Abstract:

Discusses the current practices followed by some major libraries in Scotland for providing digital reference services (DRS). Refers to the DRSs provided by three academic libraries, namely Glasgow University Library, the University of Strathclyde Library, and Glasgow Caledonian University Library, and two other premier libraries in Scotland, the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh. Concludes that digital reference services are effective forms of service delivery in Scotland’s academic, national and public libraries, but that their full potential has not yet been exploited. E‐mail is the major technology used in providing digital reference, although plans are under way to use more sophisticated Internet technologies. Notes that the majority of enquiries handled by the libraries are relatively low‐level rather than concerning specific knowledge domains, and training the users to extract information from the best digital resources still remains a challenge.

Abstract:

Summary Excavation and survey work ahead of the new M74 road development, jointly funded by Historic Scotland and Scottish Office Industry Department (Roads), at an unenclosed platform settlement, with its accompanying field system, has yielded an Early Bronze Age radiocarbon date from a primary hut platform structure. Subsequent re-use of the single excavated platform stance is dated to the Pre-Roman Iron Age.

Abstract:

Summary It will be shown that at the time of Roman conquest, the Damnonii in Strathclyde consisted probably of a decentralised grouping of tribesmen whose political fragmentation is evidenced by their ubiquitous smallscale structures. Some form of hierarchical society is indicated with wealth based on ownership of land and stock and mixed farming the basic element in an embedded economy. Archaeological evidence suggests the Damnonii may have undergone a degree of agricultural revolution in the pre-Roman Iron Age sufficient to meet the demands of an invading and standing army. Roman finds clearly datable to the 1st century AD have been found on only three native sites at the extremities of the area under investigation, their presence suggesting not casual drift from Roman to native, but deliberate Roman policy to control the Damnonii through a few leaders rewarded with Roman patronage. The points of contact are widened in the 2nd century AD. Bearing in mind that Romanization in southern Scotland is different from that of the fully Romanized province of southern Britain and that Roman occupation in Scotland was relatively brief and essentially military, southern Scotland in effect being a frontier zone, it will be shown that the degree of Romanization is not insignificant and Romanization itself may even have gained momentum after the departure of the Roman army. An examination of the finds from Buiston crannog shows elements of continuity as well as discontinuity with Roman culture and technology. Perhaps the clearest expression of Romanization in the longer term, is the emergence of the Romano-British church in the Early Historic period in south-west Scotland.

Abstract:

Abstract The force and coherency with which Margaret Thatcher and her inner circle outlined their vision for ‘enterprise culture’, like so many aspects of Thatcherism, have masked the complexity of its origins and the histories of alternative responses. This article provides a history of an alternative vision for enterprise culture by examining the community business movement in Scotland, the largest experiment of its kind in the UK in the 1980s and a forerunner of social enterprise. Working across Scotland, but with a hub of activity in the Strathclyde region, practitioners worked with local people to find ways to develop their neighbourhood economy while improving their environment, creating jobs, and developing services needed in their area. This article outlines the origins of the movement, the shared values of its founding members, and how their training in community development informed the community business model. It analyses how practitioners put their ideas into practice and the reasons behind the fragmentation of the movement in the 1990s. It argues that although at face value the concept of community business may appear to chime with the dominant political rhetoric of Thatcher’s ‘enterprise culture’, the history of the movement provides a signpost to an alternative, if unrealised, vision for Scotland’s recovery from social and economic depression. Where previous historical research has focused on the political consequences of Thatcher’s policies in Scotland, this research connects this discussion to the transformation of Scotland’s civic society in the wake of deindustrialization.

Abstract:

The author summarizes current strategies at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland which respond to the need to collaborate effectively with local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These strategies are the results of four key policy strands: networking with local development agencies to improve industrial liaison; licensing IPR to SMEs; supporting initiatives from academic staff who wish to establish an institute or research centre which would address near-market needs of a local industry sector; and encouraging SMEs to collaborate with universities through national and international schemes.

