Numerical modelling of turbulence and sediment concentrations under breaking waves using OpenFOAM®
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
This thesis presents the development of a novel numerical model capable of evaluating suspended sediment dynamics under breaking waves, and is based in the open source Computational Fluid Dynamics software, OpenFOAM®. The ...
A new framework and learning tool to enhance the usability of software
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Due to technological developments, apps (mobile applications) and web-based applications are now used daily by millions of people worldwide. Accordingly, such applications need to be usable by all groups of users, regardless ...
Renormalized energy momentum tensor from the Gradient Flow
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
Strongly coupled systems are elusive and not suitable to be described by conventional perturbative approaches. However, they are ubiquitous in nature, especially in particle physics.
The lattice formulation of quantum ...
Development of biomarker-based proxies for paleo sea-ice reconstructions
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
The analysis of the sea-ice diatom biomarker IP25 (a mono-unsaturated Highly Branched Isoprenoid (HBI) alkene) in Arctic marine sediments has previously been shown to provide a useful qualitative proxy measure for the past ...
Evaluating the impacts of integrating fisheries and conservation management
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
Historically, the governance streams of fisheries and conservation management have run separately to one another, with little attempt at integration despite their similar goals. Efforts to integrate the two have increased ...
Opportunities and Risks in Online Gaming Environments
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) have evolved from traditional video games in that they embrace both the technology of the Internet and video games. The massive “exodus” from the physical offline ...
Adaptive Neural Architectures for Intuitive Robot Control
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
This thesis puts forward a novel way of control for robotic morphologies. Taking inspiration from Behaviour Based robotics and self-organisation principles, we present an interfacing mechanism, capable of adapting both to ...
Local meteorology and its effect on electromagnetic wave propagation over the southern coast of the Arabian Gulf
(University of Plymouth, 2017)
The propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves of frequencies above 100MHz is affected by the existence and properties of the atmospheric duct, i.e. a horizontal layer in the lower atmosphere in which radio signals propagate ...
The effects of selected bio-active feed additives on NIle tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) production and health
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
Three investigations were conducted to assess the effects of selected bio-active feed additives on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) growth performance, feed utilisation, haemato-immunological status, intestinal morphology ...
Design of a solar cooling system for Iraq climate
(University of Plymouth, 2016)
With the objectives of designing a solar cooling system with cold storage unit for the Iraqi climate, solar energy resources were assessed and methods were proposed to enhance harvesting the solar energy in the Iraqi ...
