This article argues for the potential use of lifestyle segmentation in order to achieve psychographic matching between hosts and guests in Bed and Breakfast and homestay accommodation. The discussion draws on research conducted in home-hosted accommo... Read More about Host-Guest Dating: The Potential of Improving the Customer Experience Through Host-Guest Psychographic Matching.

You don't know what you've got till it's gone: Recontextualising the origins, development and impact of the call centre (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ellis, V., & Taylor, P. (2005, March). You don't know what you've got till it's gone: Recontextualising the origins, development and impact of the call centre. Paper presented at 21st International Labour Process Conference, Glasgow

This paper locates the emergence of call centres within the broader political economy. We demonstrate how British Gas responded to privatisation, restrictive regulation and the need to deliver shareholder value by radically changing work organisation...

Mitochondrial D-loop mutations and deletion profiles of cancerous and noncancerous liver tissue in hepatitis B virus-infected liver (2005)
Journal Article
Wheelhouse, N. M., Lai, P. B. S., Wigmore, S. J., Ross, J. A., & Harrison, D. J. (2005). Mitochondrial D-loop mutations and deletion profiles of cancerous and noncancerous liver tissue in hepatitis B virus-infected liver. British Journal of Cancer, 92(7),

The largest single underlying cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide is hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Hepatitis B virus increases cellular oxidative stress and the development of HCC occurs after a long latency period. The study was c...

An additional term, based... Read More about Hybrid HOS-SOS approach for blind equalisation of communication channels.

Blind image deconvolution using space-variant neural network approach (2005)
Journal Article
Cheema, T., Qureshi, I., & Hussain, A. (2005). Blind image deconvolution using space-variant neural network approach. Electronics Letters, 41(6), 308-309

A novel space-variant neural network based on an autoregressive moving average process is proposed for blind image deconvolution. An extended cost function motivated by human visual perception is developed simultaneously to identify the blur and to r...

Modernizing UK health services:‘short-sharp-shock’reform, the NHS subsistence economy, and the spectre of health care famine (2005)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2005). Modernizing UK health services:‘short-sharp-shock’reform, the NHS subsistence economy, and the spectre of health care famine. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 11(2), 111-119. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1

Modernization is the trend for societies to grow functionally more complex, efficient and productive. Modernization usually occurs by increased specialization of function (e.g. division of labour, such as the proliferation of specialists  in  medicin...

Adult aquatic insects emerging from streams can subsidize riparian food webs, but little is known of the spatial extent of these subsidies. Stable isotope (15N) enrichment of aquatic insects, principally a species of stonefly (Plecoptera: Leuctridae)...

Transcription of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses is initiated by cap snatching: a host mRNA is cleaved generally at 10–20 nt from its 5′ capped end and the resulting capped leader used to prime viral transcription. For Tomato spotted wilt virus... Read More about Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template.
