description: Octagonal concrete-filled steel tubular (OCFST) columns combine the benefits of circular and square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns so that they not only possess higher strength and ductility but also provide the ease of connection to composite beams. However, research studies have been very limited on the performance analysis of OCFST short beam-columns subjected to eccentric loading. In this study, a fiber-based numerical model is developed for the performance simulation of high-strength OCFST short beam-columns under eccentric loading. The simulation model takes into account material nonlinearities and concrete confinement induced by the octagonal steel tube. Computational methods are given that predict the axial load–moment interaction curves and moment–curvature responses of OCFST beam-columns. The developed fiber model is verified against available test data with good accuracy. The influences of important parameters on the responses of high-strength OCFST short beam-columns are studied by means of utilizing the computational model. It is found that the behavior of OCFST beam-columns is significantly influenced by the diameter-to-thickness ratio of the cross-section, concrete strength, steel yield stress, and axial load ratio. Interaction equations are proposed for expressing the axial load–moment strength envelopes of the cross-sections of OCFST beam-columns and validated against numerical results.
title: Adopting password manager applications among smartphone users
Creators: name: Alkaldi, Nora Abdullah
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Password manager.

description: People use weak passwords for a variety of reasons, the most prescient of these being memory load and inconvenience. The motivation to choose weak passwords is even more compelling on smartphones because entering complex passwords is particularly time consuming and arduous on small devices. Password managers are a potential solution to the password conundrum, but it is unfortunate that these applications have not enjoyed widespread adoption. This thesis investigated the adoption of password manager applications and filled an important gap in the human-centric and information security literature. It concentrated on end users’ perceptions, the factors that influence the adoption decisions of password managers and how to encourage them to adopt these tools. The thesis begins with an exploratory study to investigate the current state of password manager adoption and to understand the reasons that impede or encourage the adoption of password managers. Qualitative data was collected and the data was analysed using Grounded Theory. This study found that the adoption process of password managers goes through six stages. Accordingly, recommendations were suggested to improve the adoption of password manager applications. The factors that influence the intention to adopt a password manager were next identified and empirically validated using migration theory as a theoretical foundation. These factors were identified based on interviews with smartphone users, resulting in a proposed migration model. The proposed model was then tested quantitatively with smartphone users. Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis found that users’ dissatisfaction with their password-coping behaviours, and their perception of the usefulness and the effectiveness of password managers positively influenced their intention to adopt a password manager. On the other hand, users’ perceived risk of using password managers, and the cost of setting up these tools, deterred the intention to adopt. Also, the result confirmed the positive influence of social influence (Descriptive norms) on adoption intention. Finally, the thesis presents an investigation into the impact of a recommender application that harnessed the tenets of self-determination theory to encourage the adoption of password managers. This theory argues that meeting a person’s autonomy, relatedness and competence needs will make them more likely to act. To test the power of meeting these needs, a factorial experiment was conducted, in the wild. Each of the three self-determination factors and all individual combinations thereof were satisfied, and the short-term adoption of password managers was observed (i.e. the installation of a password manager). When all the self-determination factors were satisfied, adoption was highest, while meeting only the autonomy or relatedness needs individually significantly improved the likelihood of adoption.

The securitisation of migration and refugee women
Creators: name: Gerard, Alison Frances
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research contributes a gendered analysis of the securitisation of migration by focusing on women‟s experiences of irregular migration. The Central Mediterranean European Union Member State of Malta finds itself on the frontline of policing and securing Europe‟s southern external borders against transnational migrant subjects (Gil-Bazo 2006; Klepp 2010). Through qualitative interviews with refugee women in Malta, and members of law enforcement agencies and representatives of non-government organisations operating in the Maltese context, this thesis seeks to understand how the securitisation of migration impacts upon women‟s experiences across four key stages of migration – exit, transit, arrival and onward migration. Malta is the geographical site at which the four stages of the border crossing process are examined. The securitisation of migration, underpinned by familiar criminal justice practices of deterrence, punishment and risk-reduction as examined here conflicts with the central tenets of refugee protection. This thesis explores the gendered dimensions of the tensions between these two legal frameworks and how they relate to women‟s experiences of crossing international borders from Somalia into Malta to seek refugee protection. Women‟s agency and resilience are enacted within frames of violence, punishment, containment and control. The securitisation of migration influences complex decision-making at each stage along the migratory path, produces layered and gendered vulnerabilities, and can culminate in the deteriorating mental and physical health of refugee women, particularly at the stage of arrival in Malta. This research contributes a micro account of the securitisation of migration to refocus the debate on the everyday life experiences of those most directly affected by this restrictive apparatus – transnational migrant subjects.

