Developing a strategy for the implementation of sustainable construction practices in Libya
Thesis
Khalil, A. (in press). Developing a strategy for the implementation of sustainable construction practices in Libya. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the 21st century, sustainability has become an urgent concern for the construction industry worldwide. It has been seen as one of the most significant challenges at the present time.
Nowadays, the theory of sustainability is considered as a cen... Read More about Developing a strategy for the implementation of sustainable construction practices in Libya.

Eating waste : a critical evaluation of surplus food redistribution as solution to food waste and food insecurity
Thesis
Spring, C. (in press). Eating waste : a critical evaluation of surplus food redistribution as solution to food waste and food insecurity. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis critically explores relationships between food insecurity and food waste in the UK through the lens of surplus food redistribution (SFR). Ethnographic research compared two UK redistribution organisations’ models, framings, practices and...

Using cathodic protection to control corrosion of reinforced concrete structures
Thesis
Oleiwi, H. (in press). Using cathodic protection to control corrosion of reinforced concrete structures. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cathodic protection (CP) has been increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcement from corrosion. However, due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the specifications in national and international standard...

An innovative portable detector for the live-monitoring of radionuclides in small terrestrial animals
Thesis
Fawkes, R. (in press). An innovative portable detector for the live-monitoring of radionuclides in small terrestrial animals. (Thesis). University of Salford

Radionuclide measurements in wildlife are required to demonstrate that the environment is not significantly impacted by radioactivity. Determination of internal radionuclide activity concentrations often requires destructive sampling. Development of...

Isolation of novel antibiotic producing microorganisms from invertebrates
Thesis
Ghanbour, H. (in press). Isolation of novel antibiotic producing microorganisms from invertebrates. (Thesis). University of Salford

Because of the increased incidence of antibiotic resistance there is an increasing need to isolate new microorganisms producing new antibiotics. Because conventional sources such as soil have been exhausted, attention has been turned to unexplored so...

Investigating calcium channel blockers as antimalarials
Thesis
Rajab, M. (in press). Investigating calcium channel blockers as antimalarials. (Thesis). University of Salford

The rise in resistance to current antimalarial drugs has led researchers to consider drug repositioning as a quicker alternative for drug development and discovery. Preliminary drug repositioning screens carried out at the University of Salford ident... Read More about Investigating calcium channel blockers as antimalarials.

Difference limen for reverberation time in auditoria
Presentation / Conference
Tsolias, A., & Davies, W. Difference limen for reverberation time in auditoria. Presented at Forum Acusticum, Krakow, Poland

The smallest change in reverberation time that can be perceived in a concert hall has been measured. Five existing halls with average reverberation times varying between 0.89 and 2.3 s were simulated in detail with Bose room acoustic modelling softwa...
