Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach (2002)
Journal Article
Amaratunga, D., Sarshar, M., & Baldry, D. (2002). Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach. Business Process Management Journal, 8(4), 318-337. https://doi.org/10.1108/14637150210434982

Considers the application of structured process improvement for construction environments (SPICE) as a process improvement technique and its extension into the context of facilities management (FM). SPICE is a research project that developed a step-w... Read More about Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach.

Tourism attraction systems: Exploring cultural behavior (2002)
Journal Article
Richards, G. (2002). Tourism attraction systems: Exploring cultural behavior. Annals of Tourism Research, 29(4), 1048-1064. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0160-7383%2802%2900026-9

Attractions are vital sub-elements in all whole tourism systems, and yet their study suffers from lack of theoretical depth and empirical foundation. This paper presents an empirical exploration of the attraction system model, based on a survey of ov... Read More about Tourism attraction systems: Exploring cultural behavior.

Internet: Investigating new technology's evolving role, nature and effects on transport (2002)
Journal Article
Lyons, G. (2002). Internet: Investigating new technology's evolving role, nature and effects on transport. Transport Policy, 9(4), 335-346. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-070X%2802%2900023-9

In the space of only a few years the Internet has emerged as a mainstream communications medium providing a growing proportion of the population with virtual access to goods, people, opportunities and services. Against a backdrop of highlighting how... Read More about Internet: Investigating new technology's evolving role, nature and effects on transport.

Collision-free path planning in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium assisted by a cellular automaton (2002)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., & de Lacy Costello, B. (2002). Collision-free path planning in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium assisted by a cellular automaton. Naturwissenschaften, 89(10), 474-478. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00114-002-0363-6

We offer a new approach to computing a shortest collision-free path in a space containing obstacles, using an experimental chemical processor, based on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The chemical processor was then coupled via optical links... Read More about Collision-free path planning in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium assisted by a cellular automaton.

Overloading study of bases using polymeric RP-HPLC columns as an aid to rationalization of overloading on silica-ODS phases (2002)
Journal Article
Buckenmaier, S. M., McCalley, D. V., & Euerby, M. R. (2002). Overloading study of bases using polymeric RP-HPLC columns as an aid to rationalization of overloading on silica-ODS phases. Analytical Chemistry, 74(18), 4672-4681. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac0202381

The separation of ionized bases by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with alkyl silica columns often leads to severely tailed bands that are highly detrimental. Band shape and its dependence on sample mass are notably different when mobile-phase p...

Outdoor recreation and participative democracy in England and Wales (2002)
Journal Article
Ravenscroft, N., Curry, N., & Markwell, S. (2002). Outdoor recreation and participative democracy in England and Wales. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 45(5), 715-734. https://doi.org/10.1080/0964056022000013084

The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 places a duty on highways and national park authorities to establish local access forums (LAFs), to advise on the improvement of public access to land for the purposes of open air recreation and enjoyment. T... Read More about Outdoor recreation and participative democracy in England and Wales.

Concentrations of cadmium, zinc and copper in sediments and brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) from the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, UK (2002)
Journal Article
Culshaw, C., Newton, L. C., Weir, I., & Bird, D. J. (2002). Concentrations of cadmium, zinc and copper in sediments and brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) from the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, UK. Marine Environmental Research, 54(3-5), 331-334. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0141-1136%2802%2900163-0

Cd, Zn and Cu levels were determined in sediments and Crangon crangon from 9 sites in the Severn Estuary/Bristol Channel during winter 1999. Metal levels in both shrimp and sediments varied significantly between sites and were related to proximity of...

A pole placement controller for nonlinear dynamic plants (2002)
Journal Article
Zhu, Q., & Guo, L. Z. (2002). A pole placement controller for nonlinear dynamic plants. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 216(6), 467-476. https://doi.org/10.1177/095965180221600603

In this study a control-oriented model is proposed to represent a wide range of non-linear discrete-time dynamic plants. As a testimony to the efficiency of the model structure for control system design, a pole placement controller is designed for no...

Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility (2002)
Journal Article
Kenyon, S., Lyons, G., & Rafferty, J. (2002). Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility. Journal of Transport Geography, 10(3), 207-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-6923%2802%2900012-1

This paper introduces a mobility dimension to social exclusion, suggesting a strong correlation between a lack of access to adequate mobility and lack of access to opportunities, social networks, goods and services. This correlation exists as both a... Read More about Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility.