title: Molecular mechanisms of antigen-specific memory CD4 T cell tolerance and the implications for tolerogenic therapy
Creators: name: Gray, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: CD4 T cells, memory, tolerance.

description: A major goal in autoimmune therapies is to tolerise immune cells, such as memory CD4 T cells, that co-ordinate tissue damage. Memory CD4 T cells exhibit greater responses upon subsequent re-exposure to their cognate antigen. Whilst the mechanisms of primary effector or naïve CD4 T cells are quite well defined, much less is known about the induction of tolerance within memory CD4 T cells. Improving knowledge of the poorly defined mechanisms of tolerance induction could refine and advance current therapies. Previous work in the lab has demonstrated that memory CD4 T cells located in lymphoid organs are susceptible to tolerogenic stimulation upon subsequent restimulation in vivo. This resulted in the Ag-specific deletion of these cells. The mechanisms of this tolerance induction are unknown. Using a novel mouse model of inducible TCR stimulation, I was able to isolate memory CD4 T cells to explore the molecular mechanisms that govern memory CD4 T cell apoptosis upon exposure to tolerogenic stimulation. These cells exhibit features of mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy, metabolism and downstream TCR signalling. As many target organs in autoimmune diseases in the periphery, it was also important to know whether these same molecular mechanisms of tolerance induction were observable in a peripheral tissue. Using a mouse model of IAV infection I was able to demonstrate a phenotype of partial tolerance within the memory CD4 T cell compartment, where ability to accumulate and provide help to B cells were impaired. Further, altering the inflammatory nature of the subsequent stimulation allowed these cells to overcome the impairments and respond. Together, these data describe a state of plasticity within the memory CD4 T cell compartment, where tolerance is not fixed but highly regulated to allow memory T cells to survive in conditions of suboptimal stimulation. These data are highly relevant to the development of tolerogenic therapies that aim to dampen memory CD4 T cell responses and the testing of multiple parameters is required to gain full insight into the efficacy of tolerogenic therapy.

Subjects: subject: Family business, philanthropy, case study research strategy, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, capability approach framework, Southeast Asia, Malaysia.

description: This study explores how family business adds value to society above and beyond the business goals of creating wealth, through their engagement in philanthropy. It argues that the family business owners gain sustainability and competitiveness of business by active engagement in philanthropy. The objective of the study is to bring clarity and understanding to the phenomenon of family business philanthropy. Specifically, it explores: the philanthropist’s family background, the role of family values and other critical aspects that influence the philanthropist’s engagement in philanthropy. The study considers the selection of recipients and what influences the selection of beneficiaries; the actual philanthropic efforts of the family business, the legitimacy of such efforts and approaches; and, the transformational outcomes of the recipients as a result of philanthropy. A qualitative research methodology and a multi research case strategy are used on account of the exploratory nature of this study. A total of 37 in-depth interviews with five levels of respondents, including philanthropists, their children, key management personnel, foundation employees, and recipient beneficiaries was undertaken. This approach supported an inductive analysis and interpretation of the data, within and across the case studies, whilst considering the external landscape of family business philanthropy. The study identified a range of factors that contribute to, and motivate the owners of family business to become actively engaged in philanthropy and considers the outcomes of these activities. This study provides evidence on the practice of family business in philanthropy, its relationship between family involvement and the relevance of philanthropy in the growth and sustainability of the business. The study identifies the importance of moral, ethical, spiritual and religious obligations that reveal the philanthropists being motivated to their philanthropic tendency. The study shows that the principle of philanthropy is deeply rooted in religious obligations of the family business owners. Finally, the study emphasises the importance of capability enhancement in recipients as a result of the efforts contributed by the philanthropists.

