    Notes: The effects of spatial location of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) within a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)/white clover pasture on stolon and petiole extension were investigated in two experiments, where patch size containing white clover (0·5 m, 1·5 m and 4 m diameter), location within the patch (inside and edge) and cutting height (4 cm and 8 cm) were varied. Stolon extension rate was greater on the edge of a patch (12·1 mm week−1) than inside the patch (7·2 mm week−1). Patch size affected both stolon and petiole extension rate, which were both greater in small and medium-sized than in large patches. It is suggested that the fastest spread of white clover in patchy sward environments should occur from small patches, which could double in diameter during a growing season. Manipulating the heights of vegetation within and outside large patches affected light quality (red-far red; R/FR) at ground level, which was greater under shorter than taller swards and greater under the canopy of the grass matrix than the grass/white clover patch. However, the height differences between adjacent vegetation had little effect on stolon or petiole growth. In May only, stolon extension at the patch boundary was greatest when both patches and the grass matrix had a height of 8 cm.

    Improving safety behaviour using goal setting and feedback (1995)

    Notes: Describes the development and effects of behaviourally-basedmanagement techniques in improving construction site safety. In phaseone, goal-setting and feedback methods were developed and tested on sixsites in the North West of England. A 40-week longitudinal researchdesign was adopted in which measures of safety performance were takenbefore, during and after the application of these methods. The measuresincluded four categories of measurement: access to heights; sitehousekeeping (site tidiness); scaffolding; and use of personalprotective equipment (PPE) - with PPE used as a control. Theresults showed that: safety behaviour can be objectively and reliablymeasured; goal setting and feedback can produce large improvements insafety performance; the commitment of site management appears to enhancetheir effectiveness. Eleven major contractors have provided us with 22sites which are participating, or have participated, in a largerfollow-up study that aims to assess whether contractors are able toimplement these techniques themselves. Early results are highlyencouraging, though analysis indicates that the mechanism by which theintervention influences behaviour is less direct than classicalgoal-setting theory would suggest.

    Children's drinks - what children really think (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Nutrition & food science 99 (1999), S. 136-139

    Notes: This paper discusses the findings of a market research programme carried out by SMRC ChildWise on behalf of Tetra Pak UK Ltd, examining use of and attitudes to soft drinks among children and mothers. This is a product field of increasing interest to children as they grow, and their appreciation develops from being totally product-focused, to include packaging and then brand considerations. The research examined behaviour across the key drinking occasions that make up the child's day, looking in detail at drinks consumed at school. It is at school that a child's freedom of choice develops, and awareness of peer group influences becomes increasingly important. Children are highly receptive to new brands and flavours, but also demand professional packaging and promotional input for brands to be credible. Younger children appreciate having their own individual carton with a straw but, for older boys, a can is preferred, whilst girls like the practicalities of resealable bottles.
