Dynamic effect of perfect preventive maintenance on system reliability and cost using HiP-HOPS (2010)
Journal Article
Nggada, S. H., Parker, D. J., & Papadopoulos, Y. I. (2010). Dynamic effect of perfect preventive maintenance on system reliability and cost using HiP-HOPS. IFAC Proceedings Volumes/ International Federation of Automatic Control, 43(17), 204-209. https://doi.org/10.3182/20100908-3-pt-3007.00039

The occurrence of failure in a safety critical engineering system can be reduced through the use of preventive maintenance (PM). Each time a component of the system is maintained its effective age is reduced; the extent of this age reduction depends...

Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Reiser, M., Weber, M., Chen, D., Törngren, M., …Sandberg, A. (2010). Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels. . https://doi.org/10.1145/1772643.1772646

In this paper, we describe a concept for the automatic allocationof general Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) to subsystems andcomponents of complex hierarchical networked architectures thatdeliver sets of safety critical functions. The concept is gener... Read More about Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels.

A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Papadopoulos, Y., & Walker, M. (2010). A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora. . https://doi.org/10.1145/1772630.1772634

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a popular safety analysis technique used to determine the logical combination of events needed to cause a particular system failure. However, FTA is purely combinatorial and cannot analyse the effects of sequences of even... Read More about A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora.

Facial expressions and emotional anticipation (2010)
Journal Article
Palumbo, L., & Jellema, T. (2010). Facial expressions and emotional anticipation. Perception, 39(ECVP Abstract Supplement), 94 - 94

Emotional facial expressions are immediate indicators of a ective dispositions. We investigated towhat extent judgments of others' dynamic emotional facial expressions are influenced by (1) emotionalanticipation, ie the involuntary anticipation of th...

Measuring the three-phase contact angle of nanoparticles at fluid interfaces (2010)
Journal Article
Arnaudov, L. N., Cayre, O. J., Cohen Stuart, M. A., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2010). Measuring the three-phase contact angle of nanoparticles at fluid interfaces. Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 12(2), 328-331. https://doi.org/10.1039/b917353f

We report a generic technique to image and study the wettability of spherical nanoparticles adsorbed at liquid surfaces and demonstrate that nanoparticle monolayers can be imprinted at air-water and oil-water interfaces and their three-phase contact...

Performance, drama and spectacle in the medieval city: essays in honour of Alan Hindley (2010)
Book
Tudor, A., Emerson, C., & Longtin, M. (2010). A. Tudor, M. Longtin, & C. Emerson (Eds.). Performance, drama and spectacle in the medieval city: essays in honour of Alan Hindley. Leuven, Belgium: Peeters Publishers

The growth of urban life in the Middle Ages led to a flourishing of performance, drama and spectacle as we understand them today. Here is presented, for the first time, a collection of commissioned essays whose goal is to bring together a broad varie...

Humanitarianism and modern culture (2010)
Book
Tester, K. (2010). Humanitarianism and modern culture. Penn State University Press

It seems paradoxical that in the West the predominant mode of expressing concern about suffering in the Third World comes through participation in various forms of popular culture-such as buying tickets to a rock concert like Live Aid in 1985-rather...

Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve walking distance in patients with symptomatic lower limb arterial disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2010)
Journal Article
Shahin, Y., Mazari, F., & Chetter, I. (2011). Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve walking distance in patients with symptomatic lower limb arterial disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. International journal of surgery, 9(3), 209-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsu.2010.12.006

Background Several studies have reported the clinical effects of long-term treatment with cardioprotective medications in patients with lower limb peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in terms of reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A numbe... Read More about Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve walking distance in patients with symptomatic lower limb arterial disease?
