    • Slot rattling from law enforcement to lawbreaking : a personal construct theory exploration of police stress 

      Winter, David (1993)
      Law enforcement is a highly stressful occupation, although the primary stressors involved are different from what might be expected. These stressors, and police officers' responses to them, were examined from the perspective ...

      Gledenov, Y.M.; Koehler, P. E.; Andrzejewski, J.; Guber, K. H.; Rauscher, T. (2000-10)
      We have measured the Sm-147(n, alpha) cross section from 3 eV to 500 keV. These data were used to test nuclear statistical models which must be relied on to calculate the rates for as yet unmeasurable reactions occurring ...

    • Smacking: a family perspective

      Several theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first thousand million years after the Big ...

    • Small business development and tourism: Terra incognita? 

      Page, S.J.; Forer, P.; Lawton, G.R. (1999-08-01)
      This paper argues that the relationship between tourism and small business remains terra incognita because much of the existing research is published in diverse sources and fails to explicitly contribute to methodological ...

    • Small business growth through franchising : A qualitative investigation 

      Watson, Anna (2008-04-01)
      Although franchising has long been recognised as an attractive means of growing a business, the impact of franchising for small businesses is an area that is relatively less researched and understood. Whilst resource ...

    • Small Change: Economics and the British coin-tree 

      Houlbrook, Ceri (2015-06-23)
      Throughout the c.2000 year period coins have been circulated in Britain, they have also been ritually employed, most notably as votive deposits. Focusing specifically on the understudied custom of the British coin-tree, ...
