Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Polymersomes are nano polymeric structures that have gained tremendous interest since they can be used as versatile carriers in biomedical applications. This thesis aims to synthesise triblock methacrylate copolymers with different chemistry and composition, to investigate the composition effect on the properties of fabricated polymersomes. Specifically, three different families of amphiphilic block copolymers have been successfully synthesised via Group Transfer Polymerisation, and the corresponding polymersomes have been formed by self-assembly of the copolymers and the properties of polymersomes have been investigated. i) In the first study, five triblock copolymers with different compositions have been synthesised using hydrophilic monomer tri(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (TEGMA) and hydrophobic, pH-responsive monomer 2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA); ii) In the second study, six triblock copolymers with different compositions have been synthesised, the hydrophilic blocks are formed by monomer tri(ethylene glycol)ethyl ether methacrylate (TEGEMA) and hydrophobic blocks are statistically formed by monomer 2-(diethylamino ethyl methacrylate) (DEAEMA) and n-butyl methacrylate (BuMA). iii) In the third study, six triblock copolymers with different compositions have been synthesised, hydrophilic blocks have been synthesised from monomer penta(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), hydrophobic blocks have been synthesised using 2-(diethylamino ethyl methacrylate) (DEAEMA) and n-butyl methacrylate (BuMA), the two hydrophobic monomers have been mixed statistically. In conclusion, the composition of the block copolymers is proven to affect the properties of polymersomes, in: i) thermoresponsiveness; ii) pH-responsiveness; iii) size; iii) membrane thickness; iv) encapsulation efficiency and release of molecules.

Scirtothrips longipennis

description: Scirtothrips longipennis (Bagnall)
[Fig. 14]
Euthrips longipennis Bagnall, 1909: 173 ­174.
Described from specimens taken in a greenhouse in Brussels, this species was at one time reported to be a widespread minor pest under glass, apparently associated with begonia plants. Despite this, very few specimens are available in museum collections, and only two females have been seen from Australia. The descriptive notes and illustrations given here are from one of these, a female taken recently on Lord Howe Island. The male is unknown.
Female macroptera. Colour: Yellow, anterior margin of head light brown; antecostal ridges dark on tergites III­VIII and on sternites V­VII; forewings strongly shaded in basal half but paler toward apex; antennal segment I pale, III – VIII dark.
Structure: Vertex with transversely anastomosing striae, ocellar region transversely striate; ocellar setae pair III further apart than their length, rising near margins of ocellar triangle; two pairs of post­ocular setae longer than ocellar setae III. Pronotum with transverse striae wavy and widely separated; 2 anteromarginal setae, 8 discal setae; 4 pairs of posteromarginal setae, S2 slightly longer than width of antennal segment II. Metanotum weakly longitudinally reticulate, median setae close to margin. Forewing scale with 3 marginal setae; first vein setae 3+2+1+1+1; second vein 2 setae; posteromarginal fringe cilia undulating except near apex. Tergite I without discal setae, III­V median setae longer than distance between bases; tergal microtrichial fields with 3 discal setae; VIII with no discal microtrichia medially, posteromarginal comb complete; tergite IX with discal microtrichia on posterior half. Sternites with microtrichial fields extending almost to S2.

