A Novel Continuum Robot Using Twin-Pivot Compliant Joints: Design, Modeling, and Validation (2015)
Journal Article

A twisting problem is identified from the central located flexible backbone continuum robot. Regarding this problem, a design solution is required to mechanically minimize this twisting angle along the backbone. Further, the error caused by the kinem...

On the formation of AlSi10Mg single tracks and layers in selective laser melting: Microstructure and nano-mechanical properties (2015)
Journal Article

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a relatively new manufacturing technique that can be used to process a range of materials. Aluminum alloys are potential candidates for SLM but are more difficult to process than the titanium alloys more commonly used...

Cognitive behaviour therapy for non-cardiac pain in the chest (COPIC): a multicentre randomized controlled trial with economic evaluation (2015)
Journal Article

Background Most patients with chest pain have nothing wrong with their cardiac function. Psychological forms of treatment for this condition are more likely to be successful than others. Methods/design A two-arm parallel controlled randomize...

Impacts of dynamic interactions on the predicted thermal performance of earth–air heat exchangers for preheating, cooling and ventilation of buildings (2015)
Journal Article

Earth–air tunnel ventilation is an energy efficient ventilation technique that makes use of relatively stable soil temperature in shallow ground for preheating and cooling of supply air to a building. During operation, an earth–air heat exchanger int...

Picturing probation: exploring the utility of visual methods in comparative research (2015)
Journal Article

A previous review of research on the practice of offender supervision identified the predominant use of interview-based methodologies and limited use of other research approaches (Robinson and Svensson, 2013). It also found that most research has t... Read More about Picturing probation: exploring the utility of visual methods in comparative research.

Introducing the interaction approach for successful business relationships (2015)
Journal Article

Many countries in the world, including Croatia, are facing crises in their economies. There are numerous reasons for this situation, and problems of the business market present one of them. Nevertheless, successful business relationships are what kee... Read More about Introducing the interaction approach for successful business relationships.

Gendering the Settler State White Women, Race, Liberalism and Empire in Rhodesia, 1950-1980 (2015)
Book

White women cut an ambivalent figure in the transnational history of the British Empire. They tend to be remembered as malicious harridans personifying the worst excesses of colonialism, as vacuous fusspots, whose lives were punctuated by a series of...

The shear viscosity of carbon fibre suspension and its application for fibre length measurement (2015)
Journal Article

The viscosity of short carbon fibre suspensions in glycerol aqueous solution was measured using a bespoke vane-in-cup viscometer, where the carbon fibre has an aspect ratio from 450 to 2209. In the semi-concentrated regime, nL3 ranging from 20 to 440... Read More about The shear viscosity of carbon fibre suspension and its application for fibre length measurement.

Inter-group violence among early Holocene hunter-gatherers of West Turkana, Kenya (2015)
Journal Article

The nature of inter-group relations among prehistoric hunter-gatherers remains disputed, with arguments in favour and against the existence of warfare before the development of sedentary societies. Here we report on a case of inter-group violence tow... Read More about Inter-group violence among early Holocene hunter-gatherers of West Turkana, Kenya.

Surgical caseload and the risk of surgical Never Events in England (2015)
