Construing the construction processes of serial killers and other violent offenders: 1. The analysis of narratives
(2007)This article presents analyses of two narratives: a book written by a serial killer, Ian Brady, and an autobiographical account written by a serially violent offender. In both cases, the narrative was subjected to a content ... -
Psychological Contract : Development and Management of Professional Workers
(Open University Press, 2009)The book seeks to make sense of the organizational experiences of the professional worker by drawing on several areas of research, including the psychological contract, social identity theory, theories of career development ... -
The history of irrigation and water control in the Lake Erhai Catchment, Yunnan Province, China: mitigation and adaptation to environmental and climate change
(Springer Nature Link, 2008)This chapter introduces an interdisciplinary methodology, which combines the use of archaeological and documentary sources alongside environmental proxy indicators found in sedimentary archives, to assess on a hydrological ... -

Dispersoid and grain size effects on fatigue crack growth in AA2024-type alloys
(2000-01-01)Fatigue crack growth resistance is known to be influenced by a combination of intrinsic materials behaviour and crack shielding processes. In metallic alloys, shielding due to crack closure is known to be important, however, ... -
Design principles from traditional mountain irrigation systems (bisses) in the Valais, Switzerland
(1999-05)The bisses are a traditional mountain irrigation system constructed in response to periodic water deficit during the summer months in the Valais canton of Switzerland. The origins of the bisse system can be traced back to ... -
A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig and sample geometry effect in four-point bend fatigue
(1999-10)A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig was designed and made which can minimise the possible misalignment associated with a four-point bend test and be used to study the fatigue of materials both at room and elevated ... -
Assessment of the fatigue life in relation to cylinder-nozzle corner cracks
(1991)Based on former studies this paper deals with both the front shape variation of nozzle corner cracks and the calculation of crack propagation rates. An approximate method describing fatigue crack growth at nozzle corners ... -
Approximate expressions of maximum value of stress intensity factor of nozzle corner cracks
(1988-01-01)Based on the flat plate-nozzle model loaded by uniform uniaxial tension, through some suitable reduction and approximation, the maximum value of stress intensity factor (K) along a crack front can be expressed by the weight ... -
An approximate expression of KImax for sphere/nozzle corner cracks
(1996-08-01)Based on the flat-nozzle model loaded by uniform biaxial tension, using the O-integral of the weight function method and introducing suitable free-surface correcting factors M, M, and a curvature correcting factor M, an ... -
Multimodal security enforcement framework for wireless ad hoc networks
(ACM Press, 2009)Securing wireless ad hoc networks in an untrustworthy open environment is always a challenging problem. Lack of central auditing on security and weak incentive for cooperation among nodes in an open network scenario demand ... -
Pharmacotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2011-11-01)We present a narrative review of evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), covering first-line pharmacological treatment, augmentation strategies, approaches for treatment-refractory OCD and the ... -
Explorations of a crisis intervention service
(1987)Descriptive studies of a crisis intervention service replicated previous findings of relationships between staff members' attitudes towards treatment and their 'personal styles'. The attitudes and personal styles of crisis ... -
Personal styles, constructive alternativism and the provision of a therapeutic service
(1985)A series of studies on the 'personal styles' of clients and therapists is reviewed, and their findings are drawn together within the framework of personal construct theory. It is argued that the technical eclecticism of ... -
Intersectional Sensibilities in Analysing Inequality Regimes in Public Sector Organizations
(2011-09)Using Acker's conceptual framework of inequality regimes, this article explores the experiences of Bangladeshi, Caribbean and Pakistani women working in three parts of the public sector: health, local government and higher ... -
Stellar and Gas Kinematics in the core and bar regions of M100
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)Two-dimensional maps of the stellar and gas kinematics of the bar and starbursting circumnuclear region in the barred spiral galaxy M100 are presented. In this progress report, we present maps of the total intensity, mean ... -
Reading "24" : TV against the clock
(I.B. Tauris, 2007)When the series of ‘24’ began screening in 2001, Time magazine branded it one of the 'Best Television Events of the Decade'. The series has since made itself known as both pioneering and controversial which has changed the ... -
