Developing a model of franchise business relationships (2008)
Journal Article
Rahatullah, M. K., & Raeside, R. (2008). Developing a model of franchise business relationships. Central Asia Business Journal, 1, 21-33

The business to business (b2b) relationship literature shows that the features of business relationship such as control, support, cooperation and power act a little differently in franchise business. Information on, and identification of the actions... Read More about Developing a model of franchise business relationships.

The aging Scottish population: trends, consequences, responses (2008)
Journal Article
Raeside, R., & Khan, H. T. A. (2008). The aging Scottish population: trends, consequences, responses. Canadian studies in population, 35, 291-310

The population of Scotland is projected to decrease despite recent increases in fertility and an excess of immigrants over emigrants. The reason for the projected decline is the result of prolonged low fertility. The most immediate effect is ageing o...

Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prokofieva, E., & Smith, S. (2008). Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings.

The standard method of sound insulation testing in dwellings is pre-completion testing of separating walls and
floors during the building process. The main disadvantage of this method is that if these structures fail to comply
with building standar... Read More about Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings..

A comparison of missing value imputation methods for classifying patient outcome following trauma injury. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Penny, K. I., & Chesney, T. (2008, June). A comparison of missing value imputation methods for classifying patient outcome following trauma injury. Presented at Information Technology Interfaces 2008

A study is designed to compare several missing value imputation methods to enable classification of patient outcome following trauma injury. The Glasgow coma score is a measure of head injury severity, and is known to be important in determining pati...

Book Chapter
Pearson, M. (2008). Decision frontiers in supply chain networks. In A. Dwivedi, & T. Butcher (Eds.), Supply Chain Management and Knowledge Management: Integrating critical perspectives in theory and practice (137-150). Palgrave MacMillan

We outline a new approach to the analysis of supply chains which uncovers a duality between networks as knowledge structures and networks as decision-making structures. The work incorporates a network transformation which introduces, under fairly gen... Read More about Decision frontiers in supply chain networks..

Modelling motorcyclist injury severity by various crash types at T-junctions in the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Pai, C., & Saleh, W. (2008). Modelling motorcyclist injury severity by various crash types at T-junctions in the UK. Safety Science, 46, 1234-1247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2007.07.005

Motorcyclists tend to be more vulnerable to injuries than those using other motorised vehicles and this may act synergistically with the complexity of conflicting movements between vehicles and motorcycles to increase injury severity in a junction-ty...

Exploring motorcyclist injury severity in approach-turn collisions at T-junctions: Focusing on the effects of driver's failure to yield and junction control measures (2008)
Journal Article
Pai, C., & Saleh, W. (2008). Exploring motorcyclist injury severity in approach-turn collisions at T-junctions: Focusing on the effects of driver's failure to yield and junction control measures. Accident analysis and prevention, 40, 479-486. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2007.08.003

Research has suggested that motorcyclists involved in approach-turn crashes were much more injurious than any other crash-type. This paper investigates the determinants of motorcyclist injury severity resulting from such crash types that occurred at...
