For over a century, the automobile has offered affordable freed... Read More about Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study..

Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities. (2011)
Journal Article
Schmoecker, J.-D., Fonzone, A., Shimamoto, H., Kurauchi, F., & Bell, M. G. H. (2011). Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities. Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 45, 392-408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2010.07.002

This paper proposes a frequency-based assignment model that considers travellers probability of finding a seat in their perception of route cost and hence also their route choice. The model introduces a “fail-to-sit” probability at boarding points wi... Read More about Frequency-based transit assignment considering seat capacities..

Family business networks: mulit-rational perspectives on networking in family owned and managed small and micro-businesses (2011)
Thesis
Seaman, C. E. A. Family business networks: mulit-rational perspectives on networking in family owned and managed small and micro-businesses. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5684

This portfolio considers the manner in which family businesses network. Networks are vital for small and micro-businesses but within current research mono-rationalist approaches, where the business is studied in relative isolation from the social com...

Journal Article
Sherry, A. E., Inglis, N. F., Stevenson, A., Fraser-Pitt, D. J., Everest, P., Smith, D. G. E., & Roberts, M. (2011). Characterisation of proteins extracted from the surface of Salmonella Typhimurium grown under SPI-2-inducing conditions by LC-ESI/MS/MS sequencing. Proteomics, 11, 361-370. https://doi.org/10.1002/pmic.200900802

Salmonella enterica has two pathogenicity islands encoding separate type three secretion systems (T3SS). Proteins secreted through these systems facilitate invasion and survival. After entry, Salmonella reside within a membrane bound vacuole, the Sal...

Although several network architectu... Read More about Efficient routing and communication algorithms for wireless mesh networks.

Medicine-taking and recovery-focused mental health practice (2011)
Journal Article

This article was inspired by the need to revisit medicine-taking within the context of recovery-focused practice in mental health. Practice based on compliance is unlikely to succeed and is not resonant with the principles of recovery. Mental wellbei...

Journal Article
de Jesus de Brito Simith, D., de Souza, A. S., Maciel, C. R., Abrunhosa, F. A., & Diele, K. (2012). Influence of salinity on the larval development of the fiddler crab Uca vocator (Ocypodidae) as an indicator of ontogenetic migration towards offshore waters.

Larvae of many marine decapod crustaceans are released in unpredictable habitats with strong salinity fluctuations during the breeding season. In an experimental laboratory study, we investigated the influence of seven different salinities (0, 5, 10,...
