Population density and immune investment in different developmental stages of Tenebrio molitor
(University of Plymouth, 2020)Immune responses are costly, so organisms should invest in immunity when environmental cues indicate a high risk of infection. The density-dependent prophylaxis (DDP) hypothesis proposes that because the risk of infection ... -
Evaluating the role of citizen science in biological investigations
(University of Plymouth, 2020)Considering recent and predicted ecological changes (caused by global climate change), baseline monitoring of biological diversity becomes an extremely useful record to have. Citizen science provides a unique, low-cost, ... -
The depositional environments and structures of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group and the Windermere Supergroup in the Southern Lake District, England
(University of Plymouth, 2020)Field studies have been undertaken on the Borrowdale Volcanic Group (BVG) and the Windermere super group (WS) in the southern Lake District. This study has been conducted to provide further work towards the understanding ... -
Assessing the security of cryptographic primitives for infinite groups
(University of Plymouth, 2020)This paper considers the application of group theory to cryptography using a nonabelian infinite group (the braid group). The practical application of cryptographic protocols are determined by their security and feasibility. ... -
Investigating the Effects of Interrupting Gender-Related Schematic Encoding and Memory Recall in an Adult Population
(University of Plymouth, 2020)Schema theory accounts for the incompleteness and distortions in memory. Theories suggest a person’s prior knowledge can influence their encoding and retrieval abilities. Concerning gender-schemas, someone’s stereotypical ... -
Finite Element Modelling of the Interfacial Debonding Behaviour between Carbon Fibre Textile and Concrete
(University of Plymouth, 2020)This research deals with integrating finite element modelling into the investigation of the interfacial debonding behaviour between carbon fibre textile and concrete. A Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) replicating a pull-out ...
