Book Chapter
Phang, S., Benson, T. M., Susanto, H., Creagh, S. C., Gradoni, G., Sewell, P. D., & Vukovic, A. (2016). Theory and numerical modelling of parity-time symmetric structures in photonics: Introduction and grating structures in one dimension. In A. Agrawal, T. M. Benson, R. De La Rue, & G. Wurtz (Eds.), Recent trends in computational photonics (161-205). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55438-9_6

A class of structures based on PT PT-symmetric Bragg gratings in the presence of both gain and loss is studied. The basic concepts and properties of parity and time reversal in one-dimensional structures that possess idealised material properties are...

Book Chapter
Crook, K., & Crook, C. (2016). Multi-modal opportunities with digital tools: the example of narrated photographs. In A. Marcus-Quinn, & T. Hourigan (Eds.), Handbook on digital learning for K-12 schools. Springer Science+Business Media

This paper explores recent encouragement to cultivate in students a sensitivity towards the ‘multi-modal’ nature of human communication. We consider what this means for educational practice and, in particular, how such an imperative might be addresse...

There are a number of auditory symptom syndromes that can develop without an organic basis. Some of these, such as nonorganic hearing loss, affect populations similar to those presenting with functional somatosensory and motor symptoms, while others,...
