Non-Intrusive Continuous User Authentication for Mobile Devices
(Plymouth University, 2014)The modern mobile device has become an everyday tool for users and business. Technological advancements in the device itself and the networks that connect them have enabled a range of services and data access which have ... -
Non-Intrusive Subscriber Authentication for Next Generation Mobile Communication Systems
(University of Plymouth, 2006)The last decade has witnessed massive growth in both the technological development, and the consumer adoption of mobile devices such as mobile handsets and PDAs. The recent introduction of wideband mobile networks has ... -
NON-LINEAR MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR PROCESS PLANTS USING SOFT COMPUTING APPROACHES
(Plymouth University, 2014)The developments of advanced non-linear control strategies have attracted a considerable research interests over the past decades especially in process control. Rather than an absolute reliance on mathematical models of ... -
Non-Standard Sound Synthesis with Dynamic Models
(University of Plymouth, 2013)This Thesis proposes three main objectives: (i) to provide the concept of a new generalized non-standard synthesis model that would provide the framework for incorporating other non-standard synthesis approaches; (ii) to ... -
Non-transferrin-bound iron and protein glycation in type 2 diabetes
(University of Plymouth, 2012)Background and Methods The involvement of iron in the risk for, and complications of, type 2 diabetes has generated substantial interest over the past 15 years, initially sparked by an association with raised serum ferritin, ... -
Nonlinear interactions of waves and currents with structures in nearshore environments
(University of Plymouth, 2006)In this thesis, nonlinear interactions of waves and currents with structures in nearshore environments are investigated. The emphasis of the research is to model the encountered multiple scales of hydrodynamics (e. g. ... -
Normalizability, integrability and monodromy maps of singularities in three-dimensional vector fields
(Plymouth University, 2015)In this thesis we consider three-dimensional dynamical systems in the neighbourhood of a singular point with rank-one and rank-two resonant eigenvalues. We first introduce and generalize here a new technique extending ... -
North Korea: Transport and Logistics Scenarios and South Korean Enterprises' Location Decisions
(University of Plymouth, 2012)North Korea is one of the world’s last remaining communist countries. Insistence on self-sufficiency has resulted in the stagnation of its economy and collapse of its transport distribution system. This research project ... -
Northeast Asian containerised maritime logistics: supply chain collaboration, collaborative advantage and performance
(Plymouth University, 2014)This thesis aims to develop and validate the dimensions of supply chain collaboration and collaborative advantage in the containerised maritime industry and explores the impact of supply chain collaboration on collaborative ... -
Not Art: An Action History of British Underground Cinema
(University of Plymouth, 2003)My thesis is both an oppositional history and a (re)definition of British Underground Cinema culture (1959 - 2(02). The historical significance of Underground Cinema has long been ideologically entangled in a mesh of academic ... -
Not just ticking the box: an investigation into safeguarding adults training transfer in Cornwall, UK
(University of Plymouth, 2012)Safeguarding adults is a priority in adult social care, and training is one of the main ways in which policy and guidance around it is implemented. Training transfer refers to the use of new learning on the job, and while ... -
The (not so) Intelligent House: User Perception in an Interactive Architectural Environment
(University of Plymouth, 2018)The architecture of change bears in its name the vision and the hope of an architecture that has evolved from a static deterministic designer-defined disposition, where a user has to adapt to a given setting, to an ... -
Notions of a Radical Moving Image Archive as a Problematic
(University of Plymouth, 2017)The concerns of this thesis stem from the reflections of a filmmaker and the recognition of artists’ use of archival materials in moving image practice as an intervention in making visible aspects of experience that are ... -
