Biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial potential of seed and nut oils against Staphylococcus aureus
Thesis
Yangomodou, O. (in press). Biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial potential of seed and nut oils against Staphylococcus aureus. (Thesis). University of Salford

The antibacterial activities of oils and extracts from walnut, cashew and pumpkin were investigated on methicillin resistant and susceptible strain MRSA 252 and S. aureus ATCC 6538 using the disc agar diffusion technique. Results revealed that the te... Read More about Biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial potential of seed and nut oils against Staphylococcus aureus.

A multidisciplinary investigation into arsenic contamination in rice : rice preparation, arsenic knowledge and risk perception
Thesis

Rice is a popular staple consumed by approximately 3 billion of the world’s population. It is a source of essential nutrients, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and fibre. However, despite its
high nutritional content, rice is the second most importa... Read More about A multidisciplinary investigation into arsenic contamination in rice : rice preparation, arsenic knowledge and risk perception.

Behaviour of single batter piles and pile groups under lateral soil movement in sand
Thesis
Al-Salih, O. (in press). Behaviour of single batter piles and pile groups under lateral soil movement in sand. (Thesis). University of Salford

Piles are commonly subjected to induced loads from nearby construction activities such as approach embankments, excavation, tunnelling and moving slopes. To better understand the mechanism of this complicated soil-pile interaction problem, a comprehe...

Velocity distribution prediction in rectangular and compound channels under smooth and rough flow conditions
Thesis
Alawadi, W. (in press). Velocity distribution prediction in rectangular and compound channels under smooth and rough flow conditions. (Thesis). University of Salford

Many practical problems in river engineering require predictions of velocity distributions in single and compound open channels. In this study, velocity distributions in rectangular and compound open channels under different flow regimes, in terms of...

Antibacterial activity of polyunsaturated fatty acids related to chronic wound infections
Thesis
Eshlak, M. (in press). Antibacterial activity of polyunsaturated fatty acids related to chronic wound infections. (Thesis). University of Salford

Wound infections present major health problems worldwide. It has been revealed that
bacterial biofilm communities frequently colonise chronic wounds.Biofilms with Multidrugresistant organisms (MDRO) such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureu... Read More about Antibacterial activity of polyunsaturated fatty acids related to chronic wound infections.

Barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding of a rapidly changing Neotropical freshwater fish community
Thesis
Sales, N. (in press). Barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding of a rapidly changing Neotropical freshwater fish community. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Neotropical region comprises one of the greatest freshwater fish diversities in the world. Conservation and management actions in freshwater realms face great challenges in this region due to an insufficient knowledge base (e.g. shortage of taxon...

Valuers of UK agricultural land : an assessment of their performance, decision making and use of comparable evidence
Thesis
Simcock, M. (in press). Valuers of UK agricultural land : an assessment of their performance, decision making and use of comparable evidence. (Thesis). University of Salford

Establishing a market value for agricultural land in the UK is a complex and subjective task but it remains an important one as reliable and robust valuation figures remain vital to supporting good decision making in the management of land and proper...
