Alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities (2003)
Journal Article
Sándor, Z., & András, P. (2004). Alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities. Journal of Econometrics, 120(2), 207-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0304-4076%2803%2900212-4

We study the performance of alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities through the GHK simulator. The sampling methods are randomized versions of some quasi-Monte Carlo samples (Halton, Niederreiter, Niederreiter–Xi...

Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J., & Zhang, H. (2003, September). Analysis of Stiffened Plates: An Effective Semi-Analytical Method. Presented at Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Civil and Structural Engineering Computing

During the past three decades, a large amount of research results on the analysis and design of stiffened plates has been reported. Most of the methods used in the analyses include finite element [1,2,3], finite strip [4,5,6] and boundary element [7,...

The challenge of designing a computer network system: A snapshot of UK construction SMEs. (2003)
Journal Article
Wong, A., & Sloan, B. (2003). The challenge of designing a computer network system: A snapshot of UK construction SMEs. International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 7, 107-118

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been widely used in the UK construction industry for the last two decades. A prolific development in ICT with a wide range of IT applications is already witnessed by a divergent range of construction...

Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P. (2003, July). Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages. Presented at International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Portland, OR, USA

There is some experimental evidence that the neural information processing in some small neural systems with complex behaviour (e.g., olfactory bulb, crab stomatogastric ganglion) can be best described in terms of activity patterns. Recently the patt... Read More about Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages.

Measurements of the cavitation threshold of multigrade engine oils under dynamic stressing by pulses of negative pressure (2003)
Journal Article

Multilevel logic simplification based on containment recursive paradigm. (2003)
Journal Article
Wang, L. Y., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2003). Multilevel logic simplification based on containment recursive paradigm. IEE proceedings. Computers and digital techniques, 150, 218-226. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cdt%3A20030575

This paper addresses a number of fundamental concepts and a novel technique for optimising practical multi-level designs for completely and incompletely specified multi-output functions. Multi-level design is the preferred approach in complex VSLI ci... Read More about Multilevel logic simplification based on containment recursive paradigm..

Delivering job search services for unemployed people in rural areas: the role of ICT. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Lindsay, C. (2003, August). Delivering job search services for unemployed people in rural areas: the role of ICT. Presented at European Regional Science Association Conference

The geographical remoteness of many rural communities from major centres of economic activity clearly affects the availability of public services, which tend to be concentrated in highly populated areas of industrial development. The potential benefi... Read More about Delivering job search services for unemployed people in rural areas: the role of ICT..

Whole cell immobilised biosensors for toxicity assessment of a wastewater treatment plant treating phenolics-containing waste (2003)
Journal Article

Whole cell immobilised biosensors for toxicity assessment of a wastewater treatment plant treating phenolics-containing waste. Analytica Chimica Acta, 487(1), 61-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-2670%2803%2900358-1

Wastewater treatment plants dealing with industrial wastes are often susceptible to overload of toxic influent that can partially or completely destroy treatment for extended periods. An obvious candidate for monitoring toxicity in such wastewater sy...

Teamworking and change: managing the contradictions (2003)
Journal Article
Francis, H. (2003). Teamworking and change: managing the contradictions. Human Resource Management Journal, 13(3), 71-90. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-8583.2003.tb00099.x

Current models of HRM suggest that expectations about HR roles are changing as organisations are striving to make the HR function leaner and more ‘strategic’. In our article we explore the changing roles of HRM as they are perceived by different stak... Read More about Teamworking and change: managing the contradictions.