Abstract:

Summary Our knowledge of the pattern of Roman occupation in SW Scotland is limited by significant gaps not least of primary sites on the littoral fringe. This article follows Keppie's forward looking review (Keppie 1993) by providing a framework for extending our knowledge through archival research, fieldwork and examination of local material. In Part One, postulated as well as established Roman roads are examined along with adjacent Roman and Romano-British sites and finds. In Part Two, the evidence presented in Part One will be assessed as to its significance for the pattern of Romanisation in Strathclyde S of the Antonine Wall.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIntensive coniferous afforestation of many water supply catchments is taking place in Strathclyde Region. The current concern over the impact of this significant change in land use on the quantity and quality of water supplies is discussed. Some effects, such as high sediment run-off associated with ploughing and road development, may be of dramatic short-term effect, while others, such as reduction in quantitative yield, the development of eutrophication or acidification with aluminium leaching from soils, may take longer to materialise. Selective routine water quality monitoring work commenced in 1984 in a number of water supply catchments aimed at identifying forestry-related water quality trends. The initial results of this work are presented. Against the background of catchment land use changes, new European Community water supply standards were imposed in 1985 committing the Region to a substantial capital expenditure programme over a ten-year period in order to upgrade water treatment works. Any significant long-term changes in water quality associated with forestry activity will make this programme more costly to achieve. It is considered that the water supplies most susceptible to forestry related quantity or quality problems are the small supplies in areas of Argyll, Ayrshire and the Islands. It is suggested that the way forward is for improved advance consultation and planning on a site specific basis to protect public water supply interests.

Abstract:

The Ship Stability Research Centre, Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, The Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, Scotland, UKA linearized three-dimensional potential flow formulation in time domain is applied to calculate wave-making resistance of ships in calm water. Steady-state perturbation potentials for resistance are obtained as the steady-state limit of the surge radiation impulse response function using the transient free surface source distribution over the body surface. Five different vessels are used to validate the present numerical approximation. The results, including steady-state wave-making resistance, sinkage force, trim moment, and wave profile along the waterline, are compared with other published numerical and experimental results.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTTwo new broad-cupped camerate crinoids are reported from the Upper Ordovician (Ashgill, Rawtheyan) Lady Burn Starfish Beds of the Girvan district, Strathclyde, SW Scotland. These represent a significant addition to the limited crinoid diversity known from the Ordovician of the British Isles. The 20-armed diplobathrid Eodimerocrinites littlewoodi gen. et sp. nov. is similar to Silurian Dimerocrinites Phillips, but lacks median ray ridges and has a distinct calyx sculpture. Camerate sp. indet. differs from E. littlewoodi in the sculpture of the dorsal cup and the arrangement of the interbrachial plates, but it preserves insufficient information for it to be further classified with confidence.New specimens of the diplobathrid gen. et sp. nov. cf Botting from the Middle Ordovician (Llanvirn, Abereiddian) of central Wales, that illustrate hitherto unknown morphological features, including a distal rhizoidal holdfast and a geniculate proximal column, suggest that this species was a rheophilic filter feeder. One specimen is one of the most complete fossil crinoids known from the Ordovician of the British Isles.

Abstract:

