What's the beach like? Context effects in judgements of environmental quality (1993)
Journal Article
Eiser, R. J., Reicher, S. D., & Podpadec, T. (1993). What's the beach like? Context effects in judgements of environmental quality. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 13(4), 343-352. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0272-4944%2805%2980256-7

Two questionnaire studies are described in which visitors to beaches were asked to evaluate the beach where they were, and judge the extent to which it was affected by each of a number of specific pollutants. In both studies, instructions were varied... Read More about What's the beach like? Context effects in judgements of environmental quality.

Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl [Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)COMe] (1993)
Journal Article

Helmet slippage during visual tracking: The effect of voluntary head movements (1993)
Journal Article
Neary, C., Bate, I. J., Heller, L. F., & Williams, M. (1993). Helmet slippage during visual tracking: The effect of voluntary head movements. Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 64(7), 623-30

The influence of visual tracking on head movement and on the head/helmet system was investigated for two different helmets (a motorcycle helmet and a flying helmet) under static laboratory conditions. Subjects visually refixated between pairs of illu... Read More about Helmet slippage during visual tracking: The effect of voluntary head movements.

A theoretical model for determining equipment service life: Quantitative method of determining the likely incidence of breakdowns over a period of usage of a piece of equipment while on the construction site as an AID to estimators, planners and site managers (1993)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Harris, F. C., & Olomolaiye, P. (1993). A theoretical model for determining equipment service life: Quantitative method of determining the likely incidence of breakdowns over a period of usage of a piece of equipment while on the construction site as an AID to estimators, planners and site managers. Building Research and Information, 21(4), 243-245. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219308727305

The early results indicate that the exponential decay function when operated graphically serves as a straightforward and relatively simple means of predicting likely equipment breakdown, i.e. downtime. More research, however, needs to be done to demo...

A conceptual alternative to current tendering practice: Majority of UK construction projects assigned by way of selective competition, an alternative quantitative selection technique has been developed by the authors which could equally apply elsewhere (1993)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Holt, G. D., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1993). A conceptual alternative to current tendering practice: Majority of UK construction projects assigned by way of selective competition, an alternative quantitative selection technique has been developed by the authors which could equally apply elsewhere. Building Research and Information, 21(3), 167-172. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219308727284

The research to date has borne a fundamental decision aid model to assist the construction owner in choosing a contractor. The model is currently being stabilized and validated. A comprehensive survey has been carried out to verify the variables and...

The magnitude and frequency of extreme rainfall within north-east Scotland over an historical timespan (1993)
Journal Article

This paper evaluates the magnitude, frequency, duration and seasonality of extreme rainfall over an historical timespan in the Findhorn and Spey river basins, in north-east Scotland. Patterns are compared with published results from other rainfall ga... Read More about The magnitude and frequency of extreme rainfall within north-east Scotland over an historical timespan.

Is more better?. Mark II - With reference to women town planners in Britain (1993)
Journal Article

This article discusses whether more women entering the town planning profession necessarily means improvement and forms a sequel to an earlier paper on women surveyors (WSIF 11(3) pp. 187-197). It is based on research currently being undertaken on th... Read More about Is more better?. Mark II - With reference to women town planners in Britain.

The search for meanings in nursing: could Facet Theory be a way forward? (1993)
Journal Article

This paper examines some of the underlying tenets of Benner & Wrubel's Primacy of Caring, and suggests the use of Facet Theory as a possible route to overcome criticisms of the lack of systematic data collection and analysis in this approach to nursi...
