Improving the Performance of HiRep Lattice Simulations Software by Exploiting the CPU Hardware Architecture Details and Algorithm Characteristics
(University of Plymouth, 2024)In the scientific exploration of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)—the theory governing the strong interaction among quarks and gluons—large-scale numerical simulations are per formed using the framework of lattice gauge ... -
Computer vision enabled approaches to predicting responses to fluctuating temperatures in aquatic embryos
(University of Plymouth, 2024)Fluctuations in temperature are prevalent within environments inhabited by many ectotherms, and climate change continues to rapidly alter the thermal regimes of these environments. Early developmental stages are often the ... -
Poldarking the Past: Contested Heritage, Tourism and Identity in Post-mining Cornwall
(University of Plymouth, 2024)This thesis aimed to examine representations of Cornish identity and Poldark at heritage sites in Cornwall and how the local communities responded to these fictionalised representations. This thesis adopted an interpretivist ... -
A NOVEL MEASURE OF HABITS AND GOAL-DIRECTED CONTROL
(University of Plymouth, 2024)Repetitive habitual behaviour is thought to occur even when this directly conflicts with goals. This is termed an action slip. The current research aimed to present a simple procedure that captures action slips and is ... -
Employee Engagement: Understanding the ‘Personal’ Dimension of Engagement
(University of Plymouth, 2024)Kahn’s ‘personal engagement’ (PE) concept centres on the ways which ‘people employ and express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances’ (1990, p.694). However, engagement has been ... -
Development and Validation of a Patient-Reported Experience Measure for Older Adults Attending the Emergency Department: The PREM-ED 65 Study
(University of Plymouth, 2024)Emergency Department (ED) care traditionally focuses on resolving single-organ pathology, emphasising rapid patient flow. As such, ED care may fall short of addressing the holistic needs of older adults, where atypical ... -
The Thermal Performance and Tolerance of Tropical cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
(University of Plymouth, 2024)This thesis explores the theoretical and experimental applications of ecophysiological research for the management of aquatic organismal health within the ornamental trade. Ecophysiology investigates the interactions ... -
Mapping a lived experience in landscape: An artist’s analysis of GPS and GIS data
(University of Plymouth, 2024)This thesis involves a critical analysis of data types and digital interfaces used in a socially engaged arts practice aligned with the concerns of participatory mapping. The research identifies a problem which occurs ... -
Resilience thinking and the influence of street-level bureaucrats on the implementation of EU environmental policies in overseas territories: lessons from Gibraltar.
(University of Plymouth, 2024)The policy implementation literature has provided important insights on how policy formulation processes affect the achievement of policy goals and how street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) involved in policy implementation ... -
Secure Container-based High Performance Computing Architecture
(University of Plymouth, 2024)This PhD thesis addresses the evolving landscape of High Performance Computing (HPC) by focusing on the critical challenge of securing the use of container virtualisation within HPC environments. The traditional approach ...
