The advent of performance metrics over the past two decades has heralded a cultural shift in
the way public service bodies and institutions have been managed. As a result, all public
service provision is now subjected to government led performance…

We consider the nonlinear interaction problem of surface waves with a tethered
near-surface buoy. Our objective is to investigate mechanisms for nonlinear short
surface wave generation in this complete coupled wave-buoy-cable dynamical system.
We develop an effective numerical simulation capability…

Real-time holographic interferometry has been used to visualize the evolution of the polarization layer during dead-end ultrafiltration of PEG-10000. Several experiments at a constant pressure of 1 bar and varying the feed concentration of PEG-10000 (5–12.5 kg/m3) have been carried…

In this paper we analyze a simple experiment to study the effects of polarized light. A simple optical system composed of a polarizer, a retarder (cellotape) and an analyzer is used to study the effect on the polarization state of…

Photographic emulsions are still widely used to record holographic optical elements. In particular, if high diffraction efficiencies are needed, phase volume holograms are preferably recorded on these emulsions. Two particular techniques producing high-quality volume phase holograms are fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching…

Discusses the debates raging around the content and delivery of business school education. Likens the current state to an organisational sickness, which needs to be
fully diagnosed before we can redesign our curricula.

Purpose: Businesses operate in a world facing a range of urgent global issues (UGIs). Unless an effective response is made in the near future, extremely damaging consequences are forecast. The purpose of this paper is to offer assistance to business…

Mixed-species foraging flocks were studied at Kichwa Tembo Camp on the edge the
Masia Mara National Reserve in Kenya between July and September 2004.
Observations were made on 29 mixed-species flocks, in which 24 species participated.
African Paradise Flycatcher Terpsiphone…

Background: There are many studies concerning the health consequences of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, little research has been done on the health consequences of other forms of violence against women (VAW) such as the violence perpetrated by male relatives,…
