of shaping our identities. It was informed by narrative research
methodology that conceptualizes identity as m... Read More about Girls interrupted : narrative constructions of identity among teenage mothers in the UK and France.

Application of Pulsed D.C. Magnetron sputtering deposition for the component layers of CuInSe2 thin film photovoltaic cells (2011)
Thesis
Karthikeyan, S. Application of Pulsed D.C. Magnetron sputtering deposition for the component layers of CuInSe2 thin film photovoltaic cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

On oscillatory oseenlets: the forces generated by them, the far field expansion obtained using them, and their relation to oscillatory stokeslets (2011)
Journal Article
Chadwick, E., & Elmazuzi, R. (2011). On oscillatory oseenlets: the forces generated by them, the far field expansion obtained using them, and their relation to oscillatory stokeslets. #Journal not on list, 9(1),

Consider uniform flow past an oscillating body. Assume that the resulting far-field flow consists of both steady and time periodic components. The time periodic components can be decomposed into a Fourier expansion series of time harmonic components....