There has been a wealth of information relating to the role of methadone in fatalities over the past decade. However, a dearth exists in the literature of deaths involving dihydrocodeine, a substitute that is being increasingly prescribed by general practitioners for drug harm reduction purposes. Over the past five years in the Strathclyde region of Scotland there has been an increase in the number of drug related deaths involving dihydrocodeine with the largest increase occurring in the latter two years. This in combination with a general acceptance for this drug as a substitute for methadone amongst general practitioners highlights its potential abuse factor which is addressed in this paper. As the number of methadone deaths in relation to the total number of accidental drug related deaths per annum decrease, those related to dihydrocodeine are shown to be increasing.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPlants of gymnospermous affinities are the most important component of the flora at East Kirkton. Four genera of anatomically preserved gymnosperm stems with well developed secondary xylem are interpreted as arborescent. The largest specimens (trunks up to 50 cm in diameter) are attributed to the genus Pitus. Features of the wood, including ray size, are characteristic of the species Pitus withamii Lindley & Hutton which has long been described from the Strathclyde (former Oil-Shale) Group of Scotland. Decorticated axes of Eristophyton fasciculare are more common; their study has enlarged our concept of the species with regard to maximum diameter, internode length and phloem organisation. Similarly, the decorticated specimens of Bilignea solida Kidston found at East Kirkton exceed in diameter the original material described from Ayrshire. The fourth taxon is Stanwoodia recently described by Galtier and Scott (1991). In all these plants, features of leaf traces suggest that leaves were relatively large and densely borne on ultimate branches. These leaves were shed ultimately, prior to a later phase of wood development; they certainly correspond to (? most of) the compression foliage commonly found in association: Sphenopteridium, Adiantites and Spathulopteris.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe sediments on the floors of nine reservoirs in the Midland Valley of Scotland have been examined to establish rates of sedimentation and catchment sediment yields. Information from Cullaloe, Drumain, Harperleas and Lambieletham Reservoirs (Fife), is compared with data from Glenfarg and Glenquey Reservoirs (Tayside) and earlier studies on Hopes, N Esk (Lothian) and Kelly (Strathclyde) Reservoirs. The earth-fill dams were constructed between 1850 and 1935 below catchments ranging from 1·53 to 23·5 km2 in area. They are situated on sedimentary, volcanic or intrusive igneous rocks mainly of Devonian or Carboniferous age. In most areas bedrock is obscured by mantles of drift. Six of the catchments are dominated by moorland terrain with local afforestation. Mixed arable farming and woodland characterise the remainder. The higher basins receive on average over 1400 mm of precipitation per annum, while in the lower basins some 800 mm falls.Measurements of thickness variations of the deposits have enabled the construction of isopachyte maps from which the volumes of entrapped materials have been derived. The computed catchment sediment yields vary from 2·l t km−2 yr−1 (Lambieletham) to 52·0 t km−2 yr−1 (Glenfarg). Sediments incorporate both mineral and organic matter, of which combustible material commonly forms 15–20% by weight. Siliceous tests of diatoms are also an important component of the deposits. The sediment yields computed are about an order of magnitude greater than those reported from rivers draining similar sizes of catchment within the Forth basin. There is a direct relationship between mean annual inflow to the reservoirs and sediment yield.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to critically assess the historical and long-term performance of government-supported initiatives in economic regeneration within urban regions, with specific reference to two contrasting development models adopted in Lanarkshire, Scotland during the 1990’s: The Lanarkshire Enterprise Zone and the Strathclyde Business Park. This will evaluate economic outcomes from two different policy approaches in the shared conurbation space. The first is an “Enterprise Zone” a concept that represents national and local policy support for economic development within a specific area and is driven by government policy and money. The second, a “Business Park,” generally refers to single-use employment location by corporations that has been created for a unique set of operations, is based within a geographic context and has evolved from predominantly office, research or industry focused development goals. In addition, business parks are typically located away from urban city centers and are privately funded although the land might be publicly held. These two forms of property-led economic development strategies are common throughout the world, from Scotland to China, South Africa to the Midwest of the United States, from inner city Detroit to Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are popular policy initiatives, especially in developing countries, yet we do not have enough research on how these two initiatives work and what explains their different outcomes/impacts in both the short and long-term. The research makes use of two detailed case studies and sets of primary data, analyzes their relationship with the Greater Glasgow conurbation thereby providing in-depth accounts of the development and performance of these projects and critically, their continued results. The development and performance of the initiatives in the development of both the regional economy and co-development to the nearby Greater Glasgow economy is considered within the context of institutional approaches to economic and urban geography. (McPherson and McDonald, 2005) The unique distinctions both the Lanarkshire Enterprise Zone and Strathclyde Business Park possessed which differentiated them from their peers, alongside their ultimate results, especially in context to their implementations in relation to their urban geography, will also be discussed. The comparison is especially valuable as both are in the same Scottish Region which composed the Greater Glasgow urban area, so the data will enable a true compare/contrast evaluation.