First-principles simulation of charge injection at metal/polymer interfaces
Creators: name: Wang, Yiyuan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: High voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission is the preferred technology over al- ternating current (AC) transmission in many applications nowadays. In HVDC components, polymers are usually used as insulation material and, in practice, they experience performance issues such as leakage current, dielectric degradation and dielectric breakdown. These problems are closely related to charge injection from the metal electrodes into the polymer. Charge injection at metal/polymer interfaces can be influenced by the structure and chemical compositions of both metal and polymer at the interface, and developing a microscopic understanding of how these factors influence the charge injection process is essential to finding solutions for suppressing charge injection and improving polymer performance in HVDC applications. Using density-functional theory (DFT) simulations, I have studied how the introduction of chemical polar groups at chain terminals of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) oligomers at Al/PE and Al/PP interfaces influences charge injection barriers in these systems, and the effect of thermal disorder of these interfaces with different chemistries (modelled using ab initio molecular dynamics at 373 K). Furthermore, I have studied how the charge injection barriers change with the surface density of chemical groups at these interfaces. First, I have found that the mean injection barrier of a large ensemble of different interface configurations at 373 K varies by up to 1.1 eV for Al/PE and 0.6 eV for Al/PP interfaces with different chemical groups I considered. Second, for both systems, there is a broadly universal linear relationship, which is independent of chemical composition, between the calculated charge injection barrier and the surface dipole moment density of chemical groups at the interfaces. Finally, this relationship also holds for chemical groups with different surface densities. Besides, I have found an approach for improving the numerical accuracy of work function and electron affinity with plane-wave pseudopotential DFT calculations.
MBE growth of GaAs and InAs on GaAs(001) patterned substrates
Creators: name: Chandrinou, Chryssoula
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The growth of ridge structures on GaAs(OOl) patterned substrates has been investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. These techniques provide morphological and topographical information from which the kinetic processes of the adatom diffusion can be postulated. The research is split into two main sections. The first concerns the growth of GaAs on GaAs (001) patterned substrates, involving variation of substrate temperature, the effective V/III ratio and deposition quantity. The effects of changing these growth parameters on the evolving facet morphology are investigated and direct comparison is made between growth on mesas with vertical and non-vertical sidewalls. In all cases {110} facets were formed and the degree of overgrowth of the ridge bases was found to be dependant on the growth conditions. The second area concentrates on the growth of In As on GaAs(OOl) patterned substrates with vertical sidewalls. Here, the effect of differing growth conditions and initial mesa stripe width was studied, in particular with respect to the formation of quantum dots. Specific emphasis was placed on the alteration of the quantum dot number density and the implications in terms of the In adatom diffusion processes. It was observed that dot density and size varied considerably with respect to the initial mesa widths and the different growth conditions used. For all investigations the dot sizes were larger and the dot densities lower that those reported for InAs/GaAs growth on planar GaAs(OOl) substrates.
Vegetarianism as a Mirror of Human Morality in the Speculative Worlds of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine (1895) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland (1915)
Creators: name: Engberg, Isabella Maria
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2023

description: By following the narrators travelling to the two fictive societies of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine (1895) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland (1915), this paper considers how vegetarianism was perceived by socialist and feminist authors in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During this time, fearful concerns about humanity’s future prevailed in human thought: the rapid increase in world population sparked fear of competition, starvation, and a decline in hygiene standards, while the relatively new theory of evolution suggested a closer-than-comfortable, even familial relationship to the rest of the material world. Assisted by ecofeminist critique, the paper then discusses how vegetarians have been presented by the two authors. It suggests that food reform serves as a device of defamiliarisation, prompting the ‘old world’ travellers to question and critique the society from which they depart as well as their own individual viewpoints.

Experimental Studies of Pulsatile Flow Passing Side Wall Biological Cavities and Flow Enhancement Using Hydrophobic Surfaces
Creators: name: Eichholz, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Understanding the hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system and associated diseases is important for mitigating health risks. We applied flow diagnostic techniques to investigate pulsatile flow characteristics past sidewall cavities, which have implications to two biomedical problems in the cardiovascular system: sidewall aneurysms and the left atrial appendage. Superhydrophobically-coated mesh diverters and synthetic slippery surfaces were studied for their effects on flow diversion and cavity flow enhancements. The study of pulsatile flow over a coated mesh diverter showed that the formation of the primary vortex was prevented which prevents flow stagnation and downwash flow in the cavity. The second study indicates that the healthy heart cycle is essential to reducing flow stasis inside the left atrial appendage. After applying a synthetic slippery surface to the interior of a side wall cavity model, this surface reduced the wall shear stress and allowed vortical flow to reach deeper into the cavity.

