Characterisation of Local Mechanical Properties in Living Tissues
(2017-07-21)The process of a single cell evolving into a complex organism results from a series of coordinated movements of cells and tissues, especially during early embryo development. Although a wealth of morphological data ... -
On the Synthesis of Passive Networks without Transformers
(2014-07-19)This thesis is concerned with the synthesis of passive networks, motivated by the recent invention of a new mechanical component, the inerter, which establishes a direct analogy between mechanical and electrical networks. ... -
Error Behaviour In Optical Networks
(2005-12-01)Optical fibre communications are now widely used in many applications, including local area computer networks. I postulate that many future optical LANs will be required to operate with limited optical power budgets for a ... -
The Flexoelectro-optic Effect for Photonics Applications
(2006-07-22)This thesis comprises an account of research carried out into the flexoelectro-optic effect, as observed in chiral nematic liquid crystals, and its potential for application in fibre optic communications components. The ...
