A system for understanding the content of street signs using finger-tracking (2011)
Thesis
Papoulakis, G. A system for understanding the content of street signs using finger-tracking. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The work describes the development of a computer vision system which detects and
interprets the text on signs in a scene. A key component in this system is the use of
finger detection to select a particular sign in the scene, or text on a sign. T... Read More about A system for understanding the content of street signs using finger-tracking.

Crystallisation in fluorapatite-fluorphlogopite glass ceramics (2011)
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.
