Practice of and attitudes toward breast self-examination (BSE): a cross-cultural comparison between younger women in Scotland and Greece. (2004)
Journal Article
Chouliara, Z., Papadioti-Athanasiou, V., Power, K., & Swanson, V. (2004). Practice of and attitudes toward breast self-examination (BSE): a cross-cultural comparison between younger women in Scotland and Greece. Health Care for Women International, 25(4), 311-333. https://doi.org/10.1080/07399330490278385

Breast self-examination (BSE) is a method of early detection of breast cancer. Although BSE is recommended for all women, it is mostly suitable and readily available for younger women. BSE beliefs and practices of women in Scotland, a country with or...

The factors influencing future concessionary bus patronage in Scotland and their implications for elsewhere (2004)
Journal Article
Rye, T., & Scotney, D. (2004). The factors influencing future concessionary bus patronage in Scotland and their implications for elsewhere. Transport Policy, 11(2), 133-140. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2003.09.005

Recent changes in UK transport policy have seen the introduction of more generous concessionary travel for elderly people on local buses. However, the increase in patronage that these changes may bring masks another significant influence on elderly p...

Inter-population dispersal by adult stoneflies detected by stable isotope enrichment (2004)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., Gee, J. H. R., Cariss, H. M., & Geoghegan, R. (2004). Inter-population dispersal by adult stoneflies detected by stable isotope enrichment. Freshwater Biology, 49(4), 425-431. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2427.2004.01198.x

1. Dispersal of adult stream insects may be of considerable importance in regional population dynamics and colonisation of new sites, but quantifying the rate and extent of dispersal is difficult.

2. We used stable isotope (15N) enrichment to mark... Read More about Inter-population dispersal by adult stoneflies detected by stable isotope enrichment.

Equipment for the investigation of the accelerated curing of concrete using direct electrical conduction (2004)
Journal Article
Wilson, J. G., & Gupta, N. K. (2004). Equipment for the investigation of the accelerated curing of concrete using direct electrical conduction. Measurement : journal of the International Measurement Confederation, 35(3), 243-250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2003.11.002

The need for accelerated curing of concrete in precast civil engineering components is discussed, and the techniques available to achieve this are presented, with particular emphasis on the use of direct electrical conduction.

The principles of th... Read More about Equipment for the investigation of the accelerated curing of concrete using direct electrical conduction.

Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chattratichart, J., & Brodie, J. (2004). Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics. In CHI EA '04 CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 1119-1122. doi:10.1145/985921.986003

The lack of standard assessment criteria for reliably comparing usability evaluation methods (UEMs) is an important gap in HCI knowledge. Recently, metrics for assessing thoroughness, validity, and effectiveness of UEMs, based on user data, have been... Read More about Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics..

The emerging role of E2F-1 in the DNA damage response and checkpoint control. (2004)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & La Thangue, N. B. (2004). The emerging role of E2F-1 in the DNA damage response and checkpoint control. DNA Repair, 3(8-9), 1071-1079. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dnarep.2004.03.034

Genotoxic stress triggers a myriad of cellular responses including cell cycle arrest, stimulation of {DNA} repair and apoptosis. A central role for the E2F-1 transcription factor in the {DNA} damage response pathway is gaining support. E2F-1 is phosp...

Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R., Mutardi, M., Excell, P. S., & Vaul, J. (2004). Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A20040488

The standard finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method requires extremely small time-step sizes when modelling electrically-small regions: the method can thus become impractical due to the unaffordable computation times required. Implementation of... Read More about Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media.

Design for participation: providing access to e-information for older adults (2004)
Journal Article

Electronic information sources are becoming increasingly more prolific and offer a huge potential for those able to use them. However, for those unable to access those services, there is the risk of being further disadvantaged by continued exclusion...
