Investigation of strategy dynamics using prisoner’s dilemma problem (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper investigates games strategies on the basis of
experiments with Prisoner’s Dilemma problem. The
objective is to determine which strategies have the best
chance of winning. Although some strategies, such as tit-for-
tat, emerge as better... Read More about Investigation of strategy dynamics using prisoner’s dilemma problem.

Propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on the boundary of a metal and a gain medium (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We show that surface plasmon polariton propagation on a metal surface adjacent to a gain medium can compensate for the metallic loss, thereby increasing the propagation length. Rigorous and numerical finite element studies of various interface geomet... Read More about Propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on the boundary of a metal and a gain medium.

Excitation and direct imaging of surface plasmon polariton modes in the near-infrared (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes techniques for the simultaneous excitation and imaging of various SPP modes in a 2-D periodic hole array, and show that these features are consistent with the dispersion relation for SPPs on a periodically modulated surface.

Multiwavelet Collocation Boundary Element Solution of Laplace's Equation (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we present the result of a preliminary investigation into the collocation method, based on multiwavelet approximation, for boundary integral equations with analytically standard kernels. We apply the method to the boundary integral solu... Read More about Multiwavelet Collocation Boundary Element Solution of Laplace's Equation.

User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a gap between construction IT (CIT) research and its uptake within the construction industry. One way to reduce this gap is better requirements capture and testing during CIT research.
DIVERCITY was a European consortium of researchers and... Read More about User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project.

Requirements engineering process in the CIC development: The divercity project case study (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Understanding the users’ real requirements is absolutely critical to the development of successful information systems. To achieve a user-oriented and a high level quality of system and to increase the implementation of the integrated software system...

The role of hypocapnia in the development of syncope during orthostatic stress following plasma volume expansion (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hypotension is considered to be the cause of syncope during
lower body negative pressure (LBNP). However, hypocapnia
induced by hyperventilation has been observed in subjects
preceding syncope, and may contribute to the onset of syncope
by reduci... Read More about The role of hypocapnia in the development of syncope during orthostatic stress following plasma volume expansion.
