Spirit of place (2015)
Journal Article

Place-based leadership allows strong and decisive planners to prove their value, with Melbourne a perfect example of what can be achieved. Here, Robin Hambleton looks at the Melbourne story - and explains how place-based leadership should be structur... Read More about Spirit of place.

Robotic hand posture and compliant grasping control using operational space and integral sliding mode control (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Cambridge University Press. This paper establishes a novel approach of robotic hand posture and grasping control. For this purpose, the control uses the operational space approach. This permits the consideration of the shape of the object to b... Read More about Robotic hand posture and compliant grasping control using operational space and integral sliding mode control.

Do long leg supine CT scanograms correlate with weight-bearing full-length radiographs to measure lower limb coronal alignment? (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: The gold standard for measuring knee alignment is the lower limb mechanical axis (MA) using weight-bearing lower limb full-length x-ray (FLX). However, CT scanograms (CTS) are becoming increasingly popular in view of lower radiation exp...

Clinical consistency of vibration sense testing: Development of a manikin great toe with embedded accelerometer for testing and training (2014)
Journal Article

Diabetes is the most common cause of peripheral nerve damage and vibration perception is the first sensory modality affected. A standard tuning fork remains the most widely used tool for assessing vibration perception in clinical practice, however in...
