Adaptive robust interaction control for low-cost robotic grasping
Thesis
Mahboubi Heydarabad, S. (in press). Adaptive robust interaction control for low-cost robotic grasping. (Thesis). University of Salford

Robotic grasping is a challenging area in the field of robotics. When a gripper starts interacting with an object to perform a grasp, the mechanical properties of the object (stiffness and damping) will play an important role. A gripper which is stab...

Kinecting frailty : a pilot study on frailty
Presentation / Conference
Caliskanelli, I., Nefti-Meziani, S., & Hodgson, A. Kinecting frailty : a pilot study on frailty. Presented at International Conference on Human Aspects of IT for the Aged Population (ITAP) 2018, Las Vegas, USA

Most elderly people wish to live independently at home, but are at risk of social isolation, inactivity, low mood, falls and increased frailty. To keep them safe at home without unnecessary, expensive hospitalisations we will investigate a new eHealt... Read More about Kinecting frailty : a pilot study on frailty.

Investigating the effect of perforation diameter and carbon dioxide bubble size distribution on heavy oil recovery
Thesis
Okudolor, A. (in press). Investigating the effect of perforation diameter and carbon dioxide bubble size distribution on heavy oil recovery. (Thesis). University of Salford

Global demand for energy is rising steeply because of escalating energy consumption coupled with depleting conventional petroleum reserves. To address this challenge, heavy oil has been considered as a strategic petroleum resource that can be produce...

An analytical study of the ethical problems in India’s digital service sector and their impact on attrition in the IT industry
Thesis
More, S. (in press). An analytical study of the ethical problems in India’s digital service sector and their impact on attrition in the IT industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research aims to test the hypothesis that ethical problems are causing high staff attrition rates within the digital service sector (DSS) in India. It is also shown that ethical problems affect other factors in DSS, such as trust, decision-makin...

An image processing decisional system for the Achilles tendon using ultrasound images
Thesis
Ben Rabha, J. (in press). An image processing decisional system for the Achilles tendon using ultrasound images. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Achilles Tendon (AT) is described as the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. As for any other organs in the human body, the AT is associated with some medical problems that include Achilles rupture and Achilles tendonitis. AT rupture...

Stability analysis of geometrically non-homogeneous stratified slopes
Presentation / Conference
Sauffisseau, R., & Ahangar Asr, A. Stability analysis of geometrically non-homogeneous stratified slopes. Presented at 25th UKACM Conference on Computational Mechanics, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom

Due to ongoing construction of cities and development of new buildings and infrastructures, many natural slopes in and around urban areas are often subjected to cuts. These excavations result in dramatic changes in the geometry of slope faces mostly... Read More about Stability analysis of geometrically non-homogeneous stratified slopes.

Evaluation and modelling of perceived audio quality in popular music, towards intelligent music production
Thesis
Wilson, A. Evaluation and modelling of perceived audio quality in popular music, towards intelligent music production. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis addresses three fundamental questions: What is mixing? What makes a high-quality mix? How can high-quality mixes be automatically generated? While these may seem essential to the very foundations of intelligent music production, this thes...
