description: PURPOSE: We estimated the cost-effectiveness of 4 radiotherapy modalities to treat early breast cancer in the UK. In a subgroup of patients eligible for all modalities, we compared whole-breast (WB) and partial breast (PB) radiotherapy delivered in either 15 (WB15F, PB15F) or 5 fractions (WB5F, PB5F). In a subgroup ineligible for PB radiotherapy, we compared WB15F to WB5F. METHODS: We developed a Markov cohort model to simulate lifetime healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for each modality. This was informed by the clinical analysis of two non-inferiority trials (FAST Forward and IMPORT LOW) and supplemented with external literature. The primary analysis assumed that radiotherapy modality influences health only through its impact on locoregional recurrence and radiotherapy-related adverse events. RESULTS: In the primary analysis, PB5F had the least cost and greatest expected QALYs. WB5F had the least cost and the greatest expected QALYs in those only eligible for WB radiotherapy. Applying a cost-effectiveness threshold of £15,000/QALY, there was a 62% chance that PB5F was the cost-effective alternative in the PB eligible group, and there was a 100% chance that WB5F was cost-effective in the subgroup ineligible for PB radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Hypofractionation to 5 fractions and partial breast radiotherapy modalities offer potentially important benefits to the UK health system.
Relational Spaces of Innovation in Architecture Firms, 2007

Publisher: name: UK Data Service

description: What are the forms and geographies of the relational spaces of innovation in leading global architecture firms? A British Academy funded research project sought to answer this question and had the following objectives: to map and explore the multiple, scale transcending, networks and circuits of social practice informing innovation in global architecture firms; to provide empirical exposition of these social practices; and to examine the processes of embedding ideas in local contexts.

 Semi-structured interviews were conducted with architects working for global firms in London, Paris, San Francisco, New York and Tokyo. Interviews were also conducted with representatives from architectural professional associations based in the same five cities. Interviews revealed the practices and experiences of individuals involved in innovation and the intricacies of the local embedding of innovations. In particular the interviews offer insights into the complex ecologies of innovation that architects inhabit and the multiple actor-networks that put the designs of global firms in their place.
Being a Doctor: a Sociological Analysis, 2005-2006
Creators: name: Nettleton, S.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2009

description: Amongst members of the medical profession there has been much discussion in recent years about the nature and content of medical work and the appropriate role that doctors should play in contemporary health and social care. There has even been a suggestion that there needs to be a ‘cultural revolution’ in medicine. High profile public inquiries, media attention and a more consumer orientated culture are some of the factors that have contributed to this. This project investigated the views and day to day experiences of medical clinicians and examined how they are being shaped by ongoing social, policy, organisational and technological transformations.

 Being a Doctor: a Sociological Analysis, 2005-2006 was an exploratory study which aimed to develop a sociological understanding of the views and experiences of doctors working within the National Health Service (NHS). The research questions that guided the study were: what do doctors who work day in and day out delivering patient care in hospitals, health centres and clinics make of changes to health care? Are they aware of these calls for changes to their practice and values? Do contemporary developments affect how they feel about themselves?

 Qualitative interviews were carried out with 52 doctors from NHS health care settings who varied in terms of medial specialities, age, gender, ethnicity, seniority, and locality. Forty-seven doctors (28 men and 19 women) who were working in hospital settings in the North of England and 5 (4 men and 1 woman) who were working in general practice were interviewed. Users should note that the UKDA collection contains only 50 interview transcripts.

Young Consumers Study, 2002-2004
Consuming Identities: Young People, Cultural Forms and Negotiations in Households
Creators: name: Phoenix, A.
name: Griffin, C.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2010

description: This is a qualitative data collection.
 The project fell into three stages: based in schools, households and related to young people’s specific cultural practices around consumption.

 Stage 1 provided information on young people’s consumption patterns and practices, sources of income and meanings of consumption in relation to specific products and practices. It involved two elements: the completion of semi-structured self-completion questionnaires by pupils in Year 8 (aged 12-13) and Year 12 (aged 16-17); and a series of focus group discussions with young people in all participating schools. The quantitative data is not available from the UK Data Archive.

 Stage 2 involved individual and joint interviews with young people and their parents, from urban areas (Birmingham and Milton Keynes) and semi-rural locations. The family interviews focused on different accounts of negotiations over money and other household resources, pocket money, payment for housework and so on. The study also considered family involvement in particular consumption practices (e.g. 'shopping with mum') from the perspectives of young people and their parents.

