Selection of a minimum-boundary reserve network using integer programming (2003)
Journal Article
Önal, H., & Briers, R. A. (2003). Selection of a minimum-boundary reserve network using integer programming. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 270(1523), 1487-1491. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2003.2393

In the conservation literature, heuristic procedures have been employed to incorporate spatial considerations in reserve network selection with the presumption that computationally convenient optimization models would be too difficult or impossible t...

De contemplationis digitis. (2003)
Other
Hails, J. (2003). De contemplationis digitis. [Musical score]. Cheltenham, UK

In this piece, my research aim was to develop the contrary relationship of the flute (blown, sustained sound) to piano (struck, decaying sound) in the context of a playful formal scheme relating text and music.

Initial conversation with the flauti... Read More about De contemplationis digitis..

Learning a procedure that can solve hard bin-packing problems: a new GA-based approach to hyperheuristics. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Marin-Blazquez, J. G., Schulenburg, S., & Hart, E. (2003, July). Learning a procedure that can solve hard bin-packing problems: a new GA-based approach to hyperheuristics. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) 2003

The idea underlying hyper-heuristics is to discover some
combination of familiar, straightforward heuristics that performs very well across a whole range of problems. To be worthwhile, such a combination should outperform all of the constituent heur...

The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2003, July). The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users. Paper presented at Conference Proceedings of EuroHaptics 2003, Dublin

Abstract. The effect of multiple haptic distractors on target selection performance was examined in terms of times to select the target and the associated cursor movement patterns. Two experiments examined: a) The effect of multiple haptic distractor... Read More about The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users..

Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003, July). Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place. Presented at International Conference on Auditory Display, ICAD 2003

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and
response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast
the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological
approach. We con... Read More about Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place.

An equilibrium solution to supply chain synchronisation. (2003)
Journal Article
Pearson, M. (2003). An equilibrium solution to supply chain synchronisation. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 14, 165-185. https://doi.org/10.1093/imaman/14.3.165

The classical two-echelon problem, {(C, V), (Q, R)}, is stated as follows. A producer (manufacturer) attempts to determine the cost to charge a distributor (wholesaler/retailer) and the credit/unit to pay for unsold units returned. A distributor dete...

Lessons from travel planning and road user charging for policy-making: through imperfection to implementation (2003)
Journal Article
Ison, S., & Rye, T. (2003). Lessons from travel planning and road user charging for policy-making: through imperfection to implementation. Transport Policy, 10(3), 223-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-070X%2803%2900023-4

In 1978 Gunn published a seminal paper which explained why implementation of policy is so difficult. The paper set out 10 conditions, which should be satisfied if perfect implementation is to be achieved. Whilst it is clear that perfect implementatio...

Britten - Les Illuminations. (2003)
Digital Artefact
Malcolm, C. (2003). Britten - Les Illuminations

This CD brings together three youthful masterworks all composed by Benjamin Britten before his 30th birthday. Individually and collectively they demonstrate a fertile musical imagination of a high order combined with astonishing technical skills.

An assessment of waste management efficiency at BAA airports (2003)
Journal Article
Pitt, M., & Smith, A. (2003). An assessment of waste management efficiency at BAA airports. Construction Management and Economics, 21(4), 421-431. https://doi.org/10.1080/0144619032000089599

The issue of waste management within airports is becoming increasingly important with enormous increases in passenger numbers and is a key responsibility of the facilities manager. Airports are notoriously poor environmental performers and this growt... Read More about An assessment of waste management efficiency at BAA airports.

The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells (2003)
Thesis
McCourt, I. The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254603

To carry out remedial work in the oil producing wells through the production tubing string, a method using a continuous length of steel tubing or coiled tubing is used, that allows quick access to the well. Coiled tubing can also be used for drilling... Read More about The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells.

Social welfare aspects of information with special reference to news. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duff, A. (2003, June). Social welfare aspects of information with special reference to news. Presented at IADIS (International Association for Development of the Information Society) International Conference on e-Society

The information society thesis, according to which economically advanced nations are undergoing transformation into post-industrial, information-based societies, can, with caveats, be taken as a premise. Essentially empirical or predictive, this infl... Read More about Social welfare aspects of information with special reference to news..

The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland (2003)
Journal Article
Woods-Ballard, A., Parsons, E., Velander, K., Hughes, A., Ladle, R., & Warburton, C. (2003). The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland. Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 11(1), 40-55. https://doi.org/10.1080/09669580308667192

Scotland's tourism trade grosses £2.5 billion annually and supports 180,000 jobs; whale-watching is an important part of this activity. Whales and dolphins are the country's number one wildlife attraction and with 11,770 km of coastline the potential... Read More about The Sustainability of Whale-watching in Scotland.
