Joseph Conrad and psychological medicine: a review essay (2004)
Journal Article
Dryden, L. (2004). Joseph Conrad and psychological medicine: a review essay. Conradiana, 35, 259-67

The essay is a review of Martin Bock's Joseph Conrad and Psychological Medicine that discusses recent approaches to Conrad sudies by way of contextualising Bock's book.

Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods (2004)
Journal Article
Watson, J. N., Uchaipichata, N., Addison, P., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., Eftestol, T., & Steen, P. A. (2004). Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods. Resuscitation, 63(3), 269-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2004.06.012

We report an improved method for the estimation of shock outcome prediction based on novel wavelet transform-based time-frequency methods. Wavelet-based peak frequency, energy, mean frequency, spectral flatness and a new entropy measure were studied...

Neural activity pattern systems (2004)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2005). Neural activity pattern systems. Neurocomputing, 65, 531-536. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2004.10.041

Understanding how neural systems work needs appropriate models. Here we propose a model that describes neural systems in terms of abstract communication systems. We indicate how to apply the proposed framework to the analysis of real neural systems.

A design tool for predicting the performances of light pipes (2004)
Journal Article
Jenkins, D., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2005). A design tool for predicting the performances of light pipes. Energy and Buildings, 37(5), 485-492. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2004.09.014

Light pipes are simple means of directing daylight (diffuse and direct light) into interior spaces. Previous work by the authors described the initial work on a luminous flux and illuminance predictive model for straight light pipes, using a basic eq...

Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure (2004)
Journal Article
Moore, J. R., & Maguire, D. A. (2005). Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure. Trees - Structure and Function, 19(4), 363-373. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00468-004-0387-y

Natural frequency and damping ratio were measured for nine plantation-grown Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. Franco) trees from the Oregon Coast Range under different levels of crown removal. Natural frequency of trees, in both their unpruned... Read More about Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure.

Assessment of errors induced by the anomalous dispersion of high frequency shear waves in rheometrical measurements on gelling systems (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Ravji, S., Hawkins, K., Al-Hussany, A., Williams, P., & Williams, R. (2004). Assessment of errors induced by the anomalous dispersion of high frequency shear waves in rheometrical measurements on gelling systems. Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 124(1-3), 11-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnnfm.2004.07.007

The principal objectives of the work reported in this paper were two-fold. Firstly, to assess, by means of the numerical simulation of transverse wave propagation within a linear viscoelastic medium, the degree to which wavegroup propagation involvin...

Cavitation Properties of Oils Under Dynamic Stressing by Tension (2004)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2004). Cavitation Properties of Oils Under Dynamic Stressing by Tension. Journal of Fluids Engineering, 127(2), 282. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1881692

We report measurements of the effective tensile strength FcFc of commercial “multigrade” oils (in the SAE viscosity grades 5W-30 and 10W-40) over a range of temperatures TT, which are representative of those encountered under their normal operating c...

Cavitation and the tensile strength of liquids under dynamic stressing (2004)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2004). Cavitation and the tensile strength of liquids under dynamic stressing. Molecular Physics, 102(19-20), 2091-2102. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268970412331292786

This paper discusses the differences between the results of various measurements of the effective tensile strength (F c ) of liquids in experiments involving a pulse of tension (‘negative pressure’) created by the reflection of a pressure pulse at a...
