Blended learning in practice (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Procter, C. (2003, September). Blended learning in practice. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment conference, Salford

This paper is in two parts. Firstly it attempts to create a definition of blended learning. It argues that blended learning need not be seen as the province of technical experts or of distance-learning students. Blended learning is simply the effec... Read More about Blended learning in practice.

Remote photoacoustic detection of liquid contamination of a surface (2003)
Journal Article
Perrett, B., Harris, M., Pearson, G., Willetts, D., & Pitter, M. (2003). Remote photoacoustic detection of liquid contamination of a surface. Applied Optics, 42(24), 4901-4908. https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.42.004901

A method for the remote detection and identification of liquid chemicals at ranges of tens of meters is presented. The technique uses pulsed indirect photoacoustic spectroscopy in the 10-μm wavelength region. Enhanced sensitivity is brought about by...

Reach-scale sediment transfers: An evaluation of two morphological budgeting approaches. (2003)
Journal Article
Fuller, I., Large, A., Charlton, M., Heritage, G., & Milan, D. (2003). Reach-scale sediment transfers: An evaluation of two morphological budgeting approaches. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 28(8), 889-903. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1011

This paper compares two approaches used to derive measures of annual sediment transfers within a 1 km long piedmont reach of the gravel-bed River Coquet in Northumberland, northern England. The techniques utilize: (i) channel planform and cross-secti... Read More about Reach-scale sediment transfers: An evaluation of two morphological budgeting approaches..

An analysis of epidural related pressure sores in a specific patient population (2003)
Journal Article
Duncan, F., Haigh, C., & Bailey, S. (2003). An analysis of epidural related pressure sores in a specific patient population. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1366-0071%2803%2900022-6

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between post-operative epidural analgesia and incidence of heel pressure sores. The study sample consisted of 53 men and women over the age of 20 years who had major abdominal surgery (m...

Infant or baby massage has emerged in the recent decade as an activity promoted by health care professionals, popular with parents and the subject of a growing body of research evidence (Complement. Ther. Nurs. Midwifery 2 (1996) 151; 3 & 8 Tough The... Read More about A minority report: teaching fathers baby massage.

Synthetic opals made by the Langmuir-Blodgett method (2003)
Journal Article
Bardosova, M., Hodge, P., Pach, L., Pemble, M., Smatko, V., Tredgold, R., & Whitehead, D. (2003). Synthetic opals made by the Langmuir-Blodgett method. Thin Solid Films, 437(1-2), 276-279. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0040-6090%2803%2900596-0

Monodispersive synthetic opal particles were formed by the method of Stober et al. [J. Colloid Interface Sci. 26 (1968) 62] and were made hydrophobic by reacting them with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. Groups of particles were dissolved in...
