This book challenges these mainstream conceptions. Using Greece and the Roma people in particular as a case study, the author examines qualitative and quantitative social mobility findings to explore the changes associated with education and to analyse their importance for individuals and society.

An assessment of the range of risks to the continuation of study for your students, how those risks may differ based on your students’ needs, characteristics and circumstances, and the likelihood that those risks will crystallise BPP University (BPPU) has assessed the range of risks to students’ continuation of study and these are summarised below: 1.1 Closure of BPPU BPPU has no intention of ceasing to operate. The risk that BPPU as a whole is unable to operate is considered very low. This is evidenced by the following: BPPU is financially sustainable and continues to be a going concern as demonstrated by its most recent audited financial statements, dated August 31st 2020; BPPU is cash generative, with a positive cash flow of £5.1m in the year ending 31st August 2020 and a balance at that date of £19.5m; BPPU forms part of the BPP Group (incorporated as BPP Holdings Ltd). Cashflow actuals and forecasts are monitored on a daily basis by the BPP Group’s central treasury function. The focus is on 18-week cash flow forecasts and updates are made to key stakeholders as required. The minimum UK cash position of the Group from Mar20 to Mar21 was £11.5m, which was in March20.

    University of London Imperial College of Science and Technology Department of Management Science GRAPH COLOURING AND RELATED PROBLEMS IN OPERATIONS RESEARCH by SAMUEL MOSES KORMAN , B.Sc., M.Sc. A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Diploma of Imperial College July, 1975. ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the Graph Colouring Problem, and in particular with the development of new algorithmic methods for this problem. Two other problems which are closely involved with the Graph Colouring Problem, viz. the Set Covering and Clique- Generating problems,are also investigated in some detail. Chapter 1 introduces the Graph Colouring Problem. Some basic definitions and known results are given. Two integer programming formulations are detailed, and the use of Set-Covering methods in solving the Graph Colouring Problem is described. In Chapter 2, the Set Colouring Problem is investigated in its own right, and a survey of the main previously known algorithms for this problem is included. A new method for solving the Set Covering Problem is developed, and the chapter concludes with a computational comparison of these algorithms. Chapter 3 is concerned with the generation of the maximal -independent sets of a graph, which are needed for the solution of the Graph Colouring Problem as a Set Covering Problem. Various algorithms for generating these sets are described and compared. - Finally, methods of finding the maximal independent sets of a graph from certain of its related graphs are derived. Chapter 4 develops some theoretical results in the properties of optimal colouring which, in addition to leading to some new algorithms for graph-colouring, are also interesting in their own right.

    IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON UNIVERSITY OF LONDON TOWARDS HIGHER RESOLUTION GUIDED WAVE INSPECTION: SCATTERING STUDIES by Prabhu Rajagopal A thesis submitted to the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mechanical Engineering Imperial College London London SW7 2AZ December 2007 Abstract Abstract This thesis presents work contributing to the development of ultrasonic guided wave NDE inspection systems with improved resolution. Guided waves today are well established in the rapid inspection of large structures. The approach taken so far has been to develop screening tools to maximize coverage; the methods yield precise information about the exact location of defects but only an approximate estimate of the severity of defects. However there are many applications where the areas of concern are not accessible, and reaching them for a secondary accurate inspection may not be possible or involve considerable cost. Therefore there is much interest in improving the resolution of guided wave NDE towards direct defect sizing. Two possible approaches are being considered to achieve this, using either multiple modes at high frequency- thickness or single mode array imaging at low frequencies. The work reported here concerns the understanding of the interaction of guided waves with defects so that an appropriate approach can be selected and implemented. A review of the basics of elastic wave scattering from defects is first presented in order to introduce methods used and effects encountered later in the work. A simple implementation of the high-frequency multimodal approach, in which the input consists of a single fundamental mode while the multiple-mode scattered signal permits separation into component modes, is then considered.

PROGRESSIVE CRUSHING OF GFRP COMPOSITE BOX Frond bending due to delamination between plies makes a considerable contribution to The combination of two distinct crushing modes of transverse shearing, and lamina bending which is called brittle fracture was the specific energy absorption (SEA) of composite box in crushing process. The crack observed for all laminate designs of GFRP composite boxes. propagation at the middle of the side walls of composite box are in Mode-I interlaminar fracture. In this regard the effect of fibre orientation and stacking sequence on the composite crash box design is sought by studying the effect of these on the interlaminar fracture toughness.
