Visualising muscle anatomy using three-dimensional computer models - an example using the head and neck muscles of Sphenodon (2009)
Journal Article

Visualising muscle anatomy using three-dimensional computer models - an example using the head and neck muscles of Sphenodon. Palaeontologia electronica, 12(3), Article 12.3.7TWe demonstrate how the computer-based technique of multi-body dynamics analysis (MDA) can be used to create schematic, but informative three-dimensional (3D) representations of complex muscle anatomy. As an example we provide an overview of the head... Read More about Visualising muscle anatomy using three-dimensional computer models - an example using the head and neck muscles of Sphenodon.

Electronic structure and optical properties of sb-based self-assembled quantum dots for the mid-infrared range (2009)
Thesis
Yeap, G. H. Electronic structure and optical properties of sb-based self-assembled quantum dots for the mid-infrared range. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209306Quantum dots (QDs) are zero-dimensional nanostructures that confined carriers in three dimensions comparable to their de Broglie wavelengths. Therefore, carriers exhibit δ-shaped energy levels and densities of states. Due to their band structure, QD...