title: Mapping media frames in international news
Creators: name: Höltge, Karoline
Year: 2018

description: In den vergangenen Jahren hat die kommunikationswissenschaftliche Forschung unzählige Studien mit dem Fokus auf internationaler Berichterstattung hervorgebracht. Ungeachtet der Fülle an Untersuchungen zu diesem Thema ist verhältnismäßig wenig über das Auftreten und die Beschaffenheit solcher Nachrichten in chinesischen Printmedien bekannt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Darstellung chinesisch-deutscher Beziehungen in chinesischen Nachrichten. Mittels hierarchischer Clusteranalyse wurden 400 Artikel untersucht, welche die offizielle chinesische Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua General News Service zwischen 2007 und 2016 veröffentlichte. Das übergeordnete Ziel bestand darin, die zugrunde liegenden medialen Frames der entsprechenden Nachrichtenartikel zu extrahieren und zu analysieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie stehen im Kontrast zum bisherigen Forschungskonsens, welcher überwiegend die negative Ausrichtung internationaler Berichterstattung diverser Länder über internationale Ereignisse oder andere Länder hervorhob. Im Gegensatz hierzu zeigten die untersuchten chinesischen Nachrichten der vorliegenden Untersuchung keinerlei Konfliktorientierung gegenüber Deutschland oder chinesisch-deutschen Beziehungen. Mögliche Erklärungen hierfür werden im Hinblick auf die Unterschiede zwischen dem chinesischen und dem deutschen Mediensystem diskutiert und davon ausgehend Hinweise für zukünftige Forschungsprojekte gegeben. Insgesamt gibt die vorliegende Studie einen Einblick in die spezifische Rolle, welche die heutige Nachrichtenberichterstattung in Bezug auf geo-politische und geo-ökonomische Transformationsprozesse chinesisch-deutscher Beziehungen hat.
description: In recent years, communication research has produced numerous studies on international news coverage. However, comparatively little is known about Chinese print media’s performance. The present study evaluates the depiction of Sino-German relations in Chinese news. A total of 400 articles, which were published between 2007 and 2016 by China’s official press agency Xinhua General News Service, were analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis to detect the underlying media frames. Findings are not in support of past research, which emphasized the negative alignment of international news coverage. Specifically, Chinese news does not reflect a conflict orientation towards Germany or Sino-German relations. Potential explanations are discussed in relation to the differences between the Chinese and German media systems and implications for future research are highlighted. This study provides insight into the specific role of news media coverage in shaping current geo-political and geo-economic transformations, with regard to Sino-German relations.

title: Realistische Schönheitsideale auf Instagram?
Creators: name: Gornikowska, Agnieszka
Year: 2018

description: Instagram ist eines der beliebtesten sozialen Netzwerke. Das Teilen von Inhalten in Form von Fotos, Texten und Videos eröffnet Möglichkeiten der Selbstdarstellung. Klassische Massenmedien geben nicht mehr alleine die Vorbilder und Schönheitsideale vor. Dank der neuen Medien kann unabhängig davon jeder seine Inhalte teilen und wird zum Kommunikator. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Selbstdarstellung von Fitness-Instagramern untersucht. Es wird auf das Thema Fitness, Schönheit und Selbstdarstellung eingegangen. Eine Inhaltsanalyse und eine Bildinhaltsanalyse wurden anhand von 50 Instagram-Profilen durchgeführt. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es zu untersuchen ob Instagram realistischere bzw. gesündere Vorbilder zeigt als klassische Massenmedien. Die Ergebnisse zeigen erfreulicherweise, dass die Zahl der untergewichtigen Fitness-Instagramer recht niedrig ist. Fast alle abgebildeten Frauen auf den untersuchten Fotografien waren normalgewichtig. Medieninduzierte Nachahmungsphänomene basieren auf Beobachtung von Handlungen. Normalgewichtige Personen können so dank Instagram positive und gesunde Vorbilder darstellen. Für die sozialen Vergleichsprozesse sind diese Personen besser geeignet als Frauen aus den klassischen Massenmedien und können so zu einem positiven Selbstbild führen. Entgegen der Annahmen, dass Schönheit ein vorherrschendes Thema ist, konnte festgestellt werden, dass sie keinen so großen Platz einnimmt wie beispielsweise in Print-Medien. Personen werden durch Medien geprimt, dies trifft bei Fitness-Instagramern bei Sport zu. Trotz der Tatsache, dass die Personen ein gesundes Körpergewicht haben und in der Hinsicht ein positives Vorbild darstellen, möchten sie eine perfekte Illusion über ihr Leben erschaffen und erlauben keine Makel auf den veröffentlichten Fotos. Ein hoher Teil der Beiträge wurde mit einer kommerziellen Intention gepostet, woraus man den einzigen Fokus, den Sport, ausschließen kann.

