A framework for an adaptable and personalised e-learning system based on free web resources
Thesis
Aeiad, E. A framework for an adaptable and personalised e-learning system based on free web resources. (Thesis). University of Salford

An adaptable and personalised E-learning system (APELS) architecture is developed to provide a framework for the development of comprehensive learning environments for learners who cannot follow a conventional programme of study. The system extracts... Read More about A framework for an adaptable and personalised e-learning system based on free web resources.

Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the titi monkeys (callicebinae)
Thesis
Byrne, H. Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the titi monkeys (callicebinae). (Thesis). University of Salford

Titi monkeys (Callicebinae; Pitheciidae) are a diverse, species-rich group of New World primates with an extensive range across South America. They diverged from their sister clade (Pitheciinae) in the early Miocene, and thus, they comprise one of th... Read More about Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the titi monkeys (callicebinae).

A medical ultrasound reporting system based on domain ontology
Thesis
Zulkarnain, N. A medical ultrasound reporting system based on domain ontology. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ultrasound reports are produced in different ways by radiologists. These variations in reporting style could impact on the value of the report and the way it is interpreted, which in turn may have implications for patients’ management and decision ma...

Relative distance perception of sound sources in critical listening environment via binaural reproduction
Thesis

Accurate distance cues are important in the degree of realism provided by virtual audio systems. In the last decade there has been an increased interest in this research area. The main focus of this research project is to investigate the effect of di...

Is this seat taken? Behavioural analysis of the Telethrone : a novel situated telepresence display
Presentation / Conference
O'Hare, J., Bendall, R., Weir, B., Thomas, G., & Roberts, D. Is this seat taken? Behavioural analysis of the Telethrone : a novel situated telepresence display. Presented at ICAT-EGVE 2016 - International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence and Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA

We present research with two novel components; a system which may improve current small group telecommunication, and an experiment to test the efficacy. Telethrone projects a remote user onto a chair, bringing them into your space. The chair acts as... Read More about Is this seat taken?

A new strategy for case-based reasoning retrieval using classification based on association
Thesis
Aljuboori, A., & Meziane, F. A new strategy for case-based reasoning retrieval using classification based on association. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cased Based Reasoning (CBR) is an important area of research in the field of Artificial Intelli-gence. It aims to solve new problems by adapting solutions, that were used to solve previous similar ones. Among the four typical phases - retrieval, reus...

Floating treatment wetlands for synthetic greywater remediation
Thesis
remediation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Aggravation of water scarcity, eutrophication and pollution, has led to treatment and/or recycling of the major fraction of domestic wastewater, which is grey wastewater, for non‒potable options. The major aim of this study was to evaluate the perfor... Read More about Floating treatment wetlands for synthetic greywater remediation.
