Privacy Awareness and Design for Live Video Broadcasting Apps
(2016-08-31)Many WWW-based live video broadcasting applications (e.g., YouNow, Meerkat, Periscope) do not implement privacy through design. In two studies we gathered information about the current use of such apps, and then designed ... -
Privacy Monitoring and Enforcement in a Web Service Architecture (WSA)
(2012-06-08)The growth of online activities in our daily lives has led to substantially increased attention on how organizations and their computer systems handle Personal Information (PI). Independently, the wide adoption of Web ... -
PRIVACY PROTECTION FOR MOBILE HEALTH (MHEALTH) IN NIGERIA: A CONSIDERATION OF THE EU REGIME FOR DATA PROTECTION AS A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR REFORMING NIGERIA’S PRIVACY LEGISLATION
(2015-04-07)The use of mobile technologies to provide and deliver healthcare is known as Mobile Health. Nigeria is one of the countries witnessing a profound use of these technologies. While discussions have focused on the potentials ... -
Privacy-Enhanced Public Name-Authority System for Building Research Communities
(2011-03-30)Today, the Internet has become an important source of information about academic researchers and their research activities.  The types of information one can obtain from the Internet include contact information, publication ... -
Private Instant Message Groups, Cohesion and Performance in Sport: A Mixed Methods Case Study
(2019-08-22)Online communication has been related to positive and negative outcomes for users outside of sport, but there is no known work looking at the effects of online communication in team-based sports. Therefore, this mixed ... -
PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY: AN ENGLISH SCHOOL APPROACH TO REGULATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
(2011-09-06)The growth and prevalence of the private military industry has led many to conclude that the state has outsourced one of its core functions: public security. As a global non-state actor, PMSCs pose a risk to state sovereignty ... -
PRIVATE SECURITY ACTORS IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF NIGER DELTA & NORTH-EASTERN NIGERIA IN WEST AFRICA.
(2021-08-27)Africa continues to be synonymous with a place of insecurity in contemporary times. This insecurity has met the parallel rise of private security actors. My thesis seeks to understand why private security services have ... -
PRO-INFLAMMATORY TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA SIGNALLING AS A THERAPEUTIC TARGET FOR REPETITIVE MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
(2021-09-14)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs in an estimated 50-60 million people annually, making it a major global health concern. Despite growing awareness of the risks associated with repetitive mild traumatic brain injury ... -

Probabilistic Approach for Q-based Ground Support Design
(2020-08-11)For tunnel, cavern, and shaft design, the inherent variability in a given rock mass domain makes accurately estimating rock quality and support requirements difficult. The Q system developed by Barton provides a method of ... -
PROBABILISTIC METHODS FOR ASSESSING RELIABILITY OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT VOLUME ESTIMATES
(2020-12-10)Sampling requirements for the quality control of environmental sediment contamination characterization are not currently explicit. The effect of sample size on the accuracy of estimated volume and variability of contaminated ... -
Probabilistic Modeling in Community-based Question Answering Services
(2012-04-03)Community-based Question Answering (CQA) services enable members to ask questions and have them answered by the community. These services have the potential of rapidly creating large archives of questions and answers. ... -

Probabilistic Seismic Slope Stability Design
(2016-04-28)Deterministic slope stability design charts for cohesive-frictional (c-φ) soils have been used by geotechnical engineers to examine the effects of earthquakes on slopes by identifying the critical seismic loading which ... -
PROBING CHANGES IN THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE INTERPHASE IN LI-ION CELLS
(2019-12-18)In Li-ion cells, a passivating film called the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) develops at the interface between the electrolyte and the electrode particles. The SEI is essential to the functionality of the cell, but ... -
Probing GPCR Activation: Functional Analysis of the N-terminus and Extracellular Loops of the Apelin Receptor
(2016-01-14)The apelin receptor (AR or APJ) is a class A (rhodopsin-like) G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) with wide distribution throughout the human body. Activation of AR by its cognate peptidic ligand, apelin, induces diverse ... -
Probing Membrane Catalyzed Apelin-Receptor Interactions by Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2017-05-08)Apelin is a peptidic hormone that activates the class A G-protein-coupled apelin receptor. Apelin is found in several bioactive isoforms in the body, ranging from 13 to 55 amino acids in length. Only the C-terminal 12 amino ... -
Probing proton structure through single polarisation observables of Compton scattering and pion photoproduction within the Delta(1232) region
(2015-05-01)Nucleon polarisabilities are fundamental structure observables, like the nucleon mass or charge, which are sensitive to the internal quark dynamics of the nucleon. Polarised Compton scattering off the proton can be used ... -
Probing the Causes and Effects of Parasitic Reactions in Lithium-Ion Cells
(2018-08-16)Parasitic reactions in lithium-ion cells consume solvent, salt and active lithium ions, resulting in a loss of capacity and eventual cell failure. The projects described in this thesis have the common goal of exposing the ... -
Probing the Reversible and Irreversible Volume Expansion Observed in Li-Ion Pouch Cells
(2017-12-05)The electrodes used in Li-ion cells experience a change in volume during lithiation and de-lithiation. This electrode volume expansion will affect a Li-ion cell, causing an overall volume change in compliant cell formats ...
