Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction (2006)
Journal Article
Freedman, G. J. H., & Kermani, A. (2006). Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 159(1), 7-10. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.2006.159.1.7

Stress lamination of timber, as an engineering concept, has a useful future in construction, and should provide many opportunities to utilise UK timber - a readily available lightweight material, excellent in compression yet good in bending. That com... Read More about Briefing: Stress lamination: utilising low-grade timber in construction.

Blind equalisation of communication channels for equal energy sources: Energy matching approach (2006)
Journal Article
Naveed, A., Qureshi, I., Hussain, A., & Fiori, S. (2006). Blind equalisation of communication channels for equal energy sources: Energy matching approach. Electronics Letters, 42(4), 247-248. https://doi.org/10.1049/el%3A20062983

A new energy-matching approach for blind equalisation of possibly non-minimum phase channels is presented. The scheme exploits second order statistics and uses oversampling, but does not use the matching of statistics of the input with that of the ou...

Central periodic breathing observed on hospital admission is associated with an adverse prognosis in conscious acute stroke patients (2006)
Journal Article
Rowat, A. M., Dennis, M. S., & Wardlaw, J. M. (2006). Central periodic breathing observed on hospital admission is associated with an adverse prognosis in conscious acute stroke patients. Cerebrovascular Diseases, 21, 340-347. https://doi.org/10.1159/000091540

Background: Central periodic breathing (CPB) is common following acute stroke, but its prognostic significance is uncertain. We determined the frequency of CPB on admission with stroke and assessed whether it was related to outcome. Methods: We measu...

Uni takes lead in dog IQ testing. (2006)
Digital Artefact
Smith, D. (2006). Uni takes lead in dog IQ testing. [BBC News channel]

Scottish scientists are trying to prove intelligence is not just down to good breeding - at least for dogs. Aberdeen University is running IQ tests on pedigree and crossbreeds to see which ones are smarter. Researchers hope the tests, mostly in... Read More about Uni takes lead in dog IQ testing..

The Uncertainty of Standard of Value (2006)
Journal Article
Minhat, M. (2006). The Uncertainty of Standard of Value. Accountants Today, 19(2), 32-34

National Accountants Conference (NAC) 2005 recognised accountants as the ‘managers of value’. However, this recognition carries with it a huge responsibility once we comprehend the notion of ‘value. Have we ever wondered that the value of money, our... Read More about The Uncertainty of Standard of Value.

Open/closed window research: sound insulation through ventilated domestic windows. (2006)
Report
Waters-Fuller, T., Lurcock, D., Mackenzie, R., & MacKenzie, R. (2006). Open/closed window research: sound insulation through ventilated domestic windows

Planning guidance is required to advise on appropriate standards against which the suitability of development can be assessed. Consideration is needed of the locale, its existing character and of future residential amenity. In the noise context, adv...
