Reflections on the consanguinity and birth outcome debate
(Oxford University Press, 1994-12)
The high rate of consanguineous marriages has been implicated as an important factor in the high rates of perinatal mortality and congenital malformations among the UK Pakistani population. This paper critically considers ...
The trouble with culture
(routledge london and new york, 1996)
In this chapter my focus is specifically on the way in which ‘culture’ is used in research and health and social policy in relation to racial minorities. In the discourses on ethnicity and culture, there is an interplay ...
Windows of opportunity in rotting frames? Care providers' perspectives on community care and black communities
(SAGE, 1994-07-01)
This paper presents the findings of a survey in Bradford of a range of care providers' perspectives on the broad implications of community care policy, with a particular focus on ethnic minorities. Viewing the policy from ...
Java iconic visual environment for simulation (JIVESim)
(Elsevier, 1999-10)
This paper introduces and investigates the use of a Java Iconic Visual Environment for Simulation (JIVESim). JIVESim is an iconic modelling environment for discrete-event simulation. The paper will give an overview of ...
The Four Phase Method For Modelling Complex Systems
(Proceedings of the 1997 Winter Simulation Conference ed. S. Andraddttir, K. J. Healy, D. H. Withers, and B. L. Nelson, 1997)
This paper investigates an attempt to combine different
simulation tools in order to build a simulation
environment that can be used to model complex system
behaviour. The component tools used in the project are:
the ...
Making simulation more accessible in manufacturing systems through a 'four phase' approach
(IEEE, 1998)
Describes an approach to the development of computer simulations-the 'four-phase' approach-which aims to be more accessible than established approaches to non-specialist developers in manufacturing system design. This paper ...
Modeling at the machine-control level using discrete event simulation (DES)
(IEEE Xplore, 1998-12)
Simulation at the machine-control level plays an important role in designing machine controls and operational specifications. Recently, there has been a considerable amount of work done in the area of manufacturing systems ...
