Risk-sensitive foraging in bitterlings Rhodeus sericus: effects of food requirement and breeding site quality (1990)
Journal Article
Young, R., Clayton, H., & Barnard, C. (1990). Risk-sensitive foraging in bitterlings Rhodeus sericus: effects of food requirement and breeding site quality. Animal Behaviour, 40(2), 288-297. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-3472%2805%2980923-6

Risk-sensitive foraging preferences in bitterlings were examined in relation to changing food deprivation and intake relative to estimated requirement. When running above estimated requirement and presented with a choice of constant and variable feed...

Spatial solitary-wave optical memory (1990)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1990). Spatial solitary-wave optical memory. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 7(7), 1328-1335. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.7.001328

We consider some features of spatial solitary-wave switching in a unidirectional ring cavity that is partially filled with a fast and saturably self-focusing nonlinear medium. Large (part-beam switched) solitary arrays are considered. It is found tha... Read More about Spatial solitary-wave optical memory.

MOCVD of tin oxide for gas sensors (1990)
Thesis
Weglicki, P. MOCVD of tin oxide for gas sensors. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Thin films of a wide variety of materials can be produced using an assortment of physical and chemical techniques. Such techniques are reviewed and compared, with particular reference to the deposition of tin oxide films. In the present study, MOCVD... Read More about MOCVD of tin oxide for gas sensors.

Numerical modelling of jet-forced circulation in reservoirs using boundary-fitted coordinate systems (1990)
Thesis
Barber, R. Numerical modelling of jet-forced circulation in reservoirs using boundary-fitted coordinate systems. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Throughout the past decade, interest has grown in the use of boundary-fitted coordinate systems in many areas of computational fluid dynamics. The boundary-fitted technique provides an exact method of implementing finite-difference numerical schemes...

The analysis of sandwich beams and plates (1990)
Thesis
Abdel-Khalik, M. The analysis of sandwich beams and plates. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is concerned with the linear and non-linear bending analysis of sandwich beams and plates with flexible cores and thick or profiled metal faces. the project commences with a review of previous work in structural aspects of sandwich constr...

All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator (1990)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1990). All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator. Journal of Modern Optics, 37(4), 613-626. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349014550701

In this paper we consider some features of all-optical switching in a unidirectional ring cavity which is partially filled with a fast and saturably nonlinear medium. A comparative study of cross-talk for both signs of nonlinearity, in a two pixel (w... Read More about All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator.

The measurement of muscle strength in allergic response (1990)
Thesis
Al Hamdani, A. The measurement of muscle strength in allergic response. (Thesis). University of Salford

The purpose of this thesis was to show a relationship between muscle strength and allergic reactions. Clinics have for many years relied on what have become traditional methods for testing for allergic reactions. These include such tests as the P...

Gandhi and deep ecology : experiencing the nonhuman environment (1990)
Thesis
Power, S. Gandhi and deep ecology : experiencing the nonhuman environment. (Thesis). University of Salford

The present study concentrates on the experience of nature in the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi. This detailed environmental biography of Gandhi follows him from the early years in India, through his years in England as a young man and on to South A...

An experimental study of heat driven absorption cooling systems (1990)
Thesis
Best Y Brown, R. An experimental study of heat driven absorption cooling systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

The great need for cooling combined with Mexico's large availability of low enthalpy energy from non conventional energy resources such as geothermal energy, solar heat and waste heat from industrial processes, makes it very attractive to utilize...

Active control of V/STOL aircraft (1990)
Thesis
Hopper, D. Active control of V/STOL aircraft. (Thesis). University of Salford

Vertical/Short Take-Off arid Landing (V/STOL) fighter aircraft are characterised by increased control complexity caused by the extra degree ol freedom. This can result in a high pilot workload which may be alleviated with the careful application o... Read More about Active control of V/STOL aircraft.

Subsonic intake duct flows (1990)
Thesis
Ho, S. Subsonic intake duct flows. (Thesis). University of Salford

Here both S-shaped and singly curved (here classified as S-shaped) duct diffusers for intakes in aeronautical propulsion systems are studied. The results are applicable in other situations where similar ducts occur; for example on V/STOL aircraft emp... Read More about Subsonic intake duct flows.
