Numerical studies of displacement natural ventilation in multi-storey buildings connected to an atrium (2007)
Journal Article
multi-storey buildings connected to an atrium. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 28(3), 207-222. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624407077190

This paper describes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations used to investigate displacement natural ventilation in simple multi-storey spaces connected to an atrium. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the potential of CFD for modellin... Read More about Numerical studies of displacement natural ventilation in multi-storey buildings connected to an atrium.

The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery (2007)
Journal Article
Harvey, A., Graham, H., Morris, M., Baker, R., & Wolfe, R. (2007). The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery. Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 49(8), 603-607. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8749.2007.00603.x

The aim of this study was to examine the ability of the
Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) to detect change in children
with cerebral palsy (CP) undergoing single event multilevel
surgery (SEMLS). A retrospective study was conducted of
gait laborato... Read More about The functional mobility scale : ability to detect change following single event multilevel surgery.

How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women? (2007)
Journal Article
Hollins Martin, C. J. (2007). How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?. British Journal of Midwifery, 15(8), 480-484

Obedience research has shown that under situational pressures and within hierarchical relationships, people have a propensity towards submission to authority (Milgram, 1974). Once they have done so, their actions are no longer guided by their own val... Read More about How can we improve choice provision for childbearing women?.

AOG-ags algorithms and applications (2007)
Book Chapter
Wang, L., Lu, J., Yip, Y., & Lu, J. (2007). AOG-ags algorithms and applications. In Advanced Data Mining and Applications (323-334). Springer Berlin / Heidelberg

The attribute-oriented generalization (AOG for short) method is one of the most important data mining methods. In this paper, a reasonable approach of AOG (AOG-ags, attribute-oriented generalization based on attributes? generalization sequence), whic... Read More about AOG-ags algorithms and applications.

Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output (2007)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Connick, M., Graham-Smith, P., & Pearson, S. (2007). Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 21(3), 986-989

The purpose of this study was to concurrently determine the effect that plyometric and isometric training has on tendon stiffness (K) and muscle output characteristics to compare any subsequent changes. Thirteen men trained the lower limbs either ply... Read More about Plyometric vs. isometric training influences on tendon properties and muscle output.

The future of transport and tourism : a Delphi approach (2007)
