Smokers' and non-smokers' estimates of their personal risk of cancer and of the incremental risk attributable to cigarette smoking (1995)
Journal Article

Estimates were obtained from 420 members of the public, 117 of whom were smokers, of the risk of an hypothetical target person, described as a 35-year-old man with no previous illness, contracting cancer as a consequence of exposure to combinations o...

Application of an alternative contractor selection model: This paper reports on initial results from the application to real-life of a selection of exercises of an alternative selection model designed to rationalize and simultaneously broaden the scope of this often onerous task (1995)
Journal Article

The results described confirm the thorough assessment implemented by the model and an output mechanism able to highlight key contractor characteristics. The exercise also supports the contention, that examination of contractors should aim to establis...

Polyheterocycles containing alkene spacer linkages Part II. Synthesis and polymerization of (E)-2-styrylthiophenes and (E)-2-styrylpyrrole (1995)
Journal Article

A number of (E)-2-styrylthiophenes, exhibiting a range of electronic effects, and (E)-2-styrylpyrrole were synthesized and their electrochemical behaviour investigated. The films, produced by anodic electropolymerization, were redox inactive and exhi... Read More about Polyheterocycles containing alkene spacer linkages Part II.

Optimising individual control rules and multiple communicating rule-based control systems with parallel distributed genetic algorithms (1995)
Journal Article

Genetic algorithms can be used to optimise either individual process-control rules or complete rule-based controllers. The paper describes the optimisation of individual rules to control combustion in multiple burner installations. To solve more comp...
