W' Recovery Kinetics during Variable-Pace Exercise: Investigating the Effects of Inherent Variability and Dynamic Changes in the Power-Duration Relationship
(University of Exeter Sports Science, 23 January 2023)The parameters of the power-duration relationship, critical power (CP) and W′ can be used to accurately predict severe-intensity (>CP) exercise performance. Both endurance-based sports such as cycling and team sports involve ... -
Selberg’s Central Limit Theorem for families of L-functions
(University of Exeter Mathematics, 16 January 2023)In this thesis, we present a simple proof of Selberg’s Central Limit Theorem for appropriate families of L-functions. As conjectured by Selberg, his central limit theorem can only be proven for the L-functions belonging ... -
The building blocks of the Martian atmosphere: Quantifying the influence of primary processes present in Mars’ climate
(University of Exeter Physics, 9 January 2023)The objective of this thesis is to present a configuration of the UM simulating the Martian climate and evaluate the impacts of each major climate variable present in the current Martian climate (orography, orbit, pressure ... -
The effect of camouflage on the escape behaviour of common shore crabs
(University of Exeter Biological Sciences, 7 November 2022)For any prey animal, avoiding and fleeing from predators is one of the most important tasks in the key to survival. In order to avoid predation, a prey on detecting the predator must make appropriate decisions on how to ... -
Collective decision-making in the face of intergroup conflict: theory and tests
(University of Exeter Centre for Ecology and Conservation, 14 November 2022)Recently many studies have been published that describe and explain how groups of social animals make collective decisions and coordinate their actions. However, these studies mostly focus on isolated groups, and do not ...
