Book Chapter
Kong, G., McCartney, D. G., & Brown, P. D. (2004). The application of tripod polishing and focused ion beam milling to the TEM specimen preparation of HVOF thermally sprayed coatings. In S. McVitie, & D. McComb (Eds.), Electron microscopy and analysis 2003: proceedings of the Institute of Physics Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group Conference, University of Oxford, 3-5 September 2003.

The microstructure of high velocity oxy fuel thermally sprayed coatings is highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous. Tripod polishing has enabled the preparation of samples with up to 0.5mm diameter electron transparent areas, where a statistically signi...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., & Aickelin, U. (2004). 'The application of Bayesian Optimization and Classifier Systems in Nurse Scheduling'.

Abstract. Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person's assignment. Unlike our previous work of using genetic algorit... Read More about 'The application of Bayesian Optimization and Classifier Systems in Nurse Scheduling'.

Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice (2004)
Journal Article
Lowrie, F. M., Behnke, J. M., & Barnard, C. J. (2004). Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice. Journal of Helminthology, 78(2), 121-128. https://doi.org/10.1079/JOH2003230

The spirurid nematode, Protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. Since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. Laboratory mice (BKW)...

A correlated current-voltage (I-V), electron beam induced conductivity (EBIC) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of Au contacts to KOH treated n-type GaN is presented. A strong degradation of I-V characteristics occurs following the KO... Read More about Correlation of electrical and structural properties of Au contacts to KOH treated n-GaN.

Anticipatory Accounts (2004)
Journal Article
Murphy, E. (2004). Anticipatory Accounts. Symbolic Interaction, 27(2),

C. Wright Mills called for a truly sociological analysis of actors’ “motive talk,” which decouples the commonsense link between the reasons actors give for their actions and their mental state prior to those actions. Subsequent theoretical and empiri... Read More about Anticipatory Accounts.

Self-archiving publications (2004)
Book Chapter
Pinfield, S. (2004). Self-archiving publications. In G. Gorman, & F. Rowland (Eds.), International Yearbook of Library and Information Management 2004/2005: Scholarly Publishing in an Electronic Era. Facet Publishing

This chapter discusses the historical development, current practice and future prospects of the self-archiving of research papers in open-access repositories (so-called 'e-print archives'). It describes how the development of interoperable e-print re... Read More about Self-archiving publications.

Psychosocial interventions and the demoralisation of humanitarianism (2004)
Journal Article

Summary: This paper critically analyses from a political sociology standpoint the international conceptualization of war-affected populations as traumatized and in need of therapeutic interventions. It argues for the importance of looking beyond the... Read More about Psychosocial interventions and the demoralisation of humanitarianism.

War on the couch: the emotionology of the new international security paradigm (2004)
Journal Article

The emotional state of war-affected populations has become a central concern for international policy-makers over the last decade. Growing interest in war trauma is influenced by contemporary Anglo-American emotionology, or emotional norms, which ten...

We present a novel approach to the dynamics of reactions of diffusing chemical species with species fixed in space e.g. by binding to a membrane. The non-diffusing reaction partners are clustered in areas with a diameter smaller than the diffusion length... Read More about Stability of membrane bound reactions.

Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect (2004)
Journal Article

Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Cubero et al (1999) of
a DNA duplex containing the 'rogue' base difluorotoluene (F) in place of a
thymine (T) base show that breathing events can occur on the nanosecond
timescale, whereas breathing ev... Read More about Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect.
