Accurate quantification of the influence of benthic macro- and meio-fauna on the geometric properties of estuarine muds by micro computer tomography (2007)
Journal Article
Mazik, K., Curtis, N., Fagan, M. J., Taft, S., & Elliott, M. (2008). Accurate quantification of the influence of benthic macro- and meio-fauna on the geometric properties of estuarine muds by micro computer tomography. Journal of experimental marine biology and ecology, 354(2), 192-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2007.11.006

This paper describes the novel application of high resolution micro computer tomography (microCT) to the quantification of the properties of marine biogenic structures. CT scanning has been used to examine sediments in the past but the resolution of...

Peak wall stress measurement in elective and acute abdominal aortic aneurysms (2007)
Journal Article
Heng, M. S., Fagan, M. J., Collier, J. W., Desai, G., McCollum, P. T., & Chetter, I. C. (2008). Peak wall stress measurement in elective and acute abdominal aortic aneurysms. Journal of vascular surgery, 47(1), 17-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2007.09.002

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture occurs when wall stress exceeds wall strength. Engineering principles suggest that aneurysm diameter is only one aspect of its geometry that influences wall stress. Finite element analysis considers...

Conduction-band crossover induced by misfit strain in InSb/GaSb self-assembled quantum dots (2007)
Journal Article
Rybchenko, S. I., Gupta, R., Lai, K. T., Itskevich, I. E., Haywood, S. K., Tasco, V., Deguffroy, N., Baranov, A. N., & Tournié, E. (2007). Conduction-band crossover induced by misfit strain in InSb/GaSb self-assembled quantum dots. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 76(19), 0 - 0. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.76.193309

We address the occurrence of conduction-band crossover in III-V self-assembled quantum dots solely due to misfit strain. Band structure analysis in terms of standard deformation-potential theory shows that Γ-X crossover can occur in the dot, while bo...

Importance of aspect ratio over shape in determining the quantization potential of self-assembled zinc-blende III-V quantum dots (2007)
Journal Article
Rybchenko, S. I., Yeap, G., Gupta, R., Itskevich, I. E., & Haywood, S. K. (2007). Importance of aspect ratio over shape in determining the quantization potential of self-assembled zinc-blende III-V quantum dots. Journal of applied physics, 102(1), 013706. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2752127

We have studied the effect of shape on the strain-modified electron/hole confinement potential in zinc-blende quantum dots (QDs), using standard deformation potential theory and an anisotropic continuum-elasticity approximation. Calculations were per... Read More about Importance of aspect ratio over shape in determining the quantization potential of self-assembled zinc-blende III-V quantum dots.

Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy (2007)
Journal Article
Fagan, M. J., Ell, S. R., Gilbert, J. M., Sarrazin, E., & Chapman, P. M. (2008). Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy. Medical engineering & physics, 30(4), 419-425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2007.05.003

Surgical voice restoration post-laryngectomy has a number of limitations and drawbacks. The present gold standard involves the use of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) valve to divert air from the lungs into the throat, which vibrates, and from thi...
