Journal Article
Boulemden, A., Ritzmann, T., Liptrot, S., Abbas, A., & Makhdoomi, K. R. (2013). Modified prone position to dissect the popliteal fossa. Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 95(2), 110-112. https://doi.org/10.1308/003588413X13511609955779

Introduction: Traditionally, the prone position is used for dissecting the popliteal fossa, which requires endotracheal intubation. Access to the airway in this position is limited, hence the complications. It is not surprising that the prone positio... Read More about Modified prone position to dissect the popliteal fossa.

Identifying road defect information from smartphones (2013)
Journal Article
Byrne, M., Parry, T., Isola, R., & Dawson, A. (2013). Identifying road defect information from smartphones. Road and Transport Research Journal, 22(1), 39-50

Defect repair, for example potholes, is one of the most common and expensive tasks of road maintenance. One of the difficulties of this form of asset management is in identifying these defects early. Although a defect may take many years to initiate,... Read More about Identifying road defect information from smartphones.
