Bayesian Optimisation Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling, Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic Modeling
Book Chapter
Li, J., & Aickelin, U. Bayesian Optimisation Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling, Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic Modeling. In M. Pelikan, K. Sastry, & E. Cantu-Paz (Eds.), Algorithms to Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence). Springer

Our research has shown that schedules can be built mimicking a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This chapter presents a Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA) for the nurse scheduling problem that chooses such su...

Gender and Citizenship under New Labour
Book Chapter
Pascall, G. Gender and Citizenship under New Labour. In R. Espiet-Kilty, & T. Whitton (Eds.), Citoyen ou consommateur: les mutations rhetoriques et politiques au Rouyaume-Uni. Presses universitaires Blaise-Pascal

Abstract
To what extent has citizenship been transformed under the New Labour government to include women as equal citizens? This chapter will examine New Labour’s record in terms of alternative conceptions of citizenship: a model based on equal obl... Read More about Gender and Citizenship under New Labour.

Review of order fulfilment models for Catalogue Mass Customization
Book Chapter
Brabazon, P. G., & MacCarthy, B. L. Review of order fulfilment models for Catalogue Mass Customization. In Proceedings of the International Mass Customization Meeting 2005 (IMCM '05). GITO-Verlag

Mass Customization (MC) is not a mature business strategy and hence it is not clear that a single or small group of operational models are dominating. Companies tend to approach MC from either a mass production or a customization origin and this in... Read More about Review of order fulfilment models for Catalogue Mass Customization.

Microstructural characterisation of TiAlTiAu and TiAlPdAu ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN
Book Chapter
Fay, M. W., Harrison, I., Birbeck, J., Hughes, B., Uren, M., Martin, T., & Brown, P. D. Microstructural characterisation of TiAlTiAu and TiAlPdAu ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN. In M. Aindow, & C. Kiely (Eds.), Electron microscopy and analysis 2001: proceedings of the Institute of Physics Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group Conference, University of Dundee, 5-7 September. IOP Publishing Ltd

Ti/Al/Ti/Au and Ti/Al/Pd/Au contacts to AlGaN/GaN have been investigated to ascertain the effect of annealing temperature on the structural evolution of the contacts. Ti/Al/Ti/Au contacts become ohmic after rapid thermal annealing at 750°C or higher,... Read More about Microstructural characterisation of TiAlTiAu and TiAlPdAu ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN.
