VLE based analysis and design
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Students that are taught Structural Analysis and Design are confined to being shown a limited number of worked examples within an allocated lecture time. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) would offer students the ... -
The effects of turbulence on vertical distributions and concentrations of phytoplankton in (Case II) coastal waters
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Estuaries are extensive habitats that are vulnerable to rising sea levels; a detailed understanding of biological and physical interactions is required to predict future change. Surveys were conducted in an estuarine ... -
The Sea and Me (2)
(University of Plymouth, 2017)This work looks at the importance of marine data explored through photographic form. Scientifically, this graph looks at fish stocks around the United Kingdom that have been sustainably harvested. Photographically, this ... -
An investigation into the response of a modular pontoon system to wave loading
(University of Plymouth, 2017)This project involves investigating the response of a modular pontoon system when put under wave loading. In addition, this report also hopes to establish a point at which the movement of a pontoon due to waves will cause ... -
Field and laboratory investigation into scour around breakwaters
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Coastal scour accounts for a significant proportion of the damage to marine structures. It is therefore important to be able to measure, model and predict scour effects to inform the design of new structures and to assess ... -
To what extent are veterinary practices prepared to treat wildlife patients? A cross-sectional study of perceptions of responsibility and capability of treating wildlife in UK veterinary practices
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Attribution of responsibility for wildlife is ambiguous, which can be problematic for those inextricably associated with wildlife care and managing decision-making processes, including veterinary professionals within ... -
Evaluation of floodwater loading on domestic housing
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Floodwater pressure on domestic housing can cause damage or collapse. With the increased use of property level protection, more property owners are taking actions to limit water ingress at the cost of increased floodwater ... -
Flexural behaviour of BFRP rebar reinforced concrete beams
(University of Plymouth, 2017)However, the findings have been variable suggesting a more refined experimental model to produce more robust results is needed. Therefore, the overall aim of this study was to improve the current understanding of BFRP ... -
Nonlinear finite element bending analysis of Cold-Formed Steel of 'Z' section beams
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Cold-formed steel Z section beams are widely used as the secondary structural members in buildings to support roof and sheeting or side cladding. In general, cold-formed steel sections are slender elements and have open ... -
A machine learning approach to the classification of phishing bot accounts within Twitter
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Social network bots are becoming an ever-greater threat to online users. Most studies carried out have looked at bots which generate a lot of tweets known as spam, as these are very common. In recent years research into ...
