Comparison of Behaviour Exhibited by Horses Ridden in Conventional Bitted and Bitless Bridles
(Plymouth University, 2014)
The bitless bridle has been advocated as an alternative to traditional bitted bridles in many equestrian disciplines in order to avoid bit injury and distress that has been reported in previous research. Anecdotal observations ...
IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING PEDAGOGY AND IMPACT ON EMPLOYABILITY AND LEARNING WITHIN ENGINEERING EDUCATION FRAMEWORKS
(Plymouth University, 2015)
Engineering Education experiences turbulent changes, both from government pressures and from industry demands on readdressing the requirements of graduate capability.
Despite vast amounts of engineering literature ...
User-Centric Traffic Engineering in Software Defined Networks
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Software defined networking (SDN) is a relatively new paradigm that decouples individual network elements from the control logic, offering real-time network programmability, translating high level policy abstractions into ...
Testing the late-Holocene climate signal from ombrotrophic bogs in southernmost Chile and the Falkland Islands: a multi-proxy, multi-profile and multi-site approach
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Peatlands in Southern South America (SSA), in the path of the Southern Westerly Wind belt (SWW), offer the potential of reliable palaeoclimate archives. This investigation aimed to test the late-Holocene climate signal ...
An intelligent, fast-acquisition remote sensing system for locating and measuring burial of subsea power and telecommunication cables
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
This thesis describes novel methods to localise and estimate the burial depth of subsea cables. The limitation of the current methods is that they can measure the distance to the cable only in a small vicinity, usually up ...
COMPOSITE MATERIALS FILLED WITH FERROMAGNETIC MICROWIRE INCLUSIONS DEMONSTRATING MICROWAVE RESPONSE TO TEMPERATURE AND TENSILE STRESS
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Amorphous and polycrystalline microwires cast from ferromagnetic Fe-based or Co-based alloys
in glass envelope demonstrate unique magneto-anisotropic and high frequency impedance properties that
make them very attractive ...
Modulation of innate immune cells by the NAD+ pathway
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
NAD+ has previously been shown to regulate TNF-α synthesis and TNF-α has been shown to regulate NAD+ homeostasis, thus providing a link between a pro-inflammatory response and redox status. Despite the well-established ...
Taxonomy, physiology and biochemistry of the sulfur Bacteria
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Inorganic sulfur-oxidising Bacteria are present throughout the Proteobacteria and inhabit all environments of Earth. Despite these facts they are still poorly understood in terms of taxonomy, physiology, biochemistry and ...
A Novel Induction Heating System Using Multilevel Neutral Point Clamped Inverter
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
This thesis investigates a novel DC/AC resonant inverter of Induction Heating (IH) system presenting a Multilevel Neutral Point Clamped (MNPCI) topology, as a new part of power supply design. The main function of the ...
A QoE-driven Vertical Handover Management Framework for Multimedia Services over Wireless Networks
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
With advances in wireless technology and mobile devices, the number of mobile users using multimedia services has increased significantly in recent years. Mobile devices can be connected and roam on heterogeneous wireless ...
