From English to formal specifications (1994)
Thesis
Meziane, F. From English to formal specifications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Specifications provide the foundation upon which a system can be formally developed. If a specification is wrong, then no matter what method of design is used, or what quality assurance procedures are in place, they will not result in a system that...

Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications (1994)
Thesis
Ellams, P. Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

Conventional 'hard switching' converters suffer from significant switching loss due to the simultaneous imposition of high values of current and voltage on the devices during commutation. Resonant converters offer a solution to this problem. A revi... Read More about Resonant DC link converters and their use in rail traction applications.

The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding (1994)
Thesis
Drew, D. The effect of contract type and size on competitiveness in construction contract bidding. (Thesis). University of Salford

Flanagan and Norman (1982b) examined the bidding performances of three contractors. In developing this study, the aim of this research is to demonstrate through statistical modelling that, in terms of competitiveness, competing contractors are inf...

Privatization and development : insights from a holistic approach with special reference to the case of Jordan (1994)
Thesis
Abdul Rahim Abu Shair, O. Privatization and development : insights from a holistic approach with special reference to the case of Jordan. (Thesis). University of Salford

After three decades of state intervention throughout the world the 1980s and 1990s have seen a marked reversal. Instead of government control and centralized planning there has been a renewed emphasis on market-oriented strategy. Privatization co...

The active control of acoustic impedance (1994)
Thesis
Nicholson, G. The active control of acoustic impedance. (Thesis). University of Salford

The application of an active control force on a thin-walled acoustic boundary can modify the motional dynamics, and so influence the impedance presented to incident waves. This impedance determines transmission of acoustic energy, reflection of ac... Read More about The active control of acoustic impedance.