title: Bayesian inference for continuous time Markov chains
Creators: name: Alharbi, Randa
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Bayesian inference, Markov chain, Markov chain Monte Carlo, approximate Bayesian computation.

description: Continuous time Markov chains (CTMCs) are a flexible class of stochastic models that have been employed in a wide range of applications from timing of computer protocols, through analysis of reliability in engineering, to models of biochemical networks in molecular biology. These models are defined as a state system with continuous time transitions between the states. Extensive work has been historically performed to enable convenient and flexible definition, simulation, and analysis of continuous time Markov chains. This thesis considers the problem of Bayesian parameter inference on these models and investigates computational methodologies to enable such inference. Bayesian inference over continuous time Markov chains is particularly challenging as the likelihood cannot be evaluated in a closed form. To overcome the statistical problems associated with evaluation of the likelihood, advanced algorithms based on Monte Carlo have been used to enable Bayesian inference without explicit evaluation of the likelihoods. An additional class of approximation methods has been suggested to handle such inference problems, known as approximate Bayesian computation. Novel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches were recently proposed to allow exact inference. The contribution of this thesis is in discussion of the techniques and challenges in implementing these inference methods and performing an extensive comparison of these approaches on two case studies in systems biology. We investigate how the algorithms can be designed and tuned to work on CTMC models, and to achieve an accurate estimate of the posteriors with reasonable computational cost. Through this comparison, we investigate how to avoid some practical issues with accuracy and computational cost, for example by selecting an optimal proposal distribution and introducing a resampling step within the sequential Monte-Carlo method. Within the implementation of the ABC methods we investigate using an adaptive tolerance schedule to maximise the efficiency of the algorithm and in order to reduce the computational cost.
title: Exploiting iterative and bidirectional strategies for the rapid synthesis of the A-F fragment of ciguatoxin CTX3C
Creators: name: Alexander, Samuel David
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: ciguatoxin, Tsuji-Trost, RCM, allylation, metathesis.

description: Ciguatoxin CTX3C and its congeners are marine polycyclic ethers with potent biological activities. Ciguatoxins all possess a trans/syn/trans fused polycyclic ether structure. They are produced mainly by the dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus toxicus, and can be transferred up the food chain, to a variety of tropical and subtropical fish, most notably the moray eel. Ciguatoxins are the principal cause of ciguatera seafood poisoning, a debilitating illness that has been reported to last for decades in some cases. The first chapter of this thesis provides an introduction to marine polycyclic ethers, exploring their origins, biosynthesis, toxicology and therapy. Prior syntheses of members of the ciguatoxin family by Sasaki, Hirama, Isobe, Kadota and Fujiwara are reviewed, with focus on the synthesis of the western fragment employed by each group. The methodology and bidirectional strategies developed by the Clark group are also reviewed. The second chapter of the thesis concerns the construction of the A-F fragment of CTX3C. The general synthesis strategy exploits the pseudosymmetry which the ciguatoxins possess. This pseudosymmetric approach allows rapid access to the A-F fragment through a bidirectional RCM reaction and also iterative use of the Tsuji-Trost allylation reaction to provide an elegant approach to building C-C bonds.

