• Use of sap flow measuring techniques to estimate water-use of multi-stem plants 

  Seymour, Ian Leslie (2006-01-19)

  In the UK, coppice willow is a potentially high yielding energy crop which if widely planted could have significant effects of hydrology. This is one reason why researchers are interested in developing reliable techniques ...
• Continuous mass flow measurement of granular materials 

  Saunders, Stuart P. (1997-10)

  This thesis reports on the development of a double inclined plane (DIP) transducer system based upon the principles of force reaction. This transducer had a design specification to measure the true mass of “free” flowing ...
• Optimising the Performance of Shallow, High-Speed Mouldboard Ploughs 

  Saunders, Christopher (2002-04-02)

  The aim of the project was to undertake experimental and theoretical research, to enable a better understanding of the design of modem mouldboard ploughs. Using this knowledge to optimise the performance in terms of ...
• Pricing as a relationship marketing instrument 

  Santschi, Barbara (2006-03-06)

  Although the principles of relationship marketing are well understood, the role of pricing in building relationships between supply chain partners has not been researched. This study was designed to determine the role, ...
• Strategic monitoring of crop yields and rangeland conditions in Southern Africa with Remote Sensing 

  Sannier, Christophe (2000-01)

  The monitoring of vegetation resources is of vital importance for Southern African countries because of the dominance of agriculture in the economy. The use of remote sensing techniques in a national or local planning ...
• Strengthening the local rural economy: promoting the sustainability of rural business in Bedfordshire 

  Reeves, A. J. (2002-09-25)

  This research was undertaken for Bedfordshire County Council to investigate appropriate mechanisms for the promotion of sustainable rural business in Bedfordshire. The research seeks to provide insights into the future ...
• Seawater greenhouse for arid lands 

  Raoueche, Abdelkrim (1997-09)

  The growth of the world’s population and the consequent food shortage, requires the expansion of agriculture into arid zones which constitute about 60 % of the earth’s land area and are characterized by high levels of ...
• A GIS based dataset to assess the influence of countryside planning policies on landscape change in Bedfordshire 

  Peccol, Elisabetta (1994-02)

  A GIS database for a study area (96 Km^) within the county of Bedfordshire (southern England) was established to provide statistical and mapped information on the distribution, extent and change through time of land-cover ...
• Design of the robotic self-travelling sprinkler system 

  Ozaki, Yuriko (1999-08)

  A conventional rain gun system is adversely affected by windy conditions. Therefore, the robotic self-travelling sprinkler (STS) system that controls the head and the water supply with relation to instant windy ...
• Microbial diversity in contaminated soil 

  O'Flaherty, S. M. (2002-09)

  Little is known about soil population dynamics: how microbial communities are affected by environmental stress; whether they respond adversely, or adjust to it; what the extent and duration of these adjustments might be; ...
• An evaluation of the responses of some tea clones to environment in Kenya 

  Ng'etich, Wilson Kipkoech (1995-02)

  An experiment set up at four sites in Kericho, Kenya was used to investigate Genotype x Environment interactions of four tea clones of commercial and scientific interest. Small differences in environment resulted in ...
• Towards the Molecular Diagnosis of Bladder and Colorectal Cancer : Analysis of CD44 Exon Splicing 

  Morgan, Sarah Louise (2002-08)

  The literature suggests that CD44 has the potential to be used as a non-invasive tumour specific marker for early detection and monitoring. The gene transcript can undergo alternative splicing, leading to the production ...
• A Peroxide Sensor for the Food and Beverages Industry 

  Moody, A. P. (2001-11)

  Due to desirable environmental reasons, peroxides have replaced halogenated substances for disinfection purposes in the food and beverage industry. However, cost issues and the requirement to completely remove these ...
• Erosion hazard assessment in the upper Ewaso Ng’iro basin of Kenya: application of GIS, USLE and EUROSEM 

  Mati, Bancy Mbura (1999-09-15)

  A methodology was developed for assessing soil erosion hazard in the Upper Ewaso Ng’iro basin of Kenya, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the European Soil Erosion ...
• An attempt to extend means-end theory: An investigation of the linkages between choice behaviour and values 

  Manyiwa, Simon (2003-04)

  The research problem was identified as a lack of means - end theory linking choice behaviour to values. The aim of the study was, therefore, to determine whether or not the means-end theory could be extended to linking ...
• Biological and artificial receptors in affinity sensor for water toxins detection 

  Lotierzo, Manuela (2003-01)

  Molecular recognition is the basis for many of the chemical and biochemical phenomena occurring in living organisms. For example, antibodies, which are one of the different classes of natural receptor molecules, are ...
• Alternative chemical control of anthracnose and crown rot of banana caused by Colletotrichum musae 

  Khan, Sabir Hussain (2000-11)
