Computation of high-lift aerodynamics using unstructured grids and Reynolds-stress turbulence models (2008)
Thesis

The computation of high-lift flows poses considerable challenges to the aerodynamicist.
The work presented in this thesis describes the development of
an efficient unstructured grid generation method for high lift flows and the
application of Diff... Read More about Computation of high-lift aerodynamics using unstructured grids and Reynolds-stress turbulence models.

Developing VDM ++ operations from UML diagrams (2008)
Thesis

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is widely accepted as the standard notation
for Object-Oriented methods. However, one of its major problem is its
lack of formal semantics. The development of the Object Constraints Language
(OCL) in the last f... Read More about Developing VDM ++ operations from UML diagrams.

Hydraulic characteristics of siphonic roof drainage outlets (2008)
Thesis

Siphonic roof drainage uses an innovative hydraulic design to increase the efficiency of
rainwater disposal. The roof outlet is a critical component of the system and not only
promotes and sustains priming of the system but also controls the depth... Read More about Hydraulic characteristics of siphonic roof drainage outlets.

previous strategies of the position of Primary Care Trusts as provider... Read More about 'Mind the gap!' : a study of leadership and trust and the impact of change for clinical and IT staff of the National Health Service in delivering the NHS Information Technology agenda - Connecting for Health.

Statistical models for match prediction and decision making in sport (2008)
Thesis

In this study, we investigate models for the prediction of match outcome. These
models are then used to aid decision-making. In particular, we consider batting
strategy in test cricket. This model provides decision support for a team that is aiming... Read More about Statistical models for match prediction and decision making in sport.

‘Gradual spiritual formation' - postcolonial mental handicap nursing in Ireland 1919-70 (2008)
Thesis

In this study a postcolonial and social historical framework was utilised to examine the
development of mental handicap nursing in Ireland. The research derives from a historiographical
study of documentary records for the period 1919-70 in Britain... Read More about ‘Gradual spiritual formation' - postcolonial mental handicap nursing in Ireland 1919-70.

A study of 3D CAD and implications for training and skills in the fashion industry (2008)
Thesis

This study was motivated by the need to understand how 3D CAD systems might
impact on the designer and the fashion design process. Current descriptions of the
industry indicated that new strategies were necessary to survive globalisation,
technolo... Read More about A study of 3D CAD and implications for training and skills in the fashion industry.

Measuring up (2008)
Journal Article
Power, E. (2008). Measuring up. Knitting international, 114(1360), 40-41

Until the mid 80s each weft knitting technology (flatbed, straight bar frame and circular) dominated a distinct area of knitwear. Circular knitting had the benefit of speed, producing continuous lengths of cut and sew jersey (amongst other structures... Read More about Measuring up.

Shaping progress (2008)
Journal Article

With the introduction of CMS flatbed machines, combining shape, texture, and color patterning became a cost effective, commercially viable method. Shaped knitwear began to expand from the luxury sector into mass fashion markets. Other benefits includ... Read More about Shaping progress.

Human insecurity and streams of conflict for a re-conceptualization of international migration (2008)
Journal Article