description: Pilze haben die Menschen schon immer beschäftigt, doch die Gründe dafür sind vielfältig: kulturelle und religiöse lassen sich ebenso finden wie kulinarische, medizinische und drogenbezogene, weshalb sich innerhalb der Mykologie ein eigenes Forschungsfeld herausbildete, dass die unterschiedlichen Aspekte der Mensch-Pilz-Beziehung untersucht. Es handelt sich dabei um die Ethnomykologie. In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird das Pilzwissen der Bevölkerung aus den burgenländischen Bezirken Oberwart und Güssing untersucht, das mithilfe eines Fragebogens zusammengetragen wurde. Den Ergebnissen zur Folge, ist die Bevölkerung der burgenländischen Bezirke Oberwart und Güssing als mykophil einzustufen: Es sind insgesamt 85 verschiedene Speisepilze genannt worden, am häufigsten darunter Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius und Macrolepiota procera. Von den 39 genannten Giftpilzen waren Amanita muscaria, Amanita spp. und Amanita pantherina unter den „Top 3“. Des Weiteren konnte festgestellt werden, dass bei den ProbandInnen der höchsten Alterskategorie (50 bis 100 Jahre) das umfangreichste Wissen über Pilze vorhanden ist. Die wichtigste Wissensquelle sind in allen Alterskategorien hindurch Familienangehörige. Außerdem wurde herausgefunden, dass die TeilnehmerInnen, nach der Atomkatastrophe von Tschernobyl, durchschnittlich drei Jahre lang auf das Sammeln von Pilzen verzichtet haben.

Forewing scale with 3­4 marginal setae; first vein setae 3­4+6­7+1+1+0­1+0­1; second vein with 1 seta; posteromarginal fringe cilia straight. Tergites III­V median setae small and widely spaced, distance between bases at least 3.5 times the length of these setae; tergal microtrichial fields with 3 discal setae; VIII with no discal microtrichia, posteromarginal comb complete; tergite IX with no discal microtrichia. Sternites with lateral microtrichial fields weak, extending mesad of S3 marginal setae, apparently absent on sternite VII.
Measurements of holotype female. Body length 1150. Head, length 100; width 200; p.o. S1 20. Pronotum, length 75; width 180; posteromarginal setae S1 13, S2 25. Forewing length 750. Antennal segments III – VI, 42, 40, 40, 50.
Holotype Female. Western Australia, 10km west of Wave Rock, near Hyden, from Allocasuarina sp. [Casuarinaceae], 4.x.1995 (LAM 2896). Paratypes: 4 females collected with holotype; Western Australia, Kalbari, 1 female on Acacia sp. branches, 4.x.1995 (LAM 3797).
Comments. Only one other member of this genus is known with seven segmented antennae. That is S. casuarinae, a species that was also taken on the foliage of a young specimen of the Casuarinaceae. Allocasuarina and Casuarina species are similar xerophytic plants with highly modified “drooping” foliage. This thrips was associated with the young foliage of a small shrubby species.

Labiothrips tenor Bhatti & Mound, 1994: 163.
This species was described from specimens collected in a water trap at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, but has been found commonly in the Northern Territory around Darwin and on Bathurst Island breeding on the young flush leaves of Cycas armstrongi [Cycadaceae] as well as on cultivated specimens of Cycas revoluta at Darwin and at Burpengary in Queensland. Although described as the type species of the monotypic genus Labiothrips, the species fits within the pattern of variation of Australian Scirtothrips discussed here. The mouth cone is unusually elongate, and in life it is directed posteriorly rather than ventrally as in other Scirtothrips species. However, its length is no greater than that of S. drepanofortis described above, nor of S. muscoaffinis Johansen and Mojica described from Mexico, and it is not a great deal longer than found in S. litotes and S. pilbara described above. Presumably associated in some way with the orientation of the mouth cone, the vertex of the females of S. tenor is exceptionally short, with the posterior margin of the head almost confluent with the posterior margin of the eyes. However, in males the length of the vertex is at least equal to the width of one ommatidium. The pronotum has four pairs of posteromarginal setae, none longer than 15 microns, but several of the new species described here have similar short setae. However, the striae on the head and pronotum are weaker than on typical Scirtothrips species, and the postocular region of the head in females is exceptionally short. As in S. moneres, the microtrichia are reduced on the anterior lines of sculpture on each tergite, and the sternal microtrichial fields are much reduced scarcely extending mesad of setae S3. The number of sternal posteromarginal setae is not constant, several specimens having been examined with four instead of three setae on more than one sternite. The males have a pair of curved drepanae on the ninth tergite, but the aedeagus does not have an array of spines. The second instar larvae have broadly capitate setae on the pronotum (Fig. 62).

