An image processing decisional system for the Achilles tendon using ultrasound images
Thesis
Ben Rabha, J. (in press). An image processing decisional system for the Achilles tendon using ultrasound images. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Achilles Tendon (AT) is described as the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. As for any other organs in the human body, the AT is associated with some medical problems that include Achilles rupture and Achilles tendonitis. AT rupture...

In-situ measurement methods for characterisation and diagnosis of airborne sound transmission through multi-layered building partitions
Thesis
Patil, N. (in press). In-situ measurement methods for characterisation and diagnosis of airborne sound transmission through multi-layered building partitions. (Thesis). University of Salford

The thesis concerns with the development of novel measurement methods for characterisation and diagnosis of airborne sound transmission through building partitions. Using standard tests, the airborne sound insulation of partitions can be measured as...

Developing an assessment model for the adoption of building information modelling to reduce the cost of change orders in the Jordanian construction industry
Thesis
Alshdiefat, A. (in press). Developing an assessment model for the adoption of building information modelling to reduce the cost of change orders in the Jordanian construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The cost of change orders is a major challenge facing the Jordanian construction industry. Change orders can be defined as modifications to the contract documents through adding, modifying or deducting something in the original agreement. Change orde...

Removing the mask - do people over trust avatars reconstructed from video?
Presentation / Conference
avatars reconstructed from video?. Presented at 14th EuroVR International Conference, EuroVR 2017, Laval, France

This experiment compared the detection of deceit across video
conferencing and a fixed viewpoint 3D video based computer graphic medium. The purpose was to determine if the process of 3D reconstruction influenced trust by reducing detail of facial e... Read More about Removing the mask - do people over trust avatars reconstructed from video?.

Arthropod-borne infections in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia
Thesis
Alharbi, B. (in press). Arthropod-borne infections in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Arthropod vectors can transmit different diseases that are both a significant and widespread cause of mortality and morbidity in both human and wildlife species. However, further studies are required to identify the role of wildlife species as reserv... Read More about Arthropod-borne infections in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.

Accessible football stadia in England : what represents meaningful provision for wheelchair users and how can it be achieved?
Thesis
Dodd, J. (in press). Accessible football stadia in England : what represents meaningful provision for wheelchair users and how can it be achieved?. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aim of this PhD research is to explore English football stadia provision for spectators who are wheelchair users, identifying features that can limit, or which can promote their inclusion. The outcome of the research is to provide a fuller unders...
