Employee Voice and Training at Work: An Analysis of Case Studies and WERS98: (579712011-001) (2003)
Report
Rainbird, H., Sutherland, J., Edwards, P., Holly, L., & Munro, A. (2003). Employee Voice and Training at Work: An Analysis of Case Studies and WERS98: (579712011-001). PsycEXTRA Dataset: Department of Trade and Industry

Developed institutions of employee voice are rare across British industry. Case study evidence suggests that approaches to training are more effective when management and employees are jointly involved in decision-making. They also reveal tension bet...

The Application of the Wavelet Transform to Polysomnographic Signals (2003)
Journal Article
MacCallum, M., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2003). The Application of the Wavelet Transform to Polysomnographic Signals. International Journal of Wavelets, Multiresolution and Information Processing, 01(03), 263-274. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219691303000116

Polysomnographic (sleep) signals are recorded from patients exhibiting symptoms of a suspected sleep disorder such as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). These non-stationary signals are characterised by having both quantitative information in the freque... Read More about The Application of the Wavelet Transform to Polysomnographic Signals.

The performance of a new blind bolt for moment-resisting connections. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tizani, W., & Ridley-Ellis, D. (2003, September). The performance of a new blind bolt for moment-resisting connections. Presented at 10th International Symposium Tubular Structures X

The paper introduces the principal findings of a testing programme carried out to assess the performance of a newly developed blind-bolt. The blind-bolt, an evolution of the Lindapter-Hollobolt, is in-tended for use when making moment-resisting conne...

Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure. (2003)
Thesis
Ramage, L. environmental particle exposure. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2778

This thesis investigates the effects of various inflammatory stimuli, including cytokines and air pollution particles, on the expression and secretion of various proinflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549. The pro-inflammatory pro... Read More about Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure..

A unique working environment: health, sickness and absence management in UK call centres. (2003)
Journal Article
Taylor, P., Baldry, C., Bain, P., & Ellis, V. (2003). A unique working environment: health, sickness and absence management in UK call centres. Work, Employment and Society, 17(3), 435-458. https://doi.org/10.1177/09500170030173002

This article fills an important gap in our knowledge of call centres by focusing specifically on occupational ill-health. We document the recent emergence of health and safety concerns, assess the responses of employers and the Health and Safety Exec...

Thermal modelling and optimization of heat transfer in a high-temperature theatre luminaire (2003)
Journal Article
Anderson, D. E., Truslove, T. E., & Kubie, J. (2003). Thermal modelling and optimization of heat transfer in a high-temperature theatre luminaire. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 217(9), 1039-1048. https://doi.org/10.1243/095440603322407272

A computational fluid dynamics model has been developed to predict the thermal performance of high-temperature theatre luminaires. The theoretical results are in good agreement with available experimental data. The model has been used to investigate...

Rent-seeking behaviour and its economic costs in urban land transactions in Accra, Ghana. (2003)
Journal Article
Adams, J. (2003). Rent-seeking behaviour and its economic costs in urban land transactions in Accra, Ghana. Urban Studies, 40(10), 2083-2098. https://doi.org/10.1080/0042098032000116121

The existing body of knowledge attributes to informal land transactions in sub-Saharan African cities observed problems in city neighbourhoods. Substantial resources, often backed by donor agencies, are therefore being spent in revamping bureaux and...

Borrowed theory: applying exchange theories in information science research. (2003)
Journal Article
Hall, H. (2003). Borrowed theory: applying exchange theories in information science research. Library and Information Science Research, 25(3), 287-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0740-8188%2803%2900031-8

This article discusses the applicability of “borrowing” theory originally developed in other disciplines to information science research, and, in particular, the analytical concepts and assumptions of social exchange theory as a framework for explori...

Lymphoedema: an underestimated health problem. (2003)
Journal Article
Mortimer, P., Franks, P., Doherty, D., Williams, A., Jeffs, E., Bosanquet, N., Moffatt, C., & Badger, C. (2003). Lymphoedema: an underestimated health problem. QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 96(10), 731-873. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hcg126

Background: Lymphoedema/chronic oedema is an important cause of morbidity in the population, but little is known of its epidemiology and impact on patients or health services.

Aim: To determine the magnitude of the problem of chronic oedema in the... Read More about Lymphoedema: an underestimated health problem..

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..
