Electrochemical and isothermal titration calorimetry studies associated with polymer-micelle complexes and surfactant/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (1994)
Thesis
Mwakibete, H. Electrochemical and isothermal titration calorimetry studies associated with polymer-micelle complexes and surfactant/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The effective degree of micellar dissociation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles has been determined from electrochemical (EMF) measurements using a CTAB selective electrode. Thermodynamic parameters have been determined using the...

From English to formal specifications (1994)
Thesis
Meziane, F. From English to formal specifications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Specifications provide the foundation upon which a system can be formally developed. If a specification is wrong, then no matter what method of design is used, or what quality assurance procedures are in place, they will not result in a system that...

Performance and efficiency measurement in local authority building organisations (1994)
Thesis
Ruddock, L. Performance and efficiency measurement in local authority building organisations. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work constitutes a study of the operations of local authority building direct labour organisations (DLOs) during the 1980s, An overt aim of Part III of the 1980 Local Government, Planning and Land Act was to improve efficiency in the operat...

The implications of public participation in environmental management and development (1994)
Thesis
Youssefi-Khalajabadi, D. The implications of public participation in environmental management and development. (Thesis). University of Salford

Many global problems in society relate to issues of environment and development. This research explores different connotations of environmental management and development. Development models for Third World countries are found to be most effectiv... Read More about The implications of public participation in environmental management and development.

Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications (1994)
Thesis
Ellams, P. Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Conventional 'hard switching' converters suffer from significant switching loss due to the simultaneous imposition of high values of current and voltage on the devices during commutation. Resonant converters offer a solution to this problem. A revi... Read More about Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications.

The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding (1994)
Thesis
Drew, D. The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding. (Thesis). University of Salford

Flanagan and Norman (1982b) examined the bidding performances of three contractors. In developing this study, the aim of this research is to demonstrate through statistical modelling that, in terms of competitiveness, competing contractors are inf...

Management education and training for refurbishment work within the construction industry (1994)
Thesis
Egbu, C. Management education and training for refurbishment work within the construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The study is concerned with the management of refurbishment work within the UK construction industry, from a contractors' perspective. It investigates the main difficulties and problems which managers face in refurbishment work, together with the...

The active control of acoustic impedance (1994)
Thesis
Nicholson, G. The active control of acoustic impedance. (Thesis). University of Salford

The application of an active control force on a thin-walled acoustic boundary can modify the motional dynamics, and so influence the impedance presented to incident waves. This impedance determines transmission of acoustic energy, reflection of ac... Read More about The active control of acoustic impedance.

Contracting-out in a facilities management context : an investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of contracting-out as experienced by user organisations, and the influence such factors exert in determining whether facilities management services are resourced in-house or externally (1994)
Thesis
Owen, D. Contracting-out in a facilities management context : an investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of contracting-out as experienced by user organisations, and the influence such factors exert in determining whether facilities management services are resourced in-house or externally. (Thesis). University of Salford

The field of study for this research project is a recently established and rapidly evolving business concept, Facilities Management (FM). The focal theory for this project concerns the effectiveness of a tactic increasingly adopted by organisati...
