Dispersoid and grain size effects on fatigue crack growth in AA2024-type alloys
(2000-01-01)Fatigue crack growth resistance is known to be influenced by a combination of intrinsic materials behaviour and crack shielding processes. In metallic alloys, shielding due to crack closure is known to be important, however, ... -
Design principles from traditional mountain irrigation systems (bisses) in the Valais, Switzerland
(1999-05)The bisses are a traditional mountain irrigation system constructed in response to periodic water deficit during the summer months in the Valais canton of Switzerland. The origins of the bisse system can be traced back to ... -
A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig and sample geometry effect in four-point bend fatigue
(1999-10)A self-aligning four-point bend testing rig was designed and made which can minimise the possible misalignment associated with a four-point bend test and be used to study the fatigue of materials both at room and elevated ... -
Assessment of the fatigue life in relation to cylinder-nozzle corner cracks
(1991)Based on former studies this paper deals with both the front shape variation of nozzle corner cracks and the calculation of crack propagation rates. An approximate method describing fatigue crack growth at nozzle corners ... -
Approximate expressions of maximum value of stress intensity factor of nozzle corner cracks
(1988-01-01)Based on the flat plate-nozzle model loaded by uniform uniaxial tension, through some suitable reduction and approximation, the maximum value of stress intensity factor (K) along a crack front can be expressed by the weight ... -
An approximate expression of KImax for sphere/nozzle corner cracks
(1996-08-01)Based on the flat-nozzle model loaded by uniform biaxial tension, using the O-integral of the weight function method and introducing suitable free-surface correcting factors M, M, and a curvature correcting factor M, an ... -
Multimodal security enforcement framework for wireless ad hoc networks
(ACM Press, 2009)Securing wireless ad hoc networks in an untrustworthy open environment is always a challenging problem. Lack of central auditing on security and weak incentive for cooperation among nodes in an open network scenario demand ... -
Pharmacotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2011-11-01)We present a narrative review of evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), covering first-line pharmacological treatment, augmentation strategies, approaches for treatment-refractory OCD and the ... -
Explorations of a crisis intervention service
(1987)Descriptive studies of a crisis intervention service replicated previous findings of relationships between staff members' attitudes towards treatment and their 'personal styles'. The attitudes and personal styles of crisis ... -
Personal styles, constructive alternativism and the provision of a therapeutic service
(1985)A series of studies on the 'personal styles' of clients and therapists is reviewed, and their findings are drawn together within the framework of personal construct theory. It is argued that the technical eclecticism of ... -
Intersectional Sensibilities in Analysing Inequality Regimes in Public Sector Organizations
(2011-09)Using Acker's conceptual framework of inequality regimes, this article explores the experiences of Bangladeshi, Caribbean and Pakistani women working in three parts of the public sector: health, local government and higher ... -
Belief in Ghosts in Post-War England
(2011-11-29)This project examined, by qualitative investigation, the actual content and mechanics of ghost beliefs in Britain today. Through questionnaire, personal interview, and email correspondence, the beliefs and experiences ... -
Stellar and Gas Kinematics in the core and bar regions of M100
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)Two-dimensional maps of the stellar and gas kinematics of the bar and starbursting circumnuclear region in the barred spiral galaxy M100 are presented. In this progress report, we present maps of the total intensity, mean ... -
Reading "24" : TV against the clock
(I.B. Tauris, 2007)When the series of ‘24’ began screening in 2001, Time magazine branded it one of the 'Best Television Events of the Decade'. The series has since made itself known as both pioneering and controversial which has changed the ... -
Connecting science KS3 in 2 years : Teacher's guide
(Hodder Education, 2009)This text is a highly relevant guide for schools who are following a condensed Key Stage 3 curriculum, covering all necessary material. The accompanying Teacher's Guide gives advice on planning progression, demonstrating ... -
Physics for 4-year-olds : Promoting open and focussed exploration for young children in everyday contexts
(Sense Publishers, 2008)This chapter, and the initiative it describes, is a result of the authors’ work in training teachers both at a pre-service level (initial teacher training) and in continuing professional development with practicing teachers. ... -