Full text

Abstract:

UK research into the beneficial uses of dredged material is being undertaken at Strathclyde University, and includes initiatives in research in the use of dredgings for soil in land restoration projects, and for brick manufacture. Extensive research in the historically industrial River Clyde in Scotland has shown that pollutant levels do not preclude the use of selected materials for land restoration work. However, limitations are imposed on the use of the material for agricultural or grazing purposes at this time. Brick manufacture from clay sediments has proved that an attractive, quality product can be provided to the industry although some further testing is required; particularly in the area of atmospheric emissions during firing. The use of dredged clay for landfill capping and lining also remains a viable possibility. Economic considerations for each application vary, and require further investigation, however, the options are technically feasible and if employed on a larger scale, can account for a significant proportion of dredged sediments which are currently disposed of at sea.

Abstract:

The need to improve the relationship between schools and parents has been an increasing focus of public policy since the 1970s with a raft of legislation both in Scotland and in England and Wales designed to encourage parental rights and responsibilities. One development has been the involvement of parents as part of the inspection process of schools. This paper looks at the pioneering work on the Quality Assurance Unit of the Education Department of Strathclyde Regional Council before its demise in April 1996 through an analysis of parental questionnaires. The data gives a unique insight into how parents judge their children’s schools at the time of inspection and underlines the value of their contribution as quality assurers. The authors interpret the analysis in terms of a development model of parental involvement in schools resulting in an interactive partnership between parents and their children’s schools and recommend ways forward for the new education authorities.

Abstract:

SynopsisOnly two Scottish universities are directly involved in education in the food area. At Strathclyde students can read for a BSc with honours in Food Science, and for an MSc in Food Science and Microbiology. At Heriot-Watt students can read for a BSc in Brewing, a BSc with honours in Brewing and Microbiology or Biochemistry, and for an MSc in Brewing. Food education in the universities is almost entirely dependent on UGC funding, and sponsorship is rare except for students from overseas. The food industry in Britain has a poor record for supporting university education. In recent years the centralisation of the activities of large manufacturing companies in the South has reduced career prospects for graduates in Scotland. Although few in number, the staff at Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt have earned a high reputation for their research, ranging from basic to applied studies. A significant proportion of doctoral students are from overseas countries, as are most MSc students. Funding for research has always been difficult, except for support from the brewing and distilling industries. However, moves to reorganise and rationalise publicly funded support for R & D in the food and drinks industry are beginning to have an effect, and in some respects the prospects for university food research have never been brighter. There are, however, several unsatisfactory aspects in this situation. Current government policy is to cut-back university funding to the detriment, inter alia, of staffing for food science, thereby restricting the number of research supervisors in a declared area of national priority! This is also harmful in that staff can no longer handle small enquiries and problems from industry, so impairing relations which are already tenuous. Finally, inability to recruit replacement and new staff is preventing the universities from leading the way into new applications of molecular biology and biotechnology in foodstuffs.

Abstract:

Hip implants are common and diversified types of metals are used for hip implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “Toxicity of hip-implants”. All published articles related to “Toxicity of hip-implants” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the scientific literature regarding “Toxicity of hip-implants” and also to find out the trends related to the same.

