Improving broadcast accessibility for hard of hearing individuals : using object-based audio personalisation and narrative importance (2020)
Thesis
Ward, L. Improving broadcast accessibility for hard of hearing individuals : using object-based audio personalisation and narrative importance. (Thesis). University of Salford

Technological advances in broadcasting can be the impetus for advances in accessibility services. For the 11 million individuals in the United Kingdom with some degree of hearing loss, the advent of object-based broadcasting and it’s personalisation...

Development of a collaborative innovation management framework to assist in the utilisation of agricultural waste as building materials in Nigeria (2020)
Thesis

The high cost of building materials in Nigeria is creating a shortfall of conventional building materials, which is also exacerbating the housing crisis in Nigerian urban areas. In view of the above, there is an urgent need to produce low cost, susta...

A novel boundary element method for low Reynolds number external flow of biological fluid dynamics (2020)
Thesis
Dang, B. A novel boundary element method for low Reynolds number external flow of biological fluid dynamics. (Thesis). University of Salford

Consider two dimensional low Reynolds number flow past a body. In this thesis, the problems of steady flow past a circular cylinder, steady flow past an elliptical cylinder, and the motion of a generic tail-like body are investigated. The theoretical...

Environmental transfer of radionuclides in a Sub-Saharan Africa setting (2020)
Thesis

In the last two decades, interest in the development of nuclear programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has increased. To ensure that the potential human and environmental ionising radiation exposure from nuclear developments within SSA can be adequat...

Investigation of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of iNOS gene expression in infection of natural populations of Apodemus sylvaticus with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (2020)
Thesis
Eshenshani, A. Investigation of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of iNOS gene expression in infection of natural populations of Apodemus sylvaticus with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite that infects all warm blooded animals. It can cause pathology in both infected humans and infected animals. There have been many studies investigating the factors the affect infection of laboratory animals,...

Into the night : evaluating sleep as a measure of animal welfare (2020)
Thesis
Schork, I. Into the night : evaluating sleep as a measure of animal welfare. (Thesis). The University of Salford

There is a need for a simple non-invasive measure of animal welfare. In humans, sleep quality correlates strongly with a person’s wellbeing; this suggests that sleep may also prove to be a suitable tool to measure mammals’ welfare. Studies in humans...

Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation (2020)
Thesis
Al-ani, A. Using magneto-inertial-measurement-units to track upper-limb movement during rehabilitation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can be used to support upper-limb rehabilitation after a stroke. A key aspect of FES control and also patient monitoring is the automatic tracking of upper-limb motion during intensive and functional practise o...
