Abstract:

The computational demands of real-time image processing often dictate the use of techniques such as parallel processing to meet required performance. This thesis considers a range of technology which may be used to accelerate image processing operations. An occam compiler is ported to a PowerPC based parallel computer. A multiprocessor configuration tool and Run Time System is developed, allowing occam programs to be distributed over an arbitrary sized network of PowerPC microprocessors. Code optimization techniques for image processing operations are investigated, with the development of a po

To model complex systems, graphical formalisms have clear advantages: they are more intuitive and make it easier to visualise a system and convey intuitions or ideas about it. Graph rewriting rules can be used to model their dynamic evolution and from a practical point of view, graph transformations have many applications in specification, programming, and simulation tools. Strategic rewriting has been studied for term rewriting systems, and there are languages that allow the user to specify a strategy controlling the use of rewrite rules and to apply it.

Development of enzymatic labelling methods has been driven by the importance of studying molecular structures and interactions to comprehend cellular processes. Methyltransferases (MTases), which regulate genetic expression by transferring a methyl group from the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to DNA, histones and various proteins, have been shown to accept SAM analogues with an alternative alkyl group on the sulfonium centre. These alkyl groups can be transferred to the substrate, and with a further reaction can be selectively functionalized. Thus, MTases together with SAM analogues h

High Speed Machining (HSM) is associated with higher cutting velocities and table feedrates and higher material removal rate, lower cutting forces in contrast to conventional machining. HSM can be undertaken dry or near dry and hence it is considered as environmentally friendly machining in relation to the use of cutting fluids. A key challenge in HSM is that, the thermal loads generated during the cutting process can be a major driver of thermally activated wear mechanism and hence affect machining performance.

To integrate visual and haptic information effectively, the brain should only combine information that refers to the same object. Thus, it must solve a 'correspondence problem', to determine if signals relate to the same object or not. This could be achieved by considering the similarity of the two sensory signals in time and space. For example, if two size estimates are spatially separated or conflicting, it is unlikely that they originate from the same object; so sensory integration should not occur.

The geometry of pulsar beams is one of the intrinsic properties of neutron stars, governing the pulse-profile phenomenon and other aspects of pulsar astron- omy. With a number of pulsars in our dataset, their beam geometry is derived from the polarisation position angle (PPA) using the simple polar cap emission and dipole field model. This includes the rotating vector model (RVM), for which the solutions can hardly be constrained or fail to be consistent because of the lim- itations of the model itself.

Abstract:

Research Question: Is it possible to measure the parent/health visitor relationship? Aim: To develop and validate tools to measure the parent/health visitor relationship. Background: The helping relationship has been the subject of intense scrutiny in other helping professions, particularly psychotherapy where research has shown that it is crucial to positive outcomes for the client. Although health visitors assert that their relationships with parents are also of paramount importance to outcomes, no tools to measure these relationships exist. Methods: An extensive literature review of measure

Abstract:

The timing of onset of modern plate tectonics is currently in conflict. Some believe that it began in the Archaean whereas others prefer a Neoproterozoic onset. At issue is the lack of reliable recorders of changing styles of subduction. Whilst high-pressure rocks (eclogite and high-P granulites) are present in the rock record from Archaean times, low-temperature, high-pressure and ultrahigh- pressure rocks only appear in the Neoproterozoic. This latter association is the hallmark of steep subduction of cold oceanic crust and is central to the argument. Their disappearance from the rock record

Abstract:

Dating ductile shear zones is daunting because we have to demonstrate either that the chronometer of choice grew during shear zone operation or that crystal-plastic deformation induced age resetting. By adopting a petrochronological approach in this project combining petrographic, geochemical, U-Pb isotopic, and quantitative microstructural data U-Pb isotopic dates are linked with certain shear zone processes. The study area is the South Range of the world-class Sudbury Impact Structure. Specifically, mylonitic shear zones at the Creighton Mine (South Range, Sudbury) operated during three dist

Abstract:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, typically leads to death within 3-5 years of symptom onset. Understanding what causes ALS has been a challenge, but more research in this area, enhanced by advanced technology like high-throughput next generation sequencing, is paving the way for better information and direction. The volume of data generated by genetics researchers has dramatically increased, largely because of increased opportunities for collaboration. ALSoD, a widely used online genetics database for collating, analysing and integrating ALS data, has be

Abstract:

Background: Critically ill children require accurate haemodynamic assessment to evaluate the severity of illness or response to therapy. Clinical estimation of cardiac output is inaccurate. Hence, advanced haemodynamic monitoring devices may help guide physicians towards the most appropriate treatment strategy. However, none of the currently available monitors for children fulfil all the criteria of an ideal device. Methods: We evaluated two novel minimally invasive haemodynamic monitoring devices in 100 critically ill children. The transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) method is a validat

Illegal wildlife trade presents a serious threat to the long-term survival of certain species, which can have serious ecological and socio-economic consequences. Officials attempting to enforce wildlife trade legislation are often hampered by difficulties associated with the accurate identification of such items. In response, this thesis describes the development and application of molecular tools for the analysis of animal parts and derivatives, with reference to two main contemporary issues; namely, the illegal trade in bear (Ursid) parts and derivatives, and the illegal trade in rhinoceros

Abstract:

The manufacturing sector is one of the significant consumers of electricity, with about 42.3% (8249 TWh) of the global electricity consumption attributable to this sector. This electricity is generated from fossil fuels at the power stations, resulting in increased CO2 emission and subsequently global warming. Thus, energy efficiency could play a vital role in reducing electrical energy demand and environmental impacts in the manufacturing sector. Mechanical machining is one of the widely used techniques in manufacturing. Machine tools consist of auxiliary units, spindle, feed axes including t

Abstract:

The immobilisation of uranium is an important issue within the nuclear industry due to contaminated land from accidental spillage, weapons testing or mining activities. Within the environment uranium is most commonly found in the +VI oxidation state as the mobile uranyl cation [UO2]2+. Alternatively, the +IV oxidation state can also be found in the environment, forming either an insoluble crystalline uraninite phase, or a more soluble molecular uranium(IV) species. Many endogenous subsurface bacteria can bind and accumulate actinide ions through biosorption and can reduce mobile uranyl(VI) spe

Abstract:

Unlike other security methods, steganography hides the very existence of secret messages rather than their content only. Both steganography and steganalysis are strongly related to each other, the new steganographic methods should be evaluated with current steganalysis methods and vice-versa. Since steganography is considered broken when the stego object is recognised, undetectability would be the most important property of any steganographic system. Digital image files are excellent media for steganography, as they have redundancy in their representation. Also, the most widely used method of

Abstract:

Automated short-answer marking cannot 'guarantee' 100% agreement between the marks generated by a software system and the marks produced separately by a human. This problem has prevented automated marking systems from being used in high-stake short-answer marking. Given this limitation, can an automated short-answer marking system have any practical application? This thesis describes how an automated short-answer marking system, called IndusMarker, can be effectively used to improve learning and teaching.The design and evaluation of IndusMarker are also presented in the thesis.

Background: Patient-centred care (PCC) has been linked to many positive outcomes in medicine. Dentists currently have no available tool for practicing this approach as part of a daily routine in a dental setting. The latest UK General Dental Council (GDC) standards for dental teams has amplified the need for such a tool (GDC, 2013). Aim: The overall aim of this thesis is to develop and validate a tool for dentists in order to encourage them to practice PCC in dental settings.
