Vector spatial solitons beyond the slowly-varying envelope approximation
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. Vector spatial solitons beyond the slowly-varying envelope approximation. Poster presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC 2013), University of Salford

The simultaneous propagation of two spatially-overlapping and differently-coloured laser beams (e.g., at infra-red and green wavelengths) in photonic waveguides has attracted much attention since the early 1990s [Shalaby & Barthelemy, IEEE J. Quantum... Read More about Vector spatial solitons beyond the slowly-varying envelope approximation.

Spontaneous spatial fractal light patterns in simple nonlinear cavities
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. Spontaneous spatial fractal light patterns in simple nonlinear cavities. Presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC 2013), University of Salford

Nature furnishes us with a wide variety of patterns that, fundamentally, tend to fall into one of two categories: simple (characterized by a dominant scale-length or “size”) or fractal (containing comparable levels of detail spanning decimal orders o...

Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework
Thesis
Lomax, S. Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework. (Thesis). University of Salford

Decision tree learning is one of the main methods of learning from data. It has been applied to a variety of different domains over the past three decades. In the real world, accuracy is not enough; there are costs involved, those of obtaining the da... Read More about Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework.

Evidence and design : an investigation of the use of evidence in the design of healthcare environments
Thesis
Codinhoto, R. Evidence and design : an investigation of the use of evidence in the design of healthcare environments. (Thesis). The University of Salford

In construction many problems exist that lead to poor quality of the built environment, for example, lack of integration between service and facility design and poor requirements management. Aiming to mitigate these problems, academics and practition... Read More about Evidence and design : an investigation of the use of evidence in the design of healthcare environments.

An investigation into the development of an effective benefits realisation process for healthcare infrastructure projects
Thesis
Sapountzis, S. An investigation into the development of an effective benefits realisation process for healthcare infrastructure projects. (Thesis). University of Salford

Traditionally, healthcare infrastructure programmes and projects determine their level of success mainly against cost, quality and time of delivery, and not on the degree to which benefits or impacts are delivered. Too often people have assumed that... Read More about An investigation into the development of an effective benefits realisation process for healthcare infrastructure projects.

Leadership practices to address cultural and behavioural challenges in construction partnering projects
Thesis
Thurairajah, N. Leadership practices to address cultural and behavioural challenges in construction partnering projects. (Thesis). The University of Salford

Partnering and related forms of collaboration have been seen as a way of tackling fragmentation and lack of integration that have bedevilled attempts to improve project performance over the years. Despite the amount of interest shown in partnering, a... Read More about Leadership practices to address cultural and behavioural challenges in construction partnering projects.

A literature review on information coordination in construction
Presentation / Conference
Biscaya, S., & Tah, H. A literature review on information coordination in construction. Presented at The Seventh International Postgraduate Conference in the Built and Human Environment, Salford, UK

Currently in Portugal, procedures for gathering construction project information as well as coordinating and communicating the information amongst all the stakeholders in the process are extremely bureaucratic, confusing and awfully time-consuming....
