CAST – City Analysis Simulation Tool: An Integrated Model of Land Use, Population, Transport, and Economics (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper reports on research into city modelling based on principles of
Science of Complexity. It focuses on integration of major processes in cities, such as
economics, land use, transport and population movement. This is achieved using an
exten... Read More about CAST – City Analysis Simulation Tool: An Integrated Model of Land Use, Population, Transport, and Economics.

Implementation of a graded-index medium by use of subwavelength structures with graded fill factor (2005)
Journal Article
Levy, U., Nezhad, M., Kim, H.-C., Tsai, C.-H., Pang, L., & Fainman, Y. (2005). Implementation of a graded-index medium by use of subwavelength structures with graded fill factor. Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 22(4), 724-733. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.22.000724

We present a novel configuration for the implementation of subwavelength-based graded-index devices. The proposed concept is based on the etching of one-dimensional subwavelength gratings into a high-index slab waveguide to achieve the desired effect...

Form-birefringence structure fabrication in GaAs by use of SU-8 as a dry-etching mask (2005)
Journal Article
Pang, L., Nezhad, M., Levy, U., Tsai, C.-H., & Fainman, Y. (2005). Form-birefringence structure fabrication in GaAs by use of SU-8 as a dry-etching mask. Applied Optics, 44(12), 2377-2381. https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.44.002377

A thin layer of a SU-8 submicrometer pattern produced by holographic lithography was directly used as the dry-etching mask in a chemically assisted ion-beam-etching system. With optimized etching parameters, etching selectivity of 7:1 was achieved to... Read More about Form-birefringence structure fabrication in GaAs by use of SU-8 as a dry-etching mask.

Characterization of chemically assisted ion beam etching and Form birefringence structure fabrication in GaAs using SU-8 (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We describe an approach to use the thin layer of SU-8 submicron pattern produced by holographic lithography as dry etching mask in chemically assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE) system. The effect of chlorine gas flow on etched sidewall was investigate...

Sex tourism and chaos : a complex system approach (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Eaglen, A., & Maccarrone-Eaglen, A. (2005, December). Sex tourism and chaos : a complex system approach. Presented at Second PolyU China Tourism Forum, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, P. R. China

Sex tourism has been associated with human trafficking (sex slavery), violence, child sexual exploitation and the transmission of HIV/AIDS. Though marginalised, sex tourism is globally pervasive, embracing multiple stakeholders and contextualised wit... Read More about Sex tourism and chaos : a complex system approach.

The role of the link teacher in the context of nurse education (2005)
Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2005). The role of the link teacher in the context of nurse education. Nursing Times, 101(50), 33-36

Link teachers have historically been employed to encourage the utilisation of nursing theory in the clinical setting. However, evidence suggests that this role has done little to help establish a theory-practice link. This article outlines the concep...

Characterization of surface plasmon polariton pulse propagation on thin metallic films and two dimensional nanohole arrays (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A variety of techniques, including spectral measurements, near-field, and time-resolved spatial heterodyne imaging technique are employed to investigate the properties of surface plasmon polaritons. Such techniques may prove useful for investigating... Read More about Characterization of surface plasmon polariton pulse propagation on thin metallic films and two dimensional nanohole arrays.

Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics. (2005)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., & Onambele, G. (2005). Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics. Chronobiology International, 22(6), 1013-1027. https://doi.org/10.1080/07420520500397900

The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between quadriceps torque, vastus lateralis pennation angle (theta), and patella tendon stiffness (K) at 07:45 and 17:45 h. Using short-duration static contractions, simultaneous recording... Read More about Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics..
