Ultrabroad-bandwidth multifrequency Raman generation (1994)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., New, G., Losev, L., Lutsenko, A., & Shaw, M. (1994). Ultrabroad-bandwidth multifrequency Raman generation. Optics Letters, 19(18), 1400-1402. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.19.001400

We report on the modeling of transient stimulated rotational Raman scattering in H2 gas. We predict a multifrequency output, spanning a bandwidth greater than the pump frequency, that may be generated without any significant delay with respect to the...

Analytical and numerical investigations of a cavity containing a Kerr medium are reported. The mean field equation with plane-wave excitation and diffraction is assumed. Stable hexagons are dominant close to threshold for a self-focusing medium. B... Read More about Pattern formation in a passive Kerr cavity.

The effect of a foraging device (The ‘Edinburgh Foodball’) on the behaviour of pigs (1994)
Journal Article

Sows housed under conditions of food and physical restriction often perform behaviours indicative of poor welfare (e.g. repetitive chain chewing), one cause of which may be the inability of sows to express foraging behaviour under confined conditions...

Electronic feeding systems for progeny testing pigs, allow selection to occur under conditions found on commercial farms. This paper reports on the feeding behaviour of six groups of 10 pigs, balanced for sex and initial body weight (mean starting an...

Dynsmics in canonical spin-glasses observed by muon spin depolarization (1994)
Journal Article
Campbell, I., Amato, A., Gygax, F., Herlach, D., Schenck, A., Cywinski, R., & Kilcoyne, S. (1994). Dynsmics in canonical spin-glasses observed by muon spin depolarization. Physical Review Letters, 72(8), 1291-1294. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.1291

Muon spin depolarization has been studied in moderately concentrated AgMn and AuFe alloys from the freezing temperature T-g up to 300 K. The muon depolarization function can be analyzed to show that the temperature dependence of the strongly nonexpon...

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...

A review of expert systems for chromatography (1994)
Journal Article
Bryant, C., Adam, A., Taylor, D., & Rowe, R. (1994). A review of expert systems for chromatography. Analytica Chimica Acta, 297(3), 317-347. https://doi.org/10.1016/0003-2670%2894%2900209-6

Expert systems for chromatography are reviewed. A taxonomy is proposed that allows present (and future) expert systems in this area to be classified and facilitates an understanding of their inter-relationship. All the systems are described focusing... Read More about A review of expert systems for chromatography.

Based on the premiss that, as technology gradually takes over most of the clerical functions of management, the one function which computers and automation may never replicate is the creativity of the human mind. Examines the implications of the mana... Read More about Creativity circles in information management.

New attributes of seat dip attenuation (1994)

New measurements have been made on the low-frequency attenuation of an impulse excitation over-seating in an unoccupied concert hall and on scale model seats. Two new attributes of the phenomenon were found the attenuation varied over time and the wi... Read More about New attributes of seat dip attenuation.

Measuring auditorium seat absorption (1994)
Journal Article

There is a need for a more accurate laboratory measurement method to predict auditorium seat absorption. The traditional method tends to overpredict the absorption of the exposed front and sides of seating blocks. An alternative reverberation chamber...
