Thesis

The thesis considers the environmental policy statement of Biffa Waste
Services to progressively reduce its methane emissions to atmosphere, and
then sets out to develop a strategy for achieving this aim. As a major waste
disposal company, disposi... Read More about The development of a strategy for Biffa Waste Services to reduce its atmospheric emissions of landfill methane.

Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation (2000)
Journal Article
Syed, K., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 17(8), 1366-1375. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.17.001366

The theory of ultrabroadband multifrequency Raman generation is extended, for the first time, to allow for beam-propagation effects in one and two transverse dimensions. We show that a complex transverse structure develops even when diffraction is ne... Read More about Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation.

Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2000). Anxiety management: a distinct nursing role in day surgery. Ambulatory Surgery, 8(3), 119-127. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-6532%2899%2900061-X

Improved anaesthetic techniques and the increase in minimal access surgery over the past 20 years has had a considerable impact upon the pattern of nursing care required by the surgical patient. In order to adapt to these changes some day surgery nur... Read More about Anxiety management: a distinct nursing role in day surgery.

The origins, forms and effects of modularity and semesterisation in ten UK-based business schools (2000)
Journal Article
Morris, H. (2000). The origins, forms and effects of modularity and semesterisation in ten UK-based business schools. Higher Education Quarterly, 54(3), 239-258. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-2273.00158

This paper examines the introduction of modularisation and semesterisation at ten UK-based business schools. Using this case study evidence, it is argued that the main reasons for the introduction of these schemes were the personal ambitions of senio...
