Southern expansion of the geographical distribution of Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus (1993)
Journal Article
Boubli, J. (1993). Southern expansion of the geographical distribution of Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus. International Journal of Primatology, 14(6), 933-937. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02220262

Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus, a subspecies of black uakari, was thought to be restricted to southern Venezuela. Observations of two groups of them in Pico da Neblina National Park, Brazil, suggest that its distribution should be extended to...

Journal Article
Saitowitz, S., Seemann, U., & Hall, M. (1993). The development of Cape Town's waterfront in the earlier nineteenth century: history and archaeology of the North Wharf

In 1836, prominent shipowners, merchants and others concerned with the commerce of the Cape Colony and the safety of passengers and crews of ships, petitioned Governments to improve maritime conditions in Table Bay. This action resulted in approval f... Read More about The development of Cape Town's waterfront in the earlier nineteenth century: history and archaeology of the North Wharf.

Switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels (1993)
Journal Article

Separatrices and scaling laws in the switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels are investigated. We show that the dynamics in the full model are similar to those in the plane-wave limit. Switching features may be indicated and explained by t... Read More about Switching dynamics of spatial solitary wave pixels.

Thesis
Dai, J. Screw image space and its application to robotic grasping. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is devoted to the study and extension of screw image space and its application to kinematic restraint and robotic grasping. In the study of restraint and robotic grasping, problems arise in relation to how to map the conditions and requir... Read More about Screw image space and its application to robotic grasping.

The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers (1993)
Thesis
Onuoha, A. The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is an intricate relationship between water quantity and quality, development, human health and welfare, and aquatic life. Water availability is, however, variable in location and time. The increase in human populations and various anthropo... Read More about The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers.

Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment (1993)
Journal Article
Davies, W., Lam, Y., & Orlowski, R. (1993). Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 93(4), 2238-2240. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.406687

The relationship between the measured acoustic absorption coefficient of an array of theater chairs and the ratio of the perimeter length to plan area of the array is considered. It is shown that the linear relationship measured by Bradley in a rever... Read More about Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment.

A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments (1993)
Thesis
Wedgwood, O. A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis describes research in to flood forecasting on rapid response catchments, using knowledge based principles. Extensive use was made of high resolution single site radar data from the radar site at Hameldon Hill in North West England. Actual...

Exploring the processes of action learning in the National Health Service : dilemmas and paradoxes of evaluation (1993)
Thesis
Botham, D. Exploring the processes of action learning in the National Health Service : dilemmas and paradoxes of evaluation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Action Learning has become one of the most important processes for accelerating change and development to emerge in the National Health Service within the last few years. This thesis is concerned with an exploration of action learning through a...

An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace (1993)
Thesis
Massey, J. An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis investigates the heat transfer involved in the heating of wire in an Electrically-Heated Tubular Strand Annealing Furnace. The fundamental concepts of the furnace are explained, followed by the rationale behind the basic design of the fur...

On the syntactic derivation of negative sentence adverbials (1993)
Journal Article
Rowlett, P. (1993). On the syntactic derivation of negative sentence adverbials. Journal of French Language Studies, 3(1), 39-69. https://doi.org/10.1017/S095926950000034X

We consider recent Government-Binding work on sentential negation, e.g. by Pollock, and evaluate a fundamental assumption made about the syntax of negative clauses. While accepting that ne is generated as the head of NegP, we reject the dual claim t... Read More about On the syntactic derivation of negative sentence adverbials.

Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay (1993)
Thesis
Wilkin, D. Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Foundations to buildings which fail, are frequently underpinned and since 1971 when house insurers began to offer cover for damage due to "subsidence", the underpinning industry has grown to enjoy a multi-million pound turnover. Much of England sou... Read More about Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay.
