Characterising the microbial communities associated with the water distribution system of a broiler farm and their role in Campylobacter infection
Thesis
Aranega Bou, P. Characterising the microbial communities associated with the water distribution system of a broiler farm and their role in Campylobacter infection. (Thesis). University of Salford

Campylobacters are zoonotic pathogens with extensive animal and environmental reservoirs in spite of their fastidious nature. Campylobacter jejuni is the main bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis worldwide. Epidemiological studies have identified...

Experimental and theoretical evaluation of progressive collapse capacity of reinforced concrete framed structures
Thesis
Alogla, K. Experimental and theoretical evaluation of progressive collapse capacity of reinforced concrete framed structures. (Thesis). University of Salford

Progressive collapse is a situation when local failure is followed by collapse of adjoining members, which in turn causes global collapse, threatening life. Local failure of a vertical load carrying member, can be caused by abnormal loading such as e...

Implementation of mechanistic-empirical approach for structural design of hydrated lime modified flexible pavement
Thesis
Al-Tameemi, A. Implementation of mechanistic-empirical approach for structural design of hydrated lime modified flexible pavement. (Thesis). University of Salford

The need for improved mechanistic procedures for design, maintenance, and rehabilitation of highway and airport pavements has been recognized for many years. Mechanistic methods are based on the principles of mechanics in contrast to the particular p...

Design of a smart power manager for digital communication systems
Thesis
Al-doori, Q. (in press). Design of a smart power manager for digital communication systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Portable devices, like mobile phones, are in an increasing need for power due to the growing complexity of applications and services provided by them. At the same time, mobile devices need to adapt their communication techniques so as to be able to w... Read More about Design of a smart power manager for digital communication systems.

Evaluation and modelling of perceived audio quality in popular music, towards intelligent music production
Thesis
Wilson, A. Evaluation and modelling of perceived audio quality in popular music, towards intelligent music production. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis addresses three fundamental questions: What is mixing? What makes a high-quality mix? How can high-quality mixes be automatically generated? While these may seem essential to the very foundations of intelligent music production, this thes...

Developing an IT Bidding Maturity Model (ITBMM) for IT firms operating in the Gulf Region
Thesis
Bayanouni, H. Developing an IT Bidding Maturity Model (ITBMM) for IT firms operating in the Gulf Region. (Thesis). University of Salford

A key focus of presented research is to develop a maturity assessment framework, in order to enhance the bidding process of the Information Technology (IT) firms. Area of investigation has been firms operating within the Gulf Region. Key research emp... Read More about Developing an IT Bidding Maturity Model (ITBMM) for IT firms operating in the Gulf Region.

Semantically aware hierarchical Bayesian network model for knowledge discovery in data : an ontology-based framework
Thesis
Al Harbi, H. Semantically aware hierarchical Bayesian network model for knowledge discovery in data : an ontology-based framework. (Thesis). University of Salford

Several mining algorithms have been invented over the course of recent decades. However, many of the invented algorithms are confined to generating frequent patterns and do not illustrate how to act upon them. Hence, many researchers have argued that...

Investigation into continuous spray and metered spray using compressed gas propellant
Thesis
Miguel, M. Investigation into continuous spray and metered spray using compressed gas propellant. (Dissertation). University of Salford

In general all the domestic aerosol products use hydrocarbon propellants (i.e. butane and propane) in which a high flash vaporisation provides a good atomisation. However, according to the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference agreed in Paris... Read More about Investigation into continuous spray and metered spray using compressed gas propellant.

Influence of summer snowfall on discharge emanating from the Gangotri glacier
Thesis
Larsen, K. Influence of summer snowfall on discharge emanating from the Gangotri glacier. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Study of Himalayan glaciers are important for a number of reasons including hydroelectric power, drinking water supply, irrigation & water resources. The aim of this investigation was to determine how summer snowfall events between 2001 & 2004 influ... Read More about Influence of summer snowfall on discharge emanating from the Gangotri glacier.
