The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges (2003)
Thesis
Tao, H. The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges (OSBMAB) was studied through model tests and finite element simulations. One three-metre and two
five-metre span, full scale OSBMAB were constructed and tested to destruction. Two `partia... Read More about The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges.

Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management (2003)
Thesis
Thompson, K. Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Whilst transport has repeatedly been identified as an integral component in the tourism system, the relationship between urban public transport networks and visitor behaviour at urban destinations remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, tourist tran... Read More about Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management.

P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with adenosine is an effective and safe method for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). Various reports suggest that a 3 min stress regime is as efficacious as a 6 min regime. The aim of the study was to study t... Read More about P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol.

Male mating behavior and ejaculate expenditure under sperm competition risk in the eastern mosquitofish (2003)
Journal Article
Evans, J. P., Pierotti, M., & Pilastro, A. (2003). Male mating behavior and ejaculate expenditure under sperm competition risk in the eastern mosquitofish. Behavioral Ecology, 14(2), 268–273. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/14.2.268

Theory predicts that males should tailor the size of their ejaculates according to temporal changes in the risk of sperm competition. Specifically, males are predicted to allocate more sperm to each mating event with increasing risk (i.e., the probab...

An evaluation of a judgmental model of assessment for assessing clinical skills in MSc students (2003)
Journal Article
Haigh, C. (2003). An evaluation of a judgmental model of assessment for assessing clinical skills in MSc students. Nurse Education in Practice, 3(1), 43-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1471-5953%2802%2900056-2

As the focus within clinical practice moves toward higher and specialist levels of practice, the difficulty of assessing such higher level skills become more of an issue for nurse educators. The paper outlines the application of the Judgmental Module... Read More about An evaluation of a judgmental model of assessment for assessing clinical skills in MSc students.
