environments. The unit is able to spray uniformly onto any given surface, providing 'mist... Read More about Investigation into the design and development of a disinfection system utilising a novel spill-return atomiser (SRA).

The role of stakeholders in building self-sustaining capacity in housing development projects in marginalised communities : case of Odi and Kaduna South communities in Nigeria (2011)
Thesis
Schofield, L. The role of stakeholders in building self-sustaining capacity in housing development projects in marginalised communities : case of Odi and Kaduna South communities in Nigeria. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The need to drive communities into being self-reliant requires strategies that can enable
communities to take control of their own need. This requires effective interaction between
institutions that are involved in promoting such strategies. This t... Read More about The role of stakeholders in building self-sustaining capacity in housing development projects in marginalised communities : case of Odi and Kaduna South communities in Nigeria.

Analysis of road user charging impacts on activity travel patterns in Libya (2011)
Thesis
Safour, A. Analysis of road user charging impacts on activity travel patterns in Libya. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In Libya, studies state that there is an increase in car ownership and this increase in
traffic movement causes congestion which affects and can increase travelling time in
large Libyan cities, particularly in Tripoli and Benghazi. Because of thi... Read More about Analysis of road user charging impacts on activity travel patterns in Libya.

Thesis
Moorehead, R. Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Apatite based glass-ceramics are some of the most bioactive materials found to
date. They do not require fibrous encapsulation and bond to bone directly
through an apatite layer. Apatite based glass-ceramics exhibit relatively poor
biaxial flexura... Read More about Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics.
