  • Characterisation of weathering of Sydney sandstones in heritage building 
    Ip Kin Hong; Stuart Barbara; Ray Abhi (Elsevier, 2003)
    "Yellow block" sandstone, a colloquial expression used for a locally quarried variety of sandstone, has made an important contribution to the cultural and architectural heritage of Australia's largest city, Sydney. The ...
  • Characterization of adipocere formation in animal species 
    Stuart Barbara; Forbes Shari; Fenwick-Mulcahy Sarah; Dent Boyd (Australian Human Resources Institute, 2001)
    Adipocere is a soft white substance formed postmortem from fatty tissue in a decomposing body. In this preliminary study the formation of adipocere in soil was investigated for a number of animal species. Adipocere was ...
  • Characterization of the triacylglycerol crystal formation in adipose tissue during a vehicle collision 
    Stuart Barbara; Notter Stephanie; Langlois Neil; Maynard Philip; Ray Abhi; Berkahn Mark (Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
  • A Comparison Of Thermal-induced And Solvent-induced Relaxation Of Poly(ether Ether Ketone) Using Fourier-transform Raman-spectroscopy 
    Briscoe Brian; Stuart Barbara; Thomas Paul; Williams Diana (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 1991)
    The paper describes a study of the application of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy as a means of identifying the extent of the surface plasticisation of a poly(ether ether ketone) by a known plasticising solvent, ...
  • Discrimination of thermally treated low density polyethylenes using DSC and principal component analysis 
    Yang Liu; Thomas Paul; Stuart Barbara (Akademiai Kiado Rt, 2012)
    The potential for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as a tool for the discrimination of forensic polymer specimens is investigated for a series of commercial low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples. Variation in the ...
  • DSC characterisation of compression moulded PEEKPTFE plaques 
    Thomas Paul; Stuart Barbara (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003)
    Compression moulded plaques of a range of poly( ether ether ketone) (PEEK)- poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) blends (100,92,48,29,9.5 and °mass% PEEK) have been characterised using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) ...
  • The effect of body coverings on the formation of adipocere in an aqueous environment 
    Notter Stephanie; Stuart Barbara (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2012)
    Adipocere is a postmortem decomposition product that consists of a mixture of fatty acids. The rate of formation of adipocere from pig adipose tissue in an aqueous environment has been monitored. The effect of various ...
  • The effect of soil type on adipocere formation 
    Forbes Shari; Dent Boyd; Stuart Barbara (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2005)
    Adipocere refers to a postmortem product which forms from body fat in the later stages of decomposition. Factors present in the surrounding decomposition environment will influence adipocere formation and may accelerate ...
