Paradigms of family medicine: bridging traditions with new concepts; meeting the challenge of being the good doctor from 2011
This is the paper for the Wes Fabb Oration for the WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference 2011. This paper will review the case for the important role of the family physician/general practitioner in worldwide health care as determined by the WHO. The importance of continuing care is highlighted. The features of a good doctor will be defined and the process of meeting this challenge for excellence of care is presented

JISC funded Kaptur project environmental assessment report
The overall objective of the JISC funded Kaptur project (October 2011 - March 2013) is to discover, create and pilot a sectoral model of best practice in the management of research data in the visual arts. This report outlines findings from the first workpackage, environmental assessment, based on the following research question: What is the nature of visual arts research data? Appendix A provides detail on the methodology; data was gathered from a literature review and 16 face-to-face interviews with visual arts researchers; four at each partner institution: Glasgow School of Art; Goldsmiths, University of London; University for the Creative Arts; and University of the Arts London

Modelling and Simulation of the Power Take-Off System for a Hinge-Barge Wave-Energy Converter
The McCabe Wave Pump (MWP) has possibilities
for the conversion of wave energy into electrical
energy and the production of potable water. However,
in order to optimise the dynamics and operation
of this device in the face of a wide variety
of sea conditions, a number of important control
issues must be addressed. The first step, which is
addressed in this paper, is the production of a dynamical
model of the MWP, which can provide a
basis for both control design and simulation. Since
the power take-off (PTO) system provides the main
damping in the system, the paper places particular
emphasis on the PTO model and how it couples
to the main rig dynamics. The control problem
formulation is also briefly addressed
