Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning (2004)
Thesis
Zhang, X. Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The growth of the international movement to involve the public in urban planning urges us to find new ways to achieve this. Recent studies have identified information communication technologies (ICT) as a mechanism to support such movement. It has...

User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Sarshar, M., & Arayici, Y. (2004, May). User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project. Presented at CIB World Building Congress, Toronto

There is a gap between construction IT (CIT) research and its uptake within the construction industry. One way to reduce this gap is better requirements capture and testing during CIT research. DIVERCITY was a European consortium of researchers and... Read More about User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project.

The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees (2004)
Thesis
Twiste, M. The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees. (Thesis). University of Salford

During stance phase of amputee gait, considerable forces are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studi...
