CFD modelling of atrium-assisted natural ventilation (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., Cook, M., & Hunt, G. (2004, September). CFD modelling of atrium-assisted natural ventilation. Presented at The 9th International Conference on Air Distribution in Rooms, University of Coimbra, Portugal

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to model buoyancy-driven airflows has always proved challenging. This work investigates CFD modelling of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation flows in a single-storey space connected to an atrium. Th...

Methodological challenges in the study of psychological recovery from modern surgery (2004)
Journal Article
Mitchell, M. (2004). Methodological challenges in the study of psychological recovery from modern surgery. Nurse Researcher, 12(1), 64-77

Most cases of elective surgery in the UK are now undertaken in day-case facilities, and the trend is set to increase. Surgical and anaesthetic health care is changing rapidly. Traditional pre- and post-operative nursing intervention, once commonly ta... Read More about Methodological challenges in the study of psychological recovery from modern surgery.

Magnetically soft, high moment grain-refined Fe films: application to magnetic tunnel junctions (2004)
Journal Article
Georgieva, M., Telling, N., Grundy, P., Faunce, C., & Jones, G. (2004). Magnetically soft, high moment grain-refined Fe films: application to magnetic tunnel junctions. Journal of Applied Physics, 96(5), 2923-2926. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1776627

The effect of N-doping on the microstructure and magnetic properties of thin Fe layers has been employed to construct all Fe-electrode magnetic tunnel junctions that displayed the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect. Using low nitrogen doses, a... Read More about Magnetically soft, high moment grain-refined Fe films: application to magnetic tunnel junctions.

The role of technology transfer in innovation within small construction firms (2004)
Journal Article

Findings were drawn from an 18 month research project involving in-depth case study and action research fieldwork with seven small construction companies to understand the role and significance of innovation for them. A key finding of the work has be... Read More about The role of technology transfer in innovation within small construction firms.

What works and in what ways? The contributions of mentoring towards diversity, progression and achievement (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, I. (2004). What works and in what ways? The contributions of mentoring towards diversity, progression and achievement

In this paper I use three case studies to illustrate how peer mentoring has been developed and organised at the University and, in turn, how these specific examples of practice have contributed to diversity, progression and achievement. However, I a... Read More about What works and in what ways? The contributions of mentoring towards diversity, progression and achievement.
