The influence of national culture on the preparation, evaluation and negotiation of claims on international construction projects : a constructivist grounded theory (2020)
Thesis
on international construction projects : a constructivist grounded theory. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research has its origins in the commercial complexities of the international construction industry. The catalyst for the research was a challenging construction project in the Gaza Strip 20 years ago which, following the events of the second Int...

Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility (2020)
Thesis
Bunte, A. Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Glycosaminoglycans are becoming more and more focused upon as a research topic due to the broad use they have in aiding wound healing and preventing cell motility through competitive inhibition of the HGF-Met pathway. This pathway is extremely import... Read More about Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility.

A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation (2020)
Thesis
Pace, A. A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In an intact ankle, tendons crossing the joint store energy during the stance phase of walking prior to push-off and release it during push-off, providing forward propulsion. Most prosthetic feet currently on the market – both conventional and ener... Read More about A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation.

A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Thesis
Nsibande, C. A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Over a period of time, the researcher observed that real estate investment decisions were made under uncertainty in sub-Saharan Africa, and that this was due to unreliable and outdated economic and market data. The phenomenological study was an inves... Read More about A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa.

The development of a bidding and award process map for road PPP projects in Ghana (2020)
Thesis
Tchorly, J. The development of a bidding and award process map for road PPP projects in Ghana. (Thesis). University of Salford

Road infrastructure plays a direct role in poverty reduction and income generation, as it supports all other sectors of the economy. However, the financial constraints of the emerging economy restrict the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation...

A model towards hurricane preparedness communication in the state of Florida, USA (2020)
Thesis
Jayaswal, S. A model towards hurricane preparedness communication in the state of Florida, USA. (Thesis). University of Salford

Hurricanes are hazards that become disasters when they interact with the human environment. It is critical to elucidate how the minimally investigated hurricane preparedness communication paradigm impacts vulnerable populations. This study was conduc...

Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations (2020)
Thesis
Alshammari, A. (2020). Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a highly prevalent opportunistic protozoan parasite that has a remarkable capacity to infect humans and a range of warm-blooded animals. This research had two broad aims. Firstly, to investigating whether detection of T. gondii i...
