Can the S-S problem-solving method help to win the World Cup? (1996)
Journal Article
ho, S. K., & Cicmil, S. (1996). Can the S-S problem-solving method help to win the World Cup?. Management Decision, 34(2), 53-58. https://doi.org/10.1108/00251749610110337

Although in practice it is commonly found that there are several antecedents relevant to a particular problem, only one specific event represents its real cause. Analysis of the potential causes and the identification of the single cause that ultimat... Read More about Can the S-S problem-solving method help to win the World Cup?.

An evaluation of the keratoconic cornea using computerised corneal mapping and ultrasonic measurements of corneal thickness (1996)
Journal Article
Owens, H., & Watters, G. (1996). An evaluation of the keratoconic cornea using computerised corneal mapping and ultrasonic measurements of corneal thickness. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 16(2), 115-123. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1475-1313.1996.95000178.x

Reports indicate the presence of up to three independent cone shapes in keratoconus (round/oval/global) but the preponderance of one cone over another is unclear. This work evaluates keratoconic corneal topography and corneal thickness using videoker...

Journal Article
Frankel, S., Inglis, A., Coast, J., Sabey, A., & Frankel, S. J. (1996). Alternatives to hospital care: What are they and who should decide?. BMJ, 312(7024), 162-166. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.312.7024.162

Objective: To examine potential for alternatives to care in hospitals for acute admissions, and to compare the decisions about these alternatives made by clinicians with different backgrounds. Design: Standardised tool was used to identify patients w... Read More about Alternatives to hospital care: What are they and who should decide?.

The sensitivity of bricklayers' output to changes in skill (1996)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Olomolaiye, P., Harris, F. C., & Price, A. F. (1996). The sensitivity of bricklayers' output to changes in skill. Computers and Structures, 58(2), 419-428. https://doi.org/10.1016/0045-7949%2895%2900136-5

This paper examines the influence of skill on bricklayers' ouput. Time utilization in 25 working day activities by 157 bricklayers on 11 sites in the U.K. were surveyed using a computerized activity sampling package. Using Stepwise regression techniq...

Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours (1996)
Journal Article
Honeybourne, C. L., Ewen, R. J., De Lacy Costello, B. P., de Lacy Costello, B., Evans, P., Ewen, R., …Ratcliffe, N. M. (1996). Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 6(3), 289-294. https://doi.org/10.1039/JM9960600289

Composites of tin dioxide (an n-type semiconductor) and derivatives of the conducting polymer polypyrrole (a p-type semiconductor) gave reversible changes in electrical resistance at room temperature when exposed to a range of organic vapours. The op... Read More about Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours.

Reconciling scientific and religious discourse about madness during the age of reason: Lessons for today? (1996)
Journal Article
Weeks, N. P., & Weeks, N. (1996). Reconciling scientific and religious discourse about madness during the age of reason: Lessons for today?. Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 3(2), 95-101. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2850.1996.tb00069.x

This paper argues that the secularization of madness, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, occurred as a consequence of cultural change that accompanied the social upheavals of the age. In examining the reconciliation of competing explana... Read More about Reconciling scientific and religious discourse about madness during the age of reason: Lessons for today?.
