Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2010, September). Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The slowly varying envelope approximation and the ensuing Galilean boost to a local time frame are near-universal features of conventional scalar pulse models. Here, we will give an overview of our recent progress with a new approach to nonlinear pul... Read More about Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics.

Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Sanchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., & Mcdonald, G. (2010, September). Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

We present a generalized Snell’s law that governs grey soliton refraction at the interface separating two defocusing
Kerr media. The analysis, based on the Helmholtz theory, is valid for arbitrary angles of incidence and reveals that grey solitons u... Read More about Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces.

Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Heyes, A., & Huang, J. (2010, September). Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

We present the first detailed account of kaleidoscope laser modes where the equivalent Fresnel number Neq and magnification M may assume arbitrary values. Properties of these linear fractal eigenmodes are explored through extensive numerical computat... Read More about Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts.

Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Sánchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., McDonald, G., & McCoy, E. (2010, September). Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law. Presented at 10th International Conference on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling (LFNM), 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The behaviour of a scalar optical beam at the boundary between two dissimilar nonlinear media is of fundamental interest in nonlinear photonics. Here, we report the first systematic generalization of our Kerr analyses to a wider class of power-law ma... Read More about Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law.

Naturally Occurring Triggers that Induce Apoptosis-Like Programmed Cell Death in Plasmodium berghei Ookinetes (2010)
Journal Article

Several protozoan parasites have been shown to undergo a form of programmed cell death that exhibits morphological features associated with metazoan apoptosis. These include the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium berghei. Malaria zygotes develop in...

Readiness of organisations to implement a knowledge management strategy: A construction industry overview (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mohd Zin, I., & Egbu, C. (2010, September). Readiness of organisations to implement a knowledge management strategy: A construction industry overview. Presented at Annual ARCOM Conference, Association of Researchers in Construction Management, Leeds, UK,

Many organisations are now looking towards knowledge management (KM) initiatives to address some of the challenges brought forward by marketplace pressures and the nature of the workplace. Organisations in the construction industry are no exceptions.... Read More about Readiness of organisations to implement a knowledge management strategy: A construction industry overview.

Exploitation of knowledge mapping benefits in the facilities performance evaluation process: A conceptual framework (2010)
Presentation / Conference
conceptual framework. Presented at Association of Researchers in Construction Management,, Leeds, UK,

Previous studies in various fields have identified numbers of knowledge mapping tools and techniques that are widely used. Knowledge mapping tools and techniques assist with information and knowledge flow throughout an organization. However, for a kn...
