Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus, a subspecies of black uakari, was thought to be restricted to southern Venezuela. Observations of two groups of them in Pico da Neblina National Park, Brazil, suggest that its distribution should be extended to...

Switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels (1993)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1993). Switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 10(6), 1081-1089. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.10.001081

Separatrices and scaling laws in the switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels are investigated. We show that the dynamics in the full model are similar to those in the plane-wave limit. Switching features may be indicated and explained by t... Read More about Switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels.

The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers (1993)
Thesis
Onuoha, A. The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is an intricate relationship between water quantity and quality, development, human health and welfare, and aquatic life. Water availability is, however, variable in location and time. The increase in human populations and various anthropo... Read More about The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers.

Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment (1993)
Journal Article
Davies, W., Lam, Y., & Orlowski, R. (1993). Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 93(4), 2238-2240. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.406687

The relationship between the measured acoustic absorption coefficient of an array of theater chairs and the ratio of the perimeter length to plan area of the array is considered. It is shown that the linear relationship measured by Bradley in a rever... Read More about Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment.

A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments (1993)
Thesis
Wedgwood, O. A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis describes research in to flood forecasting on rapid response catchments, using knowledge based principles. Extensive use was made of high resolution single site radar data from the radar site at Hameldon Hill in North West England. Actual...

An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace (1993)
Thesis
Massey, J. An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis investigates the heat transfer involved in the heating of wire in an Electrically-Heated Tubular Strand Annealing Furnace. The fundamental concepts of the furnace are explained, followed by the rationale behind the basic design of the fur...

Self-sustained modelocking using induced nonlinear birefringence in optical fibres (1993)
Journal Article
Langridge, P., Mcdonald, G., Firth, W., & Wabnitz, S. (1993). Self-sustained modelocking using induced nonlinear birefringence in optical fibres. Optics Communications, 97(3-4), 178-182. https://doi.org/10.1016/0030-4018%2893%2990136-S

A numerical study of self-sustained mode locking due to optically induced nonlinear birefringence is presented. The model incorporates a polarizer, a gain medium, a half-wave plate and a single-mode passive fibre in a ring cavity configuration. The...

Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay (1993)
Thesis
Wilkin, D. Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Foundations to buildings which fail, are frequently underpinned and since 1971 when house insurers began to offer cover for damage due to "subsidence", the underpinning industry has grown to enjoy a multi-million pound turnover. Much of England sou... Read More about Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay.

Dark spatial soliton break-up in the transverse plane (1993)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., Syed, K., & Firth, W. (1993). Dark spatial soliton break-up in the transverse plane. Optics Communications, 95(4-6), 281-288. https://doi.org/10.1016/0030-4018%2893%2990679-Y

We report on numerical simulations investigating the instabilities which arise when dark soliton solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear Schrödinger equation are allowed to propagate in a 3D self-defocussing medium. Firstly, propagation of fu... Read More about Dark spatial soliton break-up in the transverse plane.