Abstract:

In 1997, a Council in Scotland embarked upon a restructuring of its provision for secondary age pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD). In 1999, the Council commissioned researchers from the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Education, to undertake a study during school session 1998/99 with the aim of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of this new approach. The findings of the study were wide ranging but, in particular, evidence emerged to show that while no two schools organised provision in the same way, the establishment of in-school support bases was the dominant model. However, the rationale, organisation and effectiveness of provision varied considerably. It was also evident that the key departments at council level did not share the same degree of commitment in relation to the new initiative. There were also unresolved issues in respect of the empowerment of the professionals working in schools. Many of these issues are particularly relevant in the light of the Government’s New Community Schools initiative which embodies a multi-agency approach.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Mississippian Strathclyde Group of the Midland Valley of Scotland yields some of the earliest non-marine ostracods. The succession records shallow marine, deltaic, estuarine, lagoonal, lacustrine, fluvial and swamp environments representing a series of staging-posts between fully marine and limnetic settings. Macrofossils and ostracods are assigned to marine, marginal marine, brackish and freshwater environments based on their faunal assemblage patterns. Key brackish to freshwater ostracods are Geisina arcuata, Paraparchites circularis n. sp., Shemonaella ornata n. sp. and Silenites sp. A, associated with the bivalves Anthraconaia, Carbonicola, Cardiopteridium, Curvirimula, Naiadites, the microconchid ‘Spirorbis’, Spinicaudata and fish. Many Platycopina and Paraparchiticopina ostracods are interpreted as euryhaline, which corresponds with their occurrence in marine to coastal plain water bodies, and supports the ‘estuary effect’ hypothesis of non-marine colonization. The success of non-marine colonization by ostracods was dependent on the intrinsic adaptations of ostracod species to lower salinities, such as new reproductive strategies and the timing of extrinsic mechanisms to drive non-marine colonization, such as sea-level change. The genus Carbonita is the oldest and most common freshwater ostracod, and went on to dominate freshwater environments in the Late Palaeozoic.

Abstract:

Benzophenone was the first organic molecular material to be identified as polymorphic. It is well known that benzophenone crystallizes in a stable orthorhombic α-form (m.p. 321 K) with space group P212121 and a = 10.28, b = 12.12, c = 7.99 Å, [Girdwood (1998). Ph.D. thesis. Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland]. Here we report two separate structure determinations of the metastable β-form (m.p. 297–299 K). Crystalline material of the metastable polymorph was obtained from a melt supercooled to ∼243 K. The structure was determined from X-ray powder diffraction data by employing a novel, computational systematic search procedure to identify trial packing arrangements for subsequent refinement. Unit-cell and space-group information, determined from indexing the powder diffraction data, was used to define the search space. The structure was also determined from single-crystal diffraction data at room temperature and at 223 K. The metastable phase is monoclinic with space group C2/c and a = 16.22, b = 8.15, c = 16.33 Å, β = 112.91° (at 223 K). The structures derived from the individual techniques are qualitatively the same. They are compared both with each other and with the stable polymorph and other benzophenone derivatives.

Abstract:

As part of a long-term programme of research on historically documented fortifications, excavations were carried out in 1974--75 at Dumbarton Castle, anciently known as Alt Clut or Clyde Rock. These disproved the hypothesis that a nuclear fort, after the pattern of Dunadd or Dundurn, could be identified on the Rock, but revealed a timber-and-rubble defence of Early Historic date overlooking the isthmus which links the Rock to the mainland. Finds of especial interest include the northernmost examples of imported Mediterranean amphorae of the sixth century AD, and fragments from at least six glass vessels of Germanic manufacture. Discussion centres on early medieval harbour sites and trade in northern and western Britain. A detailed excavation record and finds catalogue is located on microfiche. Appendices include a `Gazetteer of coastal and inland sites, AD 450--850' (130--8), `The recovery rate of B1 amphora sherds' (138--9), and `Early medieval sculpture at Dumbarton' by John Higgitt (139--42).

