Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to projecting cancer incidence and mortality (2002)
Journal Article
Projections based on incidence and mortality data collected by cancer registries are important for estimating current rates in the short term, and public health planning in the longer term. Classical approaches are dependent on questionable parametri... Read More about Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to projecting cancer incidence and mortality.
The stability of a superfluid rotating jet (2002)
Journal Article
We consider the linear stability of a cylindrical rotating jet of pure superfluid held together by surface tension. A necessary and sufficient condition for stability to axisymmetric disturbances is derived which corresponds to that of a classical in... Read More about The stability of a superfluid rotating jet.
Highly sensitive mixed oxide sensors for the detection of ethanol (2002)
Journal Article
Sensors consisting of mixtures of tin dioxide and zinc oxide powders in a range of proportions were constructed. Each mixture was applied to an electrode-bearing alumina substrate either as a paste, or by screen printing. The responses of these senso...

A structural and mechanistic investigation of the mono-O-phenylation of diols with BiPh3(OAc)2 (2002)
Journal Article
The mono-O-phenylation of enantiomerically pure pinanediol 2 using BiPh3(OAc)2 1 and the biphenyl-2,2′-ylenephenylbismuth analogue 9 has been investigated. It is postulated that reductive elimination at the trigonal bipyramidal bismuth (V) centre of...
