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...

Electroreductions on silver-based electrocatalysts : the use of Ag Nanoparticles for CHCl3to CH4Conversion (2009)
Journal Article
Rondinini, S., Aricci, G., Krpetic, Z., Locatelli, C., Minguzzi, A., Porta, F., & Vertova, A. (2009). Electroreductions on silver-based electrocatalysts : the use of Ag Nanoparticles for CHCl3to CH4Conversion. Fuel Cells, 9(3), 253-263. https://doi.org/10.1002/fuce.200800083

A preliminary investigation on a new class on electrocatalytic
materials for the electroreduction of organic halides is
presented and discussed. The electrocatalysts are based on
silver nanoparticles (Ag_NP), ad hoc synthesised by chemical
reduct... Read More about Electroreductions on silver-based electrocatalysts : the use of Ag Nanoparticles for CHCl3to CH4Conversion.

Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals (2009)
Journal Article
Short, C., & Al-Maiyah, S. (2009). Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals. Building Research and Information, 37(3), 264-292. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613210902885156

What is the potential for incorporating low-energy ventilation and cooling strategies into the design of new hospitals? How would such strategies cope with a changing climate? Natural ventilation is promoted by the UK National Health Service (NHS) in... Read More about Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals.

The meaning of the experience of sea kayaking for persons with spinal cord injury (2009)
Journal Article
Collins, B., O'Broin, D., & Casey, N. (2009). The meaning of the experience of sea kayaking for persons with spinal cord injury. ˜The œIrish journal of occupational therapy, 37(2), 29-36

Engagement in meaningful activity is at the core of occupational therapy; when a person sustains a spinal cord injury (SCI), access to leisure activities that once had meaning may become limited. This study aims to gain an insider?s perspective on th... Read More about The meaning of the experience of sea kayaking for persons with spinal cord injury.

The impact of the United States on India's energy security strategy (2009)
Journal Article
Wu, F. (2009). The impact of the United States on India's energy security strategy. Nanya yanjiu jikan, 2009(1), 8-12

India’s own energy resources, especially oil and gas resources, are difficult to meet Its rapid economic development has huge demand for energy, so it has to rely on imported oil and gas to fill its domestic energy supply and demand gap. Therefore, s... Read More about The impact of the United States on India's energy security strategy.

Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field (2009)
Journal Article
Massoumian, F., Alali, S., & Mansouri, T. (2009). Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field. Optics Letters, 34(1), 67-69. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.34.000067

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...