Abstract:

Abstract As the UK takes a step towards a greener, cleaner future aiming to be net zero by 2050, continuous development of the power network is required. A clear solution is offshore wind, having already proved its feasibility and success in nearshore sites. However, a large majority of near shore sites in the UK are already being utilised. The next step is to move into deeper waters and utilise the stronger, more consistent wind resources. A solution could be floating offshore wind which is still in its infancy, with only a few operational floating wind farms installed. Building upon the multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimisation framework (MDAO) for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) being developed at the University of Strathclyde, called FEDORA, the aim of this work is to refine the LCoE model adopted by FEDORA, and applying it to perform the optimisation of the floating offshore OC3 SPAR. There is limited data on cost, therefore Hywind Scotland Pilot Park will be used as a basis for the LCoE model, allowing the results to be validated. This model is not restricted to SPARs, as it establishes a general methodology to calculate the life cycle cost of floating offshore wind farms. Utilising the improved cost model this work finds four optimised SPAR structures for four different maximum angles of inclination which can be experienced in the wind turbines operation. The improved cost model has a much higher accuracy, highlighting the initial cost model underestimates the cost of the SPAR structure by around half.

Abstract:

Young children are often ignored or marginalised in the drive to address children’s participation and their wider set of rights. This is the case generally in social research, as well as within the field of Arts-Based Education Research. This article contributes to the growing literature on young children’s involvement in arts-based research, by providing a reflective account of our learning and playful engagement with children using creative methods. This small pilot project forms part of a larger international project titled Look Who’s Talking: Eliciting the Voices of Children from Birth to Seven, led by Professor Kate Wall at the University of Strathclyde. Visiting one nursery in Scotland, we worked with approximately 30 children from 3 to 5 years old. Seeking to connect with their play-based nursery experiences, we invited children to participate in a range of arts-based activities including drawing, craft-making, sculpting, a themed ‘play basket’ with various props, puppetry and videography. In this article, we develop reflective, analytical stories of our successes and dilemmas in the project. We were keen to establish ways of working with children that centred their own creativity and play, shaped by the materials we provided but not directed by us. However, we struggled to balance our own agenda with the more open-ended methods we had used. We argue that an intergenerational approach to eliciting voice with young children – in which adults are not afraid to shape the agenda, but do so in responsive, gradual and sensitive ways – creates the potential for a more inclusive experience for children that also meets researcher needs.

Abstract:

AbstractA core of concrete taken from a major road bridge in the Strathclyde Region, Scotland, has been subjected to an applied mineralogical investigation, which involved stable isotope analysis, petrography, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.The structure is actively undergoing severe degradation due to mineral growth which is related to chemical reactions between the concrete and pore fluid. The physical growth of minerals causes disfigurement and structural weakening.Pyrite and pyrrhotine hosted by dolerite aggregate appear to have been oxidized, providing sulphate for the deposition of ettringite and minor gypsum, in spheroidal cavities within the cement paste. The rainwater which passes through the structure mobilising sulphate from original gypsum in the paste and oxidizing the iron sulphides is also involved in the further leaching of elements from the cement paste and in the deposition of calcite. The isotopic values of calcites forming a crust on the concrete and a stalactite under the bridge are similar with δ13C= −19‰ PDB and δ18‰= +16‰ SMOW. We suggest that atmospheric carbon dioxide was the carbon source. The carbon isotopic fractionation of −12‰ from atmospheric carbon dioxide of δ13C= −7‰, (O'Neil and Barnes, 1971) can best be explained as due to a kinetic fractionation related to the hyper-basicity of the pore water. The equilibrium formation temperature of about 45°C calculated from the oxygen isotope values and assuming a δ18O value of meteoric water of −8‰ SMOW, is considered unreasonable. The exceptionally low δ18O values are attributed mainly to reaction kinetics and the calcite inheriting its oxygen, two-thirds from atmospheric carbon dioxide and one third from the meteoric formation water (O'Neil and Barnes, 1971). A δ18O value of atmospheric carbon dioxide of +41‰ SMOW and a δ18O value of meteoric water of −8‰ SMOW, lead to a calculated δ18O value for the calcites of +10‰ SMOW. The calcites analysed have a value of +16‰ and this may be due to partial re-equilibration towards a calculated value of +21‰ for calcite in equilibrium with the meteoric water at 20°C.

