Examining chain bookshops in the context of 'third place'. (2013)
Journal Article
LAING, A. and ROYLE, J. 2013. Examining chain bookshops in the context of 'third place'. International journal of retail and distribution management [online], 41(1), pages 27-44. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1108/09590551311288157

Purpose: This research theoretically conceptualises the notion of "third place" within the setting of chain bookshops. The widespread adoption of coffee franchises and comfortable seating has developed the bookshop as a leisurely setting. Underpinnin...

Linearized large signal modeling, analysis and control design of phase-controlled series-parallel resonant converters using state feedback. (2013)
Journal Article
ABOUSHADY, A.A., AHMED, K.H., FINNEY, S.J. and WILLIAMS, B.W. 2013. Linearized large signal modeling, analysis and control design of phase-controlled series-parallel resonant converters using state feedback. IEEE transactions on power electronics [online], 28(8), pages 3896-3911. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1109/TPEL.2012.2231700

This paper proposes a linearized large signal state-space model for the fixed-frequency phase-controlled series-parallel resonant converter. The proposed model utilizes state feedback of the output filter inductor current to perform linearization. Th...

The case for e-book literacy: undergraduate students' experience with e-books for course work. (2013)
Journal Article
MUIR, L. and HAWES, G. 2013. The case for e-book literacy: undergraduate students' experience with e-books for course work. Journal of academic librarianship [online], 39(3), pages 260-274. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acalib.2013.01.002

This paper investigates how electronic books (e-books) are used for scholarly activity. It focuses on the end-users of e-books in a case study which aimed to establish how scholars use and learn from e-books and the limitations of academic e-books. T...

Process evaluations for cluster-randomised trials of complex interventions: a proposed framework for design and reporting. (2013)
Journal Article
GRANT, A., TREWEEK, S., DREISCHULTE, T., FOY, R. and GUTHRIE, B. 2013. Process evaluations for cluster-randomised trials of complex interventions: a proposed framework for design and reporting. Trials [online], 14, article number 15. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-14-15

Background: Process evaluations are recommended to open the 'black box' of complex interventions evaluated in trials, but there is limited guidance to help researchers design process evaluations. Much current literature on process evaluations of comp... Read More about Process evaluations for cluster-randomised trials of complex interventions: a proposed framework for design and reporting..

Contract design and supply chain coordination in the electricity industry. (2013)
Journal Article
OLIVEIRA, F.S., RUIZ, C. and CONEJO, A.J. 2013. Contract design and supply chain coordination in the electricity industry. European journal of operational research [online], 227(3), pages 527-537. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2013.01.003

In this article we propose a model of the supply chain in electricity markets with multiple generators and retailers and considering several market structures. We analyze how market design interacts with the different types of contract and market str... Read More about Contract design and supply chain coordination in the electricity industry..

From admiration to abhorrence: the contentious appeal of entrepreneurship across Europe. (2013)
Journal Article
DODD, S.D., JACK, S. and ANDERSON, A.R. 2013. From admiration to abhorrence: the contentious appeal of entrepreneurship across Europe. Entrepreneurship and regional development [online], 25(1-2), pages 69-89. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/08985626.2012.746878

Although entrepreneurship seems to offer a universal economic solution, there are some doubts about whether it is universally attractive. We argue that entrepreneurship is a socially constructed concept and consequently the meanings, and hence the ap...

Confronting social constructions of rural criminality: a case story on 'illegal pluriactivity' in the farming community. (2013)
Journal Article
SMITH, R. and MCELWEE, G. 2013. Confronting social constructions of rural criminality: a case story on 'illegal pluriactivity' in the farming community. Sociologia ruralis [online], 53(1), pages 112-134. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9523.2012.00580.x

The accepted social construction of the rural criminal is that of the (alien) urban marauder. In this social script the farmer is presented as the victim of crime. Traditionally, farmers enjoy high levels of social esteem and rarely are they vilified...
