Ultra-broadband frequency generation in a cavity confined Raman medium
Thesis
Rose, C. Ultra-broadband frequency generation in a cavity confined Raman medium. (Thesis). University of Salford

Throughout the past few decades, science has progressed towards the ability to probe many extremely fast processes and a large amount of research has been aimed at the area of few-femtosecond pulse generation. This thesis describes the generation of... Read More about Ultra-broadband frequency generation in a cavity confined Raman medium.

Social behaviour and personality assessment as a tool for improving the management of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in captivity
Thesis
Chadwick, C. Social behaviour and personality assessment as a tool for improving the management of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) in captivity. (Thesis). University of Salford

The wild cheetah population is rapidly declining, and the captive population is not self-sustaining. This is of great concern for cheetah conservation and the latter might indicate underlying captive welfare concerns. This research measured the behav...

A first-principles investigation on substitutions in the carbon allotropes glitter and graphene
Thesis
Baldissin, G. A first-principles investigation on substitutions in the carbon allotropes glitter and graphene. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the literature, a number of syntheses of carbon materials under extreme condition exhibit the presence of a carbon phase, called n-diamond, whose crystal structure remains unclear. Several crystallographic arrangements have been proposed, which... Read More about A first-principles investigation on substitutions in the carbon allotropes glitter and graphene.

The causal factors of interpersonal conflict in the Libyan cement industry
Thesis
Elmagri, M. The causal factors of interpersonal conflict in the Libyan cement industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Organisations are becoming more complex and diverse in responding to globalisation and to internal and external changes, and this complexity makes them more vulnerable to different types of organisational conflict. One study stated that Libyan Cement... Read More about The causal factors of interpersonal conflict in the Libyan cement industry.

Multiple motor-unit muscle models for the design of FES systems
Thesis
Hamouda, A. Multiple motor-unit muscle models for the design of FES systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Many functional electrical stimulation (FES) controllers have been developed using a simulation approach, the performance of these controllers depends on the muscle model accuracy. Realistic models of neuro-musculoskeletal systems can provide a safe... Read More about Multiple motor-unit muscle models for the design of FES systems.
