The asymptotics of an amplitude for the 4-simplex (1999)
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W., & Williams, R. M. (1999). The asymptotics of an amplitude for the 4-simplex. https://doi.org/10.4310/atmp.1999.v3.n2.a1

An expression for the oscillatory part of an asymptotic formula for the relativistic spin network amplitude for a 4-simplex is given. The amplitude depends on specified areas for each two-dimensional face in the 4-simplex. The asymptotic formula has... Read More about The asymptotics of an amplitude for the 4-simplex.

TIME's past in the present: nostalgia and the black and white image (1999)
Journal Article
Grainge, P. (1999). TIME's past in the present: nostalgia and the black and white image. Journal of American Studies, 33(3), https://doi.org/10.1017/s0021875899006155

In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope sent back to astronomers at the University of Arizona a series of vivid colour images of the Eagle Nebula, a dense formation of interstellar gas and dust the likes of which cradle newborn stars. As evidence that ou... Read More about TIME's past in the present: nostalgia and the black and white image.

Responsiveness of the order fulfilment process (1999)
Journal Article
Kritchanchai, D., & MacCarthy, B. (1999). Responsiveness of the order fulfilment process. International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 19(8), https://doi.org/10.1108/01443579910274419

This paper discusses evidence from field studies undertaken to investigate the responsiveness of the order fulfilment process in a number of companies. The evidence is analysed in the context of the literature on responsiveness and related areas such... Read More about Responsiveness of the order fulfilment process.

Linking electronic journals - Lessons from the Open Journal project (1998)
Journal Article
Hitchcock, S., Carr, L., Hall, W., Harris, S., Probets, S., Evans, D., & Brailsford, D. F. (1998). Linking electronic journals - Lessons from the Open Journal project

The Open Journal project has completed its three year period of funding by the UK Electronic Libraries (eLib) programme (Rusbridge 1998). During that time, the number of journals that are available electronically leapt from a few tens to a few thousa...

Bioaccumulation of metals by lichens: Uptake of aqueous uranium by Peltigera membranacea as a function of time and pH (1998)
Journal Article
Haas, J. R., Bailey, E. H., & William Purvis, O. (1998). Bioaccumulation of metals by lichens: Uptake of aqueous uranium by Peltigera membranacea as a function of time and pH. American Mineralogist, 83(11-12 Part 2), 1494-1502. https://doi.org/10.2138/am-1998-11-1237

Uranium sorption experiments were carried out at ∼25 °C using natural samples of the lichen Peltigera membranacea. Thalli were incubated in solutions containing 100 ppm U for up to 24 h at pH values from 2 to 10. Equilibrium sorption was not observed...

Journal Article
Dening, T., & Lawton, C. (1998). The role of carers in evaluating mental health services for older people. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 13(12), 863-870. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291099-1166%281998120%2913%3A12%3C863%3A%3AAID-GPS885%3E3.0.CO%3B2-L

Objectives. To examine, using the published literature and local service experience, the contributions that carers can make to the development and evaluation of specialist mental health services for the elderly. Methods. MEDLINE search for relevant p... Read More about The role of carers in evaluating mental health services for older people.

Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management (1998)
Journal Article
Common, R. (1998). Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management. International Journal of Public Sector Management, 11(6), 440-450. https://doi.org/10.1108/09513559810244356

There is much talk about a new global paradigm in public administration. However, many claims surrounding the existence of this new paradigm remain largely unsubstantiated. This article reviews some of these claims by attempting to explain how new pu... Read More about Convergence and transfer: A review of the globalisation of new public management.

Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines (1998)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Watson, S. A., Crosbee, D. M., Michaeli, D., & Seth, R. (1998). Coexpression of gastrin and gastrin receptors (CCK-B and ΔCCK-B) in gastrointestinal tumour cell lines. Gut, 42(6), 795-798. https://doi.org/10.1136/gut.42.6.795

Background - The peptide hormone gastrin is a recognised growth factor for gastrointestinal (GI) tumour cells. Carboxyamidated gastrins bind to the cell surface gastrin/cholecystokinin B (CCK-B) receptor which can be expressed as either a normal or a...

The characterisation of fluid transport in porous solids by means of pulsed magnetic field gradient NMR (1998)
Journal Article

The determination, by pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), of the probability distributions (propagators) of displacements for fluids undergoing transport by both flow and self- diffusion within porous solids is outlined. The... Read More about The characterisation of fluid transport in porous solids by means of pulsed magnetic field gradient NMR.
