A methodology for provably stable behaviour-based intelligent control (2006)
Journal Article
This paper presents a design methodology for a class of behaviour-based control systems, arguing its potential for application to safety critical systems. We propose a formal basis for subsumption architecture design based on two extensions to Lyapun... Read More about A methodology for provably stable behaviour-based intelligent control.
A simplified canonical form algorithm with application to porous metal plasticity (2006)
Journal Article
A canonical form for the representation of material constitutive equations within standard finite element codes has been developed which is deceptive in its simplicity. Substitution of different equation systems is trivial and a consistent material J... Read More about A simplified canonical form algorithm with application to porous metal plasticity.

Thickness determination of thin and ultra-thin SiO 2 films by C-AFM IV-spectroscopy (2006)
Journal Article
Conductive atomic force microscopy was used to determine the electrical oxide thickness for five different silicon dioxide layers with thickness in the order of 1.6-5.04 nm. The electrical thickness results were compared with values determined by ell... Read More about Thickness determination of thin and ultra-thin SiO 2 films by C-AFM IV-spectroscopy.
Voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam and its determination in serum using liquid chromatography with redox mode dual-electrode detection (2006)
Journal Article
A method involving high-performance liquid chromatography with dual-electrode electrochemical detection in the redox mode (LC-DED) has been successfully developed for the determination of the benzodiazepine tranquilizer, nitrazepam, in serum. To eluc... Read More about Voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam and its determination in serum using liquid chromatography with redox mode dual-electrode detection.
Nanotechnology in the news (2006)

Nanotechnology has been the topic of intense media scrutiny over the last couple of years. From grey goo to body-repairing nanobots to space elevators and even to more down-to-earth applications such as targeted drug delivery and nanoelectronics, the... Read More about Nanotechnology in the news.
Variable neighbourhood search for job shop scheduling problems (2006)
Journal Article
Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) is one of the most recent metaheuristics used for problem solving in which a systematic change of neighbourhood within a local search is carried out. In this paper, an investigation on implementing VNS for job shop... Read More about Variable neighbourhood search for job shop scheduling problems.