Abstract:

IntroductionRecent evidence suggests an underlying movement disruption may be a core component of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a new, accessible early biomarker. Mobile smart technologies such as iPads contain inertial movement and touch screen sensors capable of recording subsecond movement patterns during gameplay. A previous pilot study employed machine learning analysis of motor patterns recorded from children 3–5 years old. It identified those with ASD from age-matched and gender-matched controls with 93% accuracy, presenting an attractive assessment method suitable for use in the home, clinic or classroom.Methods and analysisThis is a phase III prospective, diagnostic classification study designed according to the Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies guidelines. Three cohorts are investigated: children typically developing (TD); children with a clinical diagnosis of ASD and children with a diagnosis of another neurodevelopmental disorder (OND) that is not ASD. The study will be completed in Glasgow, UK and Gothenburg, Sweden. The recruitment target is 760 children (280 TD, 280 ASD and 200 OND). Children play two games on the iPad then a third party data acquisition and analysis algorithm (Play.Care, Harimata) will classify the data as positively or negatively associated with ASD. The results are blind until data collection is complete, when the algorithm’s classification will be compared against medical diagnosis. Furthermore, parents of participants in the ASD and OND groups will complete three questionnaires: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire; Early Symptomatic Syndromes Eliciting Neurodevelopmental Clinical Examinations Questionnaire and the Adaptive Behavioural Assessment System-3 or Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II. The primary outcome measure is sensitivity and specificity of Play.Care to differentiate ASD children from TD children. Secondary outcomes measures include the accuracy of Play.Care to differentiate ASD children from OND children.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the West of Scotland Research Ethics Service Committee 3 and the University of Strathclyde Ethics Committee. Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications and at international scientific conferences.Trial registration numberNCT03438994

Abstract:

In most member states of the European Union a major failing of the innovation system is that inventions generated at universities and other higher education institutes are too rarely commercialized by the creation of new, innovative firms. One reason for this can be found in the accumulation of obstacles that prevent academic researchers with a technology-based business idea from setting up their own company. Such obstacles include a lack of knowledge in business management and negotiation skills, the unknown market potential of products and services, high financial risks and the widespread fear of failure. In this article a new and innovative support scheme is described, based on the concept of ‘pre-incubation’ and set up by the Institute for Innovation Transfer at the University of Bielefeld. The core of the concept is a university-associated facility, the pre-incubator, which is a new device for managing the spin-off process. The innovative feature of the pre-incubator is a specific management, legal and insurance structure that allows academic researchers to test the feasibility of their business ideas before they take the risk of setting up a company. The legal entity of the pre-incubator forms an umbrella under which potential entrepreneurs, guided and controlled by the management staff, can test their products on the market, thus gaining valuable business experience. This experience, in addition to continuous training and coaching, is expected to increase the sustainability of the future company. In addition the article outlines how the concept of pre-incubation is currently implemented at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia in Spain and the Ecole Polytechnique in France within the framework of the EC-funded innovation project USINE (University Start-up of International Entrepreneurs). An analysis from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, which monitors the transfer process of the pre-incubation scheme within the project, concludes the article by identifying the features of the pre-incubator that set it apart from other tried and tested mechanisms. The adaptability of the model to different national contexts is also discussed, as are the benefits and costs to stakeholders and the ways in which they can measure ‘success’.

The theory of transition matrices is well established, but to date has had only limited application in simulating weather conditions for offshore operations. This paper describes a technique developed at Scotland's University of Strathclyde for modeling the weather and its effects on offshore support activities in the northern zone of the North Sea. A significant conclusion of the study is that in order to provide useful transition matrices, a large quantity of reliable data gathered over a considerable period of time is required.
