An enhanced assumed strain one point quadrature shell element for nonlinear applications (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A new one-point quadrature enhanced assumed strain (EAS) solid-shell element with multiple integration points along thickness - Part II: Nonlinear applications (2006)
Journal Article
In this work the recently proposed Reduced Enhanced Solid-Shell (RESS) finite element, based on the enhanced assumed strain (EAS) method and a one-point quadrature integration scheme, is extended in order to account for large deformation elastoplasti...

One point quadrature solid-shell elements for sheet metal forming applications (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Towards the application of swarm intelligence in safety critical systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Swarm Intelligence provides us with a powerful new paradigm for building fully distributed de-centralised systems in which overall system functionality emerges from the interaction of individual agents with each other and with their environment. Such... Read More about Towards the application of swarm intelligence in safety critical systems.
Designing intelligent control systems for safety critical applications (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper presents a design methodology for behaviour-based intelligent control systems, which we argue is suited to safety critical applications. The methodology has a formal basis, and uses dynamical systems theory to prove system safety propertie... Read More about Designing intelligent control systems for safety critical applications.
Recovery of surface orientation from diffuse polarization (2006)
Journal Article
When unpolarized light is reflected from a smooth dielectric surface, it becomes partially polarized. This is due to the orientation of dipoles induced in the reflecting medium and applies to both specular and diffuse reflection. This paper is concer...

Randomized clinical trial of local anesthetic versus a combination of local anesthetic with self-hypnosis in the management of pediatric procedure-related pain (2006)
Journal Article
A prospective controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of an analgesic cream (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics, or EMLA) with a combination of EMLA with hypnosis in the relief of lumbar puncture-induced pain and anxiety in 45 pedia...
