Does the valve-regulated release of urine from the bladder decrease encrustation and blockage of indwelling catheters by crystalline Proteus mirabilis biofilms? (2005)
Journal Article
Sabbuba, N., Stickler, D., Long, M., Dong, Z., Short, T., & Feneley, R. (2005). Does the valve-regulated release of urine from the bladder decrease encrustation and blockage of indwelling catheters by crystalline Proteus mirabilis biofilms?. The Journal of Urology, 173(1), 262-266. https://doi.org/10.1097/01.ju.0000141139.76350.49

We tested whether valve regulated, intermittent flow of urine from catheterized bladders decreases catheter encrustation. Materials and Methods Laboratory models of the catheterized bladder were infected with Proteus mirabilis. Urine was allowed to d...

Industry and the engineering student : a marriage made in heaven? (2003)
Journal Article
Short, T., Garside, J., & Appleton, E. (2003). Industry and the engineering student : a marriage made in heaven?. Global journal of engineering education, 7(1), 77-86

Engineering can be one of the most rewarding careers available to graduates, requiring continued problem solving and the application of theory learned at university. Despite this, many engineering courses fail to make use of the opportunities availab... Read More about Industry and the engineering student : a marriage made in heaven?.

Breaking the mould : solar water pumping - the challenges and the reality (2003)
Journal Article
Short, T., & Thompson, P. (2003). Breaking the mould : solar water pumping - the challenges and the reality. Solar Energy, 75(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0038-092x%2803%2900233-0

Solar (photovoltaic) powered water pumping has the potential to bring sustainable supplies of potable water to millions of people in developing countries. Unfortunately, in many cases the application of the pump technology ignores the sociological an... Read More about Breaking the mould : solar water pumping - the challenges and the reality.

Solar powered water pumps : the past, the present - and the future? (2003)
Journal Article
Short, T., & Oldach, R. (2003). Solar powered water pumps : the past, the present - and the future?. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 125(1), 76-82. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1528923

Solar (photovoltaic) powered water pumps could be a real instrument for the alleviation of water related deaths and illnesses in developing countries through the provision of clean water. However, despite the benefits that access to sustainable potab... Read More about Solar powered water pumps : the past, the present - and the future?.

The benefits of induced flow solar powered water pumps (2003)
Journal Article
Short, T., & Burton, J. (2003). The benefits of induced flow solar powered water pumps. Solar Energy, 74(1), 77-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0038-092x%2803%2900105-1

This paper presents the case for using a novel type of solar water pump—the ‘induced flow’ pump. This type of pump is shown to be particularly appropriate for use with small, stand-alone units of up to 500 Wp, an area in which traditional solar power...
