Detection and analysis of spin trapped radical adducts using thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) (2018)
Thesis
Manzoor, K. (2018). Detection and analysis of spin trapped radical adducts using thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). (Thesis). University of Salford

Certain oxygen free radicals are produced constantly in cells by metabolism and exogenous agents. Some, such as the hydroxyl radical, may react with various biomolecules like DNA, lipids or proteins, and thus be involved in the pathogenesis of var...

Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions (2018)
Thesis
Al-Mukaram, N. (in press). Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions. (Thesis). University of Salford

The current study introduces a newly developed, calibrated, and validated micro-simulation model for predicting drivers’ decisions following the onset of an amber traffic light signal under the effect of the dilemma zone where a driver can neither st...

Biomimetic deployable structures (2018)
Thesis
Fenci, G. Biomimetic deployable structures. (Thesis). University of Salford

Modern architectural designs aim at creating dynamic and flexible spaces, able to adapt to the ever-changing environment by virtue of temporary and convertible structures. Biomimetics is the applied science that, through the imitation of nature, find... Read More about Biomimetic deployable structures.

Evaluating the significance of travel plans in shaping commuting practices within the university sector in Greater Manchester (2018)
Thesis
Tang, J. (in press). Evaluating the significance of travel plans in shaping commuting practices within the university sector in Greater Manchester. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

The commute is often thought of as a mundane activity, an activity done so regularly that it fades into insignificance. Lost in the hustle and bustle of the modern city is a practice done almost daily that has the potential to significantly reduce gr...

Design performance specification for school buildings in the vicinity of gas flaring in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria (2018)
Thesis
Ogbonda, U. (in press). Design performance specification for school buildings in the vicinity of gas flaring in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is evident from research that there is a strong link between poor indoor environments, external façade of school buildings, schoolchildren’s health and academic performance. In order to provide a better indoor environment for schoolchildren, meeti...

Energy saving and reliability of wireless body area networks for health applications (2018)
Thesis
Alshaheen, H. (in press). Energy saving and reliability of wireless body area networks for health applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

A Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) consists of several biological sensors. WBSN can be employed to monitor patients’ medical conditions. Energy consumption and reliability are critical issues in WBSNs, as the nodes that are placed near the sink no...

Hide and seek : a multidisciplinary study on the ecological success of an estuarine dweller (2018)
Thesis
Siegenthaler, A. (in press). Hide and seek : a multidisciplinary study on the ecological success of an estuarine dweller. (Thesis). University of Salford

Estuaries are dynamic systems in which biotic and abiotic conditions vary remarkably. Survival in these habitats requires flexibility in dealing with these variations, which include changes in food availability and shelter opportunities. A thorough u...

Planning and optimisation of 4G/5G mobile networks and beyond (2018)
Thesis
Egena, O. Planning and optimisation of 4G/5G mobile networks and beyond. (Thesis). The University of Salford

As mobile networks continue to evolve, two major problems have always existed that greatly affect the quality of service that users experience. These problems are (1) efficient resource management for users at the edge of the network and those in a n... Read More about Planning and optimisation of 4G/5G mobile networks and beyond.
