Localisation in computational geomechanics: a nonlinear micropolar approach (2025)
Thesis
O'Hare, T. (2025). Localisation in computational geomechanics: a nonlinear micropolar approach. (Thesis). Durham University. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/4127813

The localisation of strain into narrow bands of intense deformations is a pervasive phenomenon in geomechanics. It is closely associated with catastrophic failure - landslides, slope collapses, rock faulting, etc. - and has significant implications f...

Lower mantle anisotropy due to plume generation from Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (2024)
Thesis
Roy, P. (2024). Lower mantle anisotropy due to plume generation from Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces. (Thesis). University of Potsdam. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/4258504

Seismic anisotropy, characterized by wave propagation that varies with direction, is likely to be observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle, especially at the boundaries of Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). Significant... Read More about Lower mantle anisotropy due to plume generation from Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces.

Towards an Enabling Legal Environment for International Climate Technology Transfer: A Responsibility-Solidarity Perspective (2024)
Thesis
Amakoromo, M. Towards an Enabling Legal Environment for International Climate Technology Transfer: A Responsibility-Solidarity Perspective. (Thesis). University of Dundee. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2875644

Climate technologies are not being spread at the pace and to the locations where they are most needed. This is particularly relevant for the energy sector as seen in the significant energy gap between developed and developing countries. To address th...

Producing knowledge in Sport for Development: Practices of Monitoring & Evaluation (2023)
Thesis
Gaillard, A. Producing knowledge in Sport for Development: Practices of Monitoring & Evaluation. (Thesis). University of Brighton. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2957444

In recent years, the use of sport in international development contexts has been gaining traction because of a rhetoric around the intrinsic benefits of sport. This sector, named Sport for Development, generated debates about the forms in which such... Read More about Producing knowledge in Sport for Development: Practices of Monitoring & Evaluation.

‘Illuminating the past to make the future safer?’ Exploring the potential and peril of domestic homicide reviews as a mechanism for change (2023)
Thesis
Rowlands, J. ‘Illuminating the past to make the future safer?’ Exploring the potential and peril of domestic homicide reviews as a mechanism for change. (Thesis). University of Sussex. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2783225

Since 2011, domestic abuse (DA)-related deaths in England and Wales have been subject to a ‘Domestic Homicide Review’ (DHR). A DHR brings together a range of stakeholders – including representatives from organisations that had contact with a victim,...

Hotels and multi-sided platforms: Coopetition and platform integration (2022)
Thesis
Bahar, V. S. (2022). Hotels and multi-sided platforms: Coopetition and platform integration. (Thesis by Publication). The University of Auckland. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/3347782

This thesis aims to explore how hotels work with multi-sided platforms. Drawing on the relational perspective of resource based theory, this thesis first investigates how hotels simultaneously cooperate and compete (coopetition) with platforms, and s...

Making Drone Violence Strategic: A Conceptual Genealogy of Remote Warfare (2022)
Thesis
Archambault, E. Making Drone Violence Strategic: A Conceptual Genealogy of Remote Warfare. (Thesis). University of Durham. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2292011

This thesis studies the development of the contemporary employment of armed drones within a conceptual genealogy of aerial and remote warfare. While significant attention has been devoted either to the novelty of drone warfare, or to its political, l...

(Dis)uniting the Diversity: The European Banking Union and the Non-Eurozone EU Member States (2021)
Thesis
The European Banking Union and the Non-Eurozone EU Member States. (Thesis). Durham University. https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1647166

The European Banking Union (EBU) has introduced many important features of banking governance and contributed to restoration of confidence in European banking. However, two institutional pillars of the EBU, the Single Supervisory Mechanism and the Si...
