Journal Article
King, S., Hintschich, S., Dai, D., Rothe, C., & Monkman, A. (2007). Spiroconjugation-enhanced intramolecular charge-transfer state formation in a polyspirobifluorene homopolymer. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 111(50), 18759-18764. https://doi.org/10.1021/jp0755138

In this work we demonstrate the complex excited-state behavior of polyspirobifluorene in the solid state, which, due to the interaction of the spiroconjugated side group, readily forms a charge-transfer (CT) excited state of lower energy than the sin...

Reticulon 4a (Rtn4a) is a membrane protein that shapes tubules of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER is attached to the nuclear envelope (NE) during interphase and has a role in post mitotic/meiotic NE reassembly. We speculated that Rtn4a has a r...

Complex fault patterns, i.e. faults which exhibit a diverse range of strikes, may develop under conditions where a regional tectonic stress field is weak or absent (e.g. polygonal faults). The present paper considers a complex system of synsedimentar... Read More about A mechanical model for complex fault patterns induced by evaporite dehydration and cyclic changes in fluid pressure.

Amphibole “sponge” in arc crust? (2007)
Journal Article
Davidson, J., Turner, S., Handley, H., Macpherson, C., & Dosseto, A. (2007). Amphibole “sponge” in arc crust?. Geology, 35(9), 787-790. https://doi.org/10.1130/g23637a.1

Pressure-temperature-time paths followed by arc magmas ascending through the lithosphere dictate the phase assemblage that crystallizes, and hence the compositions of liquid fractionates. Here we use La/Yb and Dy/Yb versus SiO2 relationships from sel... Read More about Amphibole “sponge” in arc crust?.

Element-based preconditioners for elasto-plastic problems in geotechnical engineering (2007)
Journal Article

Iterative solvers are widely regarded as the most efficient way to solve the very large linear systems arising from finite element models. Their memory requirements are small compared to those for direct solvers. Consequently, there is a major intere...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaquin, P., Augarde, C., & Gerrard, C. (2007, August). Historic rammed earth structures in Spain: construction techniques and a preliminary classification. Presented at International Symposium on Earthen Structures, Bangalore

Conservation and repair of historic rammed earth sites should only be undertaken if there is a good understanding of the consequences of any intervention technique. Until recently there has been little interest in the characterisation of historic ram...

At mitosis nuclear pore complexes are dismantled and membranes disperse. The mechanism of dispersal i... Read More about Nuclear membrane disassembly and rupture.

Direct measurement of critical nucleus size in confined volumes (2007)
Journal Article

In crystallization, the critical nucleus size is of pivotal importance. Above this size, it is favorable for the new crystalline phase to form; below this size, the clusters will tend to dissolve rather than grow. To date, there has been no direct me...
