Mismatch in local labour market in central Scotland: the neglected role of demand. (2002)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Greig, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (2002). Mismatch in local labour market in central Scotland: the neglected role of demand. Urban Studies, 39(8), 1399-1416. https://doi.org/10.1080/00420980220142691

This paper presents a model of mismatch unemployment in two local labour markets in Scotland. A total of seven possible sources of such unemployment are identified and examined within the context of a predominantly urban area and a mixed urban-rural...

Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. (2002)
Journal Article
Davenport, E. (2002). Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 53, 1038-1046. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.10110

Knowledge management is discussed in the context of articulation work, that is routine interactions in groups of local practice. In such situations, knowledge is largely acquired and maintained by learning from the appropriate behavior of others by m...

An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET) (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Spurgeon, S., Goh, K., & Jones, B. (2002, July). An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET). Presented at 7th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems

Diesel engines have become a common source of power, both for vehicles and for static equipment because they are fuel efficient, robust and reliable. It is important that diesel engines are robustly controlled in order to maintain efficiency, minimi...

Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2002). Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. . https://doi.org/10.1109/IV.2002.1028809

Current techniques for visualising large-scale microarray data are unable to present temporal features without reducing the number of elements being displayed. This paper introduces a technique that overcomes this problem by combining a novel display... Read More about Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data..

Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Schulenburg, S., Marin-Blazquez, J. G., & Hart, E. (2002). Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems.

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) often appear to be a ‘black box’, neither offering worst-case bounds nor any guarantee of optimality when used to solve individual problems. They can also take much longer than non-evolutionary methods. We try to addres... Read More about Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems..

Banking: All You Want to Know Without the Jargon (2002)
Book
Cameron, J. (2002). Banking: All You Want to Know Without the Jargon. (1). Cape Town, South Africa: Pearson Education South Africa

Banks have become like supermarkets when it comes to the variety of financial products and services they offer to a wide spectrum of customers.

Developing a practical inclusive interface design approach (2002)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002). Developing a practical inclusive interface design approach. Interacting with Computers, 14(4), 271-299. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0953-5438%2801%2900054-6

It is known that many products, both software and hardware, are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively design for able-bodied users and are either unaware of the needs of users with different capabilities, or do n...

Effect of maternal undernutrition on fetal testicular steroidogenesis during the CNS androgen-responsive period in male sheep fetuses (2002)
Journal Article
Rae, M., Rhind, S., Fowler, P., Miller, D. W., Kyle, C., & Brooks, A. (2002). Effect of maternal undernutrition on fetal testicular steroidogenesis during the CNS androgen-responsive period in male sheep fetuses. Reproduction, 124, 33-39. https://doi.org/10.1530/rep.0.1240033

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of maternal undernutrition, applied during physiologically relevant stages of development of the reproductive system, on reproductive development in male sheep fetuses. Groups of ewes (n = 11-19) wer... Read More about Effect of maternal undernutrition on fetal testicular steroidogenesis during the CNS androgen-responsive period in male sheep fetuses.

A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodham, C. A., & Su, H. (2002, July). A symbolic investigation of controller design for a single inverted pendulum system. Paper presented at ICCAM 2002

The two dimensional inverted pendulum is unstable in that it may fall over at any time in either direction unless a suitable control force is applied. This paper designs a controller numerically and symbolically by using Ackermann's formula of the Po...

Diaper's critical review of Carrol's book ‘Making Use’ raises a number of interesting issues about how to set about the design of interactive systems. In particular Diaper poses an issue that has long dogged the area of Human–Computer Interaction and... Read More about Scenarios and the HCI-SE design problem.

Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay. (2002)
Journal Article
Curling, S., Clausen, C. A., & Winandy, J. E. (2002). Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay. Forest Products Journal, 52, 34-39

Incipient decay of wood by brown-rot fungi causes measurable strength losses in wood before measurable weight loss occurs. Previous studies have shown that the high levels of strength loss that occur during incipient brown-rot decay may be related to...

In keeping with many species of waterbirds, there is little difference in the body size or external appearance of adult male and female Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus). Previous work has indicated that some morphological characteristics and behavio... Read More about Sexing Northern Gannets from DNA, Morphology and Behavior.
