Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span (2005)
Journal Article
Conlin, J., Gathercole, S., & Adams, J. (2005). Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span. Quarterly journal of experimental psychology. A, 58(8), 1434-1446. https://doi.org/10.1080/02724980443000683

Two experiments investigated the impact of the relationship between processing and storage stimuli on the working memory span task performance of children aged 7 and 9 years of age. In Experiment 1, two types of span task were administered (sentence... Read More about Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span.

The apparent paradox of abundant foramol facies in low latitudes: their environmental significance and effect on platform development (2005)
Journal Article
*Wilson, M., & Vecsei, A. (2005). The apparent paradox of abundant foramol facies in low latitudes: their environmental significance and effect on platform development. Earth-Science Reviews, 69(1-2), 133-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2004.08.003

Recent studies of low-latitude carbonates from SE Asia and Australia have revealed deposits and platform-types that do not fit easily into the perceived view of ‘warm-water’ tropical carbonates. The sediments are classified as a foramol or foralgal f...

The search for efficient intramolecular proton transfer from carbon: the kinetically silent intramolecular general base-catalysed elimination reaction of O-phenyl 8-dimethylamino-1-naphthaldoximes (2005)
Journal Article
Asaad, N., Davies, J., Hodgson, D., Kirby, A., van Vliet, L., & Ottavi, L. (2005). The search for efficient intramolecular proton transfer from carbon: the kinetically silent intramolecular general base-catalysed elimination reaction of O-phenyl 8-dimethylamino-1-naphthaldoximes. Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry, 18(2), 101-109. https://doi.org/10.1002/poc.858

The ready elimination of phenol/phenoxide from the O-phenyl oxime 10E derived from 8-dimethylamino-1-naphthaldehyde, necessarily involving proton transfer from carbon, is catalysed by the neighbouring NMe2 group at pH > 9. However, reaction is faster...

Fattening children or fattening farmers? School milk in Britain, 1921-1941. The introduction of school milk in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century was a relatively slow process. This article seeks to understand state and private sector... Read More about Fattening children or fattening farmers? School milk in Britain, 1921-1941.

Motion prediction for caching and prefetching in mouse-driven DVE navigation (2005)
Journal Article
Chan, A., Lau, R. W., & Ng, B. (2005). Motion prediction for caching and prefetching in mouse-driven DVE navigation. ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, 5(1), 70-91. https://doi.org/10.1145/1052934.1052937

A distributed virtual environment (DVE) allows geographically separated users to participate in a shared virtual environment via connected networks. However, when the users are connected by the Internet, bandwidth limitation and network latency may s... Read More about Motion prediction for caching and prefetching in mouse-driven DVE navigation.

Solar thermal water pumps : a preliminary analysis of the working process (2005)
Journal Article
Mahkamov, K., & Orda, E. (2005). Solar thermal water pumps : a preliminary analysis of the working process. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 127(1), 29-36. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1767191

Solar thermal water pumps are low cost and low maintenance devices with a pumping capacity of 0.2-1 m3/hour at a dynamic head of 1.5–5 m. The working fluid in the thermodynamic cycle is an air-steam mixture. In this paper we suggest a simple mathemat...

On decoupled and fully-coupled methods for blade forced response prediction (2005)
Journal Article
Moffatt, S., & He, L. (2005). On decoupled and fully-coupled methods for blade forced response prediction. Journal of Fluids and Structures, 20(2), 217-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2004.10.012

Two highly efficient fully-coupled methods of predicting the resonant forced response of turbomachinery blades have been developed with the intention of increased computational efficiency over a decoupled method. The flow and structural equations are... Read More about On decoupled and fully-coupled methods for blade forced response prediction.

Design aspects of compliant, soft layer bearings for an experimental hip prosthesis (2005)
Journal Article
Scholes, S., Unsworth, A., Blamey, J., Burgess, I., Jones, E., & Smith, N. (2005). Design aspects of compliant, soft layer bearings for an experimental hip prosthesis. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 219(2), 79-87. https://doi.org/10.1243/095441105x9318

Currently, an artificial hip joint can be expected to last, on average, in excess of 15 years with failure due, in the majority of cases, to late aseptic loosening of the acetabular component. A realistic alternative to the problem of wear in convent... Read More about Design aspects of compliant, soft layer bearings for an experimental hip prosthesis.

Wave interpolation finite elements for Helmholtz problems with jumps in the wave speed (2005)
Journal Article

Finite elements for short wave scattering problems have recently been developed by various authors. These have almost exclusively dealt with the Helmholtz equation. The elements have been very successful, in terms of drastic reductions of the number... Read More about Wave interpolation finite elements for Helmholtz problems with jumps in the wave speed.
