Journal Article
Karlis, A. K., Papachristou, P. K., Diakonos, F. K., Constantoudis, V., & Schmelcher, P. (2006). Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model. Physical Review Letters, 97(19), 194102-194106. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.194102

Fermi acceleration in a Fermi-Ulam model, consisting of an ensemble of particles bouncing between two, infinitely heavy, stochastically oscillating hard walls, is investigated. It is shown that the widely used approximation, neglecting the displaceme... Read More about Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model.

Accounting students' perceptions of a virtual learning environment: Springboard or safety net? (2006)
Journal Article
Love, N., & Fry, N. (2006). Accounting students' perceptions of a virtual learning environment: Springboard or safety net?. Accounting Education, 15(2), 151-166. https://doi.org/10.1080/06939280600609201