 Building on initial analyses of material from stages 1 and 2, stage 3 involved ethnographic observational case studies of young people in specific contexts involved in a range of cultural practices related to consumption. These were selected to include both young women and men in urban and semi-rural areas from a range of social class and ethnic backgrounds, and from both age groups.

Shifting Securities: Television News Cultures Before and After the Iraq War, 2003-2005
Shifting Securities: News Cultures Before and Beyond the Iraq Crisis 2003
Creators: name: Gillespie, M.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2009

description: This qualitative dataset examines changing relationships between government, media and multicultural publics in the UK.

 The Iraq War 2003 and subsequent events raise questions about the impact of security policy on civil liberties and human rights, democratic participation and citizenship, racialisation and securitization.

 Through the analysis of "security salient discourse", the study sought to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of an increasingly mediated democracy. Specifically, the project examines how changing practices of news production in an increasingly competitive transnational news environment affect the quality of political journalism and judgements about the legitimacy, credibility, ethics and salience of "security" policy. It connects and articulates the empirical study of news audiences; analyses events and news stories defined as "security salient" by audiences and the judgements of media and political professionals about the stories and the political-media-security nexus.

 In depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted in 175 interviews and focus groups with news audiences and citizens living in socially and culturally diverse milieu across the British Isles and New York, USA to assess shifting senses of social and national (in)security in relation to specific events, such as the London bombings of July 7, 2005. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were undertaken with news makers and producers, government, military and security policymakers, and security experts. They were interviewed about the mediation of those events, addressing issues raised in the audience research.

description: Baryon resonance production in proton-proton collisions at a kinetic beam energy of 1.25 GeV is investigated. The multi-differential data were measured by the HADES collaboration. Exclusive channels with one pion in the final state ($npπ^{+}$ and $ppπ^{0}$) were put to extended studies based on various observables in the framework of a one-pion exchange model and with solutions obtained within the framework of a partial wave analysis (PWA) of the Bonn-Gatchina group. The results of the PWA confirm the dominant contribution of the $Δ$(1232), yet with a sizable impact of the $N$(1440) and non-resonant partial waves.

description: The aim of the study was to seek the origins of linguistic change in London's complex social mix, thus gaining a critical understanding of levelling in Britain. London is said to be the source of linguistic innovation in Britain in pronunciation and grammar. Socio-linguistic research in the southeast has been centred outside London, and has noted dialect levelling (homogenisation). An untested assumption has been that the new features observed have been diffusing from London. However, until this project, London had not been subject to systematic socio-linguistic investigation on a substantial scale.

 The study takes account of (1) London's multilingualism; (2) linguistic innovation in adolescence; (3) the effect of a 'multi-racial vernacular' among young Londoners on mainstream speech; and (4) differences in ethnic make-up, mobility and networks between inner and outer London, resulting in differences in capacity to innovate and spread linguistic features. The study sampled 102 16-19 year olds and 19 speakers in their 70s and 80s in two boroughs (Hackney and Havering), using quantitative and qualitative methods to find explanations for their speech patterns (only qualitative data has been deposited).

description: The resolvent Krylov subspace method builds approximations to operator functions $f(A)$ times a vector $v$. For the semigroup and related operator functions, this method is proved to possess the favorable property that the convergence is automatically faster when the vector $v$ is smoother. The user of the method does not need to know the presented theory and alterations of the method are not necessary in order to adapt to the (possibly unknown) smoothness of $v$. The findings are illustrated by numerical experiments.

description: AbstractWe present the magnetic, structural and 57Fe Mossbauer characterization of soils collected from an ancient mercury contaminated city named Huancavelica in Peru. The characterization results indicate that silicates and carbonates are the main mineralogical constituents in the samples. In addition, 57Fe Mössbauer spectra at room temperature reveal, the presence of two components: a magnetic component related to magnetic Fe-oxides (magnetite, hematite, goethite) and a high non-magnetic component related to Fe+3 in high spin configuration and tetrahedral coordination in silicates. The magnetization measurements present screening of paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic signals, typical from soils containing different silicates and iron minerals. Remarkably the Verwey and Morin transitions corresponding to magnetite and hematite, respectively, are screened by the paramagnetic signal corresponding to the major silicate components in the samples. Overall, the soils are mainly composed of crystalline and amorphous silicates, calcites and iron bearing which are typical from Andean soils.

