The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems (1995)
Thesis
Windle, R. The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental noise is an issue of increasing concern which has resulted in much
legislation over recent years. A large proportion of noise complaints arise from
industrial and commercial premises. This thesis therefore aims to take a significant s... Read More about The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems.

Integrating design and construction to improve constructability through an effective usage of IT (1995)
Thesis
Underwood, J. Integrating design and construction to improve constructability through an effective usage of IT. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is now widely recognised that bridging the gap between design and
construction is essential for improving product quality, cost, lead time, and
materials waste. The design of buildings has been separated from its production
since at least the m... Read More about Integrating design and construction to improve constructability through an effective usage of IT.

A search for the underclass : a comparative study of cellar dwellers in Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Rochdale, 1861-1871 (1995)
Thesis
Hayton, S. A search for the underclass : a comparative study of cellar dwellers in Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Rochdale, 1861-1871. (Thesis). University of Salford

The concepts that lie behind my thesis are one of perception and reality - the
perception of nineteenth century observers and the reality of the census returns.
The perceptions drawn will relate to many aspects of the underclass. The
aspects will... Read More about A search for the underclass : a comparative study of cellar dwellers in Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Rochdale, 1861-1871.

Conceptualizing and investigating patterns of consumer behaviour towards in-home shopping (1995)
Thesis
Hogg, M. Conceptualizing and investigating patterns of consumer behaviour towards in-home shopping. (Thesis). University of Manchester

This research examines intermediate patterns of joint consumption whereby
constellations, anti constellations and configurations are seen as representing patterns of
consumption which lie between the traditional micro (product-centred) and macro
(... Read More about Conceptualizing and investigating patterns of consumer behaviour towards in-home shopping.

Green building : concept and practice (1995)
Thesis
Cook, S. Green building : concept and practice. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis addresses the question: what is a green
building? This question is fundamental to those
academics, research bodies and practising construction
professionals who seek to audit and to assess green
buildings. It seeks to illuminate the b... Read More about Green building : concept and practice.

The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system (1995)
Thesis
Proudlove, N. The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis describes the background to and development of a computer-based
decision support system (DSS) known as IMOS, the intelligent maintenance
optimisation system. The aim of the system is to help industrial maintenance
engineers improve the... Read More about The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system.

A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials (1995)
Thesis
Erzincanli, F. A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials. (Thesis). University of Salford

The handling and packaging of food products are generally very labour intensive processes
where the risk of product contamination is high. Cost-effective automatic handling of such
products is becoming an increasingly important issue, particularly... Read More about A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials.
