Visualisation and categorisation of respiratory mechanism using self organising maps (2000)
Journal Article
Black, A. M., Caleb, P., Steuer, M., Caleb-Solly, P., Drummond, G. B., & Black, A. M. S. (2000). Visualisation and categorisation of respiratory mechanism using self organising maps. IEE Proceedings Science Measurement and Technology, 147(6), 339-344. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-smt%3A20000856

In post-operative patients it is sometimes necessary to push morphine-like analgesics to their limits for pain relief. Unfortunately, this can sometimes bring a significant risk of disrupting the control of breathing, and of precipitating life-threat...

Quality in project environments: A nonconventional agenda (2000)
Journal Article
Cicmil, S. (2000). Quality in project environments: A nonconventional agenda. International Journal of Quality and Reliability Management, 17(4), 554-570. https://doi.org/10.1108/02656710010298599

A growing body of evidence indicates the emerging applications of projects and their role in modern businesses. The agreement over project success criteria and delivery of a quality product still remains a key managerial concern. Underlying theoretic...

© 2000 Maney Publishing. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a popular modality for the management of pain, despite a lack of consensus regarding the optimal analgesic stimulation parameters. As a result, throughout the last four de... Read More about A Review of the Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation upon the RIII Nociceptive Reflex.

Development of a sensor system for the early detection of soft rot in stored potato tubers (2000)
Journal Article
Spencer-Phillips, P. T., Ratcliffe, N. M., Gunson, H. E., Ewen, R. J., De Lacy Costello, B. P., de Lacy Costello, B., …Spencer-Phillips, P. T. (2000).

A number of sensor types were fabricated and tested for their electrical resistance changes to compounds known to be evolved by potato tubers with soft rot caused by the bacterium Erwinia carotovora. On the basis of these tests, three sensors were se... Read More about Development of a sensor system for the early detection of soft rot in stored potato tubers.

Dynamic job-shop scheduling using reinforcement learning agents (2000)
Journal Article

Marxism and Realism: A Materialistic Application of Realism in the Social Sciences (2000)
Book
Creaven, S. (2000). Marxism and Realism: A Materialistic Application of Realism in the Social Sciences. Routledge

This book rethinks Marx's sociology as a form of realist social theory, extending Roy Bhaskar's philosophical realism into the social sciences. By constructing historical materialism as realist social theory, it becomes possible to resolve many long...
