Brauer's 14th Problem and Dyson's Tenfold Way Open
We consider Brauer's 14th Problem in the context of "Real" structures on finite groups and their antilinear representations. The problem is to count the number of characters of each different type using "group theory". While Brauer's origi…

Remote sensing of quality traits in cereal and arable production systems: A review Open
Cereal is an essential source of calories and protein for the global population. Accurately predicting cereal quality before harvest is highly desirable in order to optimise management for farmers, grading harvest and categorised storage f…

Defining Real Numbers as Oracles Open
A real number is a rule that, when provided with a rational interval, answers Yes or No depending on if the real number ought to be considered to be in the given interval. Since the goal is to define the real numbers, this can only motivat…

Diversified crop rotations and organic amendments as strategies for increasing soil carbon storage and stabilisation in UK arable systems Open
Adaptations in crop rotation with the inclusion of temporary grass-clover leys and organic amendments, have been promoted as effective ways to improve soil carbon (C) sequestration and mitigate climate change in agricultural systems. Howev…

Predicting Long-Term Effects of Alternative Management Practices in Conventional and Organic Agricultural Systems on Soil Carbon Stocks Using the DayCent Model Open
Recently, many countries have introduced policies that promote sustainable agricultural practices, such as reducing synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and promoting diversified crop rotation. While such management changes might represent an opp…

Tadpole fingerprinting: Using tail venation patterns to photo‐identify tadpole individuals of a threatened frog Open
Traditional methods for identifying individual amphibians in capture–mark–recapture (CMR) studies have been primarily confined to post‐metamorphic stages, using artificial markers that come with a variety of limitations. An alternative tha…

The Palawa (Tasmanian aboriginal) languages : a preliminary discussion Open
This thesis provides a preliminary discussion of the Palawa ('Tasmanian Aboriginal') languages. Tasmania as an island has been physically separated from the Australian mainland for over ten millennia, and as one might expect one consequenc…

Application of Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) to the Regional Characterisation of Vineyard Blocks Using Remote Sensing Time Series Open
Monitoring wine-growing regions and maximising the value of production based on their region/local specificities requires accurate spatial and temporal monitoring. The increasing amount and variability of information from remote sensing da…

Evaluation of the distribution of spray deposits within a vine canopy from measurements on artificial targets and real leaves Open
Understanding the distribution of intercepted spray deposits is important for the study of the dose-response relationship of spraying a targeted pathogen and for the optimisation of the spraying process. However, carrying out exhaustive me…

Local influence of climate on grapevine: an analytical process involving a functional and Bayesian exploration of farm data time series synchronised with an eGDD thermal index Open
Climate influence on grapevine physiology is prevalent and this influence is expected to increase with climate change. Climate influence on grapevine physiology can vary depending on the terroir. A better understanding of these local terro…
