Comparison of accepted gaps for different on-street parking designs (2000)
Presentation / Conference
Purnawan, & Yousif, S. (2000, October). Comparison of accepted gaps for different on-street parking designs. Presented at 5th ISSM, Paris, France

Potential problems could arise when drivers leave their parking stalls and merge into the main traffic stream. These problems could partly be attributed to finding acceptable gaps to merge into with safety and without causing undue difficulties to f...

Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation (2000)
Journal Article
Syed, K., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 17(8), 1366-1375. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.17.001366

The theory of ultrabroadband multifrequency Raman generation is extended, for the first time, to allow for beam-propagation effects in one and two transverse dimensions. We show that a complex transverse structure develops even when diffraction is ne... Read More about Transverse effects in multifrequency Raman generation.
