Concern-based specification and runtime verification of declarative process models (2011)
Thesis
Montague, S. Concern-based specification and runtime verification of declarative process models. (Thesis). Salford: University of Salford

An organisation has a number of business processes that when carried out achieve its business goals. A business process defines a specific ordering of activities.

A transmission electron microscopy study of the effects of helium irradiation on polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon (2011)
Thesis
Abrams, K. A transmission electron microscopy study of the effects of helium irradiation on polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work is a fundamental study of the effects of helium (He) implantation into polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si). Following implantation, He interaction and vacancy agglomeration lead to the nucleation of bubbles. Recent scientific literature cont...

Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections (2011)
Thesis
Al-Jameel, H. Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Weaving sections have proved to cause bottlenecks on motorways because of the relatively frequent lane changes in these sections. The use of analytical models in assessing weaving section capacity (such as those suggested by the Highway Capacity Ma...

The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP (2011)
Thesis
Al-Juboori, W. The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A recent innovation for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is to externally bond Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite plates or strips. This technique has become popular because of the many... Read More about The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP.

The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows (2011)
Thesis
Allison, S. The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows. (Thesis). University of Salford

A series of compressor blades, aligned as a cascade, situated in a transonic flow has been studied using a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. An objective of the research was to discover, using a CFD code, how the total a... Read More about The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows.