description: Background The purpose of this study was to explore whether a sense of collective or shared group identity was developed in one established online social support group for family caregivers and, if so, what did group identification mean for the group members and how was this cultivated in the group.Methods Eighteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with members of a family caregiver online support group in Ireland. Inductive and deductive reflexive thematic analysis drawing on the social identity approach (SIA) generated four main themes and several related subthemes.Results The first main theme generated was The group are a Tribe and the Tribe gets it, with subthemes: Invisibility as a common experience, my Tribe understands I am more than just a carer and Just being part of the Tribe can be enough. The second main theme generated was the Tribe is a lifeline and life-changing, with related subthemes: Our connection relieves experiences of loneliness and social isolation and Sharing knowledge, experience and support made me feel visible. The third and fourth main themes generated were The leadership of group moderators helped create the Tribe identity and Lessons that can be learnt. These findings are discussed in relation to the social identity approach, social isolation and loneliness.Conclusions We concluded that group identity can be cultivated through considered, active and balanced moderation, creating a safe, welcoming and supportive space where family caregivers are able to have fun and seek information, advice and emotional support, which helps relieve loneliness and social isolation.

description: Advances in synthetic biology allow us to engineer bacterial collectives with pre-specified characteristics. However, the behavior of these collectives is difficult to understand, as cellular growth and division as well as extra-cellular fluid flow lead to complex, changing arrangements of cells within the population. To rationally engineer and control the behavior of cell collectives we need theoretical and computational tools to understand their emergent spatiotemporal dynamics. Here, we present an agent-based model that allows growing cells to detect and respond to mechanical interactions. Crucially, our model couples the dynamics of cell growth to the cell's environment: Mechanical constraints can affect cellular growth rate and a cell may alter its behavior in response to these constraints. This coupling links the mechanical forces that influence cell growth and emergent behaviors in cell assemblies. We illustrate our approach by showing how mechanical interactions can impact the dynamics of bacterial collectives growing in microfluidic traps.

description: Graphene-based electromechanical resonators have attracted much interest recently because of the outstanding mechanical and electrical properties of graphene and their various applications. However, the coupling between mechanical motion and charge transport has not been explored in graphene. Here, we studied the mechanical properties of a suspended 50-nm-wide graphene nanoribbon, which also acts as a single-electron transistor (SET) at low temperature. Using the SET as a sensitive detector, we found that the resonance frequency could be tuned from 82 MHz to 100 MHz and the quality factor exceeded 30000. The strong charge-mechanical coupling was demonstrated by observing the SET induced ~140 kHz resonance frequency shifts and mechanical damping. We also found that the SET can enhance the nonlinearity of the resonator. Our SET-coupled graphene mechanical resonator could approach an ultra-sensitive mass resolution of ~0.55*10^(-21) g and a force sensitivity of ~1.9*10^(-19) N/(Hz)^(1/2), and can be further improved. These properties indicate that our device is a good platform both for fundamental physical studies and potential applications.

description: A generalized version for the Rastall theory is proposed showing the agreement with the cosmic accelerating expansion. In this regard, a coupling between geometry and the pressureless matter fields is derived which may play the role of dark energy responsible for the current accelerating expansion phase. Moreover, our study also shows that the radiation field may not be coupled to the geometry in a non-minimal way which represents that the ordinary energy-momentum conservation law is respected by the radiation source. It is also shown that the primary inflationary era may be justified by the ability of the geometry to couple to the energy-momentum source in an empty flat FRW universe. In fact, this ability is independent of the existence of the energy-momentum source and may compel the empty flat FRW universe to expand exponentially. Finally, we consider a flat FRW universe field by a spatially homogeneous scalar field evolving in potential $\mathcal{V}(ϕ)$, and study the results of applying the slow-roll approximation to the system which may lead to an inflationary phase for the universe expansion.

description: Children Creating Kinship, 2004-2006 explores how children create kinship in their everyday lives. The aim of the study was to examine the range of relationships which matter to children and ask how children experience, shape and give meaning to these relationships.

