Rapid manufacturing of patterns for investment casting: Improvement of quality and success rate (2006)
Journal Article
Purpose - The main objective of this paper is to analyse all stages of the CastForm™ polystyrene (CF) pattern fabrication process, identify the reasons leading to inferior quality, and outline techniques for its improvement and reduction of failures....

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...

Attitudes to face transplantation: Results of a public engagement exercise at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition (2006)
Journal Article
Hettiaratchy and Butler (Lancet 2002;360:5-6) framed face transplantation as the next logical step on the reconstructive ladder for severe facial injury, in particular, pan-facial burns. The procedure formed the basis for a Royal College of Surgeons...

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...

A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation (2006)
Journal Article
In the last decade, one-point quadrature shell elements attracted many academic and industrial researchers because of their computational performance, especially if applied for explicit finite element simulations. Nowadays, one-point quadrature finit... Read More about A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation.
