Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance (2001)
Journal Article
Wallace, E. J., Buzza, D. M., & Read, D. J. (2001). Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance. Macromolecules, 34(20), 7140-7146. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0104130

A lattice Monte Carlo scheme for simulating dendrimers that is widely referenced in the literature is that of Mansfield and Klushin (Macromolecules 1993, 26, 4262). However, we show that this scheme does not obey a detailed balance and propose a modi... Read More about Monte Carlo simulation scheme for dendrimers satisfying detailed balance.

The Pulsair 3000 tonometer - How many readings need to be taken to ensure accuracy of the average? (2001)
Journal Article
McCaghrey, G. E., & Matthews, F. E. (2001). The Pulsair 3000 tonometer - How many readings need to be taken to ensure accuracy of the average?. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 21(4), 334-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0275-5408%2800%2900040-5

Manufacturers of non-contact tonometers recommend that a number of readings are taken on each eye, and an average obtained. With the Keeler Pulsair 3000 it is advised to take four readings, and average these. This report analyses readings in 100 subj...

Welfare Gains to UK from a Global Free Trade (2001)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K. (2001). Welfare Gains to UK from a Global Free Trade. European Research Studies Journal, 4(3-4), 55-72. https://doi.org/10.35808/ersj/65

This paper reports on a 11 region 15 sector global trade model which includes the UK as one of the regions. Model results show that a global elimination of tariffs, export taxes and subsidies raises the volume of global trade. Gains from the global f...

‘Learning from the past: Collingwood and the idea of organisational history' (2001)
Journal Article

Through a consideration of the views of R.G. Collingwood on historical knowledge and conceptual change, this paper addresses organisational issues such as history, culture and memory. It then subjects the idea of ‘learning histories’ to critical scru... Read More about ‘Learning from the past: Collingwood and the idea of organisational history'.
