Recording forces exerted on the bowel wall during colonoscopy: in vitro evaluation. (2005)
Journal Article
Dogramadzi, S., Virk, G. S., Bell, G. D., Rowland, R. S., & Hancock, J. (2005). Recording forces exerted on the bowel wall during colonoscopy: in vitro evaluation. International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, 1(4), 89-97. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcs.61

A novel system for distributed force measurement between the bowel wall and the shaft of a colonoscope is presented. The system, based on the piezoresistive method, involves the integration of soft miniature transducers to a colonoscope to enable a w...

Who benefits from widening participation? A study of targeting in the South West of England (2005)
Journal Article
Hatt, S., Baxter, A., & Tate, J. (2005). Who benefits from widening participation? A study of targeting in the South West of England. Journal of Further and Higher Education, 29(4), 341-351. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098770500353508

As the Aimhigher programme is a targeted initiative, partnerships have to find ways of locating groups that are under-represented in higher education (HE) and selecting participants for interventions. If the selection criteria are not robust, resourc... Read More about Who benefits from widening participation? A study of targeting in the South West of England.

EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism (2005)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Melhuish, C., Greenman, J., & Horsfield, I. (2005). EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism. International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2(4), 295-300. https://doi.org/10.5772/5777

In this paper we report the development of the robot EcoBot-II, which exhibits a primitive form of artificial symbiosis. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) were used as the onboard energy supply, which consisted of bacterial cultures from sewage sludge and...

Linear stability and energy growth of viscosity stratified flows (2005)
Journal Article
Hooper, A. P., & Malik, S. V. (2005). Linear stability and energy growth of viscosity stratified flows. Physics of Fluids, 17(2), 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1834931

The non-normality of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation leads to the possibility of disturbance growth even though all eigenvalues are stable. In single-fluid flow the disturbance growth converges to a limit once the number of modes exceeds a minimum number...

Towards an understanding of nursing as a response to human vulnerability. (2005)
Journal Article
Sellman, D. (2005). Towards an understanding of nursing as a response to human vulnerability. Nursing Philosophy, 6(1), 2-10. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-769X.2004.00202.x

It is not unusual for the adjective 'vulnerable' to be applied to those in receipt of nursing practice without making clear what it is that persons thus described are actually vulnerable to. In this paper I argue that the way nursing has adopted the... Read More about Towards an understanding of nursing as a response to human vulnerability..

Thoughtful leadership. Lessons from Bion (2005)
Journal Article
Simpson, P., & French, R. (2005). Thoughtful leadership. Lessons from Bion. Organisational and Social Dynamics, 5(2), 280-297

In the competing discourses within organisations, primacy tends to be given to decisive, action oriented, knowing leadership in contrast to more reflective, patient, thoughtful leadership. This paper argues that there is an important place for ‘thoug... Read More about Thoughtful leadership. Lessons from Bion.

Analysis of day-to-day variability in an individual's action space: Exploration of 6-week mobidrive travel diary data (2005)
Journal Article
Susilo, Y. O., & Kitamura, R. (2005). Analysis of day-to-day variability in an individual's action space: Exploration of 6-week mobidrive travel diary data. Transportation Research Record, 1902(1902), 124-133. https://doi.org/10.3141/1902-15

Using 6-week travel diary data from Karlsruhe and Halle, Germany, this study examines the characteristics of individuals' action space. The extension of action space is represented by the second moment of the activity locations that it contains. Day-...

Is travel demand insatiable? A study of changes in structural relationships underlying travel (2005)
Journal Article
Susilo, Y. O., & Kitamura, R. (2005). Is travel demand insatiable? A study of changes in structural relationships underlying travel. Transportmetrica, 1(1), 23-45. https://doi.org/10.1080/18128600508685640

Stability in travel over time is examined in this study, and the source of observed instability is decomposed into: change in socio-demographic and other contributing factors, and change in structural relationships underlying travel. As a tool for th... Read More about Is travel demand insatiable? A study of changes in structural relationships underlying travel.

The economic benefits, organisational structure and governance of the motability scheme: A consumption opportunity set model (2005)
Journal Article
Taylor, P. (2005). The economic benefits, organisational structure and governance of the motability scheme: A consumption opportunity set model. International Journal of Public Policy, 1(1/2), 78-90. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJPP.2005.007794

This paper examines the Motability scheme which enables disabled people to obtain cars on a leasing basis in the UK. The scheme is centred around Motability, a charity, which has an arms-length relationship with a government department, and a close r...
