Program slicing-based cohesion measurement: the challenges of replicating studies using metrics
(ACM Press, 2011)It is important to develop corpuses of data to test out the efficacy of using metrics. Replicated studies are an important contribution to corpuses of metrics data. There are few replicated studies using metrics reported ... -
Modal description of vibratory behaviour of structures using fuzzy membership functions
(2004-12-01)A method is developed to model vibratory systems in terms of their modal shapes estimated by fuzzy membership functions and updated by use of frequency response functions. In this method, fuzzy output membership functions ... -
Improvement of newman's model on fatigue crack closure
(2006-01-01)Newman had brought his crack closure model. It is done well in simple closure model, but it is not exactitude when there is a complex elastic-plastic region in crack front and has a variety stress-ratio. The paper improved ... -
Improved fatigue and damage tolerant material design for aerospace industry
(2005-11-01)Various micro-mechanical and micro-structural influences on fatigue crack growth resistance of the material have been investigated over the years. It is widely recognized that resistance to fatigue crack growth can be ... -
Unchained memory: Error patterns rule out chaining models of immediate serial recall
(1996-02)Many models of serial recall assume a chaining mechanism whereby each item associatively evokes the next in sequence. Chaining predicts that, when sequences comprise alternating confusable and non-confusable items, confusable ... -
Can self-care health books affect amount of contact with the primary health care team? : A randomized controlled trial in general practice
(2005-09)Objective: To investigate the effects of two differently styled self-care health books in general practice on the frequency and duration of patients' consultations and their views of the books. Design: Random allocation ... -
Opto-Thermal Transient Emission Radiometry (OTTER) to image diffusion in nails in vivo
(2011-03-15)This work describes the first application of Opto-Thermal Transient Emission Radiometry (OTTER), an infrared remote sensing technique, to probe the extent to which solvents permeate the human nail in vivo. Decanol, glycerol ... -
Innovation Management: a subjective process
(2007)This research article explores the role of subjectivity in innovation management, by discussing the important impact that group symbolic interpretation has on their interpretative systems, and the relationship this has on ... -
Subjectivity in Innovation Management
(2004)A major emphasis of modern new product development management involves the role of innovation. Researchers and managers alike have devoted significant amounts of time for decades to both understand and manage the innovation ... -

Solid-state O-17 NMR spectroscopy of a phospholemman transmembrane domain protein : Implications for the limits of detecting dilute 170 sites in biomaterials
(2008-05)The O-17-'diluted' glycine-14 sites in a phospholemman (PLM) transmembrane domain protein are characterized by solid-state O-17 NMR spectroscopy. The PLM transmembrane domain is an a-helical tetramer unit of four 28-residue ... -
Snacking patterns according to location among Northern Ireland children
(2010-05)Objective:To examine the influence of location on snack intake among Northern Ireland (NI) children aged 5-8 years. Methods: Dietary intake was assessed by 7-day weighed dietary records. Parents/children self defined type ... -
Glaciohydraulic supercooling
(2009-10)In this progress report we review recent work which has investigated the process of glaciohydraulic supercooling and its significance for a range of glaciological and geological phenomena. Since our last report (Knight and ... -
Motivation in software engineering: a systematic literature review
(2008-08)Objective: In this paper, we present a systematic literature review of motivation in Software Engineering. The objective of this review is to plot the landscape of current reported knowledge in terms of what motivates ... -
Communication and complexity in a GRN-based multicellular system for graph colouring
(2008)Artificial Genetic Regulatory Networks (GRNs) are interesting control models through their simplicity and versatility. They can be easily implemented, evolved and modified, and their similarity to their biological counterparts ... -
Motivation, achievements and failure of strategic alliances: The case of Swedish auto-manufacturers in Russia
(2005)A large number of industrial manufacturers are forming various types of alliances in a bid to improve their competitive position. The number of strategic alliances has almost doubled in the past ten years and is expected ... -
Polymorphic control of inhalation microparticles prepared by crystallization
(2008-09-01)Milling processes are known to cause polymorphic transition in enantiotropic systems and the micronization process employed to produce microparticles for inhalation formulations has been reported to result in solid-state ... -
Comparison of salmeterol xinafoate microparticle production by conventional and novel antisolvent crystallization
(2008-05)The production of microparticles for inhalation has relied on jet-milling while the potential for crystallization of microparticles has remained underexplored until relatively recently. Aqueous antisolvent crystallization ... -
Validation of a reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for concurrent assay of a weak base (salmeterol xinafoate) and a pharmacologically active steroid (fluticasone propionate)
(2006-03-18)The analysis of weakly basic drugs Such as salmeterol xinafoate (SX) by reverse-phase liquid chromatography remains a problem, particularly when present in combination with other drugs such as steroids and weak acids. This ...
