Objective: To study the successful implementation of paramedic administered prehospital thrombolysis in Sweden, and to consider the implications of this for the UK. Methods: A series of research visits were undertaken, including visits to Uppsala Hos... Read More about Prehospital thrombolysis: Lessons from Sweden and their application to the United Kingdom.

Judicial Deference under the Human Rights Act (2002)
Journal Article

Judicial deference to the other branches of government has become a common judicial technique in cases arising under the Human Rights Act. The author outlines the current approach of British courts in deciding when to defer, arguing that it is flawed... Read More about Judicial Deference under the Human Rights Act.

The case for urban prehospital thrombolysis (2002)
Journal Article

This is the first part in a debate on the benefits and disadvantages of urban prehospital thrombolysis. I put the case for prehospital thrombolysis in the urban environment and argue that it is a rational development that will save lives and reduce l...

Setting up a nursing research unit (2002)
Journal Article

Primary care is central to the NHS, and it is where 85 per cent of all health care problems are managed. However, much primary care clinical activity is unsupported by any substantial body of evidence. The launch of the NHS research and development s...

Development of a one point quadrature shell element for nonlinear applications with contact and anisotropy (2002)
Journal Article

A general purpose shell element for nonlinear applications including sheet metal forming simulation is developed based on reduced integration with one point quadrature. The developed shell element has five degrees of freedom and four nodes. It covers...

A fast convergent extended Kalman observer for nonlinear discrete-time systems (2002)
Journal Article

A new extended Kalman observer for nonlinear discrete-time systems is derived. As always, stability and convergence rate depend directly on the matrices Qk and Rk and the initial state estimation error, the new observer has made improvement on these...

Experimental logical gates in a reaction-diffusion medium: The XOR gate and beyond (2002)
Journal Article

We exploit the particulars of diffusive wave front interactions in certain types of two-reactant reaction-diffusion medium to construct a laboratory prototype of an XOR gate. In the design, the values of the logic variables are represented by the pre... Read More about Experimental logical gates in a reaction-diffusion medium: The XOR gate and beyond.

Visual search in Alzheimer's disease: A deficiency in processing conjunctions of features (2002)
Journal Article

Human vision often needs to encode multiple characteristics of many elements of the visual field, for example their lightness and orientation. The paradigm of visual search allows a quantitative assessment of the function of the underlying mechanisms...

Prediction of lobe growth and decay in centreless grinding based on geometric considerations (2002)
Journal Article

The growth and decay of lobes during centreless grinding have been studied by previous researchers using physical tests, time-domain simulation and identification of the roots of the Laplace transform of the characteristic equation. In this paper, th... Read More about Prediction of lobe growth and decay in centreless grinding based on geometric considerations.

No end to the racial wage hierarchy in South Africa? (2002)
Journal Article

The South African apartheid system formally ended with the election of the African National Congress at the first all-race elections held in 1994. As a result, racist policies such as color barring, that particularly hindered the advancement of black... Read More about No end to the racial wage hierarchy in South Africa?.

Crystal structures of human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase reaction intermediates: Ketimine and pyridoxamine phosphate forms (2002)
Journal Article

The three-dimensional structures of the isoleucine ketimine and the pyridoxamine phosphate forms of human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase (hBCATm) have been determined crystallographically at 1.9 Å resolution. The hBCATm-catalyzed trans... Read More about Crystal structures of human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase reaction intermediates: Ketimine and pyridoxamine phosphate forms.
