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.

Attitude of zoo visitors to the idea of feeding live prey to zoo animals (1997)
Journal Article
Ings, R., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1997). Attitude of zoo visitors to the idea of feeding live prey to zoo animals. Zoo Biology, 16(4), 343-347. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291098-2361%281997%2916%3A4%3C343%3A%3AAID-ZOO6%3E3.0.CO%3B2-A

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...

Effects of foraging enrichment on the behaviour of parrots (1997)
Journal Article
Coulton, L., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1997). Effects of foraging enrichment on the behaviour of parrots. Animal Welfare Journal, 6(4), 357-363. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600020066

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
Ings, R., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1997). Effect of wood-pile feeders on the behaviour of captive bush dogs (Speothos venaticus). Animal Welfare Journal, 6(2), 145-152. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600019618

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).

New avenues in the study of political corruption (1997)
Journal Article
Bull, M., & Newell, J. (1997). New avenues in the study of political corruption. Crime, Law and Social Change, 27(3/4), 169-183. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1008232802273

This article argues that the 1990s have witnessed a sea change in the study of political corruption, especially in political science. It explores the reasons for the relative neglect of corruption by political science in the past, and suggests that a... Read More about New avenues in the study of political corruption.

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...

While the quality of medical intervention associated with day surgery has greatly improved, the position of psychological preparation has remained virtually unchanged. Recent evidence, however, has suggested that anxiety levels can be significantly r... Read More about Patients' perceptions of pre-operative preparation for day surgery.

A state space condition monitoring model for furnace erosion prediction and replacement (1997)
Journal Article
Christer, A., Wang, W., & Sharp, J. (1997). A state space condition monitoring model for furnace erosion prediction and replacement. European Journal of Operational Research, 101, 1-14

The paper develops a replacement action decision aid for a key furnace component subject to condition monitoring.
