Analysing functionalities of project extranets in construction : a provision and requirement approach (2010)
Thesis
Liu, N. Analysing functionalities of project extranets in construction : a provision and requirement approach. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Project extranets are adopted to improve information management, communication and collaborative working in construction industry. Previous studies have demonstrated their development, evolution and implementation. The benefits, barriers and succes...

Epidemiology, treatment and follow-up of human echinococcosis on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, China (2010)
Thesis
Li, T. Epidemiology, treatment and follow-up of human echinococcosis on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, China. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of human echinococcosis in Tibetan communities of Sichuan Province, undertake genotyping of human echinococcosis isolates from the Tibetan Plateau, and assess the clinical efficacy of albendazole...

Novel heparin mimics as inhibitors of HGF-induced activation of Met : design, synthesis and biological evaluation (2010)
Thesis
Lagoutte, R. Novel heparin mimics as inhibitors of HGF-induced activation of Met : design, synthesis and biological evaluation. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In chapter one, hepatocyte growth factor HGF, its receptor, the tyrosine kinase Met and their biological implications are introduced, and the structure and role of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) heparan sulfate and heparin are described. An account... Read More about Novel heparin mimics as inhibitors of HGF-induced activation of Met : design, synthesis and biological evaluation.

Experimental verification and computational comparison of an oseen flow slender body theory (2010)
Thesis
Khan, H. Experimental verification and computational comparison of an oseen flow slender body theory. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This project further develops recent work which proposes a new theory that predicts the forces on slender bodies, and slender and thin wings. A steady, incompressible uniform field for high Reynolds numbers (although aerodynamically low-speed) is a...

Numerical modelling of supra-aural headphones (2010)
Thesis
Kelly, L. Numerical modelling of supra-aural headphones. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Headphone design is facilitated by modelling and has traditionally been carried out using lumped parameters, which are efficient but limited to low frequencies. In this investigation a wave based approach is taken using finite elements to introduce... Read More about Numerical modelling of supra-aural headphones.

Urban green spaces and social cohesion (2010)
Thesis
Kazmierczak, A. Urban green spaces and social cohesion. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Green spaces provide numerous environmental, economic and social benefits to residents of urban areas. One particular notion is that green spaces contribute to social cohesion of urban communities. However, the extant evidence for this contribution... Read More about Urban green spaces and social cohesion.

Aetiology, management and prognosis of jaundice in adult patients with acute severe intestinal failure (2010)
Thesis
Kalaiselvan, R. Aetiology, management and prognosis of jaundice in adult patients with acute severe intestinal failure. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Introduction: Acute severe intestinal failure, otherwise known as Type II intestinal failure (IF), refers to patients with complex metabolic, septic and nutritional problems which develop following major abdominal catastrophes. Jaundice and live... Read More about Aetiology, management and prognosis of jaundice in adult patients with acute severe intestinal failure.

Source and boundary conditions in finite difference time domain modelling of room acoustics (2010)
Thesis
Jeong, H. Source and boundary conditions in finite difference time domain modelling of room acoustics. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This project deals with several issues on the use of Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method for room acoustic simulation. The main features covered are: source implementation; modeling of frequency dependent boundary conditions; and modeling...

A Dooyeweerdian approach to time in sustainable development (2010)
Thesis
Iuliis, M. A Dooyeweerdian approach to time in sustainable development. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Time is at the core of Sustainable planning. How to involve time in the planning processes is a crucial question for which very few exhaustive answers have been provided. This research attempts to provide a definition of the important role played b... Read More about A Dooyeweerdian approach to time in sustainable development.
