Onset of Darcy-Brinkman convection with a uniform internal heat source and vertical throughflow (2017)
Journal Article
The problem of thermal convection in a horizontal fluid saturated porous layer is examined, where the flow is governed by the Brinkman extension of Darcy's law. A uniform internal heat source and vertical throughflow are also considered. The linear a...

DES prediction of a 3-element high-lift airfoil with a blown flap (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Over the last 20 years, research on aerodynamic flow control methods has received considerable attention due to its ability to improve aircraft aerodynamic performance beyond current capabilities (Ternoy et al., 2013). It is evident that a successful... Read More about DES prediction of a 3-element high-lift airfoil with a blown flap.
Protocol for a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover trial of Melatonin for treatment of Nocturia in adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MeNiMS) (2017)
Journal Article
© 2017 The Author(s). Background: Nocturia (the symptom of needing to wake up to pass urine) is common in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Moderate-to-severe nocturia affects quality of life, can exacerbate fatigue and may affect capacit...

Introduction
The experience of a traumatic or extremely stressful event may be sufficient to challenge a strongly held set of assumptions about the world and the self. In some people this may lead to the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorde...
