Study of the pharmacological modification of neuroendocrine mechanisms controlling ovulation in the rat. (1982)
Thesis
STEWART, A.W. 1982. Study of the pharmacological modification of neuroendocrine mechanisms controlling ovulation in the rat. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993302

The synthetic steroid, RMI 12,936 (17beta-hydroxy-7alpha-methyl-androst-5-en-3-one) inhibits ovulation in the rat. This study investigated the mechanism of action of the drug. The results showed that administration at or before 01:00h on proestrus bl...

Selected modifications of the auditory feedback system and their effects on speech fluency. (1982)
Thesis
LOW, J.M. 1982. Selected modifications of the auditory feedback system and their effects on speech fluency. University of Aberdeen; Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993308

It has been accepted for some time that we continually monitor our own speech by listening to ourselves; indeed, the absence of this monitoring system is detrimental to our speech performance. In the congenitally deaf, acquiring the skill of speech i... Read More about Selected modifications of the auditory feedback system and their effects on speech fluency..

Theory and design of a hardware stochastic reliability simulator. (1982)
Thesis
MANN, D.P. 1982. Theory and design of a hardware stochastic reliability simulator. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993286

The work described in this thesis is concerned with the design of special purpose digital circuitry to achieve high-speed simulation of system reliability. Initially, an investigation into alternative simulation methods is undertaken. Analytical and... Read More about Theory and design of a hardware stochastic reliability simulator..

Adaptive control of communication networks using learning automata. (1982)
Thesis
CHRYSTALL, M.S. 1982. Adaptive control of communication networks using learning automata. Council for National Academic Rewards (CNAA), PhD thesis.

This research investigates communications network routing procedures, based on distributed learning automata concepts for circuit and packet switched networks. For this application, the learning automaton is shown to be an ideal adaptive control mech... Read More about Adaptive control of communication networks using learning automata..
