The flexible pavement suffers primarily from three types of distress: fatigue cracking, thermal cracking, and permanent deformation. Thermal effects from climate are a significant in distress and early aging of pavements, and particularly in extreme...

Sediment Entrainment In Two Large Upland Gravel Bed Rivers (2023)
Thesis
The sediment dynamics of river systems are of importance from an ecological, social and engineering viewpoint and are defined by complex relationships of various variables. Numerous threshold theories (such as Bagnolds stream power equation, Hjulstro... Read More about Sediment Entrainment In Two Large Upland Gravel Bed Rivers.
Determining management strategies to control ash dieback disease through molecular and environmental interactions (2023)
Thesis
Forest trees have been increasingly threatened by invasive pathogens,
endangering associated biodiversity, and reducing ecosystems. Such an alien pathogen,
Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has had considerable impacts on the common ash tree
(Fraxinus exce... Read More about Determining management strategies to control ash dieback disease through molecular and environmental interactions.
Position of the Frenkel Line in supercritical nitrogen at 25°C, 75°C, 100°C and 125°C (2023)
Thesis
The pressure at which the Frenkel line was crossed in supercritical nitrogen was investigated at different temperatures via Raman spectroscopy, using a diamond anvil cell to control pressure and ruby or Sm:YAG as a pressure scale. The results for the... Read More about Position of the Frenkel Line in supercritical nitrogen at 25°C, 75°C, 100°C and 125°C.
The Lobster Pregnancy Test: A Molecular Tool In Support Of Lobster Stocks And Fisheries In The UK (2023)
Thesis
The European Lobster (Homarus gammarus) is one of the highest value shellfish species landed in the UK and accounts for a large part of British shellfish fisheries. However, high demand for this sought-after commodity has led to overfishing and decli...

According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report in 2022, it is stated that there are more than 100 million people were forcible displaced in the year 2022, most of them within their own countries. Thus, the extraction of oil and g...

Enabling Urban Agriculture in the Global North and South: A Comparative Study of the UK and Nigeria (2023)
Thesis
As the world's urban population rises, we must reconsider our relationship with food. As a result of the growing population and insufficient food produced in rural regions, poverty and hunger are on the rise. Urban Agriculture (UA) has the potential...

Optical and electrical characteristics of erbium doped solids for quantum technology applications (2023)
Thesis
This thesis explores the potential of Er:Si for quantum technology applications. The
unique optical transitions of erbium in the 1.5 μm region make it a suitable candidate
for both telecommunication and silicon photonics applications and the proper... Read More about Optical and electrical characteristics of erbium doped solids for quantum technology applications.
A Biomimicry Model for Design of Building Facades (2023)
Thesis
It is increasingly recognised that the built environment and subsequently buildings are
significant contributors to many drivers of global environmental degradation, including
climate change, loss of biodiversity, and reductions in the ability of e... Read More about A Biomimicry Model for Design of Building Facades.
Policy, Regulatory and Commercial Considerations for the Implementation of a Mobility as a Service System (2023)
Thesis
Transport and access to mobility have been highlighted as a key factor in enabling economic growth and improving quality of life. However, widely used transport modes, such as private vehicles, also negatively impact cities and towns in several ways,...
