Identification and quantification of transient structure-borne sound sources in electrical steering systems
Thesis
Sturm, M. Identification and quantification of transient structure-borne sound sources in electrical steering systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

During driving on rough roads, rattle noise may emanate from (electric power) rack-and-pinion steering gears as a result of reverse feedback from the road. This project is in collaboration with a German steering system manufacturer and aims to develo...

An investigation into the challenges faced by Libyan PhD students in Britain: a study of the three Universities in Manchester and Salford
Thesis
Aldoukalee, S. An investigation into the challenges faced by Libyan PhD students in Britain: a study of the three Universities in Manchester and Salford. (Thesis). Salford University

As a developing country, Libya has prioritised the growth of human capital as a means to achieve the government’s Libyanisation programme. This concern for the country’s human development has been evident in its attempts to educate and train Libyan n...

Urban development and the urban planning responses to social diversity and potential conflict in Indonesia
Thesis
Setiawan, W. Urban development and the urban planning responses to social diversity and potential conflict in Indonesia. (Thesis). University of Salford

The history of communal, violent conflicts has put Indonesia on the map after its crisis in 1998. As an ‘extraordinarily diverse’ country, the recent conflicts and the social diversity of Indonesia has led to a need to understand the importance of th...

Crystal structures and phase transitions in the rare earth oxides
Thesis
Atkinson, S. Crystal structures and phase transitions in the rare earth oxides. (Thesis). University of Salford

The lanthanoid sesquioxides exhibit a number of distinct structural phases. Below
2000°C these oxides exist in three crystal systems, namely the A-type hexagonal phase,
the B-type monoclinic phase and the C-type cubic phase. With increasing tempera... Read More about Crystal structures and phase transitions in the rare earth oxides.

Assessing resistance to technological change for improved job performance in the UAE (public sectors)
Thesis
Alameri, M. Assessing resistance to technological change for improved job performance in the UAE (public sectors). (Thesis). University of Salford

Globalization, restructuring and new technology developments in each and every sector has bought tremendous changes in all aspects of business and human lifestyles. One of the major changes that took place in business is change technology. Technology...

Cognitive Ant Colony Optimization : a new framework in swarm intelligence
Thesis
Riadi, I. Cognitive Ant Colony Optimization : a new framework in swarm intelligence. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms which belong to metaheuristic algorithms and swarm intelligence algorithms have been the focus of much attention in the quest to solve optimization problems. These algorithms are inspired by colonies of ants f... Read More about Cognitive Ant Colony Optimization : a new framework in swarm intelligence.

A comparative study of sediment trace metal levels in upland lakes in the southern and northern Carpathians of Romania
Thesis

The Carpathian Mountains in Romania hold around 150-200 glacial lakes and traverse a region where there are considerable environmental concerns. Despite a long tradition of palaeoecological study in the region, to date relatively little has been publ...

The modification of thin film surface structure via low temperature atmospheric pressure CVD post process treatment
Thesis
Thomson, M. The modification of thin film surface structure via low temperature atmospheric pressure CVD post process treatment. (Thesis). University of Salford

In photovoltaic thin film cells, a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer is required to transport current. The most common TCOs used are F:SnO2 (fluorine doped tin oxide), ZnO (zinc oxide) and ITO (indium doped tin oxide). ZnO is normally deposite...

An investigation into the consideration of children and young peoples' preferences in children's hospital design
Thesis
Sfandyari Fard, E. An investigation into the consideration of children and young peoples' preferences in children's hospital design. (Thesis). University of Salford

This study was conducted to increase the understanding of the involvement of children in the design process of the children's hospitals environment from their perspectives. It was aimed to build rich picture of the process, methods, benefits and prob...
