Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Olomolaiye, P., Holt, G. D., & Harris, F. C. (1994). Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection. Building and Environment, 29(4), 437-448. https://doi.org/10.1016/0360-1323%2894%2990003-5

A quantitative model for selecting construction contractors which utilizes the multi-attribute analysis technique is being developed. Prequalification criteria for inclusion in the model have been identified and weightings to mirror their respective... Read More about Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection.

Channel planform adjustment and stream power variations on the middle River Coe, Western Grampian Highlands, Scotland (1994)
Journal Article
McEwen, L. J. (1994). Channel planform adjustment and stream power variations on the middle River Coe, Western Grampian Highlands, Scotland. CATENA, 21(4), 357-374. https://doi.org/10.1016/0341-8162%2894%2990046-9

This paper assesses the spatial variations in types and rates of channel migration over an historical time-period on the middle River Coe, Western Grampians, Scotland. The study reach represents an exceptional example of an integrated channel system,...

Evaluating performance potential in the selection of construction contractors (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Holt, G. D., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1994). Evaluating performance potential in the selection of construction contractors. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 1(1), 29-50. https://doi.org/10.1108/eb020991

A quantitative contractor selection technique which embraces the prequalification, evaluation and final selection processes is being developed. The emphasis is on evaluating contractors’ performance potential in terms of their ability to achieve time...

The effect of sampling on the species-area curve (1994)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Curran, P., & Foody, G. (1994). The effect of sampling on the species-area curve. Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters, 4, 97-106

The species-area curve has been used to link the biological with the geographical. Larger areas of land would seem to contain more species as a result of both the effect of sampling (i.e. more samples are taken to represent larger areas) and ecologic...

A novel one-pot synthesis of homochiral (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)COCH3 (1994)
Journal Article
Cook, S. J., Costello, J. F., Davies, S. G., & Kruk, H. T. (1994). A novel one-pot synthesis of homochiral (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)COCH3. Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 17(17), 2369-2372. https://doi.org/10.1039/p19940002369

Treatment of the salt [Fe(CO)2(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)]Br with potassium L-mentholate followed by lithium bromide and methyllithium generates, after work-up and crystallisation, homochiral (S)-(+)-[Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)COCH3] in ≥ 30% yield.

The Accounts of Special Education Leavers (1994)
Journal Article
Cheston, R., & Cheston, R. (1994). The Accounts of Special Education Leavers. Disability and Society, 9(1), 59-69. https://doi.org/10.1080/09687599466780051

There has been comparatively little analysis of the ways in which pupils within special education describe themselves. This paper looks at the linguistic repertoires that leavers from special education in Central Scotland drew upon in order to accoun... Read More about The Accounts of Special Education Leavers.

Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor (1994)
Journal Article
Case-Green, S. C., Costello, J. F., Davies, S. G., Heaton, N., Hedgecock, C. J. R., Humphreys, V. M., …Primes, J. C. (1994). Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor. Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 933-941. https://doi.org/10.1039/P19940000933

The chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(L)COCH3] [L = PPh3, P(p-tolyl)3] have been kinetically resolved via aldol reactions involving their derived lithium enolates and camphor in the presence of lithium chloride. With (1R)-(+)-camphor the... Read More about Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor.

An evolution strategy and genetic algorithm hybrid: An initial implementation and first results (1994)
Conference Proceeding
Bull, L., & Fogarty, T. C. (1994). An evolution strategy and genetic algorithm hybrid: An initial implementation and first results. In T. C. Fogarty (Ed.), In AISB EC 1994: Evolutionary Computing. , (95-102). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-58483-8_8

Evolution Strategies (ESs)[15] and Genetic Algorithms (GAs)[13] have both been used to optimise functions, using the natural process of evolution as inspiration for their search mechanisms. The ES uses gene mutation as it’s main search operator whils... Read More about An evolution strategy and genetic algorithm hybrid: An initial implementation and first results.

Several hundred recently‐metamorphosed Petromyzon marinus were caught during heavy freshwater discharge in the River Severn on the night of 30 November/1 December 1988. The total lengths of a subsample of 42 males and 82 females ranged from 155 to 21...
