Knowledge discovery in temporal databases (1995)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., & Theodoulidis, B. (1995, February). Knowledge discovery in temporal databases. Presented at IEE Colloquium on Knowledge Discovery in Databases, London, UK

Knowledge discovery in databases is the process of applying statistical, machine learning and other techniques to conventional database systems. Our survey in knowledge discovery systems has indicated that up to date there is no knowledge discovery s... Read More about Knowledge discovery in temporal databases.

Bootstrap methods and parameter estimation in time series threshold modelling (1995)
Thesis
Mekaiel, M. Bootstrap methods and parameter estimation in time series threshold modelling. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aim of this thesis is to investigate of bootstrap methods (Efron, 1979), in the the performance estimation of parameter estimates in non-linear time series models, in particular SETAR models (Tong, 1993). First and higher order SETAR models in kn... Read More about Bootstrap methods and parameter estimation in time series threshold modelling.

Probable maximum flooding using quantitative weather radar (1995)
Thesis
Austin, B. Probable maximum flooding using quantitative weather radar. (Thesis). University of Salford

Reservoir spillways are designed to pass extreme flood events without significant damage. For Category A dams in the UK (whereby a breach will endanger lives in a community), designs are based on the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) arising from the crit...

Academic referencing of Internet-based resources (1995)
Journal Article
Fletcher, G., & Greenhill, A. (1995). Academic referencing of Internet-based resources. Australian Library Journal, 44(4), 177-187. https://doi.org/10.1080/00049670.1995.10755721

The rapid growth of the Internet has outstripped conventions for citing material from that source. Distinguishing material as a [computer file] does not provide sufficient information about the platform necessary for reading it. The URL provides usef...

Growth and characterisation of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films for solar cell applications (1995)
Thesis
Ahmad, E. Growth and characterisation of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films for solar cell applications. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The development of low cost, efficient photovoltaic devices is a major technological challenge which demands suitable materials and fabrication processes. Thin film
polycrystalline heterojunction solar cells appear to be most appropriate with respec... Read More about Growth and characterisation of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films for solar cell applications.

Structure and dynamics of central European amphibian populations: A comparison between Triturus dobrogicus (Amphibia, Urodela) and Pelobates fuscus (Amphibia, Anura) (1995)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., Hodl, W., & Thonke, A. (1995). Structure and dynamics of central European amphibian populations: A comparison between Triturus dobrogicus (Amphibia, Urodela) and Pelobates fuscus (Amphibia, Anura). Australian journal of ecology, 20, 362-366

During a long-term study of the amphibian fauna on an artificial island near Vienna (Austria), one isolated site was completely encircled with a permanent drift fence and pitfall traps. Eleven amphibian species occurred at the study site. For the Com...

A simple condition monitoring model for a direct monitoring process (1995)
Journal Article
for a direct monitoring process. European Journal of Operational Research, 82, 258-269

This paper addresses the problem of condition monitoring of a component which has available a measure of
condition called wear. Wear accumulates over time and monitoring inspections are performed at chosen times to
monitor and measure the cumulativ... Read More about A simple condition monitoring model for a direct monitoring process.

The NEC and the culture of the industry: some early findings regarding possible sources of resistance to change (1995)
Journal Article

The image of Africa as the 'dark continent' predates the beginning of colonial penetration by many centuries. This paper traces these notions through sources such as the Bible, medieval travel fiction and legends of fabulous wealth. It is argued that...
