Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons (2000)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons. Journal of Modern Optics, 47(11), 1877-1886. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340008232440

We present an analysis and simulation of the non-paraxial nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Exact general relations describing energy flow conservation and transformation invariance are reported, and then explained on physical grounds. New instabiliti...

Journal Article
Tomic, S., Milanović, V., & Ikonić, Z. (2000). Optimization of gain in intersubband quantum well lasers by supersymmetry. Physical Review B (Condensed Matter), 62(24), 16681-16685. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.62.16681

Received 17 May 2000; published in the issue dated 15 December 2000

A systematic method is described for the optimized design of quantum-well structures, in respect to maximizing the stimulated gain in optically pumped intersubband lasers. It reli... Read More about Optimization of gain in intersubband quantum well lasers by supersymmetry.

Rigour, reliability, and validity in qualitative research (2000)
Journal Article
Long, T., & Johnson, M. (2000). Rigour, reliability, and validity in qualitative research. Clinical Effectiveness in Nursing, 4(1), 30-37. https://doi.org/10.1054/cein.2000.0106

This article addresses issues relating to rigour within qualitative research, beginning with the need for rigour at all in such studies.The concept of reliability is then
analysed, establishing the traditional understanding of the term, and evaluati... Read More about Rigour, reliability, and validity in qualitative research.

The aim of this research is to contribute to the concept of authenticity for the conservation of historic places.
The focus of this work is a development of a set of criteria to assess authenticity in order to contribute towards the conservation of... Read More about Authenticity criteria for the conservation of historic places.

The problematics of technical translation into Arabic : the case of the Royal Air Force of Oman (2000)
Thesis
Al-Ma'ni, M. The problematics of technical translation into Arabic : the case of the Royal Air Force of Oman. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis examines the scope and intricacies of technical translation in
Oman, in general, and its Royal Air Force (RAFO), in particular. The
Study, which is the first of its kind in Oman, focuses on a specific
category of Omani translators:... Read More about The problematics of technical translation into Arabic : the case of the Royal Air Force of Oman.

A journey to learn about journeys : a practical examination of the nature of the relationship between the change manager and his change project (2000)
