Thesis
Mwakibete, H. Electrochemical and isothermal titration calorimetry studies associated with polymer-micelle complexes and surfactant/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The effective degree of micellar dissociation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles has been determined from electrochemical (EMF) measurements using a CTAB selective electrode. Thermodynamic parameters have been determined using the...

From English to formal specifications (1994)
Journal Article
Vadera, S., & Meziane, F. (1994). From English to formal specifications. Computer Journal, 37(9), 753-763. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/37.9.753

Formal methods provide an approach in which design steps can be shown to satisfy a specification. However, if a formal specification is wrong, then although the design steps may satisfy the formal specification, they are unlikely to satisfy the requi...
