Exact minimisation of large multiple output FPRM functions. (2002)
Journal Article
Almaini, A. E. A., & Wang, L. Y. (2002). Exact minimisation of large multiple output FPRM functions. IEE proceedings. Computers and digital techniques, 149, 203-212. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cdt%3A20020674

The properties of the polarity for sum-of-products (SOP) expressions of Boolean functions are formally investigated. A transform matrix S is developed to convert SOP expressions from one polarity to another polarity. It is shown that the effect of SO...

“To Boldly Go”: Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and popular culture. (2002)
Journal Article
Dryden, L. (2002). “To Boldly Go”: Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and popular culture. Conradiana, 34, 70-149

Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) is a text that has consistently resisted analytic closure. That is to say that its relevance to the twentieth century (and now the twenty-first century) is apparent through the allusions to the story in our media and...

Representations in Human-Computer Systems development. (2002)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (2002). Representations in Human-Computer Systems development. Cognition, Technology and Work, 4, 180-196. https://doi.org/10.1007/s101110200017

When system developers design a computer system (or other information artefact), they must inevitably make judgements as to how to abstract the domain and how to represent this abstraction in their designs. Over the years human–computer interaction,... Read More about Representations in Human-Computer Systems development..

Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2002). Democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation in health care systems. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 8(3), 291-297. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2753.2002.00354.x

There is a widespread perception of poor performance and reduced trust in relation to health care systems. The roots of this problem are interpreted in terms of the democratic deficit and communication hyper-inflation. The democratic deficit is chara...
