Endogenous choice of price or quantity contract and the implications of two-part-tariff in a vertical structure (2015)
Journal Article

We re-investigate the endogenous choice of price (Bertrand) and quantity (Cournot) contract in the presence of a vertically related upstream market for input. We find that choosing price contract is the dominant strategy for downstream firms when the...

Catalytic reductive N-alkylation of amines using carboxylic acids (2015)
Journal Article

We report a catalytic reductive alkylation reaction of primary or secondary amines with carboxylic acids. The two-phase process involves silane mediated direct amidation followed by catalytic reduction.

Uncertainty and variability in models of the cardiac action potential: Can we build trustworthy models? (2015)
Journal Article

Cardiac electrophysiology models have been developed for over 50 years, and now include detailed descriptions of individual ion currents and sub-cellular calcium handling. It is commonly accepted that there are many uncertainties in these systems, wi...

Material characterization and finite element modelling of cyclic plasticity behavior for 304 stainless steel using a crystal plasticity model (2015)
Journal Article

Low cycle fatigue tests were carried out for a 304 stainless steel at room temperature. A series of experimental characterisations, including SEM, TEM, and XRD were conducted for the 304 stainless steel to facilitate the understanding of the mechanic...
