Pin-on-plate studies on the effect of rotation on the wear of metal-on-metal samples (2001)
Journal Article
Scholes, S., & Unsworth, A. (2001). Pin-on-plate studies on the effect of rotation on the wear of metal-on-metal samples. Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 12(4), 299-303. https://doi.org/10.1023/a%3A1011238902803

An important cause of osteolysis and subsequent loosening of replacement hip joints is the body's biological response to polyethylene wear debris. Interest has thus been renewed in hard bearing surfaces such as metal-on-metal implants. Tests were per...

An Improved Error Bound for a Finite Element Approximation of a Model for Phase Separation of a Multi-Component Alloy with a Concentration Dependent Mobility Matrix (2001)
Journal Article
Barrett, J., & Blowey, J. (2001). An Improved Error Bound for a Finite Element Approximation of a Model for Phase Separation of a Multi-Component Alloy with a Concentration Dependent Mobility Matrix. Numerische Mathematik, 88(2), 255-297. https://doi.org/10.1007/pl00005445

Using a slightly different discretization scheme in time and adapting the approach in Nochetto et al. (1998) for analysing the time discretization error in the backward Euler method, we improve on the error bounds derived in (i) Barrett and Blowley (...

Metal ion sensing using ultrathin organic films prepared by the layer-by-layer adsorption technique (2001)
Journal Article
Pearson, C., Nagel, J., & Petty, M. (2001). Metal ion sensing using ultrathin organic films prepared by the layer-by-layer adsorption technique. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 34(3), 285-291. https://doi.org/10.1088/0022-3727/34/3/306

Bilayer films of poly(ethyleneimine) and poly(ethylene-co-maleic acid) have been prepared using the layer-by-layer assembly technique. These films have been characterized using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Exposure to aqueous solutions of metal a...

Raman and finite-element analysis of a mechanically strained silicon microstructure (2001)
Journal Article
Bowden, M., Gardiner, D., Wood, D., Burdess, J., Harris, A., & Hedley, J. (2001). Raman and finite-element analysis of a mechanically strained silicon microstructure. Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 11(1), 7-12. https://doi.org/10.1088/0960-1317/11/1/302

Raman microspectroscopy has been used to determine the volumetric micro-strain distribution in mechanically stressed silicon microstructures. Data are presented as strain images with a spatial resolution of around 0.8 µm. A useful correlation is demo...

Partitioning Program into Hardware and Software (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Qin, S., & He, J. (2001, December). Partitioning Program into Hardware and Software. Presented at Eighth Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2001), Macao

Hardware and software co-design is a design technique which delivers computer systems comprising hardware and software components. A critical phase of the codesign process is to decompose a program into hardware and software.. This paper proposes an... Read More about Partitioning Program into Hardware and Software.

Constructing Hardware/software Interface Using Protocol Converters (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Qin, S., Qiu, Z., & He, J. (2001, December). Constructing Hardware/software Interface Using Protocol Converters. Presented at Second Asia-Pacific Conference on Quality Software (APAQS 2001), Hong Kong

Hardware/software partition is a critical phase in hardware/software co-design. This paper proposes a hybrid partitioning framework, in which we design a set of protocol converters to construct the nterface component between the hardware and software...
