Acoustics of activated carbon (2008)
Thesis
Bechwati, F. Acoustics of activated carbon. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis describes a study into how sound interacts with activated carbon, a material that
exhibits adsorbing and desorbing properties. Adsorption is where molecules from the
surrounding gas are attracted to the material microstructure and hel... Read More about Acoustics of activated carbon.

An investigation of leadership styles of Bahraini women top managers (2008)
Thesis
Al-Rashed, M. An investigation of leadership styles of Bahraini women top managers. (Thesis). University of Salford

The progression enjoyed by women in the kingdom of Bahrain today, is in parallel to the social, cultural, and political developments enjoyed by this country. The appointment of women to leadership positions in Bahrain over the past eight years has us... Read More about An investigation of leadership styles of Bahraini women top managers.

Integrating collaborative extranets with project integrated databases to improve the construction tender stage (2008)
Thesis
Al-Ajam, M. Integrating collaborative extranets with project integrated databases to improve the construction tender stage. (Thesis). University of Salford

The management of the construction projects is exponentially increasing in complexity since it has to deal with highly fragmented, complex and unique combinations of business relations, communications and processes. Each phase in the construction cyc... Read More about Integrating collaborative extranets with project integrated databases to improve the construction tender stage.

Organisational cultures: Progression and retention barriers to women in the UK construction industry (2008)
Journal Article
Worrall, L., Harris, K., Thomas, A., Stewart, R., Jessop, S., McDermott, P., & Platten, A. (2008). Organisational cultures: Progression and retention barriers to women in the UK construction industry

The UK construction industry employs over two million people and is the country 19s top employer. However, at present the UK is facing a massive shortfall of available skilled workers and this shortage is predicted to continue for the foreseeable fut...

Gain control and diffraction-managed solitons in metamaterials (2008)
Journal Article
Boardman, A., King, N., Mitchell-Thomas, R., Malnev, V., & Rapoport, Y. (2008). Gain control and diffraction-managed solitons in metamaterials. Metamaterials, 2(2-3), 145-154. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.metmat.2008.03.005

The question of whether stable, active metamaterials can be created is addressed, both through a discussion of absolute instability
and an analysis of a transmission line that produces dispersion analogous to that of the familiar split-ring resonato... Read More about Gain control and diffraction-managed solitons in metamaterials.

The contribution of local experiments and negotiation processes to field-level learning in emerging (niche) technologies : meta-analysis of 27 new energy projects in Europe (2008)
Journal Article
Raven, R., Heiskanen, E., Lovio, R., Hodson, M., & Brohmann, B. (2008). The contribution of local experiments and negotiation processes to field-level learning in emerging (niche) technologies : meta-analysis of 27 new energy projects in Europe. Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society, 28(6), 464-477. https://doi.org/10.1177/0270467608317523

This article examines how local experiments and negotiation processes contribute to social and field-level learning. The analysis is framed within the niche development literature, which offers a framework for analyzing the relation between projects...

Culture change through the use of appropriate pricing systems (2008)
Journal Article
Fortune, C. (2008). Culture change through the use of appropriate pricing systems. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 15(1), 66-77. https://doi.org/10.1108/09699980810842070

Description: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how practitioners have not fully responded to calls for change in culture. Given that construction teams are motivated by several key factors including money, payment systems may play a majo... Read More about Culture change through the use of appropriate pricing systems.

A physical–chemical model for the static water retention characteristic of unsaturated porous media (2008)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Grove, S., & Anderson, M. (2008). A physical–chemical model for the static water retention characteristic of unsaturated porous media. Advances in water resources, 31(4), 701-713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2008.01.005

Water retention characteristic or water retention curve (WRC) is an important constitutive feature of porous media, and also meanwhile
is an indispensable requirement in hydraulic transport modelling. Previous experiments have indicated that the spe... Read More about A physical–chemical model for the static water retention characteristic of unsaturated porous media.

Assessment of the nutrient removal performance in integrated constructed wetlands with the self-organizing map (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, L., Scholz, M., Mustafa, A., & Harrington, R. (2008). Assessment of the nutrient removal performance in integrated constructed wetlands with the self-organizing map. Water Research, 42(13), 3519-3527. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2008.04.027

The self-organizing map (SOM) model was applied to predict outflow nutrient concentrations
for integrated constructed wetlands (ICWs) treating farmyard runoff. The SOM
showed that the outflow ammonia-nitrogen concentrations were strongly correlated... Read More about Assessment of the nutrient removal performance in integrated constructed wetlands with the self-organizing map.