description: In meiner Masterarbeit möchte ich mich im Kontext der - im Jahre 1889 n. Chr. von Mirzā Ġulām Aḥmad in der indischen Provinz Punjab aus dem sunnitischen Islam heraus gestifteten - messianisch-neureligiösen Reformbewegung der Aḥmadiyyah-Muslim-Gemeinschaft im Allgemeinen mit ihrer aufgestellten Christologie bzw. mit ihrer exegetischen Betrachtung und Darstellung des Lebens und Wirkens von Jesus von Nazareth näher auseinandersetzen. Im Spezifischen geht es mir bei meinen Hauptforschungsfragen um die Aḥmadiyyah-Interpretation des ausschlaggebenden, in allen vier Evangelien des Neuen Testaments beschriebenen, Ereignisses der Kreuzigung Jesu Christi auf Golgatha in Jerusalem (1) und in weiterer Folge auch um die, innerhalb der abrahamitischen Religionen völlig eigenständigen, Auffassungen der Aḥmadiyyah-Muslim-Gemeinschaft bezüglich des Endes des irdischen Lebens von Jesus (2). Die Auswertung meines oben genannten Forschungsvorhabens erfolgt hauptsächlich auf Grundlage der Analyse der deutschsprachigen Missionsliteratur der Aḥmadiyyah-Muslim-Gemeinschaft, welche mir überwiegend im Aḥmadiyyah-Verlagshaus „Verlag Der Islam“ zur Verfügung steht.

description: The women's clothing industry is composed of a multitude of small firms producing a multiplicity of styles to meet every price line, style range, and fashion demand. It is an exceedingly easy business to enter, capital requirements being astonishingly small. The manufacturer can either equip his own plant with cutting, sewing, pressing, and finishing machinery, or just perform the styling and selling functions and depend on a contractor to produce the garments.

description: Das Interesse an Produkten mit ethischen Merkmalen im Hinblick auf Fairtrade Produkte hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Faktoren einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Kaufverhalten und die Kauffrequenz von Fairtrade Produkten haben. Die Methodik wurde im Rahmen einer Literaturrecherche erarbeitet. Die untersuchten Effekte beziehen sich auf demographische Faktoren, Wissen, Einstellungen, Werte sowie die wahrgenommene Verbraucherwirksamkeit. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte mithilfe einer Onlinebefragung. Mittels Regressionsanalysen wurde das Kauf- bzw. Nichtkaufverhalten und die darauf wirkenden Faktoren analysiert. Ebenfalls wurden mithilfe dieser Methode Einflussfaktoren auf die Kauffrequenz anhand der Fairtrade Produktsegmente Lebensmittel und Kleidung untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, dass Unterschiede im Wirkungsbereich der untersuchten Effekte sowohl zwischen Kaufverhalten und Kauffrequenz als auch zwischen den Produktsegmenten Lebensmittel und Textilien bestehen.
Theatre : A Cultural Tool for the Propagation of Peace in Africa

description: In many parts of the world, theatre has been used to educate, socialise, indoctrinate and raise consciousness. In contemporary Africa, theatre practitioners have lamented the fragmentation of human life and the erosion of peace as a result of human rights abuses, income inequality, poverty, lack of access to services, crime and wars. The aim of this paper is to examine how African theatre practitioners have used theatre as a cultural tool to create awareness and educate their audiences about the need for peaceful co-existence in their communities. The discussions examine selected plays and applied theatre projects from West and southern Africa. They conclude in the finding that the applied theatre form is more effective than conventional literary theatre in promoting peace education and local development initiatives in Africa.
