Assessment of motivation in the lizard, Chalcides ocellatus (1996)
Journal Article
Skelton, T., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1996). Assessment of motivation in the lizard, Chalcides ocellatus. Animal Welfare Journal, 5(1), 63-69. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600018340

The purpose of this study was to assess whether running an alleyway can be used to measure the motivation of lizards. Six, eyed skinks, Chalcides ocellatus, were trained to run an alleyway to reach sand in which to hide. Each skink was deprived of sa...

On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator (1996)
Journal Article
Veasey, J. S., Waran, N. K., & Young, R. J. (1996). On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator. Animal Welfare Journal, 5(1), 13-24. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0962728600018297

It is commonly assumed that animals suffer if they cannot perform behaviours seen in wild conspecifics. Although comparisons with the behaviour of wild conspecifics are a popular method of assessing the welfare of captive animals, their validity has...

Development framework approach to heterogeneous system design for control systems (1996)
Journal Article
Baxter, M., Bass, J., Browne, A., Hajji, M., Tokhi, M., Croll, P., & Fleming, P. (1996). Development framework approach to heterogeneous system design for control systems. Control Engineering Practice, 4(2), 229-238. https://doi.org/10.1016/0967-0661%2895%2900230-8

An integrated environment of software development tools, known as the Development Framework, which automates the design process for complex real-time embedded control systems, is introduced. The approach favoured here is to maximise the use of commer... Read More about Development framework approach to heterogeneous system design for control systems.

Nondiffracting beams: travelling, standing, rotating and spiral waves (1996)
Journal Article
Chávez-Cerda, S., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (1996). Nondiffracting beams: travelling, standing, rotating and spiral waves. Optics Communications, 123(1-3), 225-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/0030-4018%2895%2900538-2

A reformulation of nondiffracting beams, based on more general (travelling wave) solutions of the nonparaxial wave equation, is presented. Zero order nondiffracting beams are found to be radial standing waves arising from counterpropagating zero orde...

Modelling and simulation of transient gas flow (1996)
Thesis

One of the objectives of this research was to develop mathematical models for transient flow in a gas transmission system. Models were developed from the continuity and the momentum equations. Different approximations in the equations result in the f... Read More about Modelling and simulation of transient gas flow.

Achieving exemplary quality in the UK construction professions (1996)
Thesis
Faulkner, A. Achieving exemplary quality in the UK construction professions. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The object of the research was to develop an understanding of how UK construction
professionals achieve exemplary quality in the services they offer. The aspirations and
outlook of purchasers and providers of services were discussed, recorded, exam... Read More about Achieving exemplary quality in the UK construction professions.

Contractor selection using the multiattribute utility theory (1996)
Thesis
Hatush, Z. Contractor selection using the multiattribute utility theory. (Thesis). University of Salford

Literature and past research suggests that one of the reasons for the poor performance of
the construction industry is due to the inappropriateness of the awarded contractor. In
order to ensure a successful completion of a project, a comprehensive... Read More about Contractor selection using the multiattribute utility theory.

An integrated framework for environmental management and protection in Zambia (1996)
Thesis
Silengo, M. An integrated framework for environmental management and protection in Zambia. (Thesis). University of Salford

This study identifies the major environmental issues and
problems affecting Zambia and examines the current state and
practice of environmental protection and management. A
review of the existing legislation relating to environmental
protection i... Read More about An integrated framework for environmental management and protection in Zambia.

Environmental impacts of airports : a study of airport development and its impact on the social, environmental and economic well-being of the community (1996)
Thesis
Fayazbakhsh, M. Environmental impacts of airports : a study of airport development and its impact on the social, environmental and economic well-being of the community. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the last thirty years, air traffic has increased rapidly
causing the need to build more and larger airports. As the
aviation industry continues to expand, the need for larger
and more efficient aircraft with bigger payloads over greater
distan... Read More about Environmental impacts of airports : a study of airport development and its impact on the social, environmental and economic well-being of the community.
