The sedimentology of coarse grained hyperconcentrated flow deposits within modern and ancient volcaniclastic and alluvial fan sequences (1989)
Thesis
MacFadyen, C. C. J. The sedimentology of coarse grained hyperconcentrated flow deposits within modern and ancient volcaniclastic and alluvial fan sequences. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4210405

A minor eruption of Mount Saint Helens in Washington State U. S. A. in 1984, triggered the formation of a debris flow in the headwaters of the North Fork Toutle River. As the debris flow progressed downstream it transformed through the incorporation...

The Douglas-Peucker algorithm for line simplification : re-evaluation through visualisation (1989)
Preprint / Working Paper
Visvalingam, M., & Whyatt, J. D. The Douglas-Peucker algorithm for line simplification : re-evaluation through visualisation

The primary aim of this paper is to illustrate the value of
visualization in cartography and to indicate that tools for the
generation and manipulation of realistic images are of limited value
within this application. This paper demonstrates the v... Read More about The Douglas-Peucker algorithm for line simplification : re-evaluation through visualisation.

Structural prerequisites for the design of information systems : a cybernetic diagnosis of a steel distribution organisation (1989)
Thesis
Salah, M. Structural prerequisites for the design of information systems : a cybernetic diagnosis of a steel distribution organisation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218941

Information systems design has been strongly influenced by computer technology. However, there are other aspects which can also influence information systems design. It seems that organisational design can greatly influence the success of information...

Perburbation and non-perburbation numerical calculations to compute energy eigenvalues for the Schrödinger equation with various types of potential (1989)
Thesis
Witwit, M. R. Perburbation and non-perburbation numerical calculations to compute energy eigenvalues for the Schrödinger equation with various types of potential. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217705

The present work is concerned with methods of finding the energy eigenvalues of the one-particle Schrödinger equation for various model potentials in one, two, three and N-dimensional space. One major theme of this thesis is the study of diverent Ray...

An investigation of heavy metal tolerance and reproduction in Nereis diversicolor with reference to their use for biomonitoring (1989)
Thesis
Hateley, J. G. An investigation of heavy metal tolerance and reproduction in Nereis diversicolor with reference to their use for biomonitoring. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4210291

Industrially-derived heavy metals are increasingly responsible for contamination of coastal and estuarine waters. All stages of metal production are sources of contamination, the main contributors being acidic mine drainage waters and smelting works....

Nonlinear control of an industrial robot (1989)
Thesis
Gilbert, J. M. (. M. Nonlinear control of an industrial robot. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216577

The precise control of a robot manipulator travelling at high speed constitutes a major research challenge. This is due to the nonlinear nature of the dynamics of the arm which make many traditional, linear control methodologies inappropriate. An alt...

Aspects of the economic and social history of the Greek community in Alexandria during the nineteenth century (1989)
Thesis
Glavanis, P. M. Aspects of the economic and social history of the Greek community in Alexandria during the nineteenth century. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4210303

This study is intended to be a contribution to nineteenth century Egyptian historiography with particular reference to a discussion of aspects of the economic and social role and activities of the Greek community in Alexandria. Given, however, the al... Read More about Aspects of the economic and social history of the Greek community in Alexandria during the nineteenth century.

Soil development, environmental history and the dating of terraced valley fill deposits in the North York Moors, with specific reference to Dovedale Howe Beck (1989)
Thesis
Peters, N. R. Soil development, environmental history and the dating of terraced valley fill deposits in the North York Moors, with specific reference to Dovedale Howe Beck. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218163

Detailed investigation of the valley fill deposits of Dovedale Griff and Jugger Howe Beck, together with a sedimentological and palaeomagnetic investigation of the sediments of Lake Gormire, provide the basis for an integrated analysis of the tempora...

Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units (1989)
Thesis
Caldwell, D. G. Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216714

A co-polymer made from Polyvinyl Alcohol and Polyacrylic Acid (PVA-PAA) has been synthesized to form new robotic actuation systems which use the contractile and variable compliance properties of this material. The stimulation of these fibres is studi... Read More about Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units.

The documentary novel : fact, fiction or fraud? An examination of three Scandinavian examples of the documentary novel from the 1960s and 1970s (1989)
Thesis
Hinchliffe, I. The documentary novel : fact, fiction or fraud? An examination of three Scandinavian examples of the documentary novel from the 1960s and 1970s. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215024

This study seeks primarily to examine three Scandinavian examples of the documentary novel. Initially I endeavour to isolate certain purported characteristics of the genre as a whole by considering which aspects of a narrative have prompted the criti...
