Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer (1993)
Thesis
Razaz, M. Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer. (Thesis). University of Salford

Theoretical designs have been carried out which demonstrate the possible weight and volume reductions to be obtained when using amorphous metal in place of silicon-iron for the core material in medium frequency power transformers. The amorphous m... Read More about Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer.

Beggars can't be choosers : an ethnography of post-school transitions in a high unemployment area (1993)
Thesis
Craine, S. Beggars can't be choosers : an ethnography of post-school transitions in a high unemployment area. (Thesis). University of Salford

My thesis seeks to explore and document the processes involved in the career transitions of a specific sample of unqualified minimum age school leavers drawn from a high unemployment inner city area. The main body of data was collected ethnographic... Read More about Beggars can't be choosers : an ethnography of post-school transitions in a high unemployment area.

The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators (1993)
Thesis
Jafari Mosavi, S. The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis makes a study of the environmental impact of waste incineration and particularly of hospital waste incineration. Literature relevant to the topic is discussed. The environmental impact of the incineration process itself and the differ... Read More about The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators.

The teaching of Arabic in the Faculty of Islamic Studies in the National University of Malaysia (1993)
Thesis
Ismail, A. The teaching of Arabic in the Faculty of Islamic Studies in the National University of Malaysia. (Thesis). University of Salford

This study is concerned with the teaching and learning of Arabic as a second or a foreign language in Malaysia in general and in the Faculty of Islamic Studies of the National University of Malaysia in particular. Its main purpose is to evaluate t... Read More about The teaching of Arabic in the Faculty of Islamic Studies in the National University of Malaysia.

Disability, discrimination and equal opportunities : a comparative study of legal models addressing the employment rights of disabled persons, with particular reference to Britain and the United States (1993)
Thesis
Doyle, B. Disability, discrimination and equal opportunities : a comparative study of legal models addressing the employment rights of disabled persons, with particular reference to Britain and the United States. (Thesis). University of Salford

Against the background of growing demands in Britain for anti-discrimination legislation covering disabled persons, the study examines the case for reform, and the shape which such legislation might take, in the employment field. Using the socio-le...

Psychiatric morbidity in older people with moderate and severe learning disability (mental retardation). Part I: development and reliability of the patient interview (the PAS-ADD) (1993)
Journal Article
Moss, S., Patel, P., Prosser, H., & Goldberg, D. (1993). Psychiatric morbidity in older people with moderate and severe learning disability (mental retardation). Part I: development and reliability of the patient interview (the PAS-ADD). British Journal of Psychiatry, 163(4), 471-480. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.163.4.471

This paper describes the development of the PAS-ADD, a semistructured clinical interview for use specifically with patients with learning disabilities, based on items drawn from the PSE. The PAS-ADD includes a number of novel features including: para... Read More about Psychiatric morbidity in older people with moderate and severe learning disability (mental retardation).

Spatial grid symmetries and reduced models in the simulation of beam counterpropagation in a nonlinear medium (1993)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1993). Spatial grid symmetries and reduced models in the simulation of beam counterpropagation in a nonlinear medium. Journal of Modern Optics, 40(1), 23-32. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349314550041

In the context of the nonlinear interaction of counterpropagating light beams, we demonstrate the unrealistic symmetries that arise in the simulation of spontaneous pattern formation when using square computational grids. We have formulated a general... Read More about Spatial grid symmetries and reduced models in the simulation of beam counterpropagation in a nonlinear medium.

The development of British strategic area bombing 1918-1945 : a study in theory and practice (1993)
Thesis
Knott, S. The development of British strategic area bombing 1918-1945 : a study in theory and practice. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis contends that it is only by studying the many issues around which the doctrine of strategic bombing developed during the inter-war period that an attempt can be made to achieve a clear understanding of the controversial character of th...
