Helmholtz-Manakov solitons (2006)
Journal Article

A novel spatial soliton-bearing wave equation is introduced, the Helmholtz-Manakov (H-M) equation, for describing the evolution of broad multi-component self-trapped beams in Kerr-type media. By omitting the slowly-varying envelope approximation, the... Read More about Helmholtz-Manakov solitons.

Male mating preferences pre-date the origin of a female trait polymorphism in an incipient species complex of Lake Victoria cichlids (2006)
Journal Article
Pierotti, M. E., & Seehausen, O. (2007). Male mating preferences pre-date the origin of a female trait polymorphism in an incipient species complex of Lake Victoria cichlids. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 20(1), 240-248. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2006.01206.x

Disruptive sexual selection on colour patterns has been suggested as a major cause of diversification in the cichlid species flock of Lake Victoria. In Neochromis omnicaeruleus, a colour and sex determination polymorphism is associated with a polymor...

Korteweg-de Vries description of Helmholtz-Kerr dark solitons (2006)
Journal Article

A wide variety of different physical systems can be described by a relatively small set of universal equations. For example, small-amplitude nonlinear Schrödinger dark solitons can be described by a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Reductive perturb...

Nodal network and CFD simulation of airflow and heat transfer in double skin facades with blinds (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Hanby, V., Cook, M., Infield, D., Ji, Y., Loveday, D., & Mei, L. (2006, December). Nodal network and CFD simulation of airflow and heat transfer in double skin facades with blinds. Presented at The 7th International Conference on System Simulation in Buildings, Liege, Belgium

The paper describes a modeling study of heat transfer and buoyancy-driven airflow in double skin facades consisting of a glass outer layer, a control device (venetian blind) and a double-glazed inner skin. The modeling study was based on two approach... Read More about Nodal network and CFD simulation of airflow and heat transfer in double skin facades with blinds.

One step process for chemical vapour deposition of titanium dioxide thin films incorporating controlled structure nanoparticles (2006)
Journal Article
Nolan, M., Pemble, M., Sheel, D., & Yates, H. (2006). One step process for chemical vapour deposition of titanium dioxide thin films incorporating controlled structure nanoparticles. Thin Solid Films, 515(4), 1956-1962. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsf.2006.07.182

In this work we describe a two stage chemical-vapour-deposition based route to growing nanoparticle containing thin films. As a model we describe titanium dioxide film formation on glass substrates. The process involves using a gas-to-particle conver...

Synchrotron x-ray measurement and finite element analysis of residual strain in TIG welded aluminium alloy 2024 (2006)
Journal Article
Preston, R., Shercliff, H., Withers, P., Hughes, D., Smith, S., & Webster, P. (2006). Synchrotron x-ray measurement and finite element analysis of residual strain in TIG welded aluminium alloy 2024

Residual strains have been measured in a tungsten inert gas (TIG) butt-welded 2024 aluminum alloy plate using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Novel two-dimensional strain maps spanning the entire plate reveal steep gradients in residual stress and pro...
