A slender body theory in oseen flow obtained by expanding the Oseenlets in the Green's integral representation (2009)
Journal Article
Chadwick, E. (2009). A slender body theory in oseen flow obtained by expanding the Oseenlets in the Green's integral representation. Fluid Dynamics Research, 41(4), 045508. https://doi.org/10.1088/0169-5983/41/4/045508

Consider steady, uniform flow at a small angle of incidence to a slender body. Let us assume that Oseen flow, the far field approximation obtained by linearizing the velocity about the uniform flow velocity, also holds in a near-field region that conti...

Imaging with polarized neutrons (2009)
Journal Article
Dawson, M., Manke, I., Kardjilov, N., Hilger, A., Strobl, M., & Banhart, J. (2009). Imaging with polarized neutrons. New Journal of Physics, 11(4), 043013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/11/4/043013

Neutrons have zero net electrical charge and can thus penetrate deeply into matter, but their intrinsic magnetic moment makes them highly sensitive to magnetic fields. These properties have been combined with radiographic (2D) and tomographic (3D)... Read More about Imaging with polarized neutrons.

Framework for a generic work breakdown structure for building projects (2009)
Journal Article
Ibrahim, Y., Kaka, A., Aouad, G., & Kagioglou, M. (2009). Framework for a generic work breakdown structure for building projects. Construction innovation (London. Online), 9(4), 388-405. https://doi.org/10.1108/14714170910995930

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for the standardisation of the work breakdown structure (WBS) for building projects. This is based on the premise that buildings in general retain basic elemental options, and that there... Read More about Framework for a generic work breakdown structure for building projects.

Axiomatic based decomposition for conceptual product design (2009)
Journal Article
Mullens, M., Arif, M., Armacost, R., Gawlik, T., & Hoekstra, R. (2009). Axiomatic based decomposition for conceptual product design. Production and Operations Management, 14(3), 286-300. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1937-5956.2005.tb00025.x

This paper describes a structured methodology for decomposing the conceptual design problem in order to facilitate the design process and result in improved conceptual designs that better satisfy the original customer requirements. The axiomatic deco... Read More about Axiomatic based decomposition for conceptual product design.

A novel method for exploring elemental composition of microbial communities : laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry of intact bacterial colonies (2009)
Journal Article
Latimer, J., Stokes, S., Graham, A., Bunch, J., Jackson, R., McLeod, C., & Poole, R. (2009). A novel method for exploring elemental composition of microbial communities : laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry of intact bacterial colonies. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 79(3), 329-335. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2009.10.001

Bacterial colonies are spatially complex structures whose physiology is profoundly dependent on interactions between cells and with the underlying semi-solid substratum. Here, we use bacterial colonies as a model of a microbial community to evaluate...

Using a proposed evolutionary algorithm, we have solved the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field, for the first time (to our knowledge). Further, we have achieved the global solu...
