A GENERIC ARCHITECTURE FOR INSIDER MISUSE MONITORING IN IT SYSTEMS
(University of Plymouth, 2007)Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have been widely deployed within many organisations' IT nenvorks to delect network penetration attacks by outsiders and privilege escalation attacks by insiders. However, traditional IDS ... -
A Generic Network and System Management Framework
(University of Plymouth, 2002)Networks and distributed systems have formed the basis of an ongoing communications revolution that has led to the genesis of a wide variety of services. The constantly increasing size and complexity of these systems does ... -
Genetic analysis of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus
(University of Plymouth, 2002)There is increasing evidence to suggest that genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested that genetic variations in the aldose reductase ... -
GENETIC AND MOLECULAR FACTORS IN THE AETIO-PATHOGENESIS OF PANCREATITIS IN HUMANS
(University of Plymouth, 2003)Both acute (AP) and chronic (CP) pancreatitis are complex diseases, with a number of aetiologies and complex pathogeneses. A number of contributing factors are assessed here. Genetic studies were performed looking at a ... -
GENETIC BIODIVERSITY OF THE EUROPEAN BARNACLE CHTHAMALUS MONTAGUI
(University of Plymouth, 2009)Biodiversity ultimately is genetic diversity. Genetic diversity within species is eroded before negative trends in biodiversity become evident as loss of species or habitats. Hence, monitoring biodiversity at the genetic ... -
Genetic Transformation of Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var.botrytis) using Agrobacterium Tumefaciens as a Vector for Improved Stress Resistance
(University of Plymouth, 2013)Genetic transformation of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var.botrytis) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a vector for improved stress resistance. Fadil Al-Swedi Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is described ... -
GENETIC VARIATION FOR FRUIT DEVELOPMENT OF PISUM SATIVUM L., WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE RUGOSUS LOCUS
(University of Plymouth, 1986)This study has compared various aspects of pea fruit development, using two green-podded lines near-isogenic except for the r locus and a yellow-podded mutant having the genotype gpgp. The gp gene is associated with reduced ... -
The Genetics and Physiology of Abiotic Stress Disorder in Swede (Brassica napus var. napobrassica)
(Plymouth University, 2014)Swedes are extremely common as a root vegetable in Europe, USA, and Canada but are affected by the occasional presence of Brown Heart (BH) disorder affecting the marketable swede root. The incidence of BH has been reported ... -
Genotoxicology of diesel engine exhaust emissions in cultured mammalian cells
(University of Plymouth, 1994)Diesel exhaust emissions were collected from a 2 litre direct injection diesel engine using the Total Exhaust Solvent Scrubbing Apparatus (TESSA). Emission samples were collected from a series of two minute engine runs, ... -
GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS BY INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY USING SLURRY ATOMIZATION
(University of Plymouth, 1985) -
Geochemical and palynological signals for palaeoenvironmental change in south west England
(University of Plymouth, 1997)This thesis evaluates the utility of a geochemical technique for the investigation of palaeoenvironmental change in south west England. The method, EDMA (Energy Dispersive X-ray Micro Analysis), is a rapid, non-destructive ... -
GEOCHEMICAL CYCLES OF THE ATMOPHILE ELEMENTS ARSENIC AND ANTIMONY
(University of Plymouth, 1984)Atmospheric aerosol samples from coastal and open ocean environments in the North Atlantic were analysed for the atmophile elements arsenic and antimony, and for the marine tracers sodium and magnesium. The aerosol concentrations ... -
Geochemistry of suspended particles in the Tamar estuary
(University of Plymouth, 1990) -
Geochronology of salt-marsh sediments
(University of Plymouth, 2007)Salt-marsh sediments can provide important achives of past sea levels if they can be securely dated. This thesis investigates eight methods for dating salt-marsh sediments. These include traditional and established dating ... -
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) IN HIGHER EDUCATION: A STUDY OF PROVISION, PEDAGOGY AND EMPLOYABILITY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND TURKEY
(University of Plymouth, 2013)Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer-based systems designed to store, organize, analyse and present spatial data. They can be used to help understand and answer a wide variety of problems in fields such as ... -
GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVES ON RESIDENTIAL PROVISION FOR THE ELDERLY: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR
(University of Plymouth, 1990) -
Geometric and Extra-Geometric Spatial Conceptualisation: A cross-linguistic and non-verbal perspective
(University of Plymouth, 2008)Almost all past empirical work exploring the Functional Geometric Framework (FGF) proposed by Coventry and Garrod (2004) for spatial language use has been based on a single language - English. Therefore the extent to which ... -
A GEOMETRIC APPROACH TO MODELLING INTERACTING POPULATIONS
(University of Plymouth, 1997)The purpose of this thesis is to present a different approach to the formulation of differential equation mathematical models for interacting populations. It does this through considering a geometric method. The solution ... -
The Geometrical Thought of Isaac Newton: An Examination of the Meaning of Geometry between the 16th and 18th Centuries
(Plymouth University, 2015)Our thesis explores aspects of the geometrical work and thought of Isaac Newton in order to better understand and re-evaluate his approach to geometry, and specifically his synthetic methods and the organic description ... -
THE GEOMORPHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF EPHEMERAL AND RELICT RIVER VALLEY SYSTEMS IN THE NORTH PART OF THE IRAQI WESTERN DESERT
(Plymouth University, 2015)This research project provides a geomorphological and geological analysis of ephemeral and relict river valley systems in the north part of the Iraqi Western Desert. The area surveyed covers approximately 30 000 km2 and ...
