The statistical development of integrated multi-state stopover models
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis focusses on the analysis of ecological capture-recapture data and the estimation of population parameters of interest. Many of the common models applied to such data, for example the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model, ... -
Mathematical modelling of tumour-immune competition tumour growth : discrete and continuum approaches
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisThe ability of the human immune system to detect and remove cancer cells is exploited in the development of immunotherapy techniques. However, further understanding of these mechanisms is required and can be achieved through ... -
Assouad type dimensions and dimension spectra
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisIn the first part of this thesis we introduce a new dimension spectrum motivated by the Assouad dimension; a familiar notion of dimension which, for a given metric space, returns the minimal exponent α ≥ 0 such that for ... -
On the emergence and evolution of jets and vortices in turbulent planetary atmospheres
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-25) - ThesisThis thesis investigates the formation and evolution of jets and vortices in turbulent planetary atmospheres using a dual approach of high-resolution numerical simulations and novel laboratory experiments. A two-layer ... -
Three dimensional MHD simulations of the dynamics and energetics of coronal flux tubes
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-25) - ThesisIn this thesis we present the results of three-dimensional MHD simulations of the evolution of magnetic flux tubes within the solar atmosphere. We consider the dynamics and energetics of coronal loops that are perturbed ...
