Emergency networking: famine relief in ant colonies (2010)
Journal Article

Resource distribution is fundamental to social organization, but it poses a dilemma. How to facilitate the spread of useful resources but restrict harmful substances? This dilemma reaches a zenith in famine relief. Survival depends on distributing fo... Read More about Emergency networking: famine relief in ant colonies.

Mathematical modelling of signalling in a two-ligand G-protein coupled receptor system: Agonist-antagonist competition (2010)
Journal Article

A new mathematical model of cell signalling for a two-ligand G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) system is presented. This model extends the single-ligand cubic ternary complex to account for the possibility of an agonist and an antagonist competing fo...

Accumulative drift model of inertial platform under high frequency linear vibration (2010)
Journal Article

In this study a simplified accumulative drift model is developed to describe the operation of inertial platform under high frequency linear vibration. By featuring the accumulative, rather than instant effect of vibration on the drift of the inertial...

A laser induced fluorescence technique for quantifying transient liquid fuel films utilising total internal reflection (2010)
Journal Article

This paper describes the development of a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique to quantify the thickness and spatial distribution of transient liquid fuel films formed as a result of spray-wall interaction. The LIF technique relies on the princ... Read More about A laser induced fluorescence technique for quantifying transient liquid fuel films utilising total internal reflection.
