  • Catalytic gold nano-particles 
    Cortie Michael; Van Der Lingen Elma (Institute of Materials Engineering Australasia Ltd, 2002)
    Although gold is the most inert of all metallic elements, it has interesting properties as a heterogeneous catalyst. There are a number of curious aspects to catalysis by gold that are currently attracting academic ...
  • Decomposition of wavelength dispersive X-ray spectra 
    Fialin Michel; Remond Guy; Nockolds Clive; Myklebust Robert; Phillips Matthew; Roques-Carmes Claude (US Government Printing Office, 2002)
    Line shapes of atomic lines and soft x-ray emission bands measured with a wavelength dispersive spectrometer (WDS) with the Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) are reviewed. Least square fitting to pseudo-Voigt ...
  • Hardness and colour trends across the 76 weight % Au section of the Au-Cu-Al system 
    Levey F; Cortie Michael; Cornish Lesley (Pergamon, 2002)
    Colour and hardness were measured on a series of alloys along the 76 wt.% Au line of the Au-Cu-Al system. Complex, non-monotonic behaviour was observed, which is shown to be correlated with microstructural changes. The ...
  • Implications of polishing techniques in quantitative X-ray microanalysis 
    Nockolds Clive; Phillips Matthew; Remond Guy; Roques-Carmes Claude (US Government Printing Office, 2002)
    Specimen preparation using abrasives results in surface and subsurface mechanical (stresses, strains), geometrical (roughness), chemical (contaminants, reaction products) and physical modifications (structure, texture, ...
  • A new algorithm for the estimation of the frequency of a complex exponential in additive Gaussian noise 
    Reisenfeld Sam; Aboutanios Elias (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2003)
    This letter presents a new algorithm for the precise estimation of the frequency of a complex exponential signal in additive, complex, white Gaussian noise. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based algorithm performs ...
  • Bayesian inference of nanoparticles-broadened X-ray line profiles 
    Bonevich, J. E.; Armstrong, N. G.; Cline, J. P.; Kalceff, W. (US Government Printing Office, 2004)
    A single-step, self-contained method for determining the crystallite-size distribution and shape from experimental x-ray line profile data is presented. It is shown that the crystallite-size distribution can be determined ...
  • A hybrid boundary condition for robust particle swarm optimization 
    Huang Tony; Sanagavarapu Ananda (IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, 2005)
    The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is a powerful stochastic evolutionary algorithm that can be used to find the global optimum solution in a complex search space. However, it has been observed that there ...
  • Cost discrepancy, signaling and risk taking 
    Lemon Jim (College of Health Education and Human Development, Clemson University, 2005)
    If risk taking is in some measure a signal to others by the person taking risks. the model of "costly signaling" predicts that the more the apparent cost of the risk to others exceeds the perceived cost of the risk to ...
  • Conduction, storage, and leakage in particle-on-SAM nanocapacitors 
    Zareie Hadi; Ekanayake Sobhath; Cortie Michael; Ford Michael (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005)
    Individual gold nanoparticles exhibit discrete capacitances of the order of 1 aF, and they can be tethered to a conductive substrate using a bi-functional monolayer of a suitable organic molecule. However the conduction, ...
  • Investigation of the optical properties of hollow aluminium 'nano-caps' 
    Liu Jingquan; Mccredie Geoffrey; Ford Michael; Wieczorek Lech; Cortie Michael (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2005)
    A colloidal suspension of hollow aluminium, cap-shaped nanoparticles (‘nano-caps’) can be conveniently produced by evaporation of aluminium onto a spin-coated layer of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs), followed by ...
  • One Small Step Toward a Culture of Peer Review and Multi-Institutional Sharing of Educational Resources: A Multiple Choice Exam for First Semester Programming Students 
    Lister Raymond (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    This paper presents a multiple choice question exam, used to test students completing their first semester of programming. Assumptions in the design of the exam are identified. A detailed analysis is performed on ...
  • Geo-LPM: An efficient Scheme for Locating Nodes in the Internet 
    Le Thi Hong Hanh; Hoang Doan; Simmonds Andrew (Telecommunication Society of Australia, 2005)
  • A comparison of two different methods for time-motion analysis in team sports 
    Dogramaci Sera; Watsford Mark (University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, 2006)
    Time-motion analysis has been extensively used to provide an insight into the movement patterns of athletes in team sports. However, few studies have indicated whether analysis involved breaks in play, or all the activities ...
