Journal Article
Lyons, J., Young, R., & Deag, J. (1997). The effects of physical characteristics of the environment and feeding regime on the behavior of captive felids. Zoo Biology, 16(1), 71-83. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291098-2361%281997%2916%3A1%3C71%3A%3AAID-ZOO8%3E3.0.CO%3B2-8

The behavior of captive felids is influenced by enclosure design and management regime. The behavior of nine felid species housed in 11 enclosures was recorded using instantaneous scan sampling. Stereotypic pacing was observed in 15 out of 19 individ... Read More about The effects of physical characteristics of the environment and feeding regime on the behavior of captive felids.

Two hundred UK zoo visitors were asked about their attitudes regarding the feeding of live prey to zoo animals. All visitors agreed with live insects being fed to lizards, providing it was done off-exhibit, and only 4% objected if done on-exhibit. Se...

The purpose of this study was to enrich parrot enclosures by creating foraging opportunities appropriate for the species and to investigate the possible preference for a variable versus a constant food supply. The foraging device comprised of a lengt... Read More about Effects of foraging enrichment on the behaviour of parrots.

On the generation of ultra-broad bandwidth light in air at atmospheric pressure (1997)
Journal Article
atmospheric pressure. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 30(21), L719-L725. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/30/21/002

We predict that ultra-broadband light consisting of over 150 distinct frequencies of comparable energy can be generated in air at atmospheric pressure by stimulated Raman scattering using resonant symmetric pumping. Nanosecond input pulses and the hi... Read More about On the generation of ultra-broad bandwidth light in air at atmospheric pressure.

Developing a more empirical approach to culture, attitude and motivation in construction management research: a critique and a proposal (1997)
Journal Article
Rooke, J. (1997). Developing a more empirical approach to culture, attitude and motivation in construction management research: a critique and a proposal. Journal of construction procurement, 3(2),

This paper addresses the problem of achieving adequate empirical accounts of culture, motivation and attitudes in construction management research. The usual association of adequacy with objectivity, causality and quantification is criticised and it...

Effect of wood-pile feeders on the behaviour of captive bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) (1997)
Journal Article

The influence of an environmental enrichment programme on the searching behaviour of separate groups of male and female bush dogs at Edinburgh Zoo was evaluated. The enrichment programme involved hiding food in specially constructed wood-piles and ot... Read More about Effect of wood-pile feeders on the behaviour of captive bush dogs (Speothos venaticus).

Tools for producing formal specifications : a view of current architectures and future directions (1997)
Journal Article
Vadera, S., & Meziane, F. (1997). Tools for producing formal specifications : a view of current architectures and future directions. Annals of Software Engineering, 3(1), 273-290. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018950324254

During the last decade, one important contribution towards requirements engineering has been the advent of formal specification languages. They offer a well-defined notation that can improve consistency and avoid ambiguity in specifications. However...