description: Recently, some bulk reaction media were substituted by micellar systems. Micellar media can be created by different types of surfactants which generate micellar nanoreactors for diverse reactions. Ionic surfactants can be used as aqueous micellar systems, providing mild conditions for the specified reactions. Ionic surfactants: sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium decyl sulfate (SDeS), sodium octyl sulfate (SOS), n-dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide were used to prepare aqueous micellar and entrapped peroxidase nanoreactors as biocatalysts. Oxidative coupling reactions were investigated for a series of phenolic hydrogen donors including 2-tert-butyl phenol, 4-tert-butyl phenol, and 2,4-tert-butyl phenol catalyzed by micellar nanoreactors of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with hydrogen peroxide and/or tert-butyl peroxide as oxidants. Higher oxidation reaction rates were obtained for 2-tert-butylphenol and 4-tert-butylphenol with hydrogen peroxide in 90 mM SDeS (SDeS90) and 150 mM SOS (SOS150) nanoreactors, respectively. Among the micellar nanoreactors studied, the SDeS90 nanoreactor showed excellent protection of the enzyme against the peroxide inactivation effect. The long-term activity of the HRP/SDeS90 nanobiocatalyst was related to the gradual diffusion of peroxide into the nanoreactor. The biocatalytic kinetic parameters: Vmax, kcat, catalytic efficiency, and suicide-peroxide inactivation rate constants were determined for HRP/SDeS90. Reactions were carried out successfully under mild conditions in the micellar nanoreactors. Results confirmed that substituted functional groups on the benzene ring affect the oxidative reaction routes and products. Excellent protection of the enzyme, enhanced biocatalytic parameters, higher selectivity, and yield, in the peroxidative coupling of alkylphenols, reveal the high potential of such micellar nanoreactors for diverse organic synthesis and biotransformation.

title: Analysis of spatially correlated functional data objects
Creators: name: Alghamdi, Salihah Safar
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019

description: Space-time data are of great interest in many fields of research, but they are inherently complex in nature which leads to practical issues when formulating statistical models to analyse them. In classical analysis of space-time data the temporal variation is modelled using traditional time-series analysis. This thesis focuses on build- ing a comprehensive framework for analysing space-time data, where the temporal component is considered to be a continuous function and modelled using functional data analytic tools. There are several approaches for analysis spatially correlated functional data, but most of them are designed for specific applications and there is no easy way of comparing these methods. In summary, the challenge in modelling space-time data using functional data analytic techniques is that there is no clear rule regarding which method is most appropriate for analysing a new dataset. Existing methods have been developed for specific applications without giving a clear indication for a practitioner regarding their appropriateness. This motivates us to propose a clear flow chart of the analysis of space-time data using functional data analysis methods and develop a framework under which different existing methods can be compared. In this research, we provide a clear comparison between two widely different methods of modelling spatial dependence one using parametric and the other using non-parametric spatial dependence. These techniques were developed for datasets with different complexities. First, we had to generalise the methodologies and codes of both of these methods to analyse data with features they were not originally designed for. We then compared the performance of these two methods on two real life datasets, the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) data and the electroencephalography (EEG) data. Further we have generalised our framework to accommodate replicated data and used it to build classification tools that outperforms all existing approaches. One major contribution of this thesis is the development of the methodological framework and computational tool for the analysis of spatially correlated functional data. We have also clearly demonstrated, theoretically, and through simulations that our approach outperforms existing methods. Finally, for the EEG data we have demonstrated that classification tools built on representations from our models can outperform classification tools using the raw data.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

title: A Rancièrian consideration of the formal and informal learning and knowledge of grassroots community activists
Creators: name: Goodey, Carol Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Jacques Rancière, community activism, informal learning, grounded theory, education.

description: As inequality grows, with the gap between rich and poor widening, education is regularly proposed as a way to tackle this disparity and to offer people a way out of poverty. The more educated people are, the wealthier and happier they are expected to be. Education policies and practice aim to improve people and their lives in order to improve society, business and the economy. Societal problems tend to be seen as learning problems which individuals are expected to solve through their own learning. If individuals do not take action to gain qualifications, the disadvantages they face are considered justifiable. With the emphasis on formal education and qualifications, what we learn informally is not recognised and valued and nor, it seems, are the people who have learned most of what they know informally. This research explored the value of informal learning, alongside formal learning, in a context in which people work towards a particular goal. Community activism was identified as a suitable context. Using a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach, nine community activists from around Scotland were interviewed. This methodology, along with the work of Michel Foucault and Jacques Rancière, facilitated an investigation of the topic by encouraging an openness to what participants said in the interviews and also how they said it. Three research questions guided the generation and analysis of the data. These considered how people positioned themselves in relation to learning and knowledge, what they learned and the role of both formal and informal learning in bringing about change in communities. While it is not unusual to find Foucault employed in such research, it is less common for Rancière to provide an analytical lens. Doing so here has proved very productive in highlighting the need to perceive people, education and equality differently. If we are to solve the problem of inequality through education, we need to be able to see that problem differently. The problem is often presented as a gap in attainment. Using Rancière, we can conceive instead of a dividing line. On one side of the line is that which can be counted as knowledge and those who are considered to know and think. On the other, there is nonsense and those who do not know or think – those who are excluded and whose knowledge is discounted. While policy reform after policy reform has not succeeded in reducing the gap, work which seeks to breach the dividing line might have more success in working towards a more equal world. The examples from the participants in this study indicate how this might be achieved through claiming the right to speak and be heard.

