Generalising roads on large-scale maps : a comparison of two algorithms (1994)
Preprint / Working Paper
Visvalingam, M., & Williamson, P. J. Generalising roads on large-scale maps : a comparison of two algorithms

This paper reports the results of an in-depth study which investigated two algorithms for line simplification and caricatural generalisation, namely those developed by Douglas and Peucker, and Visvalingam respectively. The use of large-scale data for... Read More about Generalising roads on large-scale maps : a comparison of two algorithms.

Who is in control? An investigation of nurse and patient beliefs relating to control of their health care (1994)
Journal Article
Smith, R., & Draper, P. (1994). Who is in control? An investigation of nurse and patient beliefs relating to control of their health care. Journal of advanced nursing, 19(5), 884-892. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2648.1994.tb01165.x

This study compares nurse and patient beliefs regarding control of health and perceptions of the amount of patient control. Data were collected from 21 nurses and 32 patients on a mixed surgical ward, using a series of self‐report questionnaires. No... Read More about Who is in control?

An investigation into the effect of process parameters on carbon film physical properties produced by different deposition techniques (1994)
Thesis
Dehbi-Alaoui, A. (1994). An investigation into the effect of process parameters on carbon film physical properties produced by different deposition techniques. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215388

This thesis reports research to investigate the effect of process parameters on the physical properties of carbon films produced using different deposition techniques. The deposition techniques utilised are a FAB source, an r.f./d.c. EBPVD system and...

Application of artificial intelligence techniques to probeless fault diagnosis of printed circuit boards (1994)
Thesis
Arslan, T. S. (1994). Application of artificial intelligence techniques to probeless fault diagnosis of printed circuit boards. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223811

This thesis describes investigations which led to the development of a failure diagnosis expert system for printed circuit boards which exploits functional test data. The boards considered are highly complex mixed signal (analogue and digital) system...

Micro-macro accounting integration : NASCO, an Egyptian case study (1994)
Thesis
Zafer, S. E.-D. M. (1994). Micro-macro accounting integration : NASCO, an Egyptian case study. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4210400

Increased government involvement in the control of the Egyptian economy has resulted in greater need for accounting information, mainly for planning and control purposes. Egyptian public enterprises are subject to control by a number of ministerial a... Read More about Micro-macro accounting integration : NASCO, an Egyptian case study.

Road extraction and topographic data validation using area topology (1994)
Journal Article
Varley, D. A., & Visvalingam, M. (1994). Road extraction and topographic data validation using area topology. Computer Journal, 37(1), 3-15. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/37.1.3

A simpler novel process for extracting roads is outlined in this paper. The procedures which were adopted for checking the consistency of semantic labelling is described. And it discusses the extent to which findings should influence the database mod... Read More about Road extraction and topographic data validation using area topology.
