Trace carbon in biomedical beta-titanium alloys: recent progress
Owing to their relatively low Young's modulus, high strength, good resistance to corrosion, and excellent biocompatibility, β-titanium (Ti) alloys have shown great potential for biomedical...

Today's lithium(Li)-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely adopted as the power of choice for small electronic devices through to large power systems such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or electric...
View ArticleStochastic factors controlling the failure of carbon/epoxy composites
The intrinsic scatter in tensile properties of unidirectional (UD) carbon/epoxy composites is due to several factors, including variability in fibre strength and fibre volume fraction at the local...
View Article(In Pess) Electrical discharge grinding versus abrasive grinding in...
Electrical discharge grinding (EDG) and conventional abrasive grinding are two different methods to machine polycrystalline diamond (PCD) with different removal mechanisms. This paper discussed the...
View ArticleSuccessful recanalization post endovascular therapy is associated with a...
© 2015 Wang et al. Background: The risks of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) post intra-arterial therapy (IAT) for stroke are not well understood. We aimed to study the influence of recanalization status...
View ArticleParity effect and single-electron injection for Josephson junction chains...
We have made a systematic investigation of charge transport in one-dimensional chains of Josephson junctions where the characteristic Josephson energy is much less than the single-junction Cooper-pair...

Two new tetraphenylethene-core-substituted naphthalene diimides (TPE-cNDI) were synthesized through linking one and two TPE, where TPE acts both as an electron-donor for ICT and also display the...
View Article(In Press) Characterization of the interactions within fine particle mixtures...
This paper aims to summarize recent investigations into the dispersion of fine particles, and the characterization of their interactions, in concentrated suspensions. This summary will provide a better...
View ArticleExploring the influence of chief executive officer professional development...
Understanding the value the right chief executive officer selection and tenure choices can bring to an organisation is under researched in legal jurisdictions such as Australia where there is strong...
View ArticleEstablishing and maintaining social connectivity: An understanding of the...
Objective: To better understand how to plan for an ageing demographic that resides in ever-changing community typologies. Design: Semi-structured in-depth interviews. Setting: Community settings in...
View ArticleEnhanced electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries with nanoporous...
Nanoporous anatase TiO2 (np-TiO2) electrodes have been developed via the anodization of titanium foils in fluoride containing electrolytes, and its application in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries...
View ArticleExtensional viscosity of copper nanowire suspensions in an aqueous polymer...
Suspensions of copper nanowires are emerging as new electronic inks for next-generation flexible electronics. Using a novel surface acoustic wave driven extensional flow technique we are able to...
View ArticleVisual speech recognition using optical flow and support vector machines
A lip-reading technique that identifies visemes from visual data only and without evaluating the corresponding acoustic signals is presented. The technique is based on vertical components of the...
View ArticleNatural products for chronic cough: Text mining the East Asian historical...
Chronic cough is a significant health burden. Patients experience variable benefits from over the counter and prescribed products, but there is an unmet need to provide more effective treatments....
View ArticleLagrangian formulation of irreversible thermodynamics and the second law of...
We show that the equations which describe irreversible evolution of a system can be derived from a variational principle. We suggest a Lagrangian, which depends on the properties of the normal and the...
View ArticleThe impact of strategic market entry considerations on the financial...
While anecdotal evidence exists that many Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) have failed due to a range of factors, it is also clear that some Chinese OFDI has been very successful. There...
View ArticleAustralian specific bank features and the impact of income diversification on...
Since financial market deregulation, Australian banks have significantly diversified from a dependence on simple products such as interest-bearing loans to a broader range of financial products...
View Article'You have to choose a novel': The biopolitics of critical management education
In this article, we engage empirically with the biopolitical nature of pedagogic practice in critical management education. We do so through considering the effects of employing literary fiction in an...
View ArticleDuplication and divergence effect on network motifs in undirected...
Duplication and divergence are two basic evolutionary mechanisms of bio-molecular networks. Real-world bio-molecular networks and their statistical characteristics can be well mimicked by artificial...
View ArticleThe effects of multilateral trading systems on risk and return in equity markets
The event study methodology of Brown and Warner (1985) is adopted and augmented to evaluate the effect of the launch of multilateral trading systems on risk and return in equity markets. The...
