Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications (1994)
Thesis
Ellams, P. Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Conventional 'hard switching' converters suffer from significant switching loss due to the
simultaneous imposition of high values of current and voltage on the devices during commutation.
Resonant converters offer a solution to this problem. A revi... Read More about Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications.

The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding (1994)
Thesis
Drew, D. The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding. (Thesis). University of Salford

Flanagan and Norman (1982b) examined the bidding performances of three
contractors. In developing this study, the aim of this research is to demonstrate
through statistical modelling that, in terms of competitiveness, competing
contractors are inf... Read More about The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding.

Management education and training for refurbishment work within the construction industry (1994)
Thesis
Egbu, C. Management education and training for refurbishment work within the construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The study is concerned with the management of refurbishment work within the UK
construction industry, from a contractors' perspective. It investigates the main
difficulties and problems which managers face in refurbishment work, together with
the... Read More about Management education and training for refurbishment work within the construction industry.

The active control of acoustic impedance (1994)
Thesis
Nicholson, G. The active control of acoustic impedance. (Thesis). University of Salford

The application of an active control force on a thin-walled acoustic boundary
can modify the motional dynamics, and so influence the impedance presented
to incident waves. This impedance determines transmission of acoustic
energy, reflection of ac... Read More about The active control of acoustic impedance.

Contracting-out in a facilities management context : an investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of contracting-out as experienced by user organisations, and the influence such factors exert in determining whether facilities management services are resourced in-house or externally (1994)
Thesis
Owen, D. Contracting-out in a facilities management context : an investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of contracting-out as experienced by user organisations, and the influence such factors exert in determining whether facilities management services are resourced in-house or externally. (Thesis). University of Salford

The field of study for this research project is a recently
established and rapidly evolving business concept,
Facilities Management (FM).
The focal theory for this project concerns the
effectiveness of a tactic increasingly adopted by
organisati...

Utilisation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Technique in assessment of impact of human interference on natural ecology of estuaries : a case study of Mersey estuary (1994)
Thesis
Aliero, B. Utilisation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Technique in assessment of impact of human interference on natural ecology of estuaries : a case study of Mersey estuary. (Thesis). University of Salford

A Conceptual study of the impacts of human activities on the
natural ecology of estuaries was carried out. The Mersey Estuary
was used as a case study. Environmental Impact Assessment
Techniques (EIA) was used to identify and evaluate impacts
gen... Read More about Utilisation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Technique in assessment of impact of human interference on natural ecology of estuaries : a case study of Mersey estuary.

Interaction between professionals and researchers: Creating research synergies (1994)
Journal Article
Creating research synergies. European Journal of Engineering Education, 19(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/03043799408923313

This paper treats as an innovation the creation of a postgraduate programme of
research which acts as a focus for industrial collaboration. The idea, the networks created and
the launch of the programme are described. Lessons from experience are re... Read More about Interaction between professionals and researchers: Creating research synergies.
