Buying a dream: alternative models for demand for lotto (2002)
Journal Article
Forrest, D., Simmons, R., & Chesters, N. (2002). Buying a dream: alternative models for demand for lotto. Economic Inquiry, 40(3), 485-496. https://doi.org/10.1093/ei/40.3.485

Existing lotto demand models utilize effective price, computed as the face value of a ticket minus the expected value of prize money per ticket, as their primary explanatory variable. By contrast, this article proposes a key role for consumption bene... Read More about Buying a dream: alternative models for demand for lotto.

Guidance for the psychological care of day case surgery patients (2002)
Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2002). Guidance for the psychological care of day case surgery patients. Nursing Standard, 16(40), 41-43

An increase in day surgery activity to 75 per cent of all elective surgery is a central feature of the NHS Plan (DoH 2000). However, patient information provision remains a challenge for all modern surgery as the time spent in hospital is brief and t...

Optimisation of data collection and processing for efficient strain scanning (2002)
Journal Article
Webster, P., & Kang, W. (2002). Optimisation of data collection and processing for efficient strain scanning. Journal of Neutron Research, 10(2), 93-110. https://doi.org/10.1080/1023816022000006207

A constraint to the academic and industrial exploitation of neutron strain scanning is its cost in relation to that of alternative techniques. Generally, a large proportion of the resource cost is that for beam-time. The efficient utilisation of beam...

Direct modulation of the effective sensitivity of a CCD detector: a new approach to time-resolved fluorescence imaging (2002)
Journal Article
Mitchell, A., Wall, J., Murray, J., & Morgan, C. (2002). Direct modulation of the effective sensitivity of a CCD detector: a new approach to time-resolved fluorescence imaging. Journal of Microscopy, 206(3), 225-232. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2818.2002.01029.x

In this paper a novel approach to frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is described. In a CCD camera a single pixel is defined by a charge pattern on a group of electrodes. By modulation of the pattern of voltages defining the pixel... Read More about Direct modulation of the effective sensitivity of a CCD detector: a new approach to time-resolved fluorescence imaging.

Measurement of nanosecond time-resolved fluorescence with a directly gated interline CCD camera (2002)
Journal Article

CCD cameras coupled optically to gated image intensifiers have been used for fast time-resolved measurements for some years. Image intensifiers have disadvantages, however, and for some applications it would be better if the image sensor could be gat...

Since 1995, the Front National in France has successfully cast itself as a party of ideas. This, according to some observers, is where the power and danger of the French extreme right resides. A media conspiracy theory is seminal to the Front's ideol... Read More about Le Pen & Mégret's Christmas divorce: the far right and the media in France.

Practice teaching and learning are critical elements in the initial professional education of social workers, yet they are fraught with pressures and suffer from shortages in both placements and practice teachers. This paper considers some of the fac... Read More about The motivation of practice teachers - a research note.

The underlying theory of project management is obsolete (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2002, June). The underlying theory of project management is obsolete. Presented at The PMI Research Conference, Seattle, Washington

In prior literature, it has been generally seen that there is no explicit theory of project management. We contend that it is possible to precisely point out the underlying theoretical foundation of project management as espoused in the PMBOK Guide b...
