Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures (2000)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, T., Cox, T., Lam, Y., & D'Antonio, P. (2000). Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.1310192

A surface diffusion coefficient is needed in room acoustics to enable the quality of diffusing surfaces to be evaluated. It may also facilitate more accurate geometric room acoustic models. This paper concentrates on diffusion coefficients derived fr... Read More about Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures.

From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber (2000)
Journal Article
Wu, T., Cox, T., & Lam, Y. (2000). From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 108(2), 643-650. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.429596

The quadratic residue diffuser was originally designed for enhanced scattering. Subsequently, however, it has been found that these diffusers can also be designed to produce exceptional absorption. This paper looks into the absorption mechanism of th... Read More about From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber.

Sustainable built environments and construction activity through dynamic research agendas (2000)
Thesis
Sexton, M. Sustainable built environments and construction activity through dynamic research agendas. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is a growing consensus that appropriate strategies and actions are needed to develop sustainable built environments and construction activity. This thesis contextualises this consensus within the broader sustainable development literature. F...

Communication across the divide : an investigation into the beliefs and behaviours of IS academics with respect to the dissemination of their work (2000)
Thesis
Nevill, N. Communication across the divide : an investigation into the beliefs and behaviours of IS academics with respect to the dissemination of their work. (Thesis). University of Salford

The IS field prides itself on its closeness to practice and, in recent years, has found itself under growing pressures from government and business for the improved utilisation of research results. This thesis is concerned with the beliefs and beha...

Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces (2000)
Thesis
Hargreaves, T. Acoustic diffusion and scattering coefficients for room surfaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

This project concerns quantifying the diffuseness of sound reflections from surfaces by means of a diffusion coefficient. Afthough it is now acknowledged that diffuse reflections are important in determining sound fields within rooms, no standardi...

Movement loci of selected points on the femoral head for individual total hip arthroplasty patients using three-dimensional computer simulation (2000)
Journal Article
Bennett, D., Orr, J., & Baker, R. (2000). Movement loci of selected points on the femoral head for individual total hip arthroplasty patients using three-dimensional computer simulation. Journal of Arthroplasty, 15(7), 909-915. https://doi.org/10.1054/arth.2000.9195

Wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and the subsequent adverse tissue reaction to the wear particles has been cited as the predominant problem affecting total joint arthroplasties. Wear of the UHMWPE acetabular cup in total hip...

This study assessed the variability of six goniometric measurements commonly used in the assessment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Three experienced paediatric physiotherapists recorded three consecutive measurements of six joint ranges from 1...

New parties, new media: Italian party politics and the Internet (2000)
Journal Article
Gibson, R., Newell, J., & Ward, S. (2000). New parties, new media: Italian party politics and the Internet. South European Society and Politics, 5(1), 123-136. https://doi.org/10.1080/13608740508539595

UK and US-based studies have revealed certain patterns in the way parties use the World Wide Web. These patterns may or may not be repeated elsewhere. This article explores the extent to which Italian parties are exploiting the Web; the impact of the... Read More about New parties, new media: Italian party politics and the Internet.

Turning over a new leaf? Cohesion and discipline in the Italian parliament (2000)
Journal Article
Newell, J. (2000). Turning over a new leaf? Cohesion and discipline in the Italian parliament. Journal of Legislative Studies, 6(4), 29-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/13572330008420638

The literature on parties suggests various hypotheses about the conditions under which the cohesion and discipline of parliamentary parties will be greater or lesser. Since one such hypothesis concerns party‐system characteristics, Italy offers an op... Read More about Turning over a new leaf? Cohesion and discipline in the Italian parliament.
