Humidity and moisture sensing is becoming increasingly important in industry and through a wide spectrum of applications and a review of research activity in the field across a range of technologies was presented previously by some of the authors. Re... Read More about Optical fibre-based sensor technology for humidity and moisture measurement: Review of recent progress.

Biomass derived ionic liquids: synthesis from natural organic acids, characterization, toxicity, biodegradation and use as solvents for catalytic hydrogenation processes (2013)
Journal Article
Ferlin, N., Courty, M., Gatard, S., Spulak, M., Quilty, B., Beadham, I., Ghavre, M., Haiß, A., Kümmerer, K., Gathergood, N., & Bouquillon, S. (2013). Biomass derived ionic liquids: synthesis from natural organic acids, characterization, toxicity, biodegradation and use as solvents for catalytic hydrogenation processes. Tetrahedron, 69(30), 6150-6161. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.tet.2013.05.054

Ionic liquids with natural organic derived anions (l-lactate, l-tartrate, malonate, succinate, l-malate, pyruvate, d-glucuronate, d-galacturonate) were easily prepared from tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and an excess of the corresponding acid with goo...

Partnership working and improved service delivery: views of staff providing sexual health services (2013)
Journal Article
Pow, J. S., Elliott, L., Raeside, R., Themessl-Huber, M., & Claveirole, A. (2013). Partnership working and improved service delivery: views of staff providing sexual health services. Journal of Health Services Research and Policy, 18, 132-137. https://doi.org/10.1177/1355819612473584

Objectives Successful partnership working has theoretically been linked to improvements in service delivery and is dependent on the strength of the partnership, trust, communication, professional roles and resource sharing. Empirical evidence to conf... Read More about Partnership working and improved service delivery: views of staff providing sexual health services.

Thesis
McCrory, B. Customer retention through the equal incorporation of continuous improvement(CI), culture and customer service. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6439

Customer retention has long been considered an important element in achieving competitive advantage for business organisations. The increasingly turbulent economic environment has brought this again to the fore for many organisations.
Through the de... Read More about Customer retention through the equal incorporation of continuous improvement(CI), culture and customer service.

Who cares? Managing obligation and responsibility across the changing landscapes of informal dementia care (2013)
Journal Article
Egdell, V. (2013). Who cares? Managing obligation and responsibility across the changing landscapes of informal dementia care. Ageing and society, 33, 888-907. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0144686X12000311

This paper explores the different ways in which informal carers for people with dementia negotiate their care-giving role across the changing organisational and spatial landscape of care. In-depth qualitative data are used to argue that the decisions... Read More about Who cares? Managing obligation and responsibility across the changing landscapes of informal dementia care.

Canonical correlation analysis on data with censoring and error information (2013)
Journal Article
Sun, J., & Keates, S. (2013). Canonical correlation analysis on data with censoring and error information. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 24(12), 1909-1919. https://doi.org/10.1109/TNNLS.2013.2262949

We developed a probabilistic model for canonical correlation analysis in the case when the associated datasets are incomplete. This case can arise where data entries either contain measurement errors or are censored (i.e., nonignorable missing) due t...
