Influence of screw holes and gamma sterilization on properties of phosphate glass fiber-reinforced composite bone plates (2011)
Journal Article

Polymers prepared from polylactic acid (PLA) have found a multitude of uses as medical devices. For a material that degrades, the main advantage is that an implant would not necessitate a second surgical event for removal. In this study, fibers produ...

Application of airborne LiDAR data and airborne multispectral imagery to structural mapping of the upper section of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus (2011)
Journal Article

Structural maps are traditionally produced by mapping features such as faults, folds, fabrics, fractures and joints in the field. However, large map areas and the spatially limited ground perspective of the field geologist can potentially increase th...

Widefield heterodyne interferometry using a custom CMOS modulated light camera (2011)
Journal Article

In this paper a method of taking widefield heterodyne inter- ferograms using a prototype modulated light camera is described. This custom CMOS modulated light camera (MLC) uses analogue quadrature demodulation at each pixel to output the phase and am...

Enhancement of soil thermo-physical properties using microencapsulated phase change materials for ground source heat pump applications (2011)
Journal Article

Soil can be modified with Phase Change materials (PCM) in order to enhance its thermophysical properties and energy storage for ground source heat pump applications. This paper studies thermo-physical properties of soil modified with different amount...

Thermophysical optimization of specialized concrete pavement materials for collection of surface heat energy and applications for shallow heat storage (2011)
Journal Article

There is great potential to use pavement structures to collect and/or store solar energy for the heating and cooling of adjacent buildings, e.g. airport terminals, shopping malls, etc. Therefore, pavement materials comprising both conventional and un...

Carbon nanotube/titanium dioxide (CNT/TiO2) core-shell nanocomposites with tailored shell thickness, CNT content and photocatalytic/photoelectrocatalytic properties (2011)
Journal Article

Combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with TiO2 at the nano-scale level can promote the separation of the electron-hole charges generated upon irradiation. However, charge separation capability depends on the quality of the interfacial contact between CN...

Ergonomically sound (2011)
Other

Medical devices are used by a multiplicity of users and in a variety of environments. Manufacturers of these devices will therefore need to be aware of differences in skills, needs, abilities and preferences among users, as well as the requirements t... Read More about Ergonomically sound.

Global Interventions for Seismic Upgrading of Substandard RC Buildings (2011)
Journal Article

A methodology is developed in this paper for the design and proportioning of interventions for seismic upgrading of substandard reinforced-concrete (RC) buildings. The retrofit approach is presented in the form of a simple design tool that aims towa... Read More about Global Interventions for Seismic Upgrading of Substandard RC Buildings.

Abrasive wear behaviour of conventional and large-particle tungsten carbide-based cermet coatings as a function of abrasive size and type (2011)
Journal Article

Abrasive wear behaviour of materials can be assessed using a wide variety of testing methods, and the relative performance of materials will tend to depend upon the testing procedure employed. In this work, two cermet type coatings have been examined...
