A biomechanical analysis of the acute effects of complex training using lower limb exercises (2003)
Journal Article
Jones, P., & Lee, A. (2003). A biomechanical analysis of the acute effects of complex training using lower limb exercises. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 17(4), 694-700

The aim of this study was to investigate the current practice of complex training using a lower body combination of exercises. It was hypothesized that a bout of heavy resistance exercise (HRE), as typically used in complex training, would lead to en...

Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) (2003)
Journal Article
Rees, P. (2003). Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Journal of Thermal Biology, 29(1), 37-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2003.10.004

(1) Captive Asian elephants exhibited a strong negative correlation between maximum daily temperature and the frequency of stereotypic behaviour, in those animals predisposed to exhibit stereotypies. (2) The frequency of stereotypic behaviours increa... Read More about Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus).

Prevalence of zoonotic important parasites in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in Great Britain. (2003)
Journal Article

A national necropsy survey of red foxes was carried out across Great Britain to record Echinococcus, Trichinella and Toxoplasma. The survey did not record directly, or indirectly using coproantigen/PCR tests, evidence for the presence of Echinococcus...

Designing a context-aware distributed system: asking the key questions (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Linge, N., Bates, D., Ritchings, T., & Chrisp, T. (2003, November). Designing a context-aware distributed system: asking the key questions. Presented at Communications, Internet and Information Technology (CIIT 2003), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Our previous research identified clear business benefits and the need for an intelligent information flow algorithm that could match information delivery requirements for mobile workers to the capability of the delivery networks. The primary mech... Read More about Designing a context-aware distributed system: asking the key questions.

The pursuit of understanding: Modelling dynamic behaviour in disease, life and love (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Dangerfield, B. (2003, November). The pursuit of understanding: Modelling dynamic behaviour in disease, life and love. Presented at Inaugural Lecture: Professor Brian Dangerfield, University of Salford

The past 15 years have seen developments in management science which, when modelling complex systems, switch the focus away from the pursuit of prediction and towards increased understanding of the qualitative behaviour patterns which can arise. Obt... Read More about The pursuit of understanding: Modelling dynamic behaviour in disease, life and love.

Morphologic, karyotypic, and molecular evidence of a new form of Chiropotes (Primates, Pitheciinae) (2003)
Journal Article

Medical advances have led to a considerable rise in the level of elective surgery undertaken as day-case surgery and with minimal hospital stay. However, amid such advances, preoperative psychological care has remained relatively static. A considerab... Read More about Patient anxiety and modern elective surgery: a literature review.

Muscle fatigue induced by exercise simulating the work rate of competitive soccer (2003)
