Dental biofilm formation in young children and the long term effects of fluoride varnish
Thesis
Greenwood, D. Dental biofilm formation in young children and the long term effects of fluoride varnish. (Thesis). University of Salford

Introduction: Fluoride is widely used as a method of reducing caries and while much is known about the processes involved in enamel remineralisation the effects of fluoride on indigenous biofilms in vivo are unclear. Aims: The aim of this study was t... Read More about Dental biofilm formation in young children and the long term effects of fluoride varnish.

Lean framework for assessing construction logistics in Jordan
Thesis
Labib, Y. Lean framework for assessing construction logistics in Jordan. (Thesis). University of Salford

Construction plays a significant role in forming civilisations as it has an impact that spurs societies worldwide to construct their own unique building identities. The structure of the construction industry is arguably considered to be fragmented an... Read More about Lean framework for assessing construction logistics in Jordan.

Development of approaches for investigating the distribution of toxoplasma gondii infection in natural populations of animals and humans
Thesis
Bajnok, J. Development of approaches for investigating the distribution of toxoplasma gondii infection in natural populations of animals and humans. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed protozoan parasite that infects humans and a wide variety of warm-blooded animals. Although there are many surveys for T. gondii infection in mammals, little is known about the detailed distribution in loca...

Explicating excessive financial resource allocation by building control in achieving regulatory conformity in domestic extensions
Thesis
Irving, P. Explicating excessive financial resource allocation by building control in achieving regulatory conformity in domestic extensions. (Thesis). University of Salford

Building regulatory control of Domestic extensions in contrast to volume house building and commercial projects manifests a propensity to consume more economic resources than that generated from fee income. In personal Building Control practice cost... Read More about Explicating excessive financial resource allocation by building control in achieving regulatory conformity in domestic extensions.

Theoretical characterisation of spheroidal PbSe/PbS Core/Shell colloidal quantum dot heterostructures
Thesis
Walsh, T. Theoretical characterisation of spheroidal PbSe/PbS Core/Shell colloidal quantum dot heterostructures. (Thesis). University of Salford

Nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) show great promise in the advancement of the field of photovoltaics. While the maximum efficiency of conventional solar cell (SC) devices is limited to ∼ 31% (Shockley-Queisser limit), devices based on NQDs may attain...

Epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii in the pig industry of Yucatan, Mexico
Thesis
Cubas Atienzar, A. Epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii in the pig industry of Yucatan, Mexico. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide distributed parasitic disease caused by the zoonotic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii. Serological studies have estimated that more than 30% of the human population has been exposed to this protozoan. T. gondii is considered a...

Novel fusion proteins based on recombinant lectins for delivery of a cytotoxic peptide specifically to cancer cells
Thesis
Mohammed, S. Novel fusion proteins based on recombinant lectins for delivery of a cytotoxic peptide specifically to cancer cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

One of the most common post-translational modifications is covalent attachment of carbohydrates to proteins. At the cell surface, molecular recognition events involved in cancer metastasis are mediated by sugar moieties of glycoproteins. Evidence fro...

Optical properties of reduced graphene oxide : insights from ab initio and hybrid density functional theory
Thesis
Lundie, M. Optical properties of reduced graphene oxide : insights from ab initio and hybrid density functional theory. (Thesis). University of Salford

Graphene, despite its many remarkable material properties, is fundamentally limited for many photonic and microelectronic applications due to its semi-metallic nature. Chemical functionalisation of graphene affords one route toward opening an energy...
