The fate of steroid estrogens: Partitioning during wastewater treatment and onto river sediments (2010)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Scrimshaw, M. D., Cartmell, E., & Lester, J. N. (2010). The fate of steroid estrogens: Partitioning during wastewater treatment and onto river sediments. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 175, 431–441. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-010-1541-1

The partitioning of steroid estrogens in wastewater treatment and receiving waters is likely to influence their discharge to, and persistence in, the environment. This study investigated the partitioning behaviour of steroid estrogens in both laborat...

Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings (2010)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., Elnashai, A. S., & Pantazopoulou, S. J. (2010). Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings. Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 14(5), 743-770. doi:10.1080/13632460903410764

This article presents a novel approach for deriving Retrofit Design Spectra (RDS) that are intended for use in preliminary development and assessment of seismic upgrading scenarios of existing structures. The new spectral representation relates the c... Read More about Design and assessment spectra for retrofitting of RC buildings.

Intelligent thermoregulation and homeostasis: lessons from nature (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Worall, M. (2010). Intelligent thermoregulation and homeostasis: lessons from nature.

Mankind has developed sophisticated means of maintaining comfortable living conditions around the world. We use many technologies that allow us to achieve thermoregulation and homeostasis and so live, work and survive in otherwise hostile environment...

The effects of microstructural features on the performance gap in corrosion resistance between bulk and HVOF sprayed Inconel 625 (2010)
Journal Article
Ahmed, N., Bakare, M., McCartney, D., & Voisey, K. (2010). The effects of microstructural features on the performance gap in corrosion resistance between bulk and HVOF sprayed Inconel 625. Surface and Coatings Technology, 204(14), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2009.12.028

It is commonly observed that there is a performance gap between the corrosion resistance of thermally sprayed coatings and the equivalent bulk material. This is attributed to the significantly modified microstructure of the sprayed coatings. However,...

CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow (2010)
Journal Article
Morgan, S., Hayes-Gill, B., & Crowe, J. (2010). CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow. Optics and Photonics News, 21(1), 32-37. https://doi.org/10.1364/OPN.21.1.000032

Smart CMOS sensors can extract parameters of interest from incoming signals at the sensor and therefore overcome the data bottleneck between sensor and processor. This enables full-field laser Doppler blood flow imaging to be obtained at a frame rate... Read More about CMOS sensors for imaging blood flow.

Investigation into the effect of beam shape on melt pool characteristics using analytical modelling (2010)
Journal Article
Ahmed, N., Voisey, K., & McCartney, D. (2010). Investigation into the effect of beam shape on melt pool characteristics using analytical modelling. Optics and Lasers in Engineering, 48, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optlaseng.2009.12.013

An established analytical model is used to simulate an extended laser beam. Multiple Gaussian sources are superimposed to form a rectangular beam and results are compared with a single circular Gaussian source model as well as experimental results fr...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the passive films formed on thermally sprayed and wrought Inconel 625 (2010)
Journal Article
Bakare, M., Voisey, K., Roe, M., & McCartney, D. (2010). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the passive films formed on thermally sprayed and wrought Inconel 625. Applied Surface Science, 257(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2010.07.066

There is a well known performance gap in corrosion resistance between thermally sprayed corrosion resistant coatings and the equivalent bulk materials. Interconnected porosity has an important and well known effect, however there are additional relev...
