Searching for information on outcomes: do you need to be comprehensive? (1998)
Journal Article
Brettle, A., Long, A., Grant, M., & Greenhalgh, J. (1998). Searching for information on outcomes: do you need to be comprehensive?. Quality and Safety in Health Care, 7(3), 163-167. https://doi.org/10.1136/qshc.7.3.163

The concepts of evidence-based practice and clinical effectiveness are reliant on up to date, accurate, high quality, and relevant information. Although this information can be obtained from a range of sources, computerised databases such as MEDLINE... Read More about Searching for information on outcomes: do you need to be comprehensive?.

Reviewing and selecting outcome measures for use in routine practice (1998)
Journal Article
Greenhalgh, J., Long, A., Brettle, A., & Grant, M. (1998). Reviewing and selecting outcome measures for use in routine practice. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 4(4), 339-350. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2753.1998.tb00097.x

For the successful achievement of evidence-based practice, clinicians, managers and purchasers need evidence on whether a particular intervention works and ways to judge the appropriateness of the outcome criteria and measures used. Guidance is neede... Read More about Reviewing and selecting outcome measures for use in routine practice.

Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation (1998)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., Chan, Y., New, G., Losev, L., & Lutsenko, A. (1998). Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of Modern Optics, 45(6), 1099-1110. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349808230901

We investigate the extent to which the Raman generation of ultrabroad-band light will be affected by nonlinear competing processes. The model equations are generalized to incorporate an off-axis competing signal and a quantitative study is undertaken...

Non-paraxial solitons (1998)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (1998). Non-paraxial solitons. Journal of Modern Optics, 45(6), 1111-1121. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349808230902

In this paper, we propose the use of ultranarrow soliton beams in miniaturized nonlinear optical devices. We derive a nonparaxial nonlinear Schrödinger equation and show that it has an exact non-paraxial soliton solution from which the paraxial solit... Read More about Non-paraxial solitons.

Gender and prison organisation : some comments on masculinities and prison management (1998)
Journal Article
Carrabine, E., & Longhurst, B. (1998). Gender and prison organisation : some comments on masculinities and prison management. Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, 37(2), 161-176. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-2311.00088

The paper explores the significance of some contemporary writing on masculinities to the management of male prisons. It argues that the incorporation of gender into discussions of imprisonment is an important development, but that there has been a te...

Power, discourse and resistance : an analysis of the Strangeways prison riot (1998)
Thesis
Carrabine, E. Power, discourse and resistance : an analysis of the Strangeways prison riot. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis provides a detailed sociological analysis of the prison riot at Strangeways in April 1990. It is argued that previous explanations of prison unrest have, in the main, paid insufficient attention to fundamental issues in social theory,...

Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective (1998)
Thesis
Ellerker, S. Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The business market of today is much more complex than it has ever been before, making it much more difficult for businesses to not only enter the market place, but to also survive and compete successfully against rival firms. The relatively recent... Read More about Continuous change, process and performance improvement : a holistic systems perspective.
