A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Thesis
Nsibande, C. A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Over a period of time, the researcher observed that real estate investment decisions were made under uncertainty in sub-Saharan Africa, and that this was due to unreliable and outdated economic and market data. The phenomenological study was an inves... Read More about A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa.

A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation (2020)
Thesis
Pace, A. A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In an intact ankle, tendons crossing the joint store energy during the stance phase of walking
prior to push-off and release it during push-off, providing forward propulsion. Most prosthetic
feet currently on the market – both conventional and ener... Read More about A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation.
