Moving forward – developing resources for women with breast cancer at the end of hospital based treatment (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

When women inish hospital-based treatment for breast cancer and become a breast cancer survivor, they experience a distinct 're-entry' point in their lives. For many this is a time of crisis (Allen, 2009). While breast cancer patients have a range of...

Less can be more (2010)
Journal Article
James, G. (2010). Less can be more

In her new article Less can be More, Gillian James of the University of Salford leads us toward contemporary speech and writing in frequently encountered media as a spur to encourage creative use of speech exercises promoting practical outcomes in ev... Read More about Less can be more.

Neither/nor (2010)
Exhibition / Performance

The artists featured in Neither/Nor explore painting as an experimental site in which the traditional criteria by which painting has come to be defined have all but been expunged. Painting that is neither/nor. The artists re-examine the philosophic... Read More about Neither/nor.

Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2010, September). Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models. Presented at EAA Euroregio Conference, Ljubljana

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) can be used to predict the scattering of sound in rooms. It reduces the problem of modelling the volume of air to one involving only the surfaces; hence the number of unknowns scales more favourably with problem size...

Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2010, September). Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The slowly varying envelope approximation and the ensuing Galilean boost to a local time frame are near-universal features of conventional scalar pulse models. Here, we will give an overview of our recent progress with a new approach to nonlinear pul... Read More about Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics.

Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Sanchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., & Mcdonald, G. (2010, September). Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

We present a generalized Snell’s law that governs grey soliton refraction at the interface separating two defocusing
Kerr media. The analysis, based on the Helmholtz theory, is valid for arbitrary angles of incidence and reveals that grey solitons u... Read More about Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces.

Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Heyes, A., & Huang, J. (2010, September). Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

We present the first detailed account of kaleidoscope laser modes where the equivalent Fresnel number Neq and magnification M may assume arbitrary values. Properties of these linear fractal eigenmodes are explored through extensive numerical computat... Read More about Kaleidoscope laser properties and new optical fractal contexts.

Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Sánchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., McDonald, G., & McCoy, E. (2010, September). Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law. Presented at 10th International Conference on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling (LFNM), 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The behaviour of a scalar optical beam at the boundary between two dissimilar nonlinear media is of fundamental interest in nonlinear photonics. Here, we report the first systematic generalization of our Kerr analyses to a wider class of power-law ma... Read More about Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law.

Naturally Occurring Triggers that Induce Apoptosis-Like Programmed Cell Death in Plasmodium berghei Ookinetes (2010)
Journal Article

Several protozoan parasites have been shown to undergo a form of programmed cell death that exhibits morphological features associated with metazoan apoptosis. These include the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium berghei. Malaria zygotes develop in...

This paper explores recent patterns of minority interest television programming in
Finland and the UK and their implications for future public service broadcasting (PSB)
environments. The provision of resources to cater for minority interests of va... Read More about Catering for Minority Interests in Public Service Media Environments: Finland and the UK.

Do worlds collide? Revisiting experiential learning (2010)

Determination of optimal CT exposure factors for lung lesions using an anthropomorphic chest phantom for SPECT-CT (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

PURPOSE: SPECT‐CT is a valuable modality for diagnosis and staging of primary and secondary
malignant disease and also diagnosing benign conditions. CT incurs a significant radiation burden;
consequently CT acquisition parameters require optimisati... Read More about Determination of optimal CT exposure factors for lung lesions using an anthropomorphic chest phantom for SPECT-CT.
