The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products (2007)
Thesis
Lawson, W. The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The reliability of electronic products is fast becoming of major importance with the demand for increased safety, especially in the automotive industry. Tracks, pads and vias on printed circuit boards can suffer a variety of problems if circuits ar...

Separation and reaction using porous and palladium membranes (2007)
Thesis
Aldeeb, A. Separation and reaction using porous and palladium membranes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Two different types of inorganic membranes were prepared in this study,porous-silica/y-alumina membranes and palladium/a-alumina composite membranes. Porous silica/y-alumina membranes were prepared by dip coating, characterized by gas permeation at... Read More about Separation and reaction using porous and palladium membranes.

An ethnography of metaphor usage in IS projects : from description to domination (2007)
Thesis
Griffiths, M. An ethnography of metaphor usage in IS projects : from description to domination. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This study presents the story of a three-year ethnographical field study, from December 2000 to December 2003, conducted at a North West based Management Consultancy. Throughout this period the organisation experienced accelerated growth from two s... Read More about An ethnography of metaphor usage in IS projects : from description to domination.

Aspects of metamaterial structures : theory and simulation (2007)
Thesis
King, N. Aspects of metamaterial structures : theory and simulation. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The investigations reported here address the issue of overcoming loss in a typical isotropic metamaterial. The possibility of adding functionality to such materials, through gyrotropic effects, and diffraction management of nonlinear beams, driven...

The production of single-walled carbon nanotubes by a CVD method and their characterisation by various techniques (2007)
Thesis
Seifi, M. The production of single-walled carbon nanotubes by a CVD method and their characterisation by various techniques. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In this work, Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) was used to prepared Single- Walled carbon nanorube (SWNT) samples. In developing the production techniques a large number of parameters were varied during the course of work resulting in the succe...

Simulation of blood flow through stenotic and branched arteries (2007)
Thesis
Wishah, M. Simulation of blood flow through stenotic and branched arteries. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Mathematical and physical models have been developed in order to study blood flow through arteries, numerically and experimentally. The aim of these models was to understand, apply and verify using realistic models how both flow and geometry inter... Read More about Simulation of blood flow through stenotic and branched arteries.
