Hydride phase formation in carbon supported palladium nanoparticle electrodes investigated using in situ EXAFS and XRD (2003)
Journal Article

In situ EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure), in situ XRD (X-ray diffraction) and electrochemical studies have been used to investigate the palladium hydride phases of carbon supported palladium nanoparticles as a function of applied pote...

Hybrid heuristics for planning lot setups and sizes (2003)
Journal Article

The planning of a canning line at a drinks manufacturer is discussed and formulated as a mathematical programming model. Several alternative heuristic solution methods are developed, tested and compared on real data, illustrating the trade-offs betwe...

Physical-based friction identification of an electro-mechanical actuator with Dymola/Modelica and MOPS (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Gas phase electrochemical detection of single latex particles (2003)
Journal Article

In this study we describe zero current potentiometric measurements in a gaseous flame electrolyte, for the detection of single latex particles. Combustion of polystyrene latex particles when added to a premixed hydrogen/oxygen/nitrogen flame, results... Read More about Gas phase electrochemical detection of single latex particles.

Exploring the psychosocial concerns of out-patients with disfiguring conditions (2003)
Journal Article

Objective: This study was undertaken to establish the extent and type of psychosocial need in outpatients attending for treatment for a variety of disfiguring conditions.
Method: A total of 220 outpatients receiving treatment for burns, skin condit... Read More about Exploring the psychosocial concerns of out-patients with disfiguring conditions.

Optimization approximations for capacity constrained material requirements planning (2003)
Journal Article

This paper develops three mixed integer programming (MIP) models and solution methods to assist in identifying a capacity feasible master production schedule (MPS) in material requirements planning (MRP) systems. The initial exact model takes into ac... Read More about Optimization approximations for capacity constrained material requirements planning.

Sequential and continuum bifurcations in degenerate elliptic equations (2003)
Journal Article

We examine the bifurcations to positive and sign-changing solutions of degenerate elliptic equations. In the problems we study, which do not represent Fredholm operators, we show that there is a critical parameter value at which an infinity of bifurc...

The analysis of a two-phase zone with condensation in a porous medium (2003)
Journal Article

The one-dimensional steady-state heat and mass transfer in a two-phase zone of a water-saturated porous medium is studied. The system consists of a sand-water-vapour mixture in a tube that is heated from above and cooled from below. Under certain con...

Journal Article

Investigating the appearance-related concerns of people with hand injuries (2003)
Journal Article

An investigation of the appearance-related concerns of patients with disfiguring hand conditions was carried out in two out-patient clinics. A considerable proportion of the 122 respondents were experiencing psychosocial problems including anxiety, d...

Structure and Energetics of a Turbulent Trailing Edge Flow (2003)
Journal Article

Results from a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flow over a rectangular trailing edge geometry are used to study energy transfers in detail. The numerical procedure employs a separate boundary layer simulation which is used to generate... Read More about Structure and Energetics of a Turbulent Trailing Edge Flow.

On the use of an enhanced transverse shear strain shell element for problems involving large rotations (2003)
Journal Article

This paper presents the extension of a previously developed formulation for shell elements in order to account for non-linear geometric effects, particularly in the presence of large rotations. To eliminate transverse shear locking, the developed she... Read More about On the use of an enhanced transverse shear strain shell element for problems involving large rotations.

The flow of a DAE near a singular equilibrium (2003)
Journal Article

We extend the differential-algebraic equation (DAE) taxonomy by assuming that the linearization of a DAE about a singular equilibrium has a particular index-2 Kronecker normal form. A Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure is used to reduce the DAE to a quasilin... Read More about The flow of a DAE near a singular equilibrium.

Transversality and separation of zeros in second order differential equations (2003)
Journal Article

Sufficient conditions on the non-linearity f are given which ensure that non-trivial solutions of second order differential equations of the form Lu = f(t, u) have a finite number of transverse zeros in a given finite time interval. We also obtain a... Read More about Transversality and separation of zeros in second order differential equations.
