Conditional and unconditional nonlinear stability for convection induced by absorption of radiation in a porous medium (2004)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A. (2004). Conditional and unconditional nonlinear stability for convection induced by absorption of radiation in a porous medium. Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, 16(4), 305-318. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00161-003-0151-3

Convection induced by the selective absorption of radiation is investigated, for the case of an internal heat source that is modelled quadratically with respect to concentration. The growth rate for the linearised system is shown to be real, and a li...

The production line: Reflections on the role of the producer in British cinema (2004)
Journal Article
Spicer, A. H. (2004). The production line: Reflections on the role of the producer in British cinema. Journal of British Cinema and Television, 1(1), 33-50. https://doi.org/10.3366/JBCTV.2004.1.1.33

A film producer has two responsibilities: to the public and to his backers. If he is an imaginative and courageous producer, the two may coincide. The ideal producer, it seems to me, must always look ahead and try not merely to acquiesce in box-offic...

Background. There has been a considerable amount of debate in the nursing literature about euthanasia, and especially the distinctions between acts and omissions, and killing and letting die. These distinctions are required by opponents of euthanasia... Read More about Consequences count: Against absolutism at the end of life.

Speed and accuracy of head- and eye-based aiming systems at high vertical acceleration (2004)
Journal Article
Ineson, J., Durnell, L., Ebbage, J. L., Jarrett, D. N., Neary, C., & Reed, M. A. (2004). Speed and accuracy of head- and eye-based aiming systems at high vertical acceleration. Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 75(5), 420-428

BACKGROUND The benefits of using a head tracker in a fast jet to aim weapons and control sensor direction have been amply demonstrated, but head direction is difficult to control at high G. An experiment was conducted to assess whether aiming usin... Read More about Speed and accuracy of head- and eye-based aiming systems at high vertical acceleration.
