An overconstrained eight-bar linkage and its associated fulleroid-like deployable platonic mechanisms
Presentation / Conference
Wei, G., & Dai, J. An overconstrained eight-bar linkage and its associated fulleroid-like deployable platonic mechanisms. Presented at 2014 Conference proceedings of Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, 38th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference Buffalo, New York, USA

This paper for the first time presents an overconstrained spatial eight-bar linkage and its application to the synthesis of a group of Fulleroid-like deployable Platonic mechanisms. Structure of the proposed eight-bar linkage is introduced, and const... Read More about An overconstrained eight-bar linkage and its associated fulleroid-like deployable platonic mechanisms.

Organisational learning in construction : a framework from the process improvement perspective
Thesis
a framework from the process improvement perspective. (Thesis). University of Salford

The construction industry, one of the significant sectors of most regional and national economies, is being continuously urged to improve its performance at project and organisational level. The urgent need to improve the processes of construction p... Read More about Organisational learning in construction : a framework from the process improvement perspective.

A conceptual framework and best practices for designing and improving construction supply chains
Thesis
Souza De Souza, D. A conceptual framework and best practices for designing and improving construction supply chains. (Thesis). University of Salford

Construction supply chains are problematic to manage. Examples of recurring problems in construction supply chains are increased levels of non-conformances, delivery delays, and disruptions in supply, among others. Theoretical developments in the fie...

Low energy–low carbon acute hospital engineering design and operation in the UK : analysis of the impact of In-Use
Thesis
Bacon, M. Low energy–low carbon acute hospital engineering design and operation in the UK : analysis of the impact of In-Use. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis introduces an innovative contribution to the low energy - low carbon design of acute hospitals in the UK. The need for innovation in acute hospital design arises from the consistently poor energy and carbon performance of the health care...

Canine echinococcosis in the Alay Valley, southern Kyrgyzstan
Thesis
van Kesteren, F. Canine echinococcosis in the Alay Valley, southern Kyrgyzstan. (Thesis). University of Salford

Echinococcosis is a serious and often fatal zoonotic disease caused by parasites in the genus Echinococcus. Echinococcus spp. cycle between intermediate and final hosts, and it is the accidental ingestion of eggs in faeces of final hosts (usually can...