title: Dynamics of hydrofracturing and microseismic signals in porous versus tight rocks
Creators: name: Aleksans, Janis
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Hydrofracturing, microseismicity, descrete element modelling, Young's modulus.

description: This work discusses the dynamic development of hydraulic fractures, their evolution and the resulting seismicity during fluid injection in a coupled numerical model. The model describes coupling between a solid that can fracture dynamically and a compressible fluid that can push back at the rock and open fractures. With a series of numerical simulations it is shown how the fracture pattern and seismicity change depending on changes in depth, injection rate, Young’s modulus and breaking strength. Simulations indicate that the Young’s modulus has the largest influence on the fracture dynamics and also the related seismicity. Simulations of rocks with a Young’s modulus smaller than 10 GPa show dominant mode I failure and a growth of fracture aperture with a decrease in Young’s modulus. Simulations of rocks with a Young’s modulus higher than 10 GPa show fractures with a constant aperture and fracture growth that is mainly governed by a growth in crack length and an increasing amount of mode II failure. This change in fracture geometry evolution has an effect on the observed seismicity. Rocks with a Young’s modulus of 10 GPa have the smallest moment magnitude while both decrease and increase of Young’s modulus value contribute to a growth of the seismic moment magnitude. The signal is further altered by non-linear change in dip and tensile angle depending on the Young’s modulus value. It is proposed that two distinct failure regimes are observed in the simulations. Below 10 GPa a fracture propagates through growth in aperture, this causes the fracture tip to be under constant extension. For rocks above 10 GPa, the aperture is small and the fracture is under compression. In this case fracture growth is driven by stress intensification at the crack tip, which causes fracture opening to have greater proportion of mode II compared to mode I. To suppliment the observations made from numerical simulations, laboratory experiments with air injection into vertically orientated Hele-Shaw cell were carried out. Strain analysis of the recorded experiments showed stress regimes that are very similar to the ones observed during numerical simulations with soft rocks. In both cases negative strain fields could be observed in front of the fracture tip. This indicates that fracture propagation for soft materials is driven by tensile failure and walls being pushed apart. Further analysis on fracture propagation mechanisms and solid media response were carried out. These results are applicable to the prediction of fracture dynamics and seismicity during fluid injection, especially since we see a transition from one failure regime to another at around 10 GPa, a Young’s modulus that lies in the middle of possible values for natural shale rocks.

title: Social workers experiences of supporting children exposed to alcohol in utero: an interpretive phenomenological analysis
Creators: name: Gordon, Louise
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, neurodevelopment, disability, FASD, social work, social workers, adoption, fostering, foster care, alcohol, post natal, pregnancy.

description: Background: Children with a diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder are a vulnerable population, particularly within Social Services. With regards to adopting these children, there is evidence that children diagnosed with a disability can be more challenging to place due to adopter preferences. Aims: The study aims to understand and explore Social Workers experiences of supporting children with a (suspected) diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder within Adoption Social Services. Method: Using semi-structured interviews, five Social Workers were recruited from Adoption Social Services in the West of Scotland. Each interview was transcribed verbatim and data analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results: There were four superordinate themes identified from the analysis: lack of knowledge and awareness, dealing with uncertainty, impact of the diagnosis and vulnerability. Three separate experiences of the adoption process were identified: the Social Workers experiences and the perceived experiences of the adoptive parents and the child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Conclusion: The attitudes, experiences and decisions of the Social Worker affect the adoptive parent’s journeys, and ultimately the future of the child. The findings are important because they demonstrate the need to focus on the child’s diagnostic journey across both Health and Social Care settings to ensure consistency in the support offered to them, in line with the Scottish initiative of Health and Social Care Partnership. What this study adds: The findings highlight the potential negative attitudes, lack of understanding and stigma attached to the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, placing these vulnerable children at a further disadvantage.

