Calculation of excess disease burden for As exposed populations is becoming increasingly important to enable quantitative estimation of the impacts of various As mitigation options. There are several methods by which such calculations may be carried...

Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators (2008)
Thesis
Costa, N. Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators. (Thesis). University of Salford

Successful motor rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain/spinal cord injures requires a
highly intensive and task-specific therapy-based approach. Currently many patients with these
types of pathologies are confined to wheelchairs, which res... Read More about Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators.

A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface (2008)
Thesis
Gandy, A. A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK/Universite de Poitiers, France

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the
damage produced following high temperature (350°C) Xe implantation into (100)
Si at fluence (>lx!0 16 Xe ions/cm 2 ) and energy (250keV) which produce a buried
amorphous layer... Read More about A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface.

Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China (2008)
Thesis
Marston, C. Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research investigates the spatial distributions of small mammal species which act
as intermediate host vectors for the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, which
causes a significant burden of human disease in western China. Small m... Read More about Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China.

Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires (2008)
Thesis
Onyenobi, T. Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires. (Thesis). University of Salford

With the development and use of fire sensitive construction materials and furnishings,
and with the growing demand for high-rise development, there is an increasing need for
improved fire safety measures. Modern high-rise policies within the UK and... Read More about Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires.

Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Wolff, R., Roberts, D., Murgia, A., Murray, N., Rae, J., Steptoe, W., …Sharkey, P. (2008, October). Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot. Presented at 12th 2008 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real-Time Applications, Vancouver, Canada

Eye gaze is an important conversational resource that
until now could only be supported across a distance if people were rooted to the spot. We introduce EyeCVE, the
world’s first tele-presence system that allows people in different physical locati... Read More about Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot.

Acoustic diagnosis of driving belt physical condition in enclosures (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Gu, F., Ball, A., & Gilkes, O. (2008, October). Acoustic diagnosis of driving belt physical condition in enclosures. Presented at Internoise 2008, Shanghai, China

Timing belt transmission is a key subsystem of international combustion engines. Faults in such belt systems lead to power loss, increased emissions and, in case of failure, may even cause severe damage to the whole engine. Hitherto, the physical con...
