On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator, Using the Giraffe (Glraffa Camelopardalis) as a Model (1996)
Journal Article
Veasey, J., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1996). On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator, Using the Giraffe (Glraffa Camelopardalis) as a Model. Animal Welfare Journal, 5(2), 139-153. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600018571

To assess the validity of using wild behavioural data as a welfare indicator for zoo animals, the time budgets of 19 captive giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), from four zoos were compared with the time budgets of wild giraffe from Hwange National Par...

Book
Ania, G. (1996). Fortunes of the firefly: Sciascia's art of detection. Market Harborough, UK: University Texts / Troubador

Two of the principal features of Leonardo Sciascia’s works are the treatment of historical events and the adoption of the techniques of the detective novel. It is the latter characteristic which is the object of this study, for which I shall examine... Read More about Fortunes of the firefly: Sciascia's art of detection.

Validity of the schizophrenia diagnosis of the Psychiatric Assessment Schedule for Adults with Developmental Disability (PASS-ADD) (1996)
Journal Article
Disability (PASS-ADD). British Journal of Psychiatry, 168(3), 359-367. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.168.3.359

Background: first rank symptoms are central to the diagnosis of schizophrenia, but their complexity makes it difficult to validly detect them in people with learning disability. This report investigates ability of PAS-ADD to detect schizophrenia, val...

On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator (1996)
Journal Article
Veasey, J. S., Waran, N. K., & Young, R. J. (1996). On Comparing the Behaviour of Zoo Housed Animals with Wild Conspecifics as a Welfare Indicator. Animal Welfare Journal, 5(1), 13-24. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0962728600018297

It is commonly assumed that animals suffer if they cannot perform behaviours seen in wild conspecifics. Although comparisons with the behaviour of wild conspecifics are a popular method of assessing the welfare of captive animals, their validity has...

Assessment of motivation in the lizard, Chalcides ocellatus (1996)
Journal Article
Skelton, T., Waran, N., & Young, R. (1996). Assessment of motivation in the lizard, Chalcides ocellatus. Animal Welfare Journal, 5(1), 63-69. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0962728600018340

The purpose of this study was to assess whether running an alleyway can be used to measure the motivation of lizards. Six, eyed skinks, Chalcides ocellatus, were trained to run an alleyway to reach sand in which to hide. Each skink was deprived of sa...

Nondiffracting beams: travelling, standing, rotating and spiral waves (1996)
Journal Article

A reformulation of nondiffracting beams, based on more general (travelling wave) solutions of the nonparaxial wave equation, is presented. Zero order nondiffracting beams are found to be radial standing waves arising from counterpropagating zero orde...
