Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature (2013)
Thesis
Smith, D. Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature. (Thesis). University of Salford

Social-ecological systems describe interactions between humans and nature. The ecosystem approach provides a holistic system to manage and understand these interactions, and to maintain and enhance ecosystem services - the benefits nature provides to...

The use of genetic markers to reveal dynamic processes in a common toad (Bufo Bufo) population (2013)
Thesis
Coles, R. The use of genetic markers to reveal dynamic processes in a common toad (Bufo Bufo) population. (Thesis). University of Salford

In contrast to birds and mammals for example, amphibian population studies only rarely capture information based on genealogical relationships among individuals. As a consequence, we only have very limited knowledge about individual fitness measures...

Improving the Libyan customers' trust and acceptance for online banking technology (2013)
Thesis
Mohamed, A. Improving the Libyan customers' trust and acceptance for online banking technology. (Thesis). University of Salford

The technology of online banking for customers refers to several types of banking activities through which bank customers can get information and carry out most retail banking services. Libyan banks continue to conduct most of their banking transacti... Read More about Improving the Libyan customers' trust and acceptance for online banking technology.

From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms (2013)
Thesis
Sheaffer, J. From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms. (Thesis). University of Salford

Human localisation of sound in enclosed spaces is a cross-disciplinary research topic, with important applications in auditory science, room acoustics, spatial audio and telecommunications. By combining an accelerated model of $3$D sound propagation... Read More about From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms.

The analysis and improvement of focused source reproduction with wave field synthesis (2013)
Thesis
Oldfield, R. The analysis and improvement of focused source reproduction with wave field synthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis presents a treatise on the rendering of focused sources using wave field synthesis (WFS). The thesis describes the fundamental theory of WFS and presents a thorough derivation of focused source driving functions including, monopoles, dipo...

Developing a construction management system based on lean construction and building information modelling (2013)
Thesis
Dave, B. Developing a construction management system based on lean construction and building information modelling. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research aims at improving construction management through simultaneous implementation of Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling. Specifically, the area of production management and control is addressed by developing a prototype so...

An extension to thin aerofoil theory obtained by using eulerlets and oseenlets (2013)
Thesis
Kapoulas, A. An extension to thin aerofoil theory obtained by using eulerlets and oseenlets. (Thesis). University of Salford

An extension and theoretical underpinning of thin aerofoil theory is given. To enable this requires first a novel mathematical representation for a new matched asymptotic approach. The new matched asymptotic approach is to match near - field Euler... Read More about An extension to thin aerofoil theory obtained by using eulerlets and oseenlets.
