'Towards a mapping of the student world': The identification of variation in students' conceptions of, and motivations to learn, introductory accounting (2005)
Journal Article

This paper is concerned with a strand of educational research that seeks to support students in developing a better awareness and understanding of themselves as learners. Since it is difficult to 'know' our students individually there is value in kno...

Study of overloading of basic drugs and peptides in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using pH adjustment of weak acid mobile phases suitable for mass spectrometry (2005)
Journal Article

Serious losses in column efficiency for ionised basic drugs and peptides occur due to overloading of C18 phases when weak acid mobile phases of low ionic strength suitable for mass spectrometric detection are used. Measurable changes in retention tim...

Bi(III) halides as efficient catalysts for the O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans: An expeditious entry to tetralins (2005)
Journal Article

The mild (DCM/20°C), quantitative, regioselective, O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans using organic acid halides with catalytic Bi(III) halides is reported. X-ray crystallography is used to rationalise the failure of the reaction in the case of...

Alternative (shorter) food supply chains and specialist livestock products in the Scottish-English borders (2005)
Journal Article

In this paper findings are presented from survey work conducted with producers of specialist livestock products in the Scottish-English borders. Using supply-chain diagrams, the paper highlights how specialist livestock businesses operate individual...

The DAS24: A short form of the Derriford Appearance Scale DAS59 to measure individual responses to living with problems of appearance (2005)
Journal Article

Objectives. To develop a psychometrically robust and widely applicable short form of the Derriford Appearance Scale, (DAS59), which (1) will reliably and validly assess the distress and difficulties experienced in living with problems of appearance,...
