This study examines the validity of a theory of lslamic Corporate Reporting proposed by Baydoun and Willett (1994). Specifically, the theory suggests that Islamic communities would be better served by a corporate reporting ...
The violoncello sonatas of Luigi Boccherini
Until recently, it was generally assumed that Luigi Boccherini's six published sonatas for the cello were his only works for the medium. The publication, however, of a Thematic, Biographical and Critical Catalogue of the ...
Ice shelf – ocean boundary interaction
Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean remains poorly understood. Consequently the main topic of this thesis is the interplay between the ice shelf-ocean boundary and the mechanisms driving ice shelf ...
Mimesis and Power
This thesis investigates the complicated relationship between mimesis and power. It shows how a theoretical concern with mimesis has been at the heart of critical efforts to understand and overcome the systematic and ...
Endophytic phaeophyceae from New Zealand
The aims of this study were to find endophytic brown algae in marine macroalgae from New Zealand, isolate them into culture and identify them using morphological as well as molecular markers, to study the prevalence of ...
Image analysis of x-ray computed tomographic datasets, quantification of porosity, and applications to understanding fracturing of rock masses
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-destructive and powerful imaging technique allowing scanned objects to be three-dimensionally inspected and characterized across a wide range of sample sizes (from meters to micrometres) ...
Putting the stars within reach: NASA 3D data-based models in 3D print and virtual reality applications, and their potential effects on improving spatial reasoning skills and STEM interest in underrepresented groups of young female learners
This study examined the effects of data-based astrophysical 3D models delivered via computer based interactions, virtual reality, and 3D prints, on spatial reasoning skills and interest in science, technology, engineering, ...
Characterization of X-ray Detectors for MARS Spectral CT Technology
The quality of the spectral images acquired using a spectral imaging system relies on the performance quality of its energy discriminating detector. This thesis reports on the development of pragmatic techniques and ...
Wearable devices for jaw activity monitoring
The present work, which focuses on wearable devices for jaw activity monitoring is in a hybrid thesis format, whereby material published or sent for publication is inserted in the chapters of the thesis. The thesis is ...
On the functions of palladium (II) cages
This thesis consists of four chapters.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of metallosupramolecular chemistry, detailing the three main approaches to self-assembled metallosupramolecular architectures: the ligand direct ...
