Modelling and computer simulation of the behaviour of solder paste in stencil printing for surface mount assembly (1998)
Thesis
He, D. Modelling and computer simulation of the behaviour of solder paste in stencil printing for surface mount assembly. (Thesis). University of Salford

One of the main challenges facing the electronics manufacturing industry in solder paste
printing for ultra-fine pitch surface mount and flip-chip assembly is the difficulty in
achieving consistent paste deposit volumes from pad-to-pad. At the very... Read More about Modelling and computer simulation of the behaviour of solder paste in stencil printing for surface mount assembly.

The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces (1998)
Thesis
Howarth, M. The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

Computer modelling of acoustics in enclosures has developed into various forms, none
of which have yet demonstrated 100% accuracy. This thesis therefore details a study of
room acoustic computer modelling. It highlights weaknesses with existing mod... Read More about The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces.

The development of the GIST (Grounding Information Systems) methodology : determining situated requirements in information systems analysis (1998)
Thesis
Hughes, J. The development of the GIST (Grounding Information Systems) methodology : determining situated requirements in information systems analysis. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis develops a methodology for situated requirements determination in
information systems analysis. The thesis challenges convention and adds to the
body of knowledge in this area since the methods of the methodology are more
usually assoc... Read More about The development of the GIST (Grounding Information Systems) methodology : determining situated requirements in information systems analysis.

Rehabilitation versus demolition and redevelopment : a value-based decision framework for private commercial properties (1998)
Thesis
Ohemeng, F. Rehabilitation versus demolition and redevelopment : a value-based decision framework for private commercial properties. (Thesis). University of Salford

Property developers, investors and financiers usually have reservations about
the investment performance of rehabilitated and refurbished properties.This is
due to the uncertainties introduced by low rental income, higher yields and
shorter leases... Read More about Rehabilitation versus demolition and redevelopment : a value-based decision framework for private commercial properties.

The development of electronic trading between construction firms (1998)
Thesis
Grilo, A. The development of electronic trading between construction firms. (Thesis). University of Salford

Electronic Trading is a business relationship that relies upon the use of computer and
telecommunication technology for information exchange. In order to understand the
development of electronic trading between construction firms, the CONNET model... Read More about The development of electronic trading between construction firms.

A probabilistic examplar based model (1998)
Thesis
Rodriguez Martinez, A. A probabilistic examplar based model. (Thesis). University of Salford

A central problem in case based reasoning (CBR) is how to store and retrieve
cases. One approach to this problem is to use exemplar based models, where only
the prototypical cases are stored. However, the development of an exemplar based
model (EB... Read More about A probabilistic examplar based model.

CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model (1998)
Thesis
Che Wan Putra, C. CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model. (Thesis). University of Salford

Construction is a process, which involves diverse parties having different
professional skills and interest. At present, the co-operation and information exchange
between parties involved in any construction has not yet been attained. During a proj... Read More about CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model.

The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality (1998)
Thesis
Hoxley, M. The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is less than fifteen years since the associations representing construction
professionals in the UK surrendered to Government pressure, and abolished
mandatory fee scales, predicting as they did so that abolition would inevitably
lead to a decl... Read More about The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality.

Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations (1998)
Thesis
Uzam, M. Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations. (Thesis). University of Salford

The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in computer technology, which in
return, has found widespread applications in manufacturing systems, communication
networks, robots etc. Such systems are called Discrete Event Systems (DESs), in whic... Read More about Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations.

Page segmentation using the description of the background (1998)
Journal Article
Antonacopoulos, A. (1998). Page segmentation using the description of the background. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 70(3), 350-369. https://doi.org/10.1006/cviu.1998.0691

There is an ever increasing number of publications which do not have the “traditional” layout where printed regions are rectangu- lar. Text paragraphs and areas of graphic type may be of any shape, individually rotated and in any arrangement. Previou... Read More about Page segmentation using the description of the background.
