Experimental comparison of voting algorithms in cases of disagreement (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Voting algorithms are used to mask erroneous results from redundant subsystems (variants) in fault tolerant systems. While voting algorithms are well known and widely used, the authors are not aware of any detailed investigation of voter behaviour in...

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.

Testing fault-tolerant systems using a unified error model (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a method of designing test data based around a unified error model. The model allows error 'surfaces' to be defined for a given application, and used to define a test region(s) that give a measure of test coverage. The paper appli...

Developing a more empirical approach to culture, attitude and motivation in construction management research: a critique and a proposal (1997)
Journal Article

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...
