Design and implementation of a control system for a powered reciprocating gait orthosis (2000)
Thesis
Zaidan, A. Design and implementation of a control system for a powered reciprocating gait orthosis. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The University of Salford has developed a program in order to improve the control of lower limb orthotics thus improving the ability of paraplegics to walk. Although the system is greatly needed for rehabilitation it is hoped that the final system... Read More about Design and implementation of a control system for a powered reciprocating gait orthosis.

The behaviour of profiled steel sheet/concrete slabs (2000)
Thesis
Shobaki, I. The behaviour of profiled steel sheet/concrete slabs. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the effect of shear-bond on the behaviour of profiled steel sheet/concrete composite slabs. A review of the previous work carried out to investigate the influence of shear bond in composite constru... Read More about The behaviour of profiled steel sheet/concrete slabs.

The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane (2000)
Thesis
Wilkins, G. The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The thesis considers the environmental policy statement of Biffa Waste Services to progressively reduce its methane emissions to atmosphere, and then sets out to develop a strategy for achieving this aim. As a major waste disposal company, disposi... Read More about The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane.

A phenomenologically based contingent anatomy of competitive advantage within the construction industry (2000)
Thesis
Eaton, D. A phenomenologically based contingent anatomy of competitive advantage within the construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Sustainable competitive advantage (CA) is a necessary requirement of a rational economic business organisation. Without this CA a business does not have a rational source for appropriating added value in the form of retained profit. Various managemen...

TempoMiner: towards mining time-oriented data (2000)
Thesis
Saraee, M. TempoMiner: towards mining time-oriented data. (Thesis). University of Manchester, Institute of Science and Technology

The time dimension is a unique and powerful dimension in every enterprise data. In dynamic application such as financial and medical applications representing data as it changes overtime is a common problem. There are diverse applications that requir...

Synthetic approaches to polyoxygenated chromone and chromanome natural products (2000)
Thesis
Wootton, R. Synthetic approaches to polyoxygenated chromone and chromanome natural products. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The work described in this thesis is concerned with the chemistry of polymethoxylated aromatic carbonyl compounds bearing a 2,6-dioxygenated substitution pattern, with particular regard to establishing synthetic routes to biologically active chrom... Read More about Synthetic approaches to polyoxygenated chromone and chromanome natural products.

Multi-aspectual knowledge elicitation (2000)
Thesis
Winfield, M. Multi-aspectual knowledge elicitation. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This work examines one of the major stumbling blocks of knowledge based systems development, namely knowledge elicitation. The challenge is a fundamental one of eliciting knowledge from domain experts including tacit knowledge. This thesis argue... Read More about Multi-aspectual knowledge elicitation.

A multi-disciplinary optimisation model for passenger aircraft wing structures with manufacturing and cost considerations (2000)
Thesis
Wang, L. A multi-disciplinary optimisation model for passenger aircraft wing structures with manufacturing and cost considerations. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In traditional aircraft wing structural design, the emphasis has been on pursuing the minimum weight or improved performance. The manufacturing complexity or cost assessments are rarely considered because it is usually... Read More about A multi-disciplinary optimisation model for passenger aircraft wing structures with manufacturing and cost considerations.

GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction (2000)
Thesis
Goulding, J. GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Construction organisations are increasingly focussing their energies, resources, and aspirations to the development of strategy. In this context, information technology (IT) is progressively being used as a core tool and enabler of the business st... Read More about GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction.

Colour and space : an analysis of the relationships between colour meaning expression and the perception of space (2000)
Thesis
Durao, M. Colour and space : an analysis of the relationships between colour meaning expression and the perception of space. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis examines the phenomenon of colour as a means of expression of meaning in spatial contexts. The nature of the underpinning project involved paintings and their integration with an architectural setting. Judgements made-in-situ by users of...

Authenticity criteria for the conservation of historic places (2000)
Thesis
Alho, C. Authenticity criteria for the conservation of historic places. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aim of this research is to contribute to the concept of authenticity for the conservation of historic places. The focus of this work is a development of a set of criteria to assess authenticity in order to contribute towards the conservation of...

The active control of low frequency room modes (2000)
Thesis
Avis, M. The active control of low frequency room modes. (Thesis). University of Salford

The normal modes of an enclosed sound field introduce spatial, time and frequency domain artefacts to signals reproduced in such an environment, such that undesirable colouration of these signals may be perceived. Modal density with respect to freq... Read More about The active control of low frequency room modes.

Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces (2000)
Thesis
Hargreaves, T. Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

This project concerns quantifying the diffuseness of sound reflections from surfaces by means of a diffusion coefficient. Afthough it is now acknowledged that diffuse reflections are important in determining sound fields within rooms, no standardi...
