Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Li, Q. (2005). Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces. In Proceeding. Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2005), 109 - 114

In conventional spline geometric shape design, each part of a designed object always evolves the same number of con trol points. This has been a disadvantage of the spline based geometric shape design schemes as much more points than necessary may be...

The development and evaluation of a virtual radiotherapy treatment machine using an immersive visualisation environment (2005)
Journal Article
Bridge, P., Appleyard, R. M., Ward, J. W., Philips, R., & Beavis, A. W. (2007). The development and evaluation of a virtual radiotherapy treatment machine using an immersive visualisation environment. Computers & education, 49(2), (481-494). doi:10.1016/j.compedu.2005.10.006. ISSN 0360-1315

Due to the lengthy learning process associated with complicated clinical techniques, undergraduate radiotherapy students can struggle to access sufficient time or patients to gain the level of expertise they require. By developing a hybrid virtual en...

Computer assisted orthopaedic surgical system for insertion of distal locking screws in intra-medullary nails: a valid and reliable navigation system (2005)
Journal Article
Malek, S., Phillips, R., Mohsen, A., Viant, W., Bielby, M., & Sherman, K. (2005). Computer assisted orthopaedic surgical system for insertion of distal locking screws in intra-medullary nails: a valid and reliable navigation system. International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, 1(4), (34-44). doi:10.1002/rcs.54. ISSN 1478-5951

The insertion of distal locking screws is a difficult task in intra-medullary (IM) nailing operations of long bones and contributes a significant proportion to the overall operating time. The current technique to insert these screws uses numerous flu...

Constructive implicit fitting (2005)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Griffiths, J. G., & Ward, J. (2005). Constructive implicit fitting. Computer aided geometric design, 23(1), 17-44. doi:10.1016/j.cagd.2005.04.011

In this paper, we present a constructive method for fitting both an explicit and an implicit curve or surface to a set of scattered points by using gate functions. With this technique, the data are first partitioned with geometric primitives into sma...

The classification of flats in PG (9, 2) which are external to the grassmannian script G sign1,4,2 (2005)
Journal Article
Gordon, N. A., Maks, J. G., & Shaw, R. (2005). The classification of flats in PG (9, 2) which are external to the grassmannian script G sign1,4,2. Designs, codes, and cryptography, 34(2-3), 203-227. doi:10.1007/s10623-004-4855-6

Constructions are given of different kinds of flats in the projective space$$PG(9,2)={\mathbb P}(\wedge^{2}V(5,2))$$which are external to the Grassmannian$${\cal G}_{\bf 1,4,2}$$of lines ofPG(4,2). In particular it is shown that there exist precisely...

Experiences of embedding Information Technology into discipline based teaching (2005)
Journal Article
(2005). Experiences of embedding Information Technology into discipline based teaching. Innovation in teaching and learning in information and computer sciences, 4(1), 1-9. doi:10.11120/ital.2005.04010002

In this paper we will reflect upon some of the experiences that the author had whilst supporting the embedding of Information Technology (I.T.) into a U.K. mathematics department’s undergraduate teaching. The paper includes some examples of the...
