Sliding mode contouring control design using nonlinear sliding surface for three-dimensional machining (2012)
Journal Article
El Khalick M., A., Uchiyama, N., & Sano, S. (2013). Sliding mode contouring control design using nonlinear sliding surface for three-dimensional machining. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 65, 8-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2012.07.004

Machining accuracy as well as consumed energy saving are important issues in machining by multi-axis feed drive systems. The contour error, which is defined as the error component orthogonal to the desired contour curve, is a good indicator of machin...

Measures of body habitus are associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis: a population-based study (2012)
Journal Article
Forrester, D. L., Knox, A. J., Smyth, A. R., & Fogarty, A. W. (2013). Measures of body habitus are associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis: a population-based study. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 12(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcf.2012.08.008

Background Body habitus differences may explain some of the variation in lung function between individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). We tested the hypothesis that measures of lean muscle mass and obesity are independently associated with lung funct...
