Classification, follow-up and recurrence of hepatic cystic echinococcosis using ultrasound images (2003)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Zhang, X., Bartholomot, B., Liu, B., Luo, J., Li, T., …Craig, P. (2003). Classification, follow-up and recurrence of hepatic cystic echinococcosis using ultrasound images. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0035-9203%2803%2990121-0

Ultrasound image and morphological structure of hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) were analysed in 277 human cases (385 hepatic hydatid cysts). These included 65 CE cases from community surveys carried out between 1995 and 2000 in 3 countries (China...

A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement. (2003)
Journal Article
Scarf, P., & Apeland, S. (2003). A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 54(4), 371-378. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2601505

The timing of replacement of equipment is dependent on factors like replacement costs, discount factors and differences in productivity, reliability and safety of existing and new equipment. Predictions related to these factors are, however, normally... Read More about A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement..

Preparation of thin and highly stable Pd/Ag composite membranes and simulative analysis of transfer resistance for hydrogen separation (2003)
