An observer design for linear time-delay systems (2002)
Journal Article
Hou, M., Zítek, P., & Patton, R. J. (2002). An observer design for linear time-delay systems. IEEE transactions on automatic control, 47(1), 121-125. https://doi.org/10.1109/9.981730

An observer design is proposed for linear systems with time delay. The key of the design is to find a generalized coordinate change such that in the new coordinates all the time-delay terms are injected by the system's output. The existence of such a...

An exploration of the nature and causes of distress in women attending gynecology outpatient clinics (2002)
Journal Article
Glover, L., Novakovic, A., & Hunter, M. S. (2002). An exploration of the nature and causes of distress in women attending gynecology outpatient clinics. Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology, 23(4), 237-248. https://doi.org/10.3109/01674820209074678

This study evaluates the distress experienced by women attending gynecology outpatient clinics (GOCs). We investigate causes of this distress and explore women's own experience of their distress. A questionnaire survey of 197 women attending GOCs was... Read More about An exploration of the nature and causes of distress in women attending gynecology outpatient clinics.

Business and delays in port reform in Brazil (2002)
Journal Article
DOCTOR, M. (2002). Business and delays in port reform in Brazil. Brazilian journal of political economy = Revisita de economia politica, 22(2), 273-296. https://doi.org/10.1590/0101-31572002-1013

The case of port modernization reform in Brazil encapsules the problems Brazilian reformers face. Although reform legislation was passed in 1993 (Law 8.630/93), many obstacles remain for full implementation of its provision. This article focuses on h...

Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy (2001)
Journal Article
Kuhan, G., Gardiner, E. D., Abidia, A. F., Chetter, I. C., Renwick, P. M., Johnson, B. F., Wilkinson, A. R., & McCollum, P. T. (2001). Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy. British journal of surgery, 88(12), 1590-1594. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.0007-1323.2001.01938.x

Background: The aims of this study were to identify factors that influence the risk of stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to develop a model to aid in comparative audit of vascular surgeons and units. Methods: A series of 839... Read More about Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy.

Cannabis use and social identity (2001)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Jenkins, R., & Reid, M. (2001). Cannabis use and social identity. Addiction research & theory, 9(2), 133-150. https://doi.org/10.3109/16066350109141745

Cannabis use has become common, but we still understand little about how and why people use cannabis. This paper theorises the relationship between cannabis use and social identity, suggesting that cannabis use is an important aspect of many people's...

Reverse time modeling of thermal problems using the transmission line matrix approach (2001)
Journal Article
Badger, I., Pulko, S. H., & Wilkinson, A. J. (2001). Reverse time modeling of thermal problems using the transmission line matrix approach. Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B Fundamentals, 40(3), 249-264. https://doi.org/10.1080/104077901752379648

The possibility of using inverse scattering for reverse time modeling of thermal diffusion problems using the transmission line matrix is discussed. Consideration is given to network parameterization via a series of numerical experiments. A three-dim...

General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission (2001)
Journal Article
MacLeod, J. (2001). General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission. War in History, 8(4), 418-441. https://doi.org/10.1177/096834450100800403

This article traces some aspects of the story behind-the-scenes at the Dardanelles commission which account for the bland nature of its reports. It focuses in particular upon the clandestine attempts by General Sir Ian Hamilton to influence the verdi... Read More about General Sir Ian Hamilton and the Dardanelles commission.

Women's reproductive lives as a symbolic resource in Central and Eastern Europe (2001)
Journal Article
Hockey, J., & Alsop, R. (2001). Women's reproductive lives as a symbolic resource in Central and Eastern Europe. European Journal of Women's Studies, 8(4), 454-471. https://doi.org/10.1177/135050680100800404

When Communism collapsed in Central and Eastern Europe women seemed to lose the control they had gained over their reproductive lives. Abortion rights became more limited as did access to childcare and maternity benefits. The authors argue that this...

Control states and complete agent architectures (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2001). Control states and complete agent architectures. Computational Intelligence, 17(4), 621-650. https://doi.org/10.1111/0824-7935.00167

This paper presents a developing concept of mind defined in terms of external and internal niches. This perspective on mind is described primarily in terms of the niche space of control states and the design space of processes that may support such p...
