Conditional citizens? welfare rights and responsibilities in the late 1990s (1998)
Journal Article
Dwyer, P. (1998). Conditional citizens? welfare rights and responsibilities in the late 1990s. Critical Social Policy, 18(57), 493-517. https://doi.org/10.1177/026101839801805703

In Britain the relationship between welfare rights and responsibilities has undergone change. A new welfare 'consensus' that emphasizes a citizen ship centred on notions of duty rather than rights has been built. This has allowed the state to reduce...

achieving consistent paste deposit volumes from pad-to-pad. At the very... Read More about Modelling and computer simulation of the behaviour of solder paste in stencil printing for surface mount assembly.

The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces (1998)
Thesis
Howarth, M. The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

Computer modelling of acoustics in enclosures has developed into various forms, none
