Re-Engineering, concurrent engineering, lean production: What is the ideal antidote for the construction industry's ailments? (1997)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (1997, July). Re-Engineering, concurrent engineering, lean production: What is the ideal antidote for the construction industry's ailments?. Presented at International Conference on Construction Process Re-engineering, Gold Coast, Australia

It is widely agreed that the practice of construction is deficient and requires improvement. However, the construction research community has had little to contribute to a solution, except trialling new approaches from general management scene or ad...

Transforming general program proofs: a meta interpreter which expands negative literals (1997)
Presentation / Conference
West, M., Bryant, C., & McCluskey, T. (1997, July). Transforming general program proofs: a meta interpreter which expands negative literals. Presented at 7th International Workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation, Leuven, Belgium

This paper provides a method for generating a proof tree from an instance and a general logic program viz one which includes negative literals. The method differs from previous work in the field in that negative literals are first unfolded and then...

The control of nuisance Diptera breeding in sewage biological filters by low frequency dosing and application of the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen (1997)
Thesis
Coombs, R. The control of nuisance Diptera breeding in sewage biological filters by low frequency dosing and application of the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen. (Thesis). University of Salford

The efficacy of low frequency dosing, and application of the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen, for the control of sewage filter flies, was assessed. The low dosing frequency trials targeted primarily Sylvicola fenestralis, but also the chironomid...

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...

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.