 Relationships with parents and friends are often seen as most significant in children's lives. However, relationships (both past and present) with others such as relatives, carers, neighbours, pets, mentors, teachers and professionals may also be very important and meaningful to children. Therefore, in this study, kinship has been defined broadly, fluidly and from the perspectives of children themselves. In exploring how children create kinship with others, the study focuses not only on children's attitudes to kin relationships, but also on the kinship practices in their everyday lives. Special interest was given to how children are active participants in family life and in the ways they are involved in building and maintaining relationships. The focus on everyday kinship practices seeks to recognise that kinship is negotiated both through daily, ordinary activities as well as during the more unusual events (such as family change) which are also woven into everyday experience.

 The study available from the UKDA comprises semi-structured interviews with 41 children. Photographs and drawings by the children which formed part of the interviews are not available. All names and places have been anonymised. Users should note that access to the data files are subject to permission being granted by the depositor (see Access section below).

description: Modern autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have advanced sensing capabilities including sonar, cameras, acoustic communication, and diverse bio-sensors. Instead of just sensing its environment and storing the data for post-Mission inspection, an AUV could use the collected information to gain an understanding of its environment, and based on this understanding autonomously adapt its behavior to enhance the overall effectiveness of its mission. Many such tasks are highly computation intensive. This paper presents the results of a case study that illustrates the effectiveness of an energy-aware, many-core computing architecture to perform on-board path planning within a batteryoperated AUV. A previously published path planning algorithm was ported onto the SCC, an experimental 48 core single-chip system developed by Intel. The performance, power, and energy consumption of the application were measured for different numbers of cores and other system parameters. This case study shows that computation intensive tasks can be executed within an AUV that relies mainly on battery power. Future plans include the deployment and testing of an SCC system within a Teledyne Webb Research Slocum glider.

description: Coulomb interaction between two closely spaced parallel layers of electron system can generate the frictional drag effect by interlayer Coulomb scattering. Employing graphene double layers separated by few layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), we investigate density tunable magneto- and Hall-drag under strong magnetic fields. The observed large magneto-drag and Hall-drag signals can be related with Laudau level (LL) filling status of the drive and drag layers. We find that the sign and magnitude of the magneto- and Hall-drag resistivity tensor can be quantitatively correlated to the variation of magneto-resistivity tensors in the drive and drag layers, confirming a theoretical formula for magneto-drag in the quantum Hall regime. The observed weak temperature dependence and $\sim B^2$ dependence of the magneto-drag are qualitatively explained by Coulomb scattering phase-space argument.

description: This paper covers calculation of radial distribution functions, specific energy and static electrical conductivity of CH$_2$ plasma in the two-temperature regime. The calculation is based on the quantum molecular dynamics, density functional theory and the Kubo-Greenwood formula. The properties are computed at 5 kK $\le$ $T_i$ $\le$ $T_e$ $\le$ 40 kK and ρ= 0.954 g/cm$^3$ and depend severely on the presence of chemical bonds in the system. Chemical compounds exist at the lowest temperature $T_i$ = $T_e$ = 5 kK considered; they are destroyed rapidly at the growth of $T_i$ and slower at the increase of $T_e$. A significant number of bonds are present in the system at 5 kK $\le$ $T_i$ $\le$ $T_e$ $\le$ 10 kK. The destruction of bonds correlates with the growth of specific energy and static electrical conductivity under these conditions.

description: A key challenge for sustainable intensification of agriculture is to produce increasing amounts of food with less negative environmental impacts. The main goal of SOFT (Steering Organic Farming Transition) is to understand the role of soil biodiversity and networks for a sustainable farming, and the potential use of soil inoculation for soil regeneration. For this, I will use a chronosequence of farmers’ fields throughout The Netherlands that have been converted from conventional to organic farming. Taken together, SOFT will contribute to establish management practices that may help accelerate the transition from conventional farming to a more organic type of farming.

description: The composition of web services is a promising approach enabling flexible and loose integration of business applications. Numerous approaches related to web services composition have been developed usually following three main phases: the service discovery is based on the semantic description of advertised services, i.e. the functionality of the service, meanwhile the service selection is based on non- functional quality dimensions of service, and finally the service composition aims to support an underlying process. Most of those approaches explore techniques of static or dynamic design for an optimal service composition. One important aspect so far is mostly neglected, focusing on the output produced of composite web services. In this paper, in contrast to many prominent approaches we introduce a data quality perspective on web services. Based on a data quality management approach, we propose a framework for analyzing data produced by the composite service execution. Utilising process information together with data in service logs, our approach allows identifying problems in service composition and execution. Analyzing the service execution history our approach helps to improve common approaches of service selection and composition.

