Modulating protein-protein interactions : novel inhibitors of PDZ domains and tubulin dynamics (2008)
Thesis
Bennett, E. Modulating protein-protein interactions : novel inhibitors of PDZ domains and tubulin dynamics. (Thesis). University of Salford

Protein-protein interactions are essential for all living systems. The interactions between tubulin dimers is already a broadly studied area, whereas the PDZ domain interactions is a relatively recent area of study. The literature in these areas is...

Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators (2008)
Thesis
Costa, N. Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators. (Thesis). University of Salford

Successful motor rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain/spinal cord injures requires a highly intensive and task-specific therapy-based approach. Currently many patients with these types of pathologies are confined to wheelchairs, which res...

A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface (2008)
Thesis
Gandy, A. A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK/Universite de Poitiers, France

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the damage produced following high temperature (350°C) Xe implantation into (100) Si at fluence (>lx!0 16 Xe ions/cm 2 ) and energy (250keV) which produce a buried amorphous layer...

Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China (2008)
Thesis
Marston, C. Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research investigates the spatial distributions of small mammal species which act as intermediate host vectors for the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, which causes a significant burden of human disease in western China. Small m... Read More about Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China.

Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires (2008)
Thesis
Onyenobi, T. Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires. (Thesis). University of Salford

With the development and use of fire sensitive construction materials and furnishings, and with the growing demand for high-rise development, there is an increasing need for improved fire safety measures. Modern high-rise policies within the UK and... Read More about Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires.

Barriers to successful application of information technology in Botswana (2008)
Thesis
Mogotlhwane, T. Barriers to successful application of information technology in Botswana. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research looked at barriers to successful applications of information and communication technology (ICT) in Botswana. Botswana has high investments in ICT infrastructure development in the public service. However, there is still concern about se...

An information framework for merchant trust in electronic commerce (Business to Consumer Segment) (2008)
Thesis
Kasiran, M. An information framework for merchant trust in electronic commerce (Business to Consumer Segment). (Thesis). University of Salford

The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the information requirements that need to be available on merchants' websites. This information is important to facilitate the establishment of initial trust from potential consumers towards the...

Fluid-structure interaction of metallic and composite plates subjected to dynamic loading (2008)
Thesis
Hampson, P. Fluid-structure interaction of metallic and composite plates subjected to dynamic loading. (Thesis). University of Salford

An important consideration when designing structures from composite materials is their susceptibility to impact damage. Even under relatively low velocity impact, composites are vulnerable to internal damage caused by transverse loads, but unlike m...

Investigation of space charge neutralization effects in high-current positive ion beams (2008)
Thesis
Fiala, J. Investigation of space charge neutralization effects in high-current positive ion beams. (Thesis)

Through the experience gained during the industrial development of low energy implanters, it is commonly believed that improvements in forced space-charge neutralization are responsible for the maintenance of high currents down to an energy of abo...
