Methodology for assessment of cognitive skills in virtual environments (2001)
Thesis
Pawlik, S. Methodology for assessment of cognitive skills in virtual environments. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The client briefing of the proposed building design is usually in the form of drawings and artistic impressions being presented to the client. However, very few clients are able to read a technical drawing and the artist impressions are limited and... Read More about Methodology for assessment of cognitive skills in virtual environments.

Static and dynamic correlation in lattice gas systems : an application to the intermetallic hydride ZrV2Hx (2001)
Thesis
Bull, D. Static and dynamic correlation in lattice gas systems : an application to the intermetallic hydride ZrV2Hx. (Thesis). University of Salford

CRT, a Monte Carlo program for the simulation of particle diffusion on a lattice gas is presented. The particle transition probability is calculated as a function of three parameters: lattice site energies, inter-particle interactions and neighbour...
