On the theory of production in economics and production management (2011)
Book Chapter
Koskela, L. (2011). On the theory of production in economics and production management. In G. de Valence (Ed.), Modern construction economics: New developments in theory (80-99). Abingdon: Spon Press

What do we know about production? What determines the outcome of production? Why are some factories, nations and industries more productive than others? Given that sciences tend to present their most fundamental knowledge in the form of theories: Wha... Read More about On the theory of production in economics and production management.

A transmission electron microscopy study of the effects of helium irradiation on polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon (2011)
Thesis
Abrams, K. A transmission electron microscopy study of the effects of helium irradiation on polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work is a fundamental study of the effects of helium (He) implantation into polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si). Following implantation, He interaction and vacancy agglomeration lead to the nucleation of bubbles. Recent scientific literature cont...

Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections (2011)
Thesis
Al-Jameel, H. Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Weaving sections have proved to cause bottlenecks on motorways because of the relatively frequent lane changes in these sections. The use of analytical models in assessing weaving section capacity (such as those suggested by the Highway Capacity Ma...

The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP (2011)
Thesis
Al-Juboori, W. The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A recent innovation for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is to externally bond Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite plates or strips. This technique has become popular because of the many... Read More about The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP.

The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows (2011)
Thesis
Allison, S. The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows. (Thesis). University of Salford

A series of compressor blades, aligned as a cascade, situated in a transonic flow has been studied using a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. An objective of the research was to discover, using a CFD code, how the total a... Read More about The effects of interblade phase angle on pitch oscillating, transonic, cascade flows.

Nurses' experience of caring for men with sexual dysfunction in Jordan (2011)
Thesis
Al Momani, M. Nurses' experience of caring for men with sexual dysfunction in Jordan. (Thesis). University of Salford

Worldwide, sexual dysfunction is common among men regardless of age, ethnicity or cultural background therefore it is not unreasonable to assume such a problem exists within Jordan, despite the limited evidence available. This research examines the r... Read More about Nurses' experience of caring for men with sexual dysfunction in Jordan.

Optical remote sensing for estimating fuel moisture content in upland vegetation (2011)
Thesis
Almoustafa, T. Optical remote sensing for estimating fuel moisture content in upland vegetation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the United Kingdom (UK) uncontrolled fires in upland moorlands have a negative effect on biodiversity, soil stability and nutrient dynamics. The control of these fires may be problematic because of the inaccessibility of the terrain. This research...
