Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation (1996)
Thesis
Cross, S. J. Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224363

In a ferroelectric liquid crystal small changes to the molecular structure can have significant effect upon the ferroelectric properties and mesomorphic behaviour. The addition of a substituent, which is both bulky and highly polar, to the aromatic c... Read More about Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation.

Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals (1996)
Thesis
Hindmarsh, P. B. Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218169

This thesis presents a detailed investigation of the relationship that exists between the molecular structure and the mesomorphic behaviour in discotic liquid crystals. This was achieved by the systematic alteration of the molecular architecture of o... Read More about Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals.

Who is in control? An investigation of nurse and patient beliefs relating to control of their health care (1994)
Journal Article
Smith, R., & Draper, P. (1994). Who is in control? An investigation of nurse and patient beliefs relating to control of their health care. Journal of advanced nursing, 19(5), 884-892. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2648.1994.tb01165.x

This study compares nurse and patient beliefs regarding control of health and perceptions of the amount of patient control. Data were collected from 21 nurses and 32 patients on a mixed surgical ward, using a series of self‐report questionnaires. No... Read More about Who is in control?

IR laser photochemistry of alkanols and 3,3-dimethyloxetane (1991)
Thesis
Bishop, M. B. IR laser photochemistry of alkanols and 3,3-dimethyloxetane. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214251

In this work, a pulsed CO₂ laser was used to excite methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, butan-2-ol, t-butanol, pentan-2-ol, hexan-2-ol, and 3,3-dimethyloxetane in order to study how these moleCUles absorb laser energy and decompose. The dependence of abs... Read More about IR laser photochemistry of alkanols and 3,3-dimethyloxetane.

High pulse repetition frequency XeCl laser and its applications (1990)
Thesis
Bishop, G. J. High pulse repetition frequency XeCl laser and its applications. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214209

This thesis discusses the development, characterisation and evaluation of a compact, medium power, XeCl laser operating at pulse repetition frequencies (prf) >1kHz. The use of this laser to cut polymer films by ablative etching is also presented.... Read More about High pulse repetition frequency XeCl laser and its applications.

The interaction of infra-red laser radiation with solid targets (1981)
Thesis
Sayers, J. A. The interaction of infra-red laser radiation with solid targets. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211281

The pulsed HF chemical laser was discovered in 1966 by Deutsch. Early lasers had very low power outputs; it is only more recently that high power pulsed HF/DF lasers have emerged. This thesis is concerned with the development of a 10J HF laser in 197... Read More about The interaction of infra-red laser radiation with solid targets.
