Thickness estimation, automated classification and novelty detection in ultrasound images of the plantar fascia tissues
Thesis
Boussouar, A. (in press). Thickness estimation, automated classification and novelty detection in ultrasound images of the plantar fascia tissues. (Thesis). University of SalfordThe plantar fascia (PF) tissue plays an important role in the movement and the stability of the foot during walking and running. Thus it is possible for the overuse and the associated medical problems to cause injuries and some severe common disease...

Heuristic modelling of multijunction solar cells using a parallel genetic algorithm
Thesis
Čičić, S. (in press). Heuristic modelling of multijunction solar cells using a parallel genetic algorithm. (Thesis). University of SalfordIn order to fabricate solar cells with the highest possible values of efficiencies, material type, layer thickness and doping have to be properly selected. It can be achieved if light absorption and carrier generation are maximized and losses minimize... Read More about Heuristic modelling of multijunction solar cells using a parallel genetic algorithm.
Towards a tool to gauge the success levels of housing-led urban regeneration schemes
Thesis
Dean, K. (in press). Towards a tool to gauge the success levels of housing-led urban regeneration schemes. (Thesis). University of SalfordDespite there having been many evaluation methods utilised within the field of housing-led urban regeneration schemes, there remains a gap in the knowledge base;
namely that no tool exists to quantitatively measure socio-environmental impacts for ho... Read More about Towards a tool to gauge the success levels of housing-led urban regeneration schemes.
Performing cycling : cultural dimensions of cycling practices
Thesis
Janvaria, J. (in press). Performing cycling : cultural dimensions of cycling practices. (Dissertation). University of SalfordAs there are various strategies put in place to increase cycling, cycling within the ethnic minority is still predominantly low and the reason why has not been broadly studied. This research aims to understand more about why there is a lack of cyclin... Read More about Performing cycling : cultural dimensions of cycling practices.
A novel optimised design using slots for flow control and high-lift performance of UCAVs
Thesis
Ali, U. (in press). A novel optimised design using slots for flow control and high-lift performance of UCAVs. (Thesis). University of SalfordIn this study, two UCAV planforms are considered based around generic 40° edge-aligned configurations. One configuration has a moderate leading and trailing edges sweep of Λ = 40°, while the other configuration is highly swept with a leading-edge swe...

Building agrarian infrastructure resilience against climate change impacts : a case of Plateau State, Nigeria
Thesis
Goyol, S. (in press). Building agrarian infrastructure resilience against climate change impacts : a case of Plateau State, Nigeria. (Thesis). University of SalfordAgrarian infrastructures dominate development in the Nigerian agricultural sector and incorporate various systems of transportation, irrigation and agricultural services that aim to improve the effectiveness of agricultural production and the sustena...

The effect of fracture orientation on permeability
Thesis
Al-Shukri, M. (in press). The effect of fracture orientation on permeability. (Dissertation). University of SalfordShale contain tiny pores where oil and gas are trapped, and fracking is undertaken to interconnect them and to release oil and gas. Furthermore, hydraulic fracturing is the process of injecting high-pressure fluids as high as 10 k psi into rocks to f... Read More about The effect of fracture orientation on permeability.
An online collaboration framework for small and medium sized enterprises in the United Kingdom construction sector
Thesis
Mohagheghi-Fard, M. (in press). An online collaboration framework for small and medium sized enterprises in the United Kingdom construction sector. (Thesis). University of SalfordMore than 99% of the UK construction sector includes businesses that are defined within the category of SMEs (Small and Medium Sized Enterprises). Of these, most are categorised as micro-businesses that have less than ten employees (Department for

Syntheses and reactions of thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidines
Thesis
Shahhet, M. (in press). Syntheses and reactions of thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidines. (Thesis). University of SalfordThieno [2,3-d] pyrimidines have, so far, been synthesised mainly from thiophen derivatives. The work described in this thesis is largely concerned with a search for general methods of synthesising substituted thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidines from pyrimidi...
