing is a valid predictor of job-fit and performance in the context of personnel selection. A large proportion of this paper is focused upon the Big-Five factor model, its limitations, and derivative tests of the model. The impact of technology upon personality testing is also discussed as an emerging field. By tracing and examining the history of personality testing to current

Current maximum efficiency of phosphorus (P) fertilizers that is utilized by plants in the same year of application ranges from near zero to thirty percent. Despite low utilization of P in crop production, yields are often limited by P deficiencies. Innovative technology is requisite to achieve greater efficiency as fertilizer demands are increasing, while phosphorus mineral resources are rapidly being depleted. A growing environmental concern for nutrient pollution of surface waters also carries significant weight. A novel new product, Carbond® P, is promising technology to increase P use eff

Abstract:

The importance of forecasting brand sales has grown as markets become increasingly competitive and the cost of failing increases. Approximately two-thirds of new consumer product goods are discontinued within two years of launching. An accurate forecast of brand sales based on a robust measurement of consumer preferences can help marketing managers avoid costly failures before they get to market. However, the current approaches that measure consumer preferences suffer from a variety of limitations. These include: 1) difficulty interpreting claimed purchase intent data unless it has been calibr

Abstract:

Cranes are widely used in material-handling and transportation applications, e.g. in shipyards, construction sites, and warehouses. As they are critical to the economic vitality of modern-day industries, improving crane performance and ease of use are important contributors to industrial productivity, low production costs, and workplace safety. In a typical crane operation, a payload is lifted, moved to its destination, and then lowered into place. This dissertation aims to improve crane performance and reduce task difficulty for the human operator in the movements mentioned above, namely: 1)

Wheat grain yield is strongly related to nitrogen (N) fertiliser input, a major cost factor and potential environmental pollutant. Much of the grain N requirement is met by N remobilisation from the canopy. Unfortunately, a consequence is canopy senescence and decreased photosynthetic capacity, reducing carbon available for grain-filling. One approach to achieve both higher N use efficiency and grain yield would be to extend the duration of photosynthesis using delayed leaf senescence “stay-green” phenotypes.
