The effect of a hinged ankle-foot orthosis on hemiplegic gait: Four single case studies (1998)
Journal Article
Tyson, S., Thornton, H., & Downes, A. (1998). The effect of a hinged ankle-foot orthosis on hemiplegic gait: Four single case studies. Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 14(2), 75-85. https://doi.org/10.3109/09593989809057150

This study used a single-case design to assess the effect of a hinged ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on four hemiplegic subjects, and elicited their views of the AFO. The gait parameters measured were: velocity, stride length, step length and symmetry usi... Read More about The effect of a hinged ankle-foot orthosis on hemiplegic gait: Four single case studies.

This paper reviews emerging computer techniques for discovering knowledge from databases and their application to various sets of separation data. The data-sets include the separation of a diverse range of analytes using either liquid, gas or ion chr... Read More about Knowledge discovery in databases: application to chromatography.

Modification of a microbial co-polyester by graft copolymerisation (1998)
Thesis
Wormald, P. Modification of a microbial co-polyester by graft copolymerisation. (Thesis). University of Salford

The principal objective of this project was to introduce specific properties in to a polymer required by the sponsor company, Bonded Fibre Fabric, namely appropriate thermal characteristics coupled with biodegradability. Microbial polyesters are biod... Read More about Modification of a microbial co-polyester by graft copolymerisation.

A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Samoail, N., & Yousif, S. (1998, April). A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation. Presented at Proceedings of the 3rd Institute of Mathematics and its Applications International Conference on Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control, Cardiff, UK

In urban areas where roadworks are required, single lane shuttle operation is applied, especially where there is limited road space. There are operational problems relating to the site such as site geometry, visibility, length of roadworks zone, pos... Read More about A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation.

'Do we all get a PhD?' Attempting emancipatory research relating to disability in an academic environment. Relating to disability in an academic environment (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Garbutt, R., & Seymour, J. (1998, April). 'Do we all get a PhD?' Attempting emancipatory research relating to disability in an academic environment. Relating to disability in an academic environment. Presented at British Sociological Association annual conference 1998, Making Sense of the Body, Edinburgh, UK

Within the model of emancipatory research, the researcher is situated as one member of a team. They are often conceptualised as providing methodological tools and skills to others involved in the research project but the definition of topic, data ana... Read More about 'Do we all get a PhD?'

Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Ibarguengoytia, P., Sucar, E., & Vadera, S. (1998, March). Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation. Presented at Fourteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, University of Wisconsin Business School, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

For many real time applications, it is important to validate the information received form the sensors before entering higher levels of reasoning. This paper presents an any time probabilistic algorithm for validating the information provided by sens... Read More about Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation.

Control of bio-regenerated granular activated carbon by spreadsheet modelling (1998)
Journal Article
