CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model (1998)
Thesis
Che Wan Putra, C. CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model. (Thesis). University of Salford

Construction is a process, which involves diverse parties having different
professional skills and interest. At present, the co-operation and information exchange
between parties involved in any construction has not yet been attained. During a proj... Read More about CAPE construction application protocol for data transfer : a building data model.

The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality (1998)
Thesis
Hoxley, M. The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is less than fifteen years since the associations representing construction
professionals in the UK surrendered to Government pressure, and abolished
mandatory fee scales, predicting as they did so that abolition would inevitably
lead to a decl... Read More about The impact of competitive fee tendering on construction professional service quality.

Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations (1998)
Thesis
Uzam, M. Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations. (Thesis). University of Salford

The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in computer technology, which in
return, has found widespread applications in manufacturing systems, communication
networks, robots etc. Such systems are called Discrete Event Systems (DESs), in whic... Read More about Petri-net-based supervisory control of discrete event systems and their ladder logic diagram implementations.

Page segmentation using the description of the background (1998)
Journal Article
Antonacopoulos, A. (1998). Page segmentation using the description of the background. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 70(3), 350-369. https://doi.org/10.1006/cviu.1998.0691

There is an ever increasing number of publications which do not have the “traditional” layout where printed regions are rectangu- lar. Text paragraphs and areas of graphic type may be of any shape, individually rotated and in any arrangement. Previou... Read More about Page segmentation using the description of the background.

Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation (1998)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., Chan, Y., New, G., Losev, L., & Lutsenko, A. (1998). Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of Modern Optics, 45(6), 1099-1110. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349808230901

We investigate the extent to which the Raman generation of ultrabroad-band light will be affected by nonlinear competing processes. The model equations are generalized to incorporate an off-axis competing signal and a quantitative study is undertaken...

Non-paraxial solitons (1998)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (1998). Non-paraxial solitons. Journal of Modern Optics, 45(6), 1111-1121. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349808230902

In this paper, we propose the use of ultranarrow soliton beams in miniaturized nonlinear optical devices. We derive a nonparaxial nonlinear Schrödinger equation and show that it has an exact non-paraxial soliton solution from which the paraxial solit... Read More about Non-paraxial solitons.

Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective (1998)
Thesis
Ellerker, S. Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The business market of today is much more complex than it has ever been before,
making it much more difficult for businesses to not only enter the market place, but to
also survive and compete successfully against rival firms. The relatively recent... Read More about Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective.

Continuous change, process and performance improvement: A holistic systems perspective. (1998)
Thesis
Ellerker, S. Continuous change, process and performance improvement: A holistic systems perspective. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This booklet contains information that is organised in such a way as to provide an
overview of the implementation program, an overview of the "hierarchy" and
interactions of the teams used to implement, manage and sustain change and continuous... Read More about Continuous change, process and performance improvement: A holistic systems perspective..

Functional interaction : diagnosing interface relationships in new product development (1998)
Thesis
Jones, T. Functional interaction : diagnosing interface relationships in new product development. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis describes the development of a diagnostic tool to identify potential weaknesses in the
interfaces between the key functions involved in new product development within manufacturing
organisations. It comprises three parts:
Part One intr... Read More about Functional interaction : diagnosing interface relationships in new product development.

Urban waste management : the potential of household refuse for use in food and fuel production in Nairobi (1998)
Thesis
Njenga, B. Urban waste management : the potential of household refuse for use in food and fuel production in Nairobi. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Urban waste management poses problems in all cities of the world, but it also provides
opportunities for innovative resource use. The Thesis begins by defining the waste
management problem of Nairobi in context and then analytically reviews the
in... Read More about Urban waste management : the potential of household refuse for use in food and fuel production in Nairobi.

A low speed wind energy conversion for home system in a developing country : design, technology and policies for rural electrification in Indonesia (1998)
Thesis
Chandrasa, G. A low speed wind energy conversion for home system in a developing country : design, technology and policies for rural electrification in Indonesia. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Wind energy is a fascinating natural phenomenon that is interesting to study as, due
to unpredictability it can either be a friend or cause disasters. However, with experience and
through technology it can be tamed to become useful and have a direc... Read More about A low speed wind energy conversion for home system in a developing country : design, technology and policies for rural electrification in Indonesia.
