Questioning the impact of the ‘graduatization’ of the managerial labour force upon the management of human resources in the Scottish hotel industry (2000)
Journal Article
Ingram, A., Jamieson, R., Lynch, P., & Bent, R. (2000). Questioning the impact of the ‘graduatization’ of the managerial labour force upon the management of human resources in the Scottish hotel industry. International journal of consumer studies, 24(4), 212-222. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1470-6431.2000.00128.x

This paper outlines the findings of a questionnaire survey returned by 125 Scottish hotels from a sample of 500 small and middle-sized enterprises. We asked questions on the level of impact that hospitality graduates have had upon human resource mana...

A direct approach to analysing step changes (2000)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (2000). A direct approach to analysing step changes. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 214(11), 1437-1441. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406001523407

There are many processes in engineering in which a physical parameter y normally varies linearly with another physical parameter x, but where, on occasion, a step change in the variation of parameter y may occur. A typical example of this phenomenon... Read More about A direct approach to analysing step changes.

Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment (2000)
Journal Article
McGrath, R., & Singleton, I. (2000). Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 32(8-9), 1311-1314. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0038-0717%2800%2900015-8

Bioremediation is recognised as an economically viable method to treat contaminated soil and the use of microbial inoculants, in particular, white-rot fungi, has been proposed to enhance the remediation process. During bioremediation, a variety of po... Read More about Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment.

On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water (2000)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2000). On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 456, 1321-1332. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2000.0564

We provide an explanation for the anomalously low values of liquid tensile strength recorded in some experiments involving the reflection of a pressure pulse (as tension) at the free surface of a column of water, or at a flexible membrane. The presen... Read More about On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water.

Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation (2000)
Journal Article
Hastings, R. C., Butler, C., Singleton, I., Saunders, J. R., & McCarthy, A. J. (2000). Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation. Letters in applied microbiology, 30(1), 14-18. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1472-765x.2000.00630.x

Ammonia-oxidizer numbers decreased under conditions of moisture limitation in litter, fermentation and humus layers of forest soil in the field, but the extent of regrowth after rehydration varied between layers. Nitrosospira 16S rRNA genes were ampl... Read More about Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation.

Determination of NTA and EDTA and Speciation of Their Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solution by Capillary Electrophoresis (2000)
Journal Article
Owens, G., Ferguson, V. K., McLaughlin, M. J., Singleton, I., Reid, R. J., & Smith, F. A. (2000). Determination of NTA and EDTA and Speciation of Their Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solution by Capillary Electrophoresis. Environmental science & technology, 34(5), 885-891. https://doi.org/10.1021/es990309m

The interest in the use of chelates for enhancing metal uptake by plants during phytoremediation and their widespread use in plant nutrient research requires that an easy, reproducible method be developed for chelate detection in a variety of systems...
