Development of novel heterocyclic compounds as vascular targeting agents (2015)
Thesis
Killoran, P. Development of novel heterocyclic compounds as vascular targeting agents. (Thesis)

In chapter one the biology of cancer is introduced along with a brief history of drug treatment and the status quo of cancer therapeutics. This includes a general overview of cancer prevalence, carcinogenesis, and biochemistry. The main targets for c...

Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing (2014)
Thesis
Sarfraz, M. Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) reflects the activities and the attributes of the human heart and
reveals very important hidden information in its structure. The information is extracted by
means of ECG signal analysis to gain... Read More about Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing.

A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM (2014)
Thesis
Sattineni, A. A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM. (Thesis). University of Salford, College of Science and Technology

Supervision of construction workers on a site is crucial to ensure construction worker safety, to maintain the quality of work performed and to maintain acceptable levels of productivity. The act of supervision itself requires the site superintendent... Read More about A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM.

Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure (2014)
Thesis
Sica, G. Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental issues surrounding railway operation and construction have become more prominent in recent years, increasing the need for administrators and researchers to understand how residents living around railways respond to the noise and vibrati...

A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time (2014)
Thesis
Hodgkinson, T. A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time. (Thesis). University of Salford

General Relativity (GR) is Einsteins' theory of gravity whereby the motions of
bodies are explained due to their following geodesic paths (the shortest distance
between two points) in a curved four dimensional space-time. The curvature being
attri... Read More about A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time.

The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC (2014)
Thesis
Pawley, C. The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC. (Thesis). University of Salford

SiC is a material currently under consideration to be used in future generations of fission and fusion reactors where it will be subjected to high temperatures and significant fluxes of energetic neutrons. The work reported in this thesis aims to ans... Read More about The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC.

An activity-based cost controlling model for improving the management of construction project overheads (2014)
Thesis

Abstract
The construction industry was considered very important as it contributed a significant part of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the economic development of any country. Construction projects appeared to have high expenditures and compl... Read More about An activity-based cost controlling model for improving the management of construction project overheads.
