Journal Article
proposal. Construction Management and Economics, 27(10), 913-922. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446190903273950

The growing interest in informal and emergent features of organizations has accompanied changes both in the dominant forms of organization and prevailing academic views about how best to think about and research them. It is argued here that curren... Read More about Informality in organization and research : a review and a proposal.

Bistable Helmholtz bright solitons in saturable materials (2009)
Journal Article

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first exact analytical solitons of a nonlinear Helmholtz equation with a saturable refractive-index model. These new two-dimensional spatial solitons have a bistable characteristic in some parameter regim... Read More about Bistable Helmholtz bright solitons in saturable materials.

Existence of exocytotic hemifusion intermediates with a lifetime of up to seconds in type II pneumocytes (2009)
Journal Article
Miklavc, P., Albrecht, S., Wittekindt, O., Schullian, P., Haller, T., & Dietl, P. (2009). Existence of exocytotic hemifusion intermediates with a lifetime of up to seconds in type II pneumocytes. Biochemical Journal, 424(1), 7-14. https://doi.org/10.1042/BJ20091094

Exocytosis proceeds through prefusion stages such as hemifusion, but hemifusion is still an elusive intermediate of unknown duration. Using darkfield and fluorescence microscopy in ATII (alveolar type II) cells containing large secretory vesicles (LB...

Hybrid ventilation for low energy building design in south China (2009)
Journal Article
Ji, Y., Lomas, K., & Cook, M. (2009). Hybrid ventilation for low energy building design in south China. Building and Environment, 44(11), 2245-2255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2009.02.015

Buildings and their related activities are responsible for a large portion of the energy consumed in China. It is therefore worthwhile to investigate methods for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. This paper describes a low energy building...

We report emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass which is flattened, has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 600 nm, peaks at 1300 nm and covers the entire telecommunications window. At cryogenic temperatures the FWHM reaches 850 nm.... Read More about Ultrabroad emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass.

We fabricated three series of glasses in which the Y2O3, Bi2 O3 and Al2O3 contents of Bi-doped Y2O3:Al2O3:SiO2 glass were varied. We optimized the content of each component based on quantum efficiency (QE) and other optical properties. The strengt...
