P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with adenosine is an effective and safe method for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). Various reports suggest that a 3 min stress regime is as efficacious as a 6 min regime. The aim of the study was to study t... Read More about P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol.

Eigenmode analysis of optical propagation in large-scale subwavelength periodic nanostructures (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Summary form only given. We describe a method for rigorously computing the mode characteristics of a periodic nanostructure, and its application to the accurate design of composite optical materials and novel optical devices. In a form-birefringent n... Read More about Eigenmode analysis of optical propagation in large-scale subwavelength periodic nanostructures.
Towards a control software design environment using a meta-modelling technique (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The novelty of this paper is mainly the integration of multi-disciplinary software tools into a control software design environment, namely the Integrated Design Notation (IDN). The IDN supports the design, development and implementation of decentral... Read More about Towards a control software design environment using a meta-modelling technique.
Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Voting algorithms are used to arbitrate between the variant results in fault tolerant systems. Traditional voters produce incorrect outputs in multiple error conditions. This paper introduces a class of voters, called predictor voters, which can reso... Read More about Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications.

The design, development and evaluation of an array-based FES system with automated setup for the correction of drop foot (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Functional electrical stimulation has been shown to be a safe and effective means of correcting
drop foot of central neurological origin. However, despite recent technological advances, the set-up of
surface stimulators remains a challenge for many... Read More about The design, development and evaluation of an array-based FES system with automated setup for the correction of drop foot.
The key performance indicators of the BIM implementation process (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Contemporarily some firms in the construction industry are attempting to adopt a BIM method of working. Each of these attempts reflects a varying BIM adoption philosophy and inevitably different BIM technologies, implementation strategies and roadmap...

Proportion, pedagogy and processes: The three Ps of e-learning (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
There is a tendency to equate electronic learning or e-learning with distance learning. In fact, e-learning covers a broad spectrum, from learning which is primarily contact based to learning which is 100% distance. Thus, each course can be measured...

History-based weighted average voter: A novel software voting algorithm for fault-tolerant computer systems (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Voting algorithms have been widely used in the realisation of fault-tolerant systems. We propose a new software voting algorithm which uses the history record of redundant modules to compute the final output. Two versions for the novel algorithm are...

Visualisation of a simple beam under a load in virtual environment (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Visualisation is generally considered to be a problem in structural design. Being an iterative process, structural design is time consuming for engineers, and results are difficult for clients to visualize. Current numerical methods have slow dynamic...
