Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whelan, J. C., & Visvalingam, M. (2003, June). Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain. Presented at Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics, TPCG 2003, Birmingham, UK

The mathematical definition of silhouettes within NPAR is based on the assumption that they are the eye-centered projections of occluding contours on an imaging plane. However, occluding contours are insufficient for sketching the silhouettes of hill... Read More about Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain.

An investigation of the sensitivity of embedded passive component temperatures to PCB structure (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stubbs, D. M., Pulko, S. H., & Wilkinson, A. J. An investigation of the sensitivity of embedded passive component temperatures to PCB structure

The embedding of passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors within printed circuit boards (PCBs) is motivated, to a large extent, by the desire for increased miniaturization of electronic goods. However, resistors and, to a lesser... Read More about An investigation of the sensitivity of embedded passive component temperatures to PCB structure.

Recovery of distal hole axis in intramedullary nail trajectory planning (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhu, Y., Phillips, R., Griffiths, J. G., Viant, W., Mohsen, A., & Bielby, M. Recovery of distal hole axis in intramedullary nail trajectory planning

In intramedullary nail (IMN) surgical operations, one of the main efforts for surgeons is to find the axes of two distal holes. Two distal holes on an IMN, which are inside the intramedullary canal of a patient's femur, can only be seen in a lateral...

Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fagan, M., Gillespie, P., Julian, S., Siddall, D., & Mohsen, A. Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine

A patient-specific finite element model of the spine is currently beingdeveloped to aid the surgeon in the diagnosis and clinical managementof spinal conditions1. To validate the application of the computermodel, a laboratory validation spine is bein... Read More about Development of an artificial intervertebral disc for laboratory test spine.

Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., Greenman, J., & McCollum, P. Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication represents a minor ischaemia reperfusion episode. Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen during such episodes is a concern to many vascular surgeons because of the theoretical risk of generating excess free radicals. We a...

The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction? (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.
