Ion irradiation and thermally induced mixing of CoCrPt∕Cr multilayered films (2007)
Journal Article
Georgieva, M. T., Grundy, P. J., & Telling, N. D. (2007). Ion irradiation and thermally induced mixing of CoCrPt∕Cr multilayered films. Applied Physics Letters, 90(4), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2432256

A set of
multilayered films with variable layer thicknesses has been used in an investigation of interlayer mixing and “patterning” of samples with relatively high coercivity and in-plane magnetization. The multilayers with the highest coercivitie... Read More about Ion irradiation and thermally induced mixing of CoCrPt∕Cr multilayered films.

Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community (2007)
Journal Article
McKay. (2007). Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community. Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, 265 - 278. https://doi.org/10.1080/14442210600979357

As migration and mobility produce new subject positions, they transform and extend locality and create both new subjective experiences of place and new subjectivities. This paper explores the culture of circulation that emerges between a migrant send... Read More about Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community.

Neuroevolution of agents capable of reactive and deliberative behaviours in novel and dynamic environments (2007)
Journal Article
Channon. (2007). Neuroevolution of agents capable of reactive and deliberative behaviours in novel and dynamic environments. Lecture notes in computer science, 345 - 354. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-74913-4_35

Both reactive and deliberative qualities are essential for a good action selection mechanism. We present a model that embodies a hybrid of two very different neural network architectures inside an animat: one that controls their high level deliberati...

Obesity is linked to knee osteoarthritis (OA) and knee pain. These are disabling problems that are more prevalent in older adults. No prospective study has estimated the impact of excess weight avoidance on the occurrence of knee pain in the general...

Duty, desire or indifference? A qualitative study of patient decisions about recruitment to an epilepsy treatment trial (2006)
Journal Article
Canvin. (2006). Duty, desire or indifference? A qualitative study of patient decisions about recruitment to an epilepsy treatment trial. Trials, https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-7-32

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition, in which drugs are the mainstay of treatment and drugs trials are commonplace. Understanding why patients might or might not opt to participate in epilepsy drug trials is therefore of some importance, part... Read More about Duty, desire or indifference? A qualitative study of patient decisions about recruitment to an epilepsy treatment trial.

Foot pathology in patients with Paget's disease of bone. (2006)
Journal Article

The characteristic bone deformities associated with advanced Paget's disease of bone may result in abnormal gait and plantar foot pressures, which contribute to the development of pressure-related skin problems. This study aimed to characterize the f... Read More about Foot pathology in patients with Paget's disease of bone..

Recent debate and literature have provided impetus to the growing body of thought that we should not model the midtarsal joint as having two simultaneous axes of rotation but as having a single instantaneous axis of rotation. Building on this concept... Read More about Clinical and experimental models of the midtarsal joint: proposed terms of reference and associated terminology..

Isolation of genes controlling apoptosis through their effects on cell survival (2006)
