Innovation in quantity surveying practice firms : an investigation of innovation response during compressed pre-contract timelines in Nigeria
Thesis
Balogun, O. Innovation in quantity surveying practice firms : an investigation of innovation response during compressed pre-contract timelines in Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford

Reflecting on the pre-contract activities of a quantity surveying (QS) firm, a recent project commission came to focus in which there was an acute shortage of time to produce pre-contract documents due to the compressed pre-contract timeline given by...

Gene expression of DNA repair proteins in colorectal cancer and medulloblastoma
Thesis
Odufuwa, K. Gene expression of DNA repair proteins in colorectal cancer and medulloblastoma. (Thesis). University of Salford

DNA repair plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the genome and the dysregulation of key DNA repair genes has been implicated in the development, progression and chemotherapeutic resistance of different cancer types. Consequently, man... Read More about Gene expression of DNA repair proteins in colorectal cancer and medulloblastoma.

Water-based drilling fluids for high temperature and dispersible shale formation applications
Thesis
Akpan, E. Water-based drilling fluids for high temperature and dispersible shale formation applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

The negative impacts of drilling fluids, most especially oil-based muds, on the environment are a source of concern to regulators and governments all over the world. Consequently, regulations on the discharge and disposal of drilling fluids worldwide... Read More about Water-based drilling fluids for high temperature and dispersible shale formation applications.

Detection and description of pulmonary nodules through 2D and 3D clustering
Thesis
AL-FUNJAN, A. Detection and description of pulmonary nodules through 2D and 3D clustering. (Thesis). University of Salford

Precise 3D automated detection, description and classification of pulmonary nodules offer the potential for early diagnosis of cancer and greater efficiency in the reading of computerised tomography (CT) images. CT scan centres are currently experien... Read More about Detection and description of pulmonary nodules through 2D and 3D clustering.

Behavioural ecotoxicology of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon : changing colour in polluted environments
Thesis
Althomali, A. Behavioural ecotoxicology of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon : changing colour in polluted environments. (Thesis). University of Salford

The brown shrimp, Crangon crangon has a great ecological value in UK estuaries and coastal areas and it is also a commercially important species. It utilizes chromatophores (specialized cells containing pigments) to match its background, changing its...

Ecology and molecular epidemiology of tick-borne infection in Kachia Grazing Reserve, Nigeria
Thesis
Adam, B. Ecology and molecular epidemiology of tick-borne infection in Kachia Grazing Reserve, Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ticks and tick-borne infections (TBIs) are serious veterinary and medical concerns in much of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite their economic importance, information on the epidemiology of these infections in many SSA countries, including Nigeria, i...

Remote sensing to characterise vegetation fuel moisture content in the UK uplands
Thesis
Badi, A. Remote sensing to characterise vegetation fuel moisture content in the UK uplands. (Thesis). University of Salford

Wildfires are an important hazard globally as they lead to significant land degradation, carbon losses and impact on human activities. Recent research has demonstrated how dynamic fire risk estimates can be informed by the use of remote sensing techn...
