Clinical trial to investigate stabilisation of the spine (1996)
Book Chapter
Fairbank, J., Frost, H., & Wilson-MacDonald, J. (1995). Clinical trial to investigate stabilisation of the spine. In R. Aspden, & R. Porter (Eds.), Lumbar spine disorders : current concepts. Vol.2, 143-160. Singapore: World Scientific Publishing

This chapter is a resume of a protocol which we have presented to the Medical Research Council of the United Kingdom for a multicentre trial to investigate the value of spinal fusion and spinal stabilisation for chronic low back pain. It has not yet... Read More about Clinical trial to investigate stabilisation of the spine.

Domains Models for User Interface Design (1996)

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with developing computer-based systems which help people undertake their work or other activities and which demonstrate a high degree of usability. Both the process of development and the various products... Read More about Domains Models for User Interface Design.

GABA-, Glycine-, and Glutamate-Gated Channels and Their Possible Involvement in Neurological and Psychiatric Illness (1996)
Book Chapter

Rapid chemical communication between cells in the vertebrate central nervous system is mediated by ligand-gated ion-channel receptors (also called ionotropic receptors), which are multisubunit complexes, that each contain an ion-selective channel. In... Read More about GABA-, Glycine-, and Glutamate-Gated Channels and Their Possible Involvement in Neurological and Psychiatric Illness.

Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation (1996)
Book Chapter
Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1996). Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation. In J. C. Frankland, N. Magan, & G. M. Gadd (Eds.), Fungi and environmental change (282-298). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511753190.018

Microorganisms, including fungi, are known to accumulate metals from their external environment and the possibility of using fungi as a means of treating metal/radionuclide-containing effluents is well recognized (Siegel, Galun & Siegel, 1990; Gadd,...

Enhancing the link between business and operations strategy. (1996)
Book Chapter
MacKerron, G. (1996). Enhancing the link between business and operations strategy. In C. A. Voss (Ed.), Manufacturing strategy: operations strategy in a global context. London Business School

This paper reprots on the use of banchmarking to improve the links between business and operations strategies. The use of benchmarking as a toll to facilitate improvements in these crucial links is examined. The existing literature on process benchma...

We consider the construction of rational approximations to given power series whose coefficients are vectors. The approximants are in the form of vector-valued continued fractions which may be used to obtain vector Pade approximants using recurrence... Read More about Vector continued fraction algorithms..
