Which SMEs use external business advice? A multivariate subregional study (2007)
Journal Article
The authors examine factors that influence the propensity of a firm to take up external business support across four large English towns, using random effects nominal probit regression analysis to capture sector heterogeneity. The results suggest a s... Read More about Which SMEs use external business advice? A multivariate subregional study.

Fuzzy-XCS: A Michigan genetic fuzzy system (2007)
Journal Article
The issue of finding fuzzy models with an interpretability as good as possible without decreasing the accuracy is one of the main research topics on genetic fuzzy systems. When they are used to perform online reinforcement learning by means of Michig... Read More about Fuzzy-XCS: A Michigan genetic fuzzy system.
'How do i cope with that?' the challenge of 'schooling' cultures in further education for trainee FE lecturers (2007)
Journal Article
The development of professional identity amongst lecturers training to teach in further education (FE) colleges in England involves processes of adaptation. These partly take place during teaching placement in FE, as trainees navigate between their o...

Integrated pollution control in Victorian Britain: Rethinking progress within the history of environmental law (2007)
Journal Article
Three theories of the history of environmental are introduced, applied, and discussed: 'progress'; 'constraint'; and 'cycle' theories. The cycle theory is defended in relation to an extended case study of integrated pollution control legislation, 186...

Fermi acceleration in the randomized driven Lorentz gas and the Fermi-Ulam model (2007)
Journal Article
Fermi acceleration of an ensemble of noninteracting particles evolving in a stochastic two-moving wall variant of the Fermi-Ulam model (FUM) and the phase randomized harmonically driven periodic Lorentz gas is investigated. As shown in, the static wa... Read More about Fermi acceleration in the randomized driven Lorentz gas and the Fermi-Ulam model.

(In)complete acquisition of Turkish among Turkish-German bilinguals in Germany and Turkey: An analysis of complex embeddings in narratives (2007)
Journal Article
Although most researchers recognise that the language repertoire of bilinguals can vary, few studies have tried to address variation in bilingual competence in any detail. This study aims to take a first step towards further understanding the way in...

Paramagnetic particle detection for use with an immunoassay based biosensor (2007)
Journal Article
A biosensor and detection system that can provide measurement of analyte concentration within a test sample in four minutes is presented. The biosensor uses an immunoassay with micrometre-sized paramagnetic particle (PMP) labels for quantification. A...

Assessment of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ by measuring structural changes of supercoiled DNA (2007)
Journal Article
A method for the measurement of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ in aquatic environments is proposed. It is based on the quantitative measurement on the shape change of the supercoiled DNA after it is contacted with different levels of Cu2+ for various...

Holocene sea-level change in the Severn Estuary, southwest England: A diatom-based sea-level transfer function for macrotidal settings (2007)
Journal Article
The recent growth in the use of microfossil-based transfer functions in late-Quaternary sea-level reconstructions reflects their potential to accurately quantify palaeo sea-level changes. This study details the development of a diatom-based sea-level...
