The collaborative risk assessment environment in disaster management (2015)
Thesis
Alzahmi, M. (in press). The collaborative risk assessment environment in disaster management. (Thesis). University Of Salford

In the past century the occurrence of natural disasters and man-made disasters have steadily increased with a significant loss of life, damage caused to infrastructure and property, and destruction of the environment. There is much evidence that natu... Read More about The collaborative risk assessment environment in disaster management.

Analysis of NEIL3 expression : a possible resistance factor to cancer chemotherapy in paediatric cancer cells (2015)
Thesis
Duweb, A. (in press). Analysis of NEIL3 expression : a possible resistance factor to cancer chemotherapy in paediatric cancer cells. (Dissertation). Enviroment and Life Science

NEIL3 is the largest of three homologs of the bacterial Nei protein in mammalian cells. It has been shown to have DNA glycosylase activity in vitro, excising oxidised purine and pyrimidine bases from both single- and double-stranded DNA. Additionally...

Investigating factors affecting software maintenance in e-commerce companies in Jordan (2015)
Thesis
Salameen, R. (in press). Investigating factors affecting software maintenance in e-commerce companies in Jordan. (Thesis). University of Salford

The most costly phase in the software life cycle is the software maintenance phase. It consumes between 40% and 90% of a software project’s budget. Software applications play an important role in e-commerce companies and the significance of software...

A technique to enable the tracking of people for domestic energy monitoring applications (2015)
Thesis
Hughes, T. (in press). A technique to enable the tracking of people for domestic energy monitoring applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Domestic energy consumption has increasingly become a cause for concern for governments, energy suppliers, and individual householders. Issues surrounding gas and electricity used in the home relate to the increasing cost of fuel, the rise in the in...

A novel technique for measuring and sensing rain (2015)
Thesis
Kundgol, A. (in press). A novel technique for measuring and sensing rain. (Thesis). University of Salford

Rainfall passing over a given area is a highly dynamic process; it changes constantly in form and intensity. It varies constantly on short spatial and temporal scales that makes real time measurements of the amount of rainfall challenging. Measuring...

Computational studies of hydrogen in palladium (2015)
Thesis
Robinson, I. Computational studies of hydrogen in palladium. (Thesis). University of Salford

A series of Monte-Carlo investigations on the Palladium Hydrogen system are presented. It is demonstrated that a simple long-range concentration-dependent attractive force reproduces the form of the pressure-composition isotherms well. Short range...

Development of novel heterocyclic compounds as vascular targeting agents (2015)
Thesis
Killoran, P. Development of novel heterocyclic compounds as vascular targeting agents. (Thesis)

In chapter one the biology of cancer is introduced along with a brief history of drug treatment and the status quo of cancer therapeutics. This includes a general overview of cancer prevalence, carcinogenesis, and biochemistry. The main targets for c...

Glucocorticoid resistance in COPD patients and lung cancer (2015)
Thesis
Almusrati, W. (in press). Glucocorticoid resistance in COPD patients and lung cancer. (Dissertation). University of Salford

COPD is linked to inflammatory mediators that orchestrate the disease progression, mainly in the small airways and in parenchymal tissue. Inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines and oxygen free radicals, orchestrate the inflammatory res... Read More about Glucocorticoid resistance in COPD patients and lung cancer.
