Gambling: Towards a sociological analysis of action and interaction in the betting shop environment.
The topic I chose for this study was gambling. There were two main reasons for this: The first was through a personal interest of my own in the area. The introduction to gambling came through an interest in horse racing. On being brought to the races as a child I was always fascinated by the …

An evaluation of scheduling policies in a dual resource constrained assembly shop
Research in job shop scheduling has concentrated on sequencing simple, single component jobs that require no coordination of multiple parts for assembly. However, since most jobs in reality involve some assembly work, scheduling multiple component jobs through an assembly shop, where both serial …
