International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines (2008)
Journal Article
Gong, S. X. H., Firth, M., & Cullinane, K. (2008). International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 44, 621-636. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tre.2007.05.008

This paper investigates the effect of oligopolistic rivalry on spillovers in financial reporting. Using an event study methodology and focusing on global airlines, we find that firms experience discernable abnormal stock price reactions at the announ...

The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification (2008)
Journal Article
Field, D., Garrity, G., Gray, T., Morrison, N., Selengut, J., Sterk, P., …Wipat, A. (2008). The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification. Nature Biotechnology, 26, 541-547. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt1360

With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international worki... Read More about The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification.

Synthesis of sugar-based chelating surfactants for metal removal from wastewater (2008)
Journal Article
Ferlin, N., Grassi, D., Ojeda, C., Castro, M. J., Grand, E., Fernández Cirelli, A., & Kovensky, J. (2008). Synthesis of sugar-based chelating surfactants for metal removal from wastewater. Carbohydrate Research, 343, 839-847. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2008.01.015

Four chelating surfactants were synthesized in a few steps from octyl d-glucosides. Their main interfacial properties were determined, and their flotation properties were evaluated on a laboratory scale using Fe(III) as a model contaminant metal. The...

Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides (2008)
Journal Article
Ferlin, N., Duchet, L., Kovensky, J., & Grand, E. (2008). Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides. Carbohydrate Research, 343, 2819-2821. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2008.05.013

Long-chain (C6 to C16) alkyl glucopyranosides have been synthesized using microwave irradiation. Yields and anomeric ratios can be controlled under precise and short irradiation times (few min). Comparison with classical heating showed a better effic... Read More about Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides.

Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project. (2008)
Journal Article
Crawford, J., & Irving, C. (2008). Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project. Library and information research, 32, 29-37

Reviews briefly the origins of the Scottish Information Literacy Project from its origins in 2004 as a project solely devoted to developing a National Information Literacy Framework for Scotland to the present time. The project now encompasses workpl... Read More about Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project..

Solar application for Drying Woodchip in Scotland. (2008)
Journal Article
Clemente, A., Grassie, T., Henderson, D., & Kubie, J. (2008). Solar application for Drying Woodchip in Scotland. EuroSun,

A novel solar dryer for drying woodchip has been developed in Scotland. In this paper, designs and performance of both solar collector and dryer have been presented separately. Woodchip drying performance has been analysed for a range of temperatures... Read More about Solar application for Drying Woodchip in Scotland..

Call centres and incapacity benefit claimants in the North West of England: a study from the Greater Manchester area. (2008)
Journal Article
Cabras, I. (2008). Call centres and incapacity benefit claimants in the North West of England: a study from the Greater Manchester area. Economic and Industrial Democracy, 29, 249-273. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143831X07088543

During the last decade, several initiatives have been undertaken by the British government in an attempt to reduce the number of incapacity benefit claimants. The principal objective is to encourage long-term economically inactive people to enter int...

Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability (2008)
Journal Article
Bell, M. G. H., Kanturska, U., Schmocker, J. D., & Fonzone, A. (2008). Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 366, 1893-1906. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2008.0019

The reliability of road networks depends directly on their vulnerability to disruptive incidents, ranging in severity from minor disruptions to terrorist attacks. This paper presents a game theoretic approach to the analysis of road network vulnerabi... Read More about Attacker-defender models and road network vulnerability.

Optimization of MPRM functions using tabular techniques and genetic algorithms. (2008)
