Design of high-performance tracking systems for multivariable plants with explicit actuator and sensor dynamics (1987)
Thesis
Manganas, T. Design of high-performance tracking systems for multivariable plants with explicit actuator and sensor dynamics. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The problems created by the presence of finite actuators and sensors in the control of linear multivariable systems are well known. These problems, which are particularly evident when high-gain or fast-sampling control is used, are usually the cau...

A computational treatment of incompressible flow through screens (1987)
Thesis
Abdelhameed, A. A computational treatment of incompressible flow through screens. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A numerical treatment of the full equations of the flow of an inviscid incompressible fluid through a shaped gauze-screen in two-dimensional and axisymmetric ducts is presented. The method although inviscid is aimed at the treatment of high Reynolds... Read More about A computational treatment of incompressible flow through screens.

The transport system of medieval England and Wales : a geographical synthesis (1987)
Thesis
Edwards, J. The transport system of medieval England and Wales : a geographical synthesis. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is concerned with attempting to reconstruct the transport system of medieval England and Wales. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first is an introduction which seeks to justify the research and to place it in the context of... Read More about The transport system of medieval England and Wales : a geographical synthesis.

This paper explores the learning styles, perception and cultural biases exhibited by architectual designers. Developing from a need for better information transfer, an awareness of designers' selective information requirement is elucidated. Based upo...
