Sustainable built environments and construction activity through dynamic research agendas (2000)
Thesis
Sexton, M. Sustainable built environments and construction activity through dynamic research agendas. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is a growing consensus that appropriate strategies and actions are needed to
develop sustainable built environments and construction activity. This thesis
contextualises this consensus within the broader sustainable development literature.

Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces (2000)
Thesis
Hargreaves, T. Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

This project concerns quantifying the diffuseness of sound reflections from
surfaces by means of a diffusion coefficient. Afthough it is now acknowledged that
diffuse reflections are important in determining sound fields within rooms, no
standardi... Read More about Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces.

The active control of low frequency room modes (2000)
Thesis
Avis, M. The active control of low frequency room modes. (Thesis). University of Salford

The normal modes of an enclosed sound field introduce spatial, time and frequency domain
artefacts to signals reproduced in such an environment, such that undesirable colouration
of these signals may be perceived. Modal density with respect to freq... Read More about The active control of low frequency room modes.

Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons (2000)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons. Journal of Modern Optics, 47(11), 1877-1886. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340008232440

We present an analysis and simulation of the non-paraxial nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Exact general relations describing energy flow conservation and transformation invariance are reported, and then explained on physical grounds. New instabiliti...

Colour and space : an analysis of the relationships between colour meaning expression and the perception of space (2000)
Thesis
Durao, M. Colour and space : an analysis of the relationships between colour meaning expression and the perception of space. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis examines the phenomenon of colour as a means of expression of meaning in spatial contexts.
The nature of the underpinning project involved paintings and their integration with an architectural setting. Judgements made-in-situ by users of... Read More about Colour and space : an analysis of the relationships between colour meaning expression and the perception of space.

GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction (2000)
Thesis
Goulding, J. GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Construction organisations are increasingly focussing their energies, resources,
and aspirations to the development of strategy. In this context, information
technology (IT) is progressively being used as a core tool and enabler of the
business st... Read More about GAPP-IT : a generic IT training model for construction.

A multi-disciplinary optimisation model for passenger aircraft wing structures with manufacturing and cost considerations (2000)
Thesis

In traditional aircraft wing structural design, the emphasis has been on pursuing the
minimum weight or improved performance. The manufacturing complexity or cost
assessments are rarely considered because it is usually... Read More about A multi-disciplinary optimisation model for passenger aircraft wing structures with manufacturing and cost considerations.

Multi-aspectual knowledge elicitation (2000)
Thesis

This work examines one of the major stumbling blocks of knowledge based systems
development, namely knowledge elicitation. The challenge is a fundamental one of
eliciting knowledge from domain experts including tacit knowledge.
