A change management toolkit for construction projects (2006)
Journal Article
Yeoh, M. L., Sun, M., Fleming, A., Motawa, I., & Senaratne, S. (2006). A change management toolkit for construction projects. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 2(4), 261-271. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2006.9684621

Changes in construction projects often cause cost and time overruns. Because of the nature of design and construction of buildings, construction professionals often have to make decisions based on assumptions and previous experience. Changes at a lat...

Fatigue in gynaecological cancer patients: A pilot study (2006)
Journal Article
Prue, G., Rankin, J., Cramp, F. (., Allen, J., & Gracey, J. (2006). Fatigue in gynaecological cancer patients: A pilot study. Supportive Care in Cancer, 14(1), 78-83. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-005-0830-7

Rationale: Fatigue is a frequent complaint of women with cancer. However, the incidence of fatigue has not been well studied, in particular gynaecological cancer, which despite its prevalence has received minimal investigation. Goals of work: The stu...

Towards governance of human tissue engineered technologies in Europe: Framing the case for a new regulatory regime (2006)
Journal Article
Kent, J., Faulkner, A., Geesink, I., & Fitzpatrick, D. (2006). Towards governance of human tissue engineered technologies in Europe: Framing the case for a new regulatory regime. Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 73(1), 41-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2005.06.006

The development of human tissue engineered technologies, located in the context of wider debates around the governance of biotechnology, raises important issues. This paper explores these issues by examining theoretical approaches to the regulation o...

E-shopping in the Netherlands: Does geography matter? (2006)
Journal Article
Farag, S., Weltevreden, J., van Rietbergen, T., Dijst, M., & van Oort, F. (2006). E-shopping in the Netherlands: Does geography matter?. Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 33(1), 59-74. https://doi.org/10.1068/b31083

Why consumers shop via the Internet, is a frequently asked question. As yet, the impact of spatial variables on e-shopping has received little attention. In this paper we report our investigation of the spatial distribution of Internet users and onli... Read More about E-shopping in the Netherlands: Does geography matter?.

E-shopping and its relationship with in-store shopping: Empirical evidence from the Netherlands and the USA (2006)
Journal Article
Krizek, K. J., Farag, S., & Dijst, M. (2006). E-shopping and its relationship with in-store shopping: Empirical evidence from the Netherlands and the USA. Transport Reviews, 26(1), 43-61. https://doi.org/10.1080/01441640500158496

Despite considerable examination of the impact of telecommunications on travel, little empirical evidence sheds light on the impact of e-shopping on travel - a recent and increasingly popular form of telecommunications. This paper analyses determinan... Read More about E-shopping and its relationship with in-store shopping: Empirical evidence from the Netherlands and the USA.

The everyday classificatory practices of selective schooling: A fifty-year retrospective (2006)
Journal Article
Brine, J. (2006). The everyday classificatory practices of selective schooling: A fifty-year retrospective. International Studies in Sociology of Education, 16(1), 37-55. https://doi.org/10.1080/19620210600804269

The fifty-year retrospective has led to recent media interest in the comprehensive school. Bristol, located in the south-west of England, is frequently portrayed as an early provider. This article draws on documentary evidence and life-history interv... Read More about The everyday classificatory practices of selective schooling: A fifty-year retrospective.

ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis (2006)
Journal Article
Bright, J., Desikan, R., Hancock, J. T., Weir, I. S., & Neill, S. (2006). ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis. Plant Journal, 45(1), 113-122. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2005.02615.x

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are key signalling molecules produced in response to various stimuli and involved in a diverse range of plant signal transduction processes. Nitric oxide and H 2O2 have been identified as essential compo... Read More about ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis.

The effect of reference point on stochastic network equilibrium (2006)
Journal Article
Avineri, E. (2006). The effect of reference point on stochastic network equilibrium. Transportation Science, 40(4), 409-420. https://doi.org/10.1287/trsc.1060.0158

Following studies of human decision making under risk and uncertainty, an extensive evidence of loss aversion and asymmetric risk-taking behavior around a reference point was found. Prospect theory proposes an alternative framework to the traditional... Read More about The effect of reference point on stochastic network equilibrium.