description: Optimal input design is an important step of the identification process in order to reduce the model variance. In this work a D-optimal input design method for finite-impulse-response-type nonlinear systems is presented. The optimization of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix is expressed as a convex optimization problem. This problem is then solved using a dispersion-based optimization scheme, which is easy to implement and converges monotonically to the optimal solution. Without constraints, the optimal design cannot be realized as a time sequence. By imposing that the design should lie in the subspace described by a symmetric and non-overlapping set, a realizable design is found. A graph-based method is used in order to find a time sequence that realizes this optimal constrained design. These methods are illustrated on a numerical example of which the results are thoroughly discussed. Additionally the computational speed of the algorithm is compared with the general convex optimizer cvx.

description: We use an empirical tight-binding approach to calculate electron and hole states in [111]-grown PbSe nanowires. We show that the valley-orbit and spin-orbit splittings are very sensitive to the atomic arrangement within the nanowire elementary cell and differ for [111]-nanowires with microscopic $D_{3d}$, $C_{2h}$ and $D_{3}$ symmetries. For the nanowire diameter below 4 nm the valley-orbit splittings become comparable with the confinement energies and the $\boldsymbol{k}\cdot\boldsymbol{p}$ method is inapplicable. Nanowires with the $D_{3}$ point symmetry having no inversion center exhibit giant spin splitting $E = αk_z$, linear in one-dimensional wave vector $k_z$, with the constant $α$ up to 1 eV$\cdot$Å.

description: The sustained and cost-effective monitoring of the water quality within European coastal areas is of growing importance in view of the upcoming European marine and maritime directives, i.e. the increased industrial use of the marine environment. Such monitoring needs mechanisms/systems to detect the water quality in a large sea area at different depths in real time. This paper presents a system for the automated detection and analysis of water quality parameters using an autonomous underwater vehicle. The analysis of discharge of nitrate into Norwegian fjords near aqua farms is one of the main application fields of this AUV system. As carrier platform the AUV "CWolf" from the Fraunhofer IOSB-AST will be used, which is perfectly suited through its modular payload concept. The mission Task and the integration of the payload unit which includes the sensor module, the scientific and measurement computer in the AUV carrier platform will be described. Few practice oriented information about the software and interface concept, the function of the several software modules and the test platform with the several test levels to test every module will be discussed.

description: Performance evaluation is a key issue for designers and users of Database Management Systems (DBMSs). Performance is generally assessed with software benchmarks that help, e.g., test architectural choices, compare different technologies or tune a system. In the particular context of data warehousing and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), although the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) aims at issuing standard decision-support benchmarks, few benchmarks do actually exist. We present in this chapter the Data Warehouse Engineering Benchmark (DWEB), which allows generating various ad-hoc synthetic data warehouses and workloads. DWEB is fully parameterized to fulfill various data warehouse design needs. However, two levels of parameterization keep it relatively easy to tune. We also expand on our previous work on DWEB by presenting its new Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) feature as well as its new execution protocol. A Java implementation of DWEB is freely available on-line, which can be interfaced with most existing relational DMBSs. To the best of our knowledge, DWEB is the only easily available, up-to-date benchmark for data warehouses.

description: With XML becoming a standard for business information representation and exchange, stor-ing, indexing, and querying XML documents have rapidly become major issues in database research. In this context, query processing and optimization are primordial, native-XML data-bases not being mature yet. Data structures such as indices, which help enhance performances substantially, are extensively researched, especially since XML data bear numerous specifici-ties with respect to relational data. In this paper, we survey state-of-the-art XML indices and discuss the main issues, tradeoffs and future trends in XML indexing. We also present an in-dex that we specifically designed for the particular architecture of XML data warehouses.
Branded Consumption and Social Identification: Young People and Alcohol Study, 2006-2007
Creators: name: Griffin, C.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 2009

description: This qualitative dataset examines young people's relationship with alcohol and drinking practices.

 The study investigated the meanings that young people associate with drinking and how contemporary forms of alcohol marketing operate to constitute alcohol brands as discursive resources that young people can draw on.

