Security-oriented cloud computing platform for critical infrastructures
Journal Article
Mackay, M., Baker, T., & Al-Yasiri, A. Security-oriented cloud computing platform for critical infrastructures. Computer Law and Security Review, 28(6), 679-686. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clsr.2012.07.007

The rise of virtualisation and cloud computing is one of the most significant features of computing in the last 10 years. However, despite its popularity, there are still a number of technical barriers that prevent it from becoming the truly ubiquito...

Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions
Thesis
Sinker, J. Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions. (Dissertation). University of Salford

These days most reproduced sound is consumed using portable devices and headphones, on which spatial binaural audio can be conveniently presented. One way of converting from conventional loudspeaker formats to binaural format is through the use of He... Read More about Efficient and compact representations of head related transfer functions.

The characterisation of flavone-DNA isoform interactions as a basis for anticancer drug development
Journal Article
Ragazzon, P., Bradshaw, T., Mathews, C., Iley, J., & Missailidis, S. The characterisation of flavone-DNA isoform interactions as a basis for anticancer drug development. Anticancer Research, 29(6), 2273-2283

BACKGROUND: The interactions of small molecules with nucleic acids are of considerable interest for the design of novel anticancer compounds. The physical properties and sequence specificity observed in the interactions between a group of flavonoi...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors
Journal Article
Muthukaman, N., Morrell, A., Smitha, A., Kohlhagen, G., Agama, K., Pommier, Y., …Cushman, M. Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 24(49), 5129-5140

The indenoisoquinolines represent a class of non-camptothecin topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitors that exert cytotoxicity by trapping the covalent complex formed between DNA and Top1 during relaxation of DNA supercoils. As an ongoing evaluation of Top1... Read More about Synthesis and biological evaluation of bisindenoisoquinolines as topoisomerase I inhibitors.

Human response to environmental noise and vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic
Thesis
Sharp, C. Human response to environmental noise and vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is currently a push to increase the proportion of freight traffic that is transported by rail, which is argued to be a safer, more sustainable and more climate friendly means of freight transportation when compared with road or air transportati...

Antibacterial activity of novel self-disinfecting surface coatings
Thesis
Elfakhri, S. Antibacterial activity of novel self-disinfecting surface coatings. (Thesis). University of Salford

The antibacterial activities of different thin films (TiO2/CuO, Cu/SiO2 and Ag/SiO2) prepared by flame-assisted chemical vapour deposition (FACVD) and atmospheric pressure thermal (APT-FCVD) for TiO2/CuO films, were investigated against standard strai...

Quantitative tool for measuring safety culture on busy construction sites in Great Britain
Thesis
Dixon, W. Quantitative tool for measuring safety culture on busy construction sites in Great Britain. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is aimed at developing an academically robust, cost effective tool / procedure for measuring safety culture that is easily administered on a busy construction site in Great Britain. This researcher works as a safety manager on construc... Read More about Quantitative tool for measuring safety culture on busy construction sites in Great Britain.

A text mining approach for Arabic question answering systems
Thesis
Sadek, J. A text mining approach for Arabic question answering systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

As most of the electronic information available nowadays on the web is stored as text, developing Question Answering systems (QAS) has been the focus of many individual researchers and organizations. Relatively, few studies have been produced for e... Read More about A text mining approach for Arabic question answering systems.

A framework for determining the compensable value of damages due to contamination to wetlands in the Niger delta of Nigeria
Thesis
Akujuru, V. A framework for determining the compensable value of damages due to contamination to wetlands in the Niger delta of Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford, Manchester

Abstract The valuation of any property follows a process which if followed results in a reasonably consistent determination of value. While the valuation of properties usually traded in the market is reasonably rampant and within the everyday pre-oc...

Using visual management to improve transparency in planning and control in construction
Thesis
Brady, D. Using visual management to improve transparency in planning and control in construction. (Thesis). University of Salford

The principle of transparency is rarely evident on construction sites. Current practice shows that instability in the execution phase is common, where activities, assumed to be feasible, have be rescheduled initiating a chain of further readjustment...
