A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM (2014)
Thesis
Sattineni, A. A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM. (Thesis). University of Salford, College of Science and Technology

Supervision of construction workers on a site is crucial to ensure construction worker safety, to maintain the quality of work performed and to maintain acceptable levels of productivity. The act of supervision itself requires the site superintendent... Read More about A decision support framework for site safety monitoring using RFID and BIM.

Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure (2014)
Thesis
Sica, G. Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental issues surrounding railway operation and construction have become more prominent in recent years, increasing the need for administrators and researchers to understand how residents living around railways respond to the noise and vibrati...

The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC (2014)
Thesis
Pawley, C. The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC. (Thesis). University of Salford

SiC is a material currently under consideration to be used in future generations of fission and fusion reactors where it will be subjected to high temperatures and significant fluxes of energetic neutrons. The work reported in this thesis aims to ans... Read More about The use of in-situ ion-irradiation/TEM techniques to study radiation damage in SiC.

A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time (2014)
Thesis
Hodgkinson, T. A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time. (Thesis). University of Salford

General Relativity (GR) is Einsteins' theory of gravity whereby the motions of bodies are explained due to their following geodesic paths (the shortest distance between two points) in a curved four dimensional space-time. The curvature being attri... Read More about A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time.

Busting taboos : using idiomatic and linguistic subtleties in undressing questions of sociocultural amorality in Malaysian cinema (2014)
Thesis
Dalan, R. Busting taboos : using idiomatic and linguistic subtleties in undressing questions of sociocultural amorality in Malaysian cinema. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research aims to investigate how sociocultural amorality has been portrayed in Malaysian films, and how can these taboos be alternatively portrayed cinematically to a Malaysian audience. Questions as to why Malaysian (mainstream) cinema is seemi...
