Polly Peck: the breaking of an entrepreneur? (1996)
Journal Article
Gallagher, J., Lauchlan, J., & Steven, M. (1996). Polly Peck: the breaking of an entrepreneur?. Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development, 3(1), 3-12. https://doi.org/10.1108/eb020960

Asil Nadir stands accused of fraud and theft. The sums involved are massive. He is openly accused of the misappropriation of about £371 million. In private, the figure is thought to be substantially greater. However, contradictory views are promoted... Read More about Polly Peck: the breaking of an entrepreneur?.

Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses (1996)
Journal Article
Florida-james, G., Wallymahmed, A., & Reilly, T. (1996). Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses. Chronobiology International, 13(1), 59-69. https://doi.org/10.3109/07420529609040842

Daily mood changes were monitored over successive 24-h periods using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) (3) to assess the effect of nocturnal shiftwork on mood. Twenty-three student nurses, age range 19-24 years, were studied throughout their first ex... Read More about Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses.

A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames (1996)
Journal Article
Kermani, A. (1996). A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames. International Journal of Forest Engineering, 7(2), 17-33. https://doi.org/10.1080/08435243.1996.10702682

In this paper a study is made of the semi-rigid and non-linear behaviour of nailed knee joints in timber frames. A numerical analysis is applied to the non-linear deformation of the joints. The solution is derived using the stiffness method of analys... Read More about A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames.

Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Singleton, I., & Simmons, P. (1996). Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 65(1), 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-4660%28199601%2965%3A13.0.CO%3B2-E

Factors affecting silver biosorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass, obtained as a waste product from industry, were examined. Maximum removal of silver from solution was achieved within 5 min. Increasing the concentration of biomass in experime... Read More about Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines (1996)
Journal Article
Bates, C., Jelly, I., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines. Distributed and Parallel Databases, 4(1), 5-23. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00122146

Parallel servers offer improved processing power for relational database systems and provide system scalability. In order to support the users of these systems, new ways of assessing the performance of such machines are required. If these assessments...