 The project examined: (a) the role that branding and marketing practices play in shaping young adults' identity practices around alcohol and the meanings that they associate with alcohol consumption; (b) how young people's drinking practices and the meanings they associated with alcohol consumption differed in three geographical contexts: a major metropolitan conurbation in the West Midlands, a smaller semi-rural market town and a seaside location in the West Country; (c) how alcohol-related practices are organised around gender, class and/or ethnicity; (d) the role that drinking stories and other collective cultural practices (e.g. drinking games) play in the constitution of young adults' social and personal identities.

No evidence for feedback: Unexceptional Low-ionization winds in Host galaxies of Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei at Redshift z ~1

description: We study winds in 12 X-ray AGN host galaxies at z ~ 1. We find, using the low-ionization Fe II 2586 absorption in the stacked spectra, that the probability distribution function (PDF) of the centroid velocity shift in AGN has a median, 16th and 84th percentiles of (-87, -251, +86) km/s respectively. The PDF of the velocity dispersion in AGN has a median, 84th and 16th percentile of (139, 253, 52) km/s respectively. The centroid velocity and the velocity dispersions are obtained from a two component (ISM+wind) absorption line model. The equivalent width PDF of the outflow in AGN has median, 84th and 16th percentiles of (0.4, 0.8, 0.1) Angstrom. There is a strong ISM component in Fe II 2586 absorption with (1.2, 1.5, 0.8) Angstrom, implying presence of substantial amount cold gas in the host galaxies. For comparison, star-forming and X-ray undetected galaxies at a similar redshift, matched roughly in stellar mass and galaxy inclination, have a centroid velocity PDF with percentiles of (-74, -258, +90) km/s, and a velocity dispersion PDF percentiles of (150, 259, 57) km/s. Thus, winds in the AGN are similar to star-formation-driven winds, and are too weak to escape and expel substantial cool gas from galaxies. Our sample doubles the previous sample of AGN studied at z ~ 0.5 and extends the analysis to z ~ 1. A joint reanalysis of the z ~ 0.5 AGN sample and our sample yields consistent results to the measurements above.

On the free path length distribution for linear motion in an n-dimensional box

Year: 2017

description: We consider the distribution of free path lengths, or the distance between consecutive bounces of random particles, in an n-dimensional rectangular box. If each particle travels a distance R, then, as R tends to infinity the free path lengths coincides with the distribution of the length of the intersection of a random line with the box (for a natural ensemble of random lines) and we give an explicit formula (piecewise real analytic) for the probability density function in dimension two and three. In dimension two we also consider a closely related model where each particle is allowed to bounce N times, as N tends to infinity, and give an explicit (again piecewise real analytic) formula for its probability density function. Further, in both models we can recover the side lengths of the box from the location of the discontinuities of the probability density functions.

description: We perform the high-performance computation of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the pyrochlore lattice. We determine the critical temperature accurately based on the finite-size scaling of the Binder ratio. Comparing with the data on the simple cubic lattice, we argue the universal finite-size scaling. We also calculate the classical XY model and the classical Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice.

description: This is a mixed methods data collection.

 The Boomers and Beyond: Intergenerational Consumption and the Mature Imagination  project focused on the consumption practices of the first wave 'baby boom' generation (born 1945-1954). This group, representing 17% of the UK population, began their life at a time of austerity but entered adulthood during a period of relative prosperity, experiencing major changes over their life course. Previous research has viewed 'boomers' as having experiences that set them apart from previous generations. This research project provided an account of the lives of the boomer generation, examining the role of consumption in changing traditional approaches to adult ageing. Phase One of the research comprised semi-structured interviews conducted with 150 respondents born between 1945 and 1954, resident in the Greater Manchester area (115 of these transcripts are included in this collection). For Phase Two, further in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 respondents from the phase one group, based on open-ended questions derived from initial analysis of the structured interviews. A quantitative data file covering respondents' demographic characteristics is also included. Further information about the study methodology may be found in the study user guide.

 The study objectives were to:
collect a new body of information on continuity/discontinuity in consumption patterns across the life course

contribute to the development of research methods comparing social discourse/mid-life with personal experience/biographical narrative

develop a particular theory around the material cultures for midlife and generational patterns of consumption

contribute to national/international policy debates
