Robust and efficient automated detection of tooling defects in polished stone (2005)
Journal Article

The automated detection of process-induced defects such as tooling marks is a common and important problem in machine vision. Such defects are often distinguishable from natural flaws and other features by their geometric form, for example their circ...

Models of military expenditure and growth: A critical review (2005)
Journal Article

This paper reviews some of the theoretical and econometric issues involved in estimating growth models that include military spending. While the mainstream growth literature has not found military expenditure to be a significant determinant of growth... Read More about Models of military expenditure and growth: A critical review.

Amperometric, screen-printed, glucose biosensor for analysis of human plasma samples using a biocomposite water-based carbon ink incorporating glucose oxidase (2005)
Journal Article

This paper describes the optimisation of a screen-printing water-based carbon ink containing cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) and glucose oxidase (GOD) for the fabrication of a glucose biosensor. To optimise the performance of the biosensor, the loadings...

Over recent years, whilst there has been increasing acceptance of the existence and role of marketing in the political arena, there has also been much discussion as to the applicability of its concepts and models. This paper focuses upon issues surro... Read More about Square peg, round hole can marketing-based concepts such as the product and the marketing mix have a useful role in the political arena.

A novel, disposable, screen-printed amperometric biosensor for glucose in serum fabricated using a water-based carbon ink (2005)
Journal Article

Screen-printed amperometric glucose biosensors have been fabricated using a water-based carbon ink. The enzyme glucose oxidase (GOD) and the electrocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine were mixed with the carbon ink prior to the screen-printing process; th...

Processes of disengagement and engagement in assertive outreach patients: Qualitative study (2005)
Journal Article

Background: Assertive outreach has been established to care for 'difficult to engage' patients, yet little is known about how patients experience their disengagement with mainstream services and later engagement with outreach teams. Aims: To explore... Read More about Processes of disengagement and engagement in assertive outreach patients: Qualitative study.

Effects of repeated doses of caffeine on mood and performance of alert and fatigued volunteers (2005)
Journal Article

Evidence for behavioural effects of caffeine is well documented in the literature. It is associated with increased subjective alertness, improved reaction time and enhanced encoding of new information. These effects are most prominent in low arousal...
