The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane (2000)
Thesis
Wilkins, G. The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The thesis considers the environmental policy statement of Biffa Waste
Services to progressively reduce its methane emissions to atmosphere, and
then sets out to develop a strategy for achieving this aim. As a major waste
disposal company, disposi... Read More about The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane.

Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation (2000)
Journal Article
Syed, K., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 17(8), 1366-1375. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.17.001366

The theory of ultrabroadband multifrequency Raman generation is extended, for the first time, to allow for beam-propagation effects in one and two transverse dimensions. We show that a complex transverse structure develops even when diffraction is ne... Read More about Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation.

Developing production theory: What issues need to be taken into consideration? (2000)
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J., Koskela, L., Howell, G., & Kagioglou, M. (2000, July). Developing production theory: What issues need to be taken into consideration?. Presented at IGLC 20, San Diego CA

The aim of this paper is to establish key issues that a theory of production should address, to conceptualize these issues and to sketch an account of their interaction.
Aristotle's analyses of knowledge and causality are used, in conjunction with W... Read More about Developing production theory: What issues need to be taken into consideration?.

TempoMiner: towards mining time-oriented data (2000)
Thesis
Saraee, M. TempoMiner: towards mining time-oriented data. (Thesis). University of Manchester, Institute of Science and Technology

The time dimension is a unique and powerful dimension in every enterprise data. In dynamic application such as financial and medical applications representing data as it changes overtime is a common problem. There are diverse applications that requir...

Learning Chomsky-like grammars for biological sequence families (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Muggleton, S., Bryant, C., & Srinivasan, A. (2000). Learning Chomsky-like grammars for biological sequence families. In P. Langley (Ed.), Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Machine Learning (631-638)

This paper presents a new method of measuring performance when positives are rare and investigates whether Chomsky-like grammar representations are useful for learning accurate comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The... Read More about Learning Chomsky-like grammars for biological sequence families.

Viewing the corporate community as a knowledge network (2000)
Journal Article
Swan, W., Langford, N., Watson, I., & Varey, R. J. (2000). Viewing the corporate community as a knowledge network. Corporate Communications: An International Journal, 5(2), 97-106. https://doi.org/10.1108/13563280010372522

The inter‐organizational network is becoming an increasingly common form of organization. The majority of trade is carried out between organizations, rather than organizations and households. Many of these networks are concerned with the exchange of... Read More about Viewing the corporate community as a knowledge network.
