Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students (2001)
Journal Article
Armitage, A. (2001). Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students. International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, 38, 338-347

Although widely used in the solution of engineering problems, multitasking is conceptually as complicated as parallel processing. A simple system that covers the key features of multitasking in a short time is presented. A description is given of its...

Energy use and transport correlation linking personal and travel related energy uses to the urban structure (2001)
Journal Article
Cooper, J., Ryley, T., Smyth, A., & Granzow, E. (2001). Energy use and transport correlation linking personal and travel related energy uses to the urban structure. Environmental Science and Policy, 4(6), 307-318. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1462-9011%2801%2900030-2

This paper considers relationships between sustainability objectives, transport, spatial design of the built environment and rational use of energy. Conventional transport modelling, housing supply and energy assessment tools are drawn together to pr...

Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels (2001)
Journal Article
Koukouvaos, A., & Kubie, J. (2001). Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 215(10), 1189-1210. https://doi.org/10.1177/095440620121500105

The paper presents experimental and theoretical investigation of the outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels incorporating a vertical downcomer. In such vessels the liquid leaving through the outlet of the downcomer is replaced by another fluid... Read More about Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels.

A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers (2001)
Book Chapter
McQuaid, R. W., & Greig, M. (2001). A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers. In D. Pitfield (Ed.), Transport Planning, Logistics and Spatial Mismatch (152-166). Pion

The ability or willingness of unemployed people to travel further to a new job will affect the level of mismatch between job seekers and jobs (Brueckner and Martin 1997; Gabriel and Rosenthal, 1996; Holzer, 1991). Empirical evidence suggests that a r... Read More about A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers.

Field-induced anomalous changes in Cr/a-Si:H/V thin film structures (2001)
Journal Article
Hu, J., Snell, A. J., Hajto, J., Rose, M. J., & Edmiston, W. (2001). Field-induced anomalous changes in Cr/a-Si:H/V thin film structures. Thin Solid Films, 396(1-2), 242-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0040-6090%2801%2901188-9

Experimental results on the electronic properties of conditioned Cr/hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)/V thin film devices are presented. The devices under test were electro-formed, and had resistances in the range from several hundred Ohms to s... Read More about Field-induced anomalous changes in Cr/a-Si:H/V thin film structures.

Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. (2001)
Journal Article
Ng, K., Fairfield, C. A., & Sibbald, A. (2001). Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 79, 31-37

There are approximately 75,000 masonry arch bridges in the UK, most of which were built between 1700 and 1900 and are now carrying traffic loads far beyond those envisaged by the original designers and builders. A question has to be asked as to wheth... Read More about Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction..
