Social entrepreneurship and local economic development (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W. (2002). Social entrepreneurship and local economic development.

Social entrepreneurs can have an important role in the development of local communities. They effectively lead innovative and entrepreneurial changes in social organisations or arenas, with not-for-profit motives. Social entrepreneurs: focus upon soc...

Hydrophobically Modified Associative Polymer Solutions: Rheology and Microstructure in the Presence of Nonionic Surfactants (2002)
Journal Article
English, R. J., Laurer, J. H., Spontak, R. J., & Khan, S. A. (2002). Hydrophobically Modified Associative Polymer Solutions: Rheology and Microstructure in the Presence of Nonionic Surfactants. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 41(25), 6425-643

We report on the rheology and morphology of a hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsion (HASE) polymer solubilized in alkaline media containing nonionic surfactants. The HASE polymer consists of complex alkylaryl hydrophobes composed of oli...

Multiple overlapping classifications: issues and solutions (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raguenaud, C., & Kennedy, J. (2002). Multiple overlapping classifications: issues and solutions. In J. Kennedy (Ed.), Proceedings of 14th International conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management - SSDBM 2002 (77-86). https://doi.org/10.1

This paper discusses issues and solutions for supporting multiple overlapping classifications in database systems. These classifications are commonly found in science, although they are often ignored in computing applications for scientific data, and...

The use of cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users (2002)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P., & Robinson, P. (2002). The use of cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users. Universal Access in the Information Society, 2(1), 18-29. https://doi.org/10.1007/S10209-002-0033-7

?Point and click? interactions remain one of the key features of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). People with motion-impairments, however, can often have difficulty with accurate control of standard pointing devices. This paper discusses work that a...

Interactions between ultrafine particles and transition metals in vivo and in vitro. (2002)
Journal Article
Wilson, M. R., Lightbody, J., Donaldson, K., Sales, J., & Stone, V. (2002). Interactions between ultrafine particles and transition metals in vivo and in vitro. Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 184(3), 172-179. https://doi.org/10.1006/taap.2002.9501

Both the ultrafine particle and transition metal components of particulate air pollution (PM10) have been hypothesized to be important factors in determining toxicity and potential adverse health effects. In this study we aimed to investigate interac... Read More about Interactions between ultrafine particles and transition metals in vivo and in vitro..

Diversity, biomass and ecosystem processes in the marine benthos. (2002)
Journal Article
Bolam, S. G., Fernandes, T. F., & Huxham, M. (2002). Diversity, biomass and ecosystem processes in the marine benthos. Ecological monographs, 72(4), 599-615. https://doi.org/10.1890/0012-9615%282002%29072%5B0599%3Adbaepi%5D2.0.co%3B2

Recent studies in terrestrial, plant-dominated systems have shown that reductions in diversity can affect essential ecosystem processes, especially productivity. However, the exact form of the relationship between diversity and ecosystem functions re... Read More about Diversity, biomass and ecosystem processes in the marine benthos..

The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. (2002)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, J., & Otali, E. (2002). The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. Canadian Journal of Zoology, 80(10), 1795-1802. https://doi.org/10.1139/z02-113

The effects of food availability and distribution on population dynamics have been the subject of numerous experimental studies, but no study has quantified the effects of a concentrated supplementary food supply on groups of a social carnivore. We i... Read More about The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose..

An investigation of factors associated with traffic accident and casualty risk in Scotland. (2002)
Thesis
White, D. I. An investigation of factors associated with traffic accident and casualty risk in Scotland. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2782

An investigation was conducted to identify factors associated with traffic accident involvement and traffic casualty involvement of road users in Scotland. This was done to determine to what extent accident and casualty involvement are related, and...
