The effects of high and low rates of food reinforcement on the behaviour of pigs (1996)
Journal Article
Young, R., & Lawrence, A. (1996). The effects of high and low rates of food reinforcement on the behaviour of pigs. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 49(4), 365-374. https://doi.org/10.1016/0168-1591%2896%2901052-0

The expression of one behaviour by an animal limits the amount of time available to express other behaviours. In this experiment the amount of time animals had to forage was manipulated by decreasing the rate of food reinforcement available from a fo...

An empirical approach to the evaluation of factors in local authority housing maintenance requirements in the City of Manchester (1996)
Thesis
Olubodun, O. An empirical approach to the evaluation of factors in local authority housing maintenance requirements in the City of Manchester. (Thesis). University of Salford

The thesis is concerned with the evaluation of factors in Local Authority housing maintenance requirements in the City of Manchester. Since 1982, expenditure in housing maintenance and repair works has consistently accounted for more than 50% of tota...

The validation of formal specifications of requirements (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We review the approaches put forward to validate formal specifications of requirements, drawing a parallel with research into the validation of knowledge bases. Using an industrial-scale case study we describe a partially implemented, integrated envi... Read More about The validation of formal specifications of requirements.

Error model for computer control systems (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents an error model that is intended to allow the dependability of computer control systems, with fault tolerant mechanisms included, to be evaluated. The model allows error `surfaces' to be defined for a given application, and used to... Read More about Error model for computer control systems.

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of chiral cyclopentadienylruthenium(II) complexes (1996)
Thesis

This thesis concerns the preparation, structural, and reactivity studies of new
chiral monometallic cyclopentadienylruthenium(n) complexes exhibiting a combination
of metal-centred and ligand-derived chirality.
The introductory chapter provides an... Read More about Synthesis, structure and reactivity of chiral cyclopentadienylruthenium(II) complexes.

The effect of a moving bait on the behaviour of captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) (1996)
Journal Article
Williams, B., Waran, N., Carruthers, J., & Young, R. (1996). The effect of a moving bait on the behaviour of captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). Animal Welfare Journal, 5(3), 271-281. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600018856

Members of the cat family are highly motivated to hunt, but in captivity are unable to do so for a variety of reasons. This inability to hunt may reduce their welfare. In this study we used a moving bait to stimulate and release hunting motivation in... Read More about The effect of a moving bait on the behaviour of captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus).
