Incorporating design patterns into object-oriented development methods (1999)
Thesis
Moghim, M. Incorporating design patterns into object-oriented development methods. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Object-oriented methods and design patterns provide valuable design guidance for object-oriented system development. However, they are not competitors, and in fact complement each other in many ways. The research reported in this thesis studied ho... Read More about Incorporating design patterns into object-oriented development methods.

Enantioselective approaches to the synthesis of terpenoids and terpenoid derived alkaloids (1999)
Thesis
Mahmood, A. Enantioselective approaches to the synthesis of terpenoids and terpenoid derived alkaloids. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Previous work at Salford involved the deprotonation of meso epoxide (Ha) with chiral lithium amide bases, to produce the crural allylic alcohol (Ilia) and the enantioselective deprotonation of meso ketone (I) to provide chiral silyl enol ether (V)....

Spinal cord injury in Saudi Arabia : characteristics, bone mineral density, and functional electrical stimulation for upright mobility (1999)
Thesis
AboAbat, A. Spinal cord injury in Saudi Arabia : characteristics, bone mineral density, and functional electrical stimulation for upright mobility. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A nation-wide SCI survey was conducted for the first time in Saudi Arabia. It showed that the current situation and characteristic features of SCI patients was significantly different from that in other countries and there is deficiency in medical an...

Colour/space : its quality management in architecture : the colour/space unity as an unity of visual communication (1999)
Thesis
Moreira da Silva, F. Colour/space : its quality management in architecture : the colour/space unity as an unity of visual communication. (Thesis). University of Salford

In external city environment areas there is a poor understanding and often no conscious use of colour. The experts that work with colour, in terms of the built environment either as projectmakers, or as managers (decision-makers), are poorly prepa...
