Effect of instrument attachment on the surface temperature of juvenile grey seals (Halichoerus Grypus) measured by infrared thermography. (2007)
Journal Article
McCafferty, D. J., Currie, J., & Sparling, C. E. (2007). Effect of instrument attachment on the surface temperature of juvenile grey seals (Halichoerus Grypus) measured by infrared thermography. Deep Sea Research Part II Topical Studies in Oceanography, 54, 424-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2.2006.11.019

Previous research has highlighted the importance of minimising hydrodynamic drag from biologging instruments fitted to marine mammals. However, there is a need to investigate other possible impacts of instruments on animals. The aim of this study was...

Iterative control in automotive testing. (2007)
Journal Article
Hay, N. C., & Roberts, D. E. (2007). Iterative control in automotive testing. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 221(2), 223-233. https://doi.org/10.1243/09596518JSCE306

Road simulator test rigs investigate both the durability and the squeak and rattle characteristics of vehicle structures. The test specimens are the whole vehicle or a sub-structure taken from the vehicle. In laboratory simulation tests, random time... Read More about Iterative control in automotive testing..

An analysis of the dynamics of British academic science (2007)
Report
Andras, P., Herald, N. D., & Charlton, B. (2007). An analysis of the dynamics of British academic science. Newcastle-upon-Tyne: Newcastle University

We analysed the ranking and market share dynamics of main British universities based on their research output production (publications and citations). The data that we analysed is dominated very much by research output in natural and medical sciences... Read More about An analysis of the dynamics of British academic science.

KM, culture and compromise: interventions to promote knowledge sharing supported by technology in corporate environments (2007)
Journal Article
Hall, H., & Goody, M. (2007). KM, culture and compromise: interventions to promote knowledge sharing supported by technology in corporate environments. Journal of Information Science, 33(2), 181-188. https://doi.org/10.1177/0165551506070708

The theme of knowledge sharing is discussed extensively in the knowledge management literature. Such work tends to focus on the barriers that impede knowledge sharing activity. Of these “culture” is commonly cited as a major obstacle. This article ex...
