Shaw, Ian, Bell, Margaret, Sinclair, Ian, Sloper, Patricia, Mitchell, Wendy, Dyson, Paul, ...
We outline selected central results from a formative evaluation of four pilot sites in England and Wales of the Integrated Children's System (ICS) – one part of the UK's e-Government strategy. We...
Moffatt, Andrew J., Wright, Peter, Buffière, Jean-Yves, Sinclair, Ian, Spearing, Simon Mark
In situ synchrotron radiation computed tomography has been used to investigate 0 degrees ply splits in a [90/0](s) carbon fibre-epoxy laminate. This technique allows for direct three-dimensional...

In the adaptive derivation of mathematical models from data, each data point should contribute with a weight reflecting the amount of confidence one has in it. When no additional information for data...
Engaging our neighbours: Towards a new relationship between Australia and the Pacific Islands (2008)
Peter Abigail, Ian Sinclair, And Others
This report of an Independent Task Force considers future directions in Australia's Pacific Islands policy. Areas of interest include improving relations, improving governance, creating an enabling...

On the use of Advanced Inductive Methods for Knowledge Extraction from Complex Datasets (2007)
Jaz S. K, Steve R. Gunn, Ian Sinclair
Abstract. Advanced inductive methods are increasingly being used for modelling tasks. However, a limitation of many approaches is the lack of model transparency which can aid in model validation and...
Singh, Konjengbam Darunkumar, Kohr, Kern Hauw, Sinclair, Ian
Results from finite element modelling of plasticity-induced crack closure (PICC) and roughness-induced crack closure (RICC) of fatigue cracks subjected to single overloads are presented. Effects of...
Singh, Konjengbam Darunkumar, Khor, Kern Hauw, Sinclair, Ian
A simple micromechanical model for the competitive influences of roughness-induced crack closure (RICC) and plasticity-induced crack closure (PICC) on fatigue during single peak overloads has been...
Wilson, Kate, Sinclair, Ian, Taylor, C, Pithouse, A, Sellick, C
On any one day over 75,000 children are looked after by local authorities in the UK. Numerically the most important form of provision for these looked after children is foster care. This caters for...

A Kind of Loving: A Model of Effective Foster Care (2003)
Wilson, Kate, Petrie, Steph, Sinclair, Ian
The article builds on a companion statistical paper, which drew on the findings of a large sample of foster placements and analysed factors leading to a successful placement and the avoidance of...
Data were collected on 472 foster children at an interval of 14 months. The children's social workers, the family placement social workers and the foster carers reported on disruptions, and the...
Fatigue optimization in aerospace aluminium alloys (2001)
Aluminium alloys remain a key airframe material, particularly for civil aircraft. In terms of fatigue optimization, it is clear that a combination of materials and design/lifing improvements are...

Consistency: a pre-requisite for inspecting old people's homes? (1992)
Inspection of old people's homes, in both local authority and independent sectors, forms a major component in the work of the new ‘arm's length‘ inspection units. The success of these units will...
Day Centres for the Elderly: Variations in Type, Provision and User Response (1980)
EDWARDS, CAROL, SINCLAIR, IAN, GORBACH, PETER
Until recently comparatively little attention has been paid to the fast-growing field of day care provision for adults. The National Day Care Project set out to provide some of the basic information...
