The ‘employability gap’: long-term unemployment and barriers to work in buoyant labour markets. (2002)
Journal Article
McQuaid, R. W., & Lindsay, C. (2002). The ‘employability gap’: long-term unemployment and barriers to work in buoyant labour markets. Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, 20(4), 613-628. https://doi.org/10.1068/c22m

We analyse the main barriers limiting the employability of long-term unemployed job seekers within a local labour market characterised by generally high levels of demand. We use four key elements of employability (employability assets, the deployment... Read More about The ‘employability gap’: long-term unemployment and barriers to work in buoyant labour markets..

Mining, migration and mobility: towards an understanding of the relationship between migration and occupation in the context of the UK mining industry. (2002)
Journal Article
Hollywood, E. (2002). Mining, migration and mobility: towards an understanding of the relationship between migration and occupation in the context of the UK mining industry. International Journal of Population Geography, 8, 297-314. https://doi.org/10.1002/ijpg.264

The large-scale decline of the UK mining industry in recent years has led to significant job losses, unemployment and inactivity throughout the coalfields. This paper aims to examine the role of migration as a response to these closures during the la...

Exploiting agent mobility for large-scale network monitoring (2002)
Journal Article
Liotta, A., Pavlou, G., & Knight, G. (2002). Exploiting agent mobility for large-scale network monitoring. IEEE Network, 16(3), 7-15. https://doi.org/10.1109/MNET.2002.1002994

As networks become pervasive, the importance of efficient information gathering for purposes such as monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation increases. Distributed monitoring systems based on either management protocols such as SNMP o... Read More about Exploiting agent mobility for large-scale network monitoring.

New knowledge and micro-level online organization: 'communities of practice' as a development framework (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E., & Hall, H. (2001, January). New knowledge and micro-level online organization: 'communities of practice' as a development framework. Presented at Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences

The role of communities of practice in knowledge creation is recognized in a number of contexts. The authors take a socio-technical perspective and identify four characteristics of such communities: situated learning, situated action, distributed cog...

On the design of scalable pipelined broadcasting for mesh networks (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2002). On the design of scalable pipelined broadcasting for mesh networks. In High Performance Computing Systems and Applications (98-105). https://doi.org/10.1109/HPCSA.2002.1019140

Minimising the communication latency and achieving considerable scalability are of paramount importance when designing high performance broadcast algorithms. Many algorithms for wormhole-switched meshes have been widely reported in the literature. Ho... Read More about On the design of scalable pipelined broadcasting for mesh networks.

Isotropically conductive adhesives for electronic manufacture of flexible printed circuit boards (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roeck, M., & Hunt, I. (2000, December). Isotropically conductive adhesives for electronic manufacture of flexible printed circuit boards. Presented at 3rd Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC 2000) (Cat. No.00EX456)

The use of polyester as flexible printed circuit board substrates implies that alternative low temperature curing conductive materials are required for assembling electronic circuits. In addition, conductive adhesives are used as a solution which eli... Read More about Isotropically conductive adhesives for electronic manufacture of flexible printed circuit boards.
