Using visual management to improve transparency in planning and control in construction
Thesis
Brady, D. Using visual management to improve transparency in planning and control in construction. (Thesis). University of Salford

The principle of transparency is rarely evident on construction sites. Current practice shows that instability in the execution phase is common, where activities, assumed to be feasible, have be rescheduled initiating a chain of further readjustment...

A qualitative analysis of the factors that affect British South Asian Muslim women and their consumption of fashion and beauty products
Thesis
Khan, F. A qualitative analysis of the factors that affect British South Asian Muslim women and their consumption of fashion and beauty products. (Dissertation). University of Salford

From past research literature review on British South Asian consumerism, there have been some issues and problems found in literature review. Firstly, there have been generalisations about British South Asians as one homogenous group. It can be a...

TransForming Practice’: understanding trans people’s experience of domestic abuse and social care agencies.
Thesis
Rogers, M. TransForming Practice’: understanding trans people’s experience of domestic abuse and social care agencies. (Thesis). University of Sheffield

This thesis presents an account of trans people’s perspectives and experiences of domestic abuse, their social care needs and whether these are addressed by social care agencies. To enhance an analysis of social care intervention, the views of domest...

Journal Article
Boubli, J., da Silva, M., Amado, M., Hrbek, T., Pontual, F., & Farias, I. A taxonomic reassessment of Cacajao melanocephalus Humboldt (1811), with the description of two new species. International Journal of Primatology, 29(3), 723-741. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-008-9248-7

The author of the last published systematic review of Cacajao recognized 2 subspecies of black-headed uakaris (black uakaris): Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus and C. m. ouakary. As a result of a series of black uakari surveys and collecting exp... Read More about A taxonomic reassessment of Cacajao melanocephalus Humboldt (1811), with the description of two new species.

Cavitation detection of a centrifugal pump using instantaneous angular speed
Presentation / Conference
Al-Hashmi, S., Gu, F., Li, Y., Ball, A., Fen, T., & Liu, K. Cavitation detection of a centrifugal pump using instantaneous angular speed. Presented at American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 7th Biennial Conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis, Manchester, UK

Cavitation is a common fault in centrifugal pumps. The detection and diagnosis of the onset and severity of the cavitation provide the means of preventing the cavitation from causing harmful effects such as deterioration of the hydraulic performance,...

The measurement of instantaneous angular speed
Journal Article
Li, Y., Gu, F., Harris, G., Ball, A., Bennett, N., & Travis, K. The measurement of instantaneous angular speed. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 19(4), 786-805. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2004.04.003

Many different methods have been developed for the measurement of angular speed. Each successive method has attempted to improve measurement performance using a different strategy to process encoder signals based on two basic principles: counting the...

An investigation of the effects of measurement noise in the use of instantaneous angular speed for machine diagnosis
Journal Article
Gu, F., Yesilyurt, I., Li, Y., Harris, G., & Ball, A. An investigation of the effects of measurement noise in the use of instantaneous angular speed for machine diagnosis. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 20(6), 1444-1460. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2005.02.001

In order to discriminate small changes for early fault diagnosis of rotating machines, condition monitoring demands that the measurement of instantaneous angular speed (IAS) of the machines be as accurate as possible. This paper develops the theoreti... Read More about An investigation of the effects of measurement noise in the use of instantaneous angular speed for machine diagnosis.

A validated model for the prediction of rotor bar failure in squirrel-cage motors using instantaneous angular speed
Journal Article
Sasi, A., Gu, F., Li, Y., & Ball, A. A validated model for the prediction of rotor bar failure in squirrel-cage motors using instantaneous angular speed. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 20(7), 1572-1589. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2005.09.010

Instantaneous angular speed (IAS)-based condition monitoring is an area in which significant progress has been achieved over the recent years. This condition monitoring technique is less known compared to the existing conventional methods. This paper...

Descaling of petroleum production tubing utilising aerated high pressure flat fan water sprays
Thesis
Abbas, A. Descaling of petroleum production tubing utilising aerated high pressure flat fan water sprays. (Thesis). University of Salford

Recent attempts to utilise solid particles in combination with high pressure water sprays has caused environmental and safety concern, in cleaning mineral and organic scale inside the Oil and Gas Production Tubing. To increase cleaning performance on... Read More about Descaling of petroleum production tubing utilising aerated high pressure flat fan water sprays.
