Improved membrane absorbers (2006)
Thesis
Oldfield, R. Improved membrane absorbers. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

This thesis presents research into two novel techniques for improving the low frequency performance, tunability and efficiency of membrane absorbers. The first approach uses a loudspeaker surround as the mounting for the membrane, increasing the movi... Read More about Improved membrane absorbers.

A knowledge management implementation framework for the Libyan banking sector (2006)
Thesis
Kridan, A. A knowledge management implementation framework for the Libyan banking sector. (Thesis). University of Salford

The principles of knowledge management (KM) are widely acknowledged and have been developed over the last 50 years, especially in such disciplines as management science, sociology, and construction. Whilst knowledge management (KM) is still an evolvi... Read More about A knowledge management implementation framework for the Libyan banking sector.

Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering (2006)
Thesis
Werner, M. Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The work described in this thesis concerns studies of damage and annealing processes in ion implanted Si, relevant for the formation of source / drain extensions in sub 100 nm CMOS devices. Implants were carried out using 1-3 keV As, BF2 and Sb io... Read More about Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering.

Spatial impression in multichannel surround sound systems (2006)
Thesis
Hirst, J. Spatial impression in multichannel surround sound systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Spatial impression in both concert halls and reproduced sound has been identified as an important attribute of the listening experience. In this study, the synthesis and objective measurement of spatial impression in reproduced sound is examined.... Read More about Spatial impression in multichannel surround sound systems.

A network aware adaptable application using a novel content scheduling and delivery scheme (2006)
Thesis
Abdul Rahman, A. A network aware adaptable application using a novel content scheduling and delivery scheme. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aim of this research is to investigate techniques or methodologies that will allow networked applications to adapt to network conditions between end nodes in order to maintain a reasonable Quality of Service and to design, develop and test techn...

Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis (2006)
Thesis
Gutierrez, G. Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The aim of this PhD was to undertake a study of combustion chemical vapour deposition (combustion CVD or CCVD) for the optical thin film materials synthesis. The most common variables for thin film formation were investigated, e.g. precursor volat... Read More about Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis.

On the theory of Helmholtz solitons (2006)
Thesis
Christian, J. On the theory of Helmholtz solitons. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis is concerned with spatial optical solitons in (quasi-two dimensional) planar waveguides, where there is a single longitudinal and (effectively) a single transverse dimension, and whose symmetry the solutions respect consistently. A key... Read More about On the theory of Helmholtz solitons.

Towards the implementation of building information models in geospatial context (2006)
Thesis
Isikdag, U. Towards the implementation of building information models in geospatial context. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The construction industry is very much fragmented and the concept of interoperability and integrated model based engineering is now becoming an industrial need, to address the difficulties of information exchange at all stages and between all part...

nD modelling as an enabler of inter-disciplinary thinking among construction industry stakeholders (2006)
Thesis
Marshall-Ponting, A. nD modelling as an enabler of inter-disciplinary thinking among construction industry stakeholders. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This research investigates the collaboration problems faced by the construction industry as a result of the traditional, sequential ways in which its practitioners work, and proposes nD modelling as a new approach for multi-disciplinary teams. The... Read More about nD modelling as an enabler of inter-disciplinary thinking among construction industry stakeholders.

An exploration of the benefits, drivers and barriers that affect the adoption of green roofs in urban Britain (2006)
Thesis
Pryce, M. An exploration of the benefits, drivers and barriers that affect the adoption of green roofs in urban Britain. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In urban areas surfaces are sealed by stone, concrete, and tarmac and there is a limited network of green areas. Consequently urban areas have higher temperatures, lower atmospheric humidity, and higher air pollution. By adopting green roofs in s...

Local culture : a fundamental factor in biodiversity's contribution to human health and well-being (2006)
Thesis
Tzoulas, K. Local culture : a fundamental factor in biodiversity's contribution to human health and well-being. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Urban biodiversity provides environmental, social and economic benefits, and consequently contributes to the health and well-being of people living and working in cities. However, a critical review of people-nature literature revealed no integrat... Read More about Local culture : a fundamental factor in biodiversity's contribution to human health and well-being.
