Local and landscape scale effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in the Amazon (2022)
Thesis
Rowley, S. Local and landscape scale effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in the Amazon. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

Deforestation is the main driver of the biodiversity crisis. Resulting landscapes are left fragmented with isolated remnant forest patches embedded in a human-modified matrix which has the propensity to regenerate into successional forest. The Biolog...

A 'Surface-based' Geometrical Acoustic formulation within a Galerkin Boundary Element framework (2022)
Thesis
Emthyas, A. A 'Surface-based' Geometrical Acoustic formulation within a Galerkin Boundary Element framework. (Dissertation). University of Salford

As sound propagates within a room, it experiences high-order reflection, diffraction, and scattering. This causes the reflection density to increase over time, such that the sound field becomes diffuse and chaotic. Under these conditions, there is li...

Characterisation and biochemical activity testing of CE1 and GH78 family enzymes; towards improved glycosyl hydrolases for the production of biofuel and biobased products (2022)
Thesis
Austin, S. Characterisation and biochemical activity testing of CE1 and GH78 family enzymes; towards improved glycosyl hydrolases for the production of biofuel and biobased products. (Thesis). University of Salford

Traditional chemical industries currently involved in the manufacturing and processing of high-value molecules used in the food, pharmaceutical and biofuel sector rely heavily on chemicals derived from fossil fuels such as crude oil. Fossil fuels rep...

Metric-based optimisation of acoustic lenses and waveguides (2022)
Thesis
MacDonald, L. (2022). Metric-based optimisation of acoustic lenses and waveguides. (Dissertation). University Of Salford

This dissertation develops an automated procedure for the design of acoustic waveguides that can support single parameter (1P) wave propagation over a large bandwidth. 1P waves include plane, cylindrical and spherical waves, and the waveguides aim to...

Recapping and resistance in Apis mellifera against the parasite Varroa destructor: the queen swap experiment (2022)
Thesis
Webb, G. Recapping and resistance in Apis mellifera against the parasite Varroa destructor: the queen swap experiment. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Honey bee colonies worldwide are currently facing an unrelenting threat to their survival from the parasitic mite Varroa destructor. Although, resistance behaviours; such as recapping; appear to be effective by reducing mite infestations. In our firs...

Molecular approaches to reduce the illegal trade of shark and ray products in Indonesia (2022)
Thesis
Prasetyo, A. (2022). Molecular approaches to reduce the illegal trade of shark and ray products in Indonesia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Trade restrictions have been established to counteract the rapid global decline of sharks and rays (hereafter called elasmobranchs), such as controlled species under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and...

Investigating senescence and senescence-escape in cancer cells (2022)
Thesis
Toth, F. (2022). Investigating senescence and senescence-escape in cancer cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

Despite the general concept that therapy-induced senescence (TIS) has a tumour-suppressive role, the presence of senescent tumour cells and the ability of cancer cells to escape from senescence could potentially lead to therapy resistance and tumour...

The benefits of BIM use to improve information flow; making the design process more leaner (2022)
Thesis
Mollasalehi, S. The benefits of BIM use to improve information flow; making the design process more leaner. (Thesis). University of Salford

The construction industry faces many problems, such as poor productivity and efficiency, that mainly occur during the design process. Many construction problems associated with the design process are due to a lack of effective information flow manage...

Enhanced gas recovery and storage: the role of N2 during natural gas displacement by CO2 flooding in sandstone rocks (2022)
Thesis
Mohammed, N. Enhanced gas recovery and storage: the role of N2 during natural gas displacement by CO2 flooding in sandstone rocks. (Thesis). University of Salford

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and storage method for enhanced gas recovery holds enormous promise for concurrent natural gas recovery and CO2 storage from depleted gas resources. However, its potential application as part of climate friendly pilot s...
