Apportioning liability in construction delay claims : an evaluation of contemporary practices in the U.A.E. and a proposal for improvements (2012)
Thesis
Perera, N. Apportioning liability in construction delay claims : an evaluation of contemporary practices in the U.A.E. and a proposal for improvements. (Thesis). University of Salford

Various theories, concepts and methodologies exist for apportioning liabilities in
construction delay claims. Yet, there is no much consensus among the practitioners
towards them. Often, the implementation of these theories, concepts and methodolog... Read More about Apportioning liability in construction delay claims : an evaluation of contemporary practices in the U.A.E. and a proposal for improvements.

The use of prospect theory framework in constrained multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (2012)
Thesis
Bunny, M. The use of prospect theory framework in constrained multi-objective particle swarm optimisation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Many practical problems in the real world nowadays can be formulated as constraint
single or multiple objective optimisation problems with constraints. Particle swarm
optimisation (PSO) is a population-based stochastic algorithm has been shown to b... Read More about The use of prospect theory framework in constrained multi-objective particle swarm optimisation.

Mouths and meaning : a multisensory, creative and collaborative arts based exploration of food, eating and embodiment towards gaining greater understanding of the experience of eating disorders (2012)
Thesis
Platten, B. Mouths and meaning : a multisensory, creative and collaborative arts based exploration of food, eating and embodiment towards gaining greater understanding of the experience of eating disorders. (Thesis). University of Salford

While it is widely recognized that there is no single cause contributing to the onset of
an eating disorder, current understanding of embodiment for those affected is
predominately represented as a preoccupation with body image (Probyn, 2000).
Cli... Read More about Mouths and meaning : a multisensory, creative and collaborative arts based exploration of food, eating and embodiment towards gaining greater understanding of the experience of eating disorders.

Host parasite interaction in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (2012)
Thesis
Bhardwaj, E. Host parasite interaction in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is far more common in developed countries
as compared to the developing world, where infection with intestinal parasites is common.
The hygiene hypothesis suggests lack of infection predisposes to the... Read More about Host parasite interaction in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease.
