A trial analysis of Central Asia in Japan's energy strategy (2008)
Journal Article
Wu, F. (2008). A trial analysis of Central Asia in Japan's energy strategy. Guowai shehui kexue qingkuang, 59-63

Japan's domestic energy resources are scarce and highly dependent on imported energy to meet domestic demand. In order to ensure the security of energy supply, Japan implements an energy strategy of diversifying oil and gas import sources and promoti...

Factors affecting the Strategic Planning Process : case studies from Libyan public manufacturing companies (2008)
Thesis
El-Baruni, K. Factors affecting the Strategic Planning Process : case studies from Libyan public manufacturing companies. (Thesis). University of Salford

Little research has been conducted in the area of Strategic Planning Processes (SPPs) in western contexts and especially in public organisations. Although such organisations differ significantly from business companies, their need for improved 'ope...

Fluid-structure interaction of metallic and composite plates subjected to dynamic loading (2008)
Thesis
Hampson, P. Fluid-structure interaction of metallic and composite plates subjected to dynamic loading. (Thesis). University of Salford

An important consideration when designing structures from composite materials is their susceptibility to impact damage. Even under relatively low velocity impact, composites are vulnerable to internal damage caused by transverse loads, but unlike m...

Wide class of new fractal light sources [Invited plenary paper] (2008)
Presentation / Conference
McDonald, G., Christian, J., & Huang, J. (2008, September). Wide class of new fractal light sources [Invited plenary paper]. Presented at Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers (CAOL), 2010 International Conference, Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine

Pattern emergence in Naturepsilas complex systems is mostly attributed to a classic Turing instability. There, a single length-scale becomes dominant and this defines a simple emergent structure (for example, a striped or hexagonal pattern). We have...

Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous spatial fractals (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Huang, J., Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2008, September). Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous spatial fractals. Presented at European Optical Society Annual Meeting, Paris, France

We present the first predictions of spontaneous spatial fractal patterns in nonlinear ring cavities. New analyses reveal multi-Turing spectra characteristic of susceptibility for spontaneous fractals. Extensive computer simulations confirm theoretic...
