Study of the taking of a patients’ history by telephone prior to clinic attendance and co-ordinating investigations for new respiratory patients showed a reduction in hospital attendances with no detrimental impact on patients (ERS 2010). Health serv... Read More about S12 Pre-clinic telephone consultations: a costing study.

S10 Is it cost-effective to replace nurses with lay asthma educators in primary care? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roberts, N. J., Boyd, K., Briggs, A., Caress, A. L., & Partridge, M. R. (2010). S10 Is it cost-effective to replace nurses with lay asthma educators in primary care?. Thorax, 65(suppl 4), A8. https://doi.org/10.1136/thx.2010.150912.10

Introduction: Regular review of those with asthma and support for self-management is promoted in guidelines and encouraged by the Quality Outcomes Framework. Reasons for non-implementation include lack of time and training. A large randomised control... Read More about S10 Is it cost-effective to replace nurses with lay asthma educators in primary care?.

Application of evolutionary algorithms to learning evolved Bayesian Network models of rig operations in the Gulf of Mexico (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fournier, F. A., Wu, Y., McCall, J., Petrovski, A., & Barclay, P. J. (2010, September). Application of evolutionary algorithms to learning evolved Bayesian Network models of rig operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Presented at 2010 UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI), Colchester, UK

The operation of drilling rigs is highly expensive. It is therefore important to be able to identify and analyse variables affecting rig operations. We investigate the use of Genetic Algorithms and Ant Colony Optimisation to induce a Bayesian Network...

Negotiating Intercultural Border Crossings: How People from Diverse Cultural and Linguistic Backgrounds Negotiate Communication and Establish Relations (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Victoria, M. (2010, November). Negotiating Intercultural Border Crossings: How People from Diverse Cultural and Linguistic Backgrounds Negotiate Communication and Establish Relations. Paper presented at 18th Sociolinguistics Symposium, University of Southampton

There has been a wealth of studies from a variety of disciplines that explore the complex relations between language and culture. However, many of these investigations tend to focus disproportionately on how cultural differences often contribute to m...

A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Barker, M., & Munoz, J. (2010). A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources.

The gel-type DML transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) excites a panel to radiate sound waves through the gel surround. The panel breaks into different characteristic modes of vibration as frequency increases. At high frequenci...
