Fast assembly of fock matrices utilising symmetry properties of the basis set (1973)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Hylton, J. (1973). Fast assembly of fock matrices utilising symmetry properties of the basis set. Chemical Physics Letters, 18(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2614%2873%2980475-0

A method of assembling the elements of the Fock matrix is described which is a modification of that due to Dacre. Lists of symmetry equivalent one-electron integrals are used as pointers to abbreviate the process of collecting two-electron integrals...

The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs (1973)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Prentice, J. A. (1973). The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs. Computer Physics Communications, 5(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/0010-4655%2873%2990029-5

A strategy is described for a controlling algorithm (‘the job’) to schedule and supply many data sets (‘problems’) to a large, long-running applications program. The algorithm also controls very closely the run time environment of each problem and pr... Read More about The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs.

The OPIT system part I. (1973)
Journal Article
Packer, J. C., & Brailsford, D. F. (1973). The OPIT system part I. Computer Physics Communications, 5,

The OPIT program is briefly described. OPIT is a basis-set-optimising, self-consistent field, molecular orbital program for calculating properties of closed-shell ground states of atoms and molecules. A file handling technique is then put forward whi... Read More about The OPIT system part I..

Symmetry properties of one- and two- electron molecular integrals (1971)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Hall, G. G. (1971). Symmetry properties of one- and two- electron molecular integrals. International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, V,

The maximum numbers of distinct one- and two-electron integrals that arise in calculating the electronic energy of a molecule are discussed. It is shown that these may be calculated easily using the character table of the symmetry group of the set of... Read More about Symmetry properties of one- and two- electron molecular integrals.

Electric field strengths and ion trajectories in sharp-edge field ionization sources (1970)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F. (1970). Electric field strengths and ion trajectories in sharp-edge field ionization sources. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 3,

On the presumption that a sharp edge may be represented by a hyperbola, a conformal transformation method is used to derive electric field equations for a sharp edge suspended above a flat plate. A further transformation is then introduced to give el... Read More about Electric field strengths and ion trajectories in sharp-edge field ionization sources.

Calculated ionization potentials of the linear alkanes (1970)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Ford, B. (1970). Calculated ionization potentials of the linear alkanes. Molecular Physics, 18(5),

The equivalent orbital (EO) method is investigated and used for predicting outer and inner ionization potentials of the linear alkanes. The calculated ionization potentials are in good agreement with those observed in photoelectron spectra provided t... Read More about Calculated ionization potentials of the linear alkanes.

Experimental investigation of the use of sharp edges for the production of positive ions in field-ionization mass spectrometry (1968)
Journal Article
Blenkinsop, P., Job, B., Brailsford, D. F., Cross, C., & Robertson, A. (1968). Experimental investigation of the use of sharp edges for the production of positive ions in field-ionization mass spectrometry. International journal of mass spectrometry and ion processes, 1(6), 421-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/0020-7381%2868%2985019-3

Various commercial razor blades have been tested for field ionization performance and compared with edges prepared electrochemically from platinum and tungsten foils. The results are correlated with data obtained from electron micrographs of the vari...

Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge (1968)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Robertson, A. J. B. (1968). Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge

Sharp edges were first used for field ionisation mass spectrometry by Beckey. Although Cross and Robertson found that etched metal foils were more effective than razor blades for field ionisation, blades are very convenient for determination of field...

Wagner's Siegfried act III scene 1: a study in 'renunciation of the will' and the 'sublime'
Journal Article
Bell, R. H. Wagner's Siegfried act III scene 1: a study in 'renunciation of the will' and the 'sublime'

In Wagner’s composition of Der Ring des Nibelungen, Siegfried Act III Scene 1 marks a significant milestone both in terms of its drama and its music. Wagner’s first significant work on the Ring was his sketch of 4 October 18482 but with the purpose o...

An “in the wild” longitudinal cross-site study of networked public displays user communities through situated snapshots
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Memarovic, N., Schieck, A. F. G., Schnädelbach, H., Kostopoulou, E., North, S., & Ye, L. (2016). An “in the wild” longitudinal cross-site study of networked public displays user communities through situated snapshots. . Manuscript submitted for publication

Networked public displays are a new medium, and as such they can improve the quality and experience of urban spaces by providing new means to engage members of place-based communities. As they are located in different public spaces understanding comm...

Unprecedented growth and circulation of Chinese international students cannot be fully understood unless the roles of host societies including diaspora Chinese communities are taken into account. This chapter draws attention to a phenomenon of local... Read More about Chinese student mobility, local engagement and transformation of Chinese communities in England: an empirical study.
