Swimming against the tides of time
Article Abstract:
Despite the rapid growth of the tourism and leisure industry in Britain, there has been little investment in English seaside towns. An initiative led by East Yorkshire Borough Council to regenerate seafront structures in Bridlington is one example of good planning practice. Consultants found major defects in seafront buildings in 1992 and large areas of the promenade were condemned. By using multi-disciplinary teams of in-house professionals and through constant consultation with the local community, the borough council embarked on a three year renewal programme and the area is expected to be rebuilt by April 1996.

Using DOE to determine AA battery life: remote-control model-car enthusiasts conduct an experiment
Article Abstract:
A design-of-experiments (DOE) approach has been used in an experiment designed to assess the validity of practices used by remote-control model-car racing enthusiasts to improve battery-life performance through the use of modern statistical methodologies. It was established that expensive batteries have a longer life than cheap ones. However, there was no strong evidence to support the view that using gold-plated connectors or storing batteries at low temperatures improves battery life.
