Trends in UK deaths associated with abuse of volatile substances, 1971-2009
(International Centre for Drug Policy, 2012-11-16)This report outlines the current trends, examines the nature of the problems, and identifies the factors associated with deaths from abuse of volatile substances occurring in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2009. It also ... -
Human - Machine Interaction and Simulation Models Used in Aviation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-12-07)This paper discusses tools and methods for modeling, simulation and parameter identification of human-machine systems. The main focus is on the application of these models in the aviation field, especially airplane or ... -
The Use of Psychotherapy in Supporting People with Intellectual Disabilities Who Have Experienced Bereavement
(2013-01-30)This study aimed to build an understanding of the internal and external factors that affect the bereavement process in people with intellectual disabilities (PWID). This was achieved by drawing on my previously published ... -
Load sequence effect on fatigue damage
(2012)Reliable damage tolerant design of airframe structures relies on the accurate life prediction of fatigue cracks propagating from a detectable size to the critical size, which is challenging due to the complex load sequence ... -

Thick Microporous Silicon Layers Etching Involving p(+)n Back Side Hole Injection in Highly Resistive n-Type Substrates
(2011)Anodization studies on low-doped n-type silicon in aqueous electrolytes have systematically shown the formation of macropores. In this paper, we show the possibility to produce microporous silicon in low-doped n-type ... -
On the use of vibration parameters for the estimation of damage in laminated composite plates
(2010-01-01)The dynamic response of a structure depends on the system's particular characteristics, namely its mass, stiffness and damping properties. Vibration-based damage detection techniques assume that damage will induce a local ... -
Metal-Free Disordered Vertical Sub-Micron Silicon Wires Produced from Electrochemical p-Type Porous Silicon Layers
(2011)In this paper, we propose a simple, original and costless method to produce monocrystalline silicon sub-micron wires by electrochemical etching of silicon wafers. For this purpose, 30-50 Omega cm p-type silicon samples ... -
Writing Design : Words and Objects
(Berg Publishers, 2012)This text encourages readers to consider how we learn about the objects that surround us. Besides seeing and making use of objects through the senses, we also learn via language, in the written and spoken word. This includes ... -