description: Children with intellectual disability (ID) often have complex clinical needs which puts them at high risk for behaviours such as self-injury, aggression, and destructive behaviour. Causes of these behaviours include pain and discomfort, anxiety, sleep problems, difficulty regulating emotions, sensitivity to sensory information, communication and learning, and parental wellbeing. At present, there is no established tool that ensures each of the common causes of behaviour are considered and reviewed regularly in children with moderate-profound ID and complex needs. We have therefore developed a checklist that parents/carers and clinicians can complete, which can be used to guide carers and professionals to consider whether additional support is required. The checklist can then be used over time to monitor causes and their ongoing impact.

In this research project, we will conduct a feasibility study to test the checklist’s acceptability and feasibility. We will recruit special school paediatric staff and parents/carers of 50 children aged between 5 and 14 to participate in the study via two special schools. Inclusion criteria for parents/carers include a) having a child with a diagnosis of moderate-profound ID, and b) having a child who has displayed self-injurious, aggressive or destructive behaviour within the previous two weeks, as reported by special school staff, c) willingness to participate in the study. Parents/carers will complete the checklist along with nine other measures that assess various factors including severity of the disability, sleep, pain/discomfort, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, communication/learning, and parental wellbeing. Two weeks later, parents/carers will complete the checklist for a second time, along with a feasibility questionnaire. A second group of parents will complete the same measures. They will also bring the completed checklist along to a routine clinic appointment with a special school paediatrician. After the appointment, the parent/carer and the special school paediatrician will complete a feasibility questionnaire.

Semi-structured interviews will take place with a subgroup of 10 parents/carers and four special school paediatric clinical staff. The subgroup will be invited to complete semi-structured interviews to explore acceptability and feasibility. The psychometric properties of the Checklist to be explored in the proposed project are convergent validity and test-retest reliability. Analysis of the data collected to explore feasibility will be descriptive. We will use Framework analysis to analyse the data generated from our semi-structured interviews with parents/carers and special school paediatric clinical staff with a focus on the seven component constructs of the theoretical framework of acceptability.
title: Exploring the parameters of peculiar velocity fields

Subjects: subject: Cosmology, galaxies, data analysis, dark matter, redshift surveys, peculiar velocities, luminosity functions, ROBUST method, χ2 minimisation, linear redshift distortion parameter, relative entropy.

description: The main focus of this work is to make use of a novel tool in the cosmologist's toolbox when it comes to constraining the parameters of the peculiar velocity fields of the nearby Universe called ROBUST, whose unique properties and lack of reliance on secondary distance indicators sets it apart from other available constraining techniques, rendering it potentially very useful for future upcoming surveys such as the LSST and the SKA. While ROBUST proves itself more than adequate in constraining parameters in a mock controlled environment with the IRAS PSCz survey, it begins to struggle when applied to the real-world 2MRS survey, primarily due to an inherent fault in the survey that causes it to not function properly with the program. These problems persist even when we begin to make use of one of the ancillary tools developed in conjunction with ROBUST, namely relative entropy, despite it once again continuing to function adequately across multiple mock realisations. It is the conclusion of this work that while ROBUST is not successful in recovering values for the cosmological parameters we seek to constrain, this does not necessarily negate its viability for use with upcoming surveys, as it has proven itself successful in determining exclusion intervals on the value of the linear redshift distortion parameter β for real world surveys that are in very good agreement with the generally small values computed by contemporary velocity-velocity constraining techniques such as VELMOD and χ2 minimisation, while also confidently ruling out the results of older density-density constraining techniques such as POTENT that favour values closer to unity.
