Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach (2002)
Journal Article
Amaratunga, D., Sarshar, M., & Baldry, D. (2002). Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach. Business Process Management Journal, 8(4), 318-337. https://doi.org/10.1108/14637150210434982

Considers the application of structured process improvement for construction environments (SPICE) as a process improvement technique and its extension into the context of facilities management (FM). SPICE is a research project that developed a step-w... Read More about Process improvement in facilities management: The SPICE approach.

The factors influencing bid mark-up decisions of large- and medium-size contractors in Singapore (2002)
Journal Article
Shan, H. G., Dulaimi, M., & Hong, G. (2002). The factors influencing bid mark-up decisions of large- and medium-size contractors in Singapore. Construction Management and Economics, 20(7), 601-610. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446190210159890

The construction industry in Singapore is dominated by a competitive business environment that is being driven by a lowest cost mentality. The pressure on contractors' profit margins has further increased after a prolonged recession in this sector, w...

Evolution of management theory: the case of production management in construction (2002)
Journal Article
Santos, A. D., Powell, J. A., & Sarshar, M. (2002). Evolution of management theory: the case of production management in construction. Management Decision, 40(8), 788-796. https://doi.org/10.1108/00251740210437743

In the past 100 years production management has evolved from a set of heuristic ideas to a portfolio of somewhat developed concepts and principles. “Justintime” and “total quality management” integrate most of the modern concepts and principles in...

Overloading study of bases using polymeric RP-HPLC columns as an aid to rationalization of overloading on silica-ODS phases (2002)
Journal Article
Buckenmaier, S. M., McCalley, D. V., & Euerby, M. R. (2002). Overloading study of bases using polymeric RP-HPLC columns as an aid to rationalization of overloading on silica-ODS phases. Analytical Chemistry, 74(18), 4672-4681. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac0202381

The separation of ionized bases by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with alkyl silica columns often leads to severely tailed bands that are highly detrimental. Band shape and its dependence on sample mass are notably different when mobile-phase p...

A pole placement controller for nonlinear dynamic plants (2002)
Journal Article
Zhu, Q., & Guo, L. Z. (2002). A pole placement controller for nonlinear dynamic plants. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 216(6), 467-476. https://doi.org/10.1177/095965180221600603

In this study a control-oriented model is proposed to represent a wide range of non-linear discrete-time dynamic plants. As a testimony to the efficiency of the model structure for control system design, a pole placement controller is designed for no...

The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 places a duty on highways and national park authorities to establish local access forums (LAFs), to advise on the improvement of public access to land for the purposes of open air recreation and enjoyment. T... Read More about Outdoor recreation and participative democracy in England and Wales.

Concentrations of cadmium, zinc and copper in sediments and brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) from the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, UK (2002)
Journal Article
Culshaw, C., Newton, L. C., Weir, I., & Bird, D. J. (2002). Concentrations of cadmium, zinc and copper in sediments and brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) from the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, UK. Marine Environmental Research, 54(3-5), 331-334. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0141-1136%2802%2900163-0

Cd, Zn and Cu levels were determined in sediments and Crangon crangon from 9 sites in the Severn Estuary/Bristol Channel during winter 1999. Metal levels in both shrimp and sediments varied significantly between sites and were related to proximity of...

Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility (2002)
Journal Article
Kenyon, S., Lyons, G., & Rafferty, J. (2002). Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility. Journal of Transport Geography, 10(3), 207-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-6923%2802%2900012-1

This paper introduces a mobility dimension to social exclusion, suggesting a strong correlation between a lack of access to adequate mobility and lack of access to opportunities, social networks, goods and services. This correlation exists as both a... Read More about Transport and social exclusion: Investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility.
