    • Cross-spectral properties of a spatial point-lattice process 

      Kanaan, M. N.; Taylor, Paul C.; Mugglestone, M. A. (2008-12-15)
      This paper shows how spectral analysis can be used to study a hybrid process involving a spatial point process and a lattice process. Asymptotic distributions of spectral statistics for such processes are derived.

    • Student research projects: the experiences of student dietitians, university faculty members, and collaborators 

      Whelan, Kevin; Thomas, Jane E; Madden, Angela M (2007)

      This text is an invaluable guide to pre-registration nursing programmes, aimed at students of degree or diploma level, and for those on post-registration courses. This revised edition portrays the requirements of contemporary ...

    • Making progress in psychosocial research in dementia 

      Lliffe, S.; Manthorpe, J.; Warner, J.; Drennan, V.; Goodman, Claire; Rait, G.; Kharicha, K. (2008)
      This article describes the advent of greater research funding for the study of organizations and practice in dementia care in the UK, and the development of research infrastructures. It sets out a series of challenges that ...

    • Robots - the new linguistic informants? 

      Cowley, Stephen (2008)
      Many have compared real robots with stars like HAL9000 and R2D2. Engineers and others who design such machines like to be reminded of movie heroes. As a result, while science fiction affects robotics, cognitive science ...

    • Fit for purpose? OASys assessments and parole decisions 

      Fitzgibbon, Diana (2008)
      This article arose out of the increased focus by the public, government and professions on whether parole board decisions, and the risk assessments that inform those decisions, protect the public sufficiently in the light ...
