Does feeding alter arterial oxygen saturation in patients with acute stroke? (2000)
Journal Article
Rowat, A. M., Wardlaw, J. M., Dennis, M. S., & Warlow, C. P. (2000). Does feeding alter arterial oxygen saturation in patients with acute stroke?. Stroke, 31, 2134-2140. https://doi.org/10.1161/01.STR.31.9.2134

Background and Purpose—We measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during eating in acute stroke patients to
establish the frequency of any meal-related hypoxemia, which could further damage already vulnerable brain tissue.
Methods—Stroke patient... Read More about Does feeding alter arterial oxygen saturation in patients with acute stroke?.

TOUCH: Creating interactional artefacts in a physical world (2000)
Journal Article
Smyth, M. (2000). TOUCH: Creating interactional artefacts in a physical world. Interfaces / the British HCI Group newsletter, 17

The maxim states that seeing is believing but that it is touch that determines reality. Instinctively we
reach out to touch those objects that attract or perplex. Touch conveys an intimacy both at a physical
and emotional level. In the pursuit of t... Read More about TOUCH: Creating interactional artefacts in a physical world.

R7376: A practical decision support tool to improve the feedmanagement of ruminant work animals. Final Technical Report (2000)
Report
Thorne, P. J., & Smith, D. (2000). R7376: A practical decision support tool to improve the feedmanagement of ruminant work animals. Final Technical Report

Deteriorating levels of food production and increasing demands for food have reduced food security amongst rural communities in poor countries. Draught animal
technology can help alleviate this problem by improving timeliness and reducing human drud... Read More about R7376: A practical decision support tool to improve the feedmanagement of ruminant work animals. Final Technical Report.

Requirements are in the eyes of the beholders (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P. (2000, September). Requirements are in the eyes of the beholders. Presented at HCI 2000, Sunderland

It will be demonstrated that the perceived attributes or characteristics of information artefacts can act as constraints on the ways in which people use and interact with them. This is particularly true when the information artefacts behave as bounda... Read More about Requirements are in the eyes of the beholders.
