Abstract:

Recently, some authors point to value creation from the structure and behaviours associated with competition and collaboration inside the organisation (Helfat and Eisenhardt, 2004; Birkinshaw and Lingblad, 2005). While both competition and collaboration have been studied extensively between organisations, less attention has been focused on them and their interaction between units inside the organisation, particularly within complex and heterogeneous multinational corporations. The question is how to achieve the coordination and collaboration that is necessary for a multinational organisation t

Abstract:

Load transfer mechanisms in ground anchors have been studied using analytical and numerical methods. A method based on the minimum potential energy theorem has been used to obtain the differential equations governing the load-displacement behaviour of a ground anchor. The load distribution in a ground anchor has been identified by solving the governing differential equations. The stress distribution and load-displacement behaviour of ground anchors has been studied using the finite element method. Failure at the grout-ground interface is the most common cause of anchor failure. Attempts have b

Abstract:

Several mining operations are considering the switch from surface to underground in order to mine deeper resources. When making this switch block cave mining is often considered to minimize costs. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the mechanics of rock slope movements and failure in response to the block caving process. Different potential failure modes are investigated as a function of the orientation of the jointing pattern. The impact of two different caving locations on slope stability will be investigated: one where the cave is located under the toe of the slope, and a

In an increasingly media-rich society, we are ever exposed to more varied marketing techniques. Advertising is no longer limited to traditional outlets such as print and television commercials. Consumers are moving away from watching television on a traditional TV set in favour of new technologies.

These products not only increase the number of ways in which advertisers can use to target us, but also change the way we interact with the media. We increasing

It is well known that self-generated stimuli are processed differently from externally generated stimuli. For example, many people have noticed since childhood that it is very difficult to make a self-tickling. In the auditory domain, self-generated sounds elicit smaller brain responses as compared to externally generated sounds, known as the sensory attenuation (SA) effect. SA is manifested in reduced amplitudes of evoked responses as measured through MEEG, decreased firing rates of neurons and a lower level of perceived loudness for self-generated sounds.

Ground vibration from trains is an increasingly important environmental problem. This study investigates the various excitation mechanisms of ground vibration. An existing semi-analytical model, TGV, which considers both the quasi-static excitation due to moving axle loads and the dynamic excitation due to vertical rail irregularities, has been validated by an extensive measurement campaign. This involved the determination of soil properties at two sites with soft clay soil. These were found to exhibit an inversion of the wave speed profile.

Abstract:

The reduction in the useful-service life of reinforced concrete construction in the Arabian Gulf is attributed to reinforcement corrosion. While this phenomenon is primarily related to chloride ions, the concomitant pressure of sulfate salts may accelerate the deterioration process. Another factor which might influence reinforcement corrosion is the elevated ambient temperature. While few studies have been conducted to evaluate the individual effect of sulfate contamination and temperature on chloride binding and reinforcement corrosion, the synergistic effect of these factors on concrete dura

Abstract:

Textile Reinforced Concrete shows a complex load-bearing behaviour, which depends on material properties of the composite constituents and load transfer mechanisms in between. These properties cannot be modified arbitrarily in experimental investigations, which complicates identification of the impact of certain mechanisms on composite’s behaviour. In this respect, theoretical investigations offer the possibility to study the influence of individual parameters. At first, experimental results of tensile-loaded specimens are given, which help to identify different mechanisms in advance. Afterwar

Abstract:

Airborne disease transmission is a prominent problem facing an increasingly mobilized world. It involves small droplets (bioaerosols) containing pathogens which form in the lungs and are expelled to the environment, where they may persist in the air until inhaled by others. Conceptually, there are two basic approaches to preventing transmission: protect the potential target, or eliminate the source. To this end, the effectiveness of modifying mucus viscoelasticity, through cation exposure, to prevent pathogen transport via bioaerosols was investigated. In vitro models were developed to explore

The pain induction and assessment procedures were established during an initial series of three experiments.

Background: Current models of appetite control embody the view that tonic and episodic inhibitory signals modulate a constant and recurring drive to eat, but the source of this excitatory drive has been poorly defined. A motivational drive arising from energy needs would appear logical, but the influence of energy expenditure on energy intake remains unclear. Furthermore, while changes in eating behaviour and body composition following acute and chronic exercise are highly variable, a greater understanding of the compensatory mechanisms that mediate this heterogeneity is needed.

The polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys RR1000 and Udimet 720Li (U720Li) were developed for turbine disc applications.

The increased percentage of precipitates in the material leads to higher levels of constraint between matrix and the precipitates, and this will have consequences for the deformation mechanisms of the aggregate.

Abstract:

This thesis investigated social learning mechanisms and strategies relating to the characteristics of a model (the individual transmitting the information) and the prior experience of an observer (the individual acquiring the social information) in children and chimpanzees. Experimental designs that mirrored naturalistic settings enabled an investigation of how social learning mechanisms and strategies were affected by: (1) the characteristics of a model, (2) the prior experience of an observer, (3) continued model demonstrations and (4) repeated observer interactions with the task.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the practices and techniques involved with particular electronic instruments and proposes an archaeological approach to reconsider the ways in which noise can communicate various details of instrument design and practice to the listener. I present two case studies concerning electronic music practice using repurposed devices - stepped filters - and by combining a detailed material analysis of the instruments with interviews, video and other evidence, I document the practices involved with their use. By rebuilding these instruments, and designing and building other devices,
