This practical book enables those already practicing or joining social work to consider the various ways that people can be supported to live well with dementia. Areas focused on include how the personalisation agenda is changing services through self-directed support, re-enablement and telecare, how risk can be managed while choice and independence are maintained, and how safeguarding of people with dementia can be positively practiced. The authors present information on essential new developments in the field of dementia care including changes in legislation and Government policy as well as...

Infrastructure development and maintenance is vital for a country's economy but the delivery of projects is becoming ever more challenging because of the economic and legislative environment. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the management of infrastructure projects, from project appraisal to supply chain to implementing practices. The authors incorporate contemporary approaches to project management and provide more linkage between techniques, risk, agile approaches and integrated supply chains, making this a comprehensive reference for students on infrastructure focussed...

This book describes our package of interactive computer models that simulate the way filamentous fungal hyphae grow in three-dimensional space. We call it the Neighbour-Sensing mathematical model of hyphal growth. This three-dimensional mathematical model of hyphal growth was developed to study the morphogenesis of fungal hyphal networks. The apps that make up the modelling program allow the user to change the intimate characteristics of the growing cyberfungus. Aspects like the amount of branching, angle of branching and whether cyberhyphal threads stay together or grow apart (among several...

In the latter half of the 1990s, and into the first couple of years of the new millennium, we carried out some ground-breaking research into communication within mushroom fruit bodies by chemical signals. Because we were hoping to commercialise the research, the work was never published beyond initial patent applications, which have since lapsed. We believed at the time that we had accessed at least some of the controls of fungal morphogenesis by extracting compounds which caused mushroom stipes to bend at the point of application within hours of treatment. Using standardised bioassays, we...
