A simple condition monitoring model for a direct monitoring process (1995)
Journal Article
for a direct monitoring process. European Journal of Operational Research, 82, 258-269

This paper addresses the problem of condition monitoring of a component which has available a measure of
condition called wear. Wear accumulates over time and monitoring inspections are performed at chosen times to
monitor and measure the cumulativ... Read More about A simple condition monitoring model for a direct monitoring process.

During a long-term study of the amphibian fauna on an artificial island near Vienna (Austria), one isolated site was completely encircled with a permanent drift fence and pitfall traps. Eleven amphibian species occurred at the study site. For the Com...

Which is better: Gas or electricity? (1994)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (1994). Which is better: Gas or electricity?. Building Research and Information, 22(5), 261-268. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219408727399

An important message from the presented results is that neither of the systems is better or worse. The suitability of gas and electric heating depends on the circumstances where these systems are applied. Both electricity and gas have advantages and...

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
Young, R., Carruthers, J., & Lawrence, A. (1994). The effect of a foraging device (The ‘Edinburgh Foodball’) on the behaviour of pigs. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 39(3-4), 237-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/0168-1591%2894%2990159-7

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...
