Hormone transport (2010)
Book Chapter
Hormone transport in plants is a fundamental process governing all aspects of plant development. Identification and functional analysis of plasma membrane proteins, which regulate the import and export of plant hormones, is a requirement if we are to... Read More about Hormone transport.
Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling (2010)
Book Chapter
The great deluge algorithm explores neighbouring solutions which are accepted if they are better than the best solution so far or if the detriment in quality is no larger than the current water level. In the original great deluge method, the water le... Read More about Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling.
Ionic Permeability and Currents in the Lens (2010)
Book Chapter
© 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. It has been proposed that in the absence of a blood supply the lens operates an internal microcirculation system. In this system spatially distinct differences in the membrane transport properties of the lens... Read More about Ionic Permeability and Currents in the Lens.
Reusable learning objects in healthcare education (2010)
Book Chapter
This chapter will review the definition, development and characteristics of reusable learning objects (RLOs) and outline examples of how these resources are meeting the challenges of interprofessional learning. It will discuss the ways in which pedag... Read More about Reusable learning objects in healthcare education.
Case studies of creating reusable inter professional e-learning objects (2010)

Discovering beneficial cooperative structures for the automated construction of heuristics (2010)
Book Chapter
The current research trends on hyper-heuristics design have sprung up in two different flavours: heuristics that choose heuristics and heuristics that generate heuristics. In the latter, the goal is to develop a problem-domain independent strategy to... Read More about Discovering beneficial cooperative structures for the automated construction of heuristics.
From poster to PhD: The evolution of a literature review (2010)
Book Chapter
A literature review evolves. At first the literature constitutes the research, then it is constituted by it. The story of the evolution of the literature review for Kerryn’s research is intertwined with the story of her evolving relationship with Hila...

The PAVE study (Physical Activity Virtual Education): development of reusable learning objects (RLOs) to enhance nursing students' knowledge and understanding of physical activity (2010)
Book Chapter
The aim of this project was to design, build and test two sustainable reusable learning objects (RLOs) for physical activity (PA) and provide opportunities to assess changes in knowledge and self-reported behaviour following exposure. The RLOs develo...

Scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation for cost benefit analysis of the cargo screening process (2010)
Book Chapter
In this paper we present our ideas for conducting a cost benefit analysis by using three different methods: scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation. Then we introduce our case study and examine these methods in a real world situation. We sh...
