Why does nursing need theory? (1991)
Journal Article
Ingram, R. (1991). Why does nursing need theory?. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 16(3), 350-353. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2648.1991.tb01659.x

The last 25 years have witnessed a growing support for and recognition of the importance of nursing theory, both in education and practice This paper seeks to explore this movement and also the issues in theory development, study and application Defi...

Some visual, optometric and perceptual effects of coloured glasses (1991)
Journal Article
Wilkins, A., & Neary, C. (1991). Some visual, optometric and perceptual effects of coloured glasses. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 11(2), 163-171. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-1313.1991.tb00216.x

We examined 20 individuals who had worn coloured glasses (Irlen filters) for a period of at least 3 months and who claimed to find them beneficial. Sixteen had a history of reading difficulties. The performance of a variety of visual tasks was compar... Read More about Some visual, optometric and perceptual effects of coloured glasses.

Effect of a topical beta‐adrenergic receptor antagonist on the dynamics of steady‐state accommodation (1991)
Journal Article
Wrnn, B., Owens, H., Winn, B., Gilmartin, B., & Pugh, J. R. (1991). Effect of a topical beta‐adrenergic receptor antagonist on the dynamics of steady‐state accommodation. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 11(2), 99-104. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-1313.1991.tb00206.x

The ocular accommodation response to a stationary near target exhibits microfluctuations which arc characterized by two dominant components of activity: a low‐frequency component (LFC: < 0.5 Hz) and a high‐frequency component (HFC: 1.0–2.2 Hz). We ha... Read More about Effect of a topical beta‐adrenergic receptor antagonist on the dynamics of steady‐state accommodation.

A characterization of domination perfect graphs (1991)
Journal Article
Zverovich, V. E., Zverovich, I. E., Zverovich, I., & Zverovich, V. (1991). A characterization of domination perfect graphs. Journal of Graph Theory, 15(2), 109-114. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgt.3190150202

Let γ(G) and i(G) be the domination number and independent domination number of a graph G, respectively. Sumner and Moore [8] define a graph G to be domination perfect if γ(H) = i(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. In this article, we give a fini...

Alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use amongst nurses: A Scottish study (1991)
Journal Article
Plant, M. A., Plant, M. L., Plant, M., Plant, M., & Foster, J. (1991). Alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use amongst nurses: A Scottish study. Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 28(2), 195-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/0376-8716%2891%2990076-B

This paper examines patterns of self-reported alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use amongst a representative sample of 600 qualified nurses in the Lothian Region of Scotland. General levels of alcohol use were not exceptional. Even so, levels of toba... Read More about Alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use amongst nurses: A Scottish study.
