Cyclopentadithiophene and phenothiazine based compounds for emerging photovoltaics
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)Emerging photovoltaics (PVs), such as dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs), have attracted myriad attention in the PV field due to their attractive properties, especially suitable for niche ... -
Value of palliative care in newly diagnosed cancer
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)INTRODUCTION: Globally, deaths due to non-communicable diseases are on the rise, with low- and middleincome countries (LMICs) particularly affected. Palliative care (PC) reduces pain and suffering for patients with ... -
Development of novel imaging probes to investigate FPR1 and FPR2 mediated pathways in inflammation
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)The body is exposed to harmful stimuli, such as bacterial or cellular debris, on a daily basis. Inflammatory cells travelling to the site of damage are responsible in removing the harmful stimulus, a process known as a ... -
Manifestation of human agency designing the hybrid guitar for the humanisation of digital composition and performance
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)This research presents an exploration of personalised humanised approaches to performing and controlling digital music, as well as encapsulating human presence and feel in digital musical performance tools. Specifically, ... -
Interlaminar fracture behaviour of fibre reinforced powder epoxy composites
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)The aim of this work is to study delamination in fibre reinforced composites with applications in wind and tidal turbine blades. Powder epoxy composites are a very promising option for the manufacturing of large composite ... -
Victims, survivors and agentic experts: the linguistic performance of agentic identities by refugees in Scotland

Study and optimisation of ultra-high temperature thermal insulation structures with application to thermal energy storage
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)Today, high capacity energy storage remains one of the major obstacles to an economical full-scale development of renewable energy technologies, without which hundred-percent decarbonised electricity grid, power and heating ... -
Relationship between emotional regulation difficulties and aggression in forensic populations: a systematic review; and, An empirical study examining the mediating roles of emotional regulation and hostile attribution bias in the relationship between traumatic brain injury and violent offending
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-01)CHAPTER ONE: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW: High levels of violence and aggression are observed in forensic populations. Difficulties with emotional regulation (ER) may be a risk factor for aggression. This systematic review summarized ... -
Villages, politics and the everyday statemaking of post independent Zimbabwe
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)In this thesis I retrieve a stubbornly enduring polity, villages, from the margins of society, and propose that the everyday moments of their inhabitants have been at the core of some of the very important post independent ... -
Insecure attachment, emotion dysregulation and reflective functioning in adolescent substance use involvement; and, An initial meta-analysis of the effectiveness of third wave cognitive-behavioural therapies in the treatment of substance-use outcomes
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Problematic substance use presents as a complex and costly challenge to society. Literature in the field of substance use is scarce, particularly within the developmental context of adolescence. Emerging research suggests ... -
Structural investigations of elemental metals at multi-megabar pressures using toroidal diamond anvil cells
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Research at high pressures has revealed that the elemental metals, most of which have simple crystal structures at ambient conditions such as face-centred cubic, body-centred cubic, or hexagonal close-packed, transition ... -
Central pain processing in women with chronic pelvic pain syndrome
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is chronic or persistent pain perceived in structures related to the pelvis of either men or women. It is often associated with negative cognitive, behavioural, sexual, and emotional consequences ... -
Behavioural and physiological consequences of tooth resection in commercial piglets: implications for welfare
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)BACKGROUND: In commercial farming the shortening of piglet needle teeth is a common but controversial and legally restricted practice due to its potential to induce pain and stress. However, very limited data on the long ... -
Mapping of glucocorticoids and aldosterone in mouse kidney using mass spectrometry imaging
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Renal sodium balance is the main regulator of blood pressure homeostasis. Sodium balance is regulated by aldosterone (ALDO) and, according to recent studies, also by glucocorticoids. Abnormal hormonal regulation of sodium ... -
Circular cylinder in subsonic cross-flow at moderate Reynolds numbers: free and near-wall effects
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)The flow around a cylinder is a crucial engineering approximation and is well studied for a range of Reynolds numbers. However, the research into the effects of compressibility has lagged behind as a recent paper notes ... -
Persistent legal disagreement: its nature and theoretical relevance
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Disagreement among legal practitioners (mainly, judges and lawyers) about the content of the law is a pervasive feature of any modern legal system. Sometimes, subjects disagree about the content of the law because they ... -
Microbial responses to multiple extreme environments
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)Microorganisms are the most ancient, abundant and diverse form of life on Earth. Their ability to tolerate a variety of stresses has enabled microbial colonisation of extreme environments, including hot springs, soda lakes ... -
High-pressure study of the system Fe-Fe3S and its implications for sulphur in Earth’s core
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-30)The composition of the Earth’s core is unknown, beyond being composed of mostly iron and nickel. Seismological observations revealed that the core is less dense than Fe by 7% in the outer core and 4% in the inner core. ... -
