Being more certain about random assignment in social policy evaluations (2002)
Journal Article
Stafford, B. (2002). Being more certain about random assignment in social policy evaluations. Social Policy and Society, 1(4),

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hardy, M. R. B., & Brailsford, D. F. Mapping and Displaying Structural Transformations between XML and PDF. Presented at ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '02)

Documents are often marked up in XML-based tagsets to delineate major structural components such as headings, paragraphs, figure captions and so on, without much regard to their eventual displayed appearance. And yet these same abstract documents, af... Read More about Mapping and Displaying Structural Transformations between XML and PDF.

A Comparison of two Proof Critics: Power vs. Robustness (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dennis, L. A., & Bundy, A. A Comparison of two Proof Critics: Power vs. Robustness. Presented at Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, 15th International Conference, TPHOLs 2002

Proof critics are a technology from the proof planning paradigm. They examine failed proof attempts in order to extract information which can be used to generate a patch which will allow the proof to go through.
We consider the proof of the $quot;wh... Read More about A Comparison of two Proof Critics: Power vs. Robustness.

In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters (2002)
Journal Article
Corteling, R., Wyss, D., & Trifilieff, A. (2002). In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters. BMC Pharmacology, 2(1),

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that both the migration and activation of neutrophils into the airway is of importance in pathological conditions such as pulmonary emphysema. In the present study, we describe in vivo models of lung neutrophil infiltrat... Read More about In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters.
