RADAR SIMULATOR TRAINING FOR EFFECTIVE MARITIME SEARCH AND RESCUE
(University of Plymouth, 1987)The main effort in locating and rescuing survivors of a maritime incident is borne by merchant shipping. This research shows that search and rescue is a task that will face most seafarers, but as they generally lack ... -
RAINDROP-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS AND THE MEASUREMENT OF PRECIPITATION BY RADAR IN A MARITIME LOCALE

Raised intracranial pressure presenting with spontaneous periorbital bruising: two case reports
(2004)The venous drainage of the orbit is known to be via the ophthalmic and vortex veins which communicate with the cavernous sinus. We describe two patients with raised intracranial pressure presenting with periorbital bruising. ... -
Random Effect Models For Repairable System Reliability
(University of Plymouth, 1997)The practical motivation for the work described in this thesis arose from the development of a new Jaguar car engine. Development tests on prototype engines led to multiple failure time data which are modelled as a ... -
Randomised controlled trial of stroke volume optimisation during elective major abdominal surgery in patients stratified by aerobic fitness
(2015-05-31)Abstract BACKGROUND: The benefits of stroke volume optimization during surgery are unclear, with recent data not replicating the positive effects of earlier studies. METHODS: This was a randomized controlled trial of ... -
Randomized controlled trial of intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy in aerobically fit and unfit patients having major colorectal surgery.
(EnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEngland, 2012-01)BACKGROUND: Intraoperative fluid therapy regimens using oesophageal Doppler monitoring (ODM) to optimize stroke volume (SV) (goal-directed fluid therapy, GDT) have been associated with a reduction in length of stay (LOS) ... -
Ranking of fibre-reinforced composite plate surface finish quality by wavelet texture analysis
(The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, 2016-06-01)In the automotive and other industries, the visual appearance of external surfaces is a key factor in perceived product quality. Traditionally, the quality of automotive surface finish has been judged by expert human ... -

Rapid and slow: Varying magma ascent rates as a mechanism for Vulcanian explosions
(2015-06-05)© 2015. Vulcanian explosions are one of the most common types of volcanic activity observed at silicic volcanoes. Magma ascent rates are often invoked as being the fundamental control on their explosivity, yet this factor ... -

RAPID CRYOGENIC FIXATION OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS FOR ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
(University of Plymouth, 1991)This thesis describes investigations into cryofixation by the plunge-cooling technique, at ambient pressure. The objective was to characterise coolants which are commonly used for cryofixation, so that the structure and ... -
Rapid detection of snakes modulates spatial orienting in infancy
Recent evidence for an evolved fear module in the brain comes from studies showing that adults, children and infants detect evolutionarily threatening stimuli such as snakes faster than non-threatening ones. A decisive ...
