Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Gould, D., Vidal, F., Hughes, C., Villard, P., Luboz, V., John, N., …Kessel, D. (2008, September). Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects. Poster presented at CIRSE 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark

There is a shortage of radiologists trained in performance of Interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Visceral and vascular IR techniques almost universally commence with a needle puncture, usually to a specific target for biopsy, or to introduce w...

Futuristic design review in the construction industry (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Gautier, G., Piddington, C., Bassanino, M., Fernando, T., & Skjærbæk, J. (2008, September). Futuristic design review in the construction industry. Presented at eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Conference, Sophia-Antipolis, France

Many researchers have already demonstrated the benefits of enhancing collaboration in the construction industry and the role of IT as a facilitator of inter-enterprise communications is also well accepted. However, the construction companies are slow... Read More about Futuristic design review in the construction industry.

Solving unforeseen events on construction sites more efficiently (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Hinrichs, E., Bassanino, M., Piddington, C., Gautier, G., Khosrowshahi, F., Fernando, T., & Skjærbæk, J. (2008, September). Solving unforeseen events on construction sites more efficiently. Presented at eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Conference, Sophia-Antipolis, France

This paper presents the process of solving unforeseen events on construction sites – a frequent phenomenon throughout the industry. The current process of handling an unforeseen problem is described and contrasted with a future scenario in which I&C...

Helmholtz solitons: fresh perspectives and new angles in photonics (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Mcdonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2008, August). Helmholtz solitons: fresh perspectives and new angles in photonics. Poster presented at National Photonics Conference, Photon 08, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK

Spatial solitons are self-localizing optical beams that can evolve with a stationary intensity profile when diffraction is off-set by material nonlinearity. Classic descriptions of spatial solitons [1] involve the paraxial approximation, which can im... Read More about Helmholtz solitons: fresh perspectives and new angles in photonics.

Spontaneous self-synchronization mechanism for attosecond pulses (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., & Christian, J. (2008, August). Spontaneous self-synchronization mechanism for attosecond pulses. Poster presented at National Photonics Conference, Photon 08, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK

Ultra-broadband multi-frequency Raman generation is a long-established technique for producing temporal bandwidths that can be of the order of the pump frequency. However, higher-than-optimal intensity beams reduce the bandwidth generated. Many works... Read More about Spontaneous self-synchronization mechanism for attosecond pulses.

Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous fractal patterns (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Huang, J., Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2008, August). Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous fractal patterns. Poster presented at National Photonics Conference, Photon 08, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK

Turing instability is the tendency of the uniform states of a system to become spontaneously patterned in the presence of any small fluctuation [1]. Archetypal Turing- instability patterns include hexagons, squares, stripes, and rings. These simple s... Read More about Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous fractal patterns.
