Modelling of low frequency muffler based on acoustic black hole effect
Thesis
Sharma, N. (in press). Modelling of low frequency muffler based on acoustic black hole effect. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis investigates the influence of acoustic metamaterials, or linings with graded properties, on the performance of open termination ducts and mufflers working within low frequency range. The functioning of such linings has been associated to... Read More about Modelling of low frequency muffler based on acoustic black hole effect.

Investigations of polymorphic colour vision in new world primates
Thesis
Goulart, V. (in press). Investigations of polymorphic colour vision in new world primates. (Thesis). University of Salford

Primate colour vision in New World primates is intriguingly complex; show a polymorphism where males are obligatory dichromats (i.e. perception similar to colour-blind humans that cannot differentiate red from green) Females can be either dichromats...

Towards realisation of spectrum sharing of cognitive radio networks
Thesis
Fakhrudeen, A. Towards realisation of spectrum sharing of cognitive radio networks. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cognitive radio networks (CRN) have emerged as a promising solution to spectrum shortcoming, thanks to Professor Mitola who coined Cognitive Radios. To enable efficient communications, CRNs need to avoid interference to both Primary (licensee) Users... Read More about Towards realisation of spectrum sharing of cognitive radio networks.

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...
