This paper emphasizes the necessity of formally bringing qualitative and quantitative criteria of ergonomic design together, and provides a novel complementary design framework with this aim. Within...
Ramsden, Jeremy J., Figueira, Catarina, Nellis, Joseph G.
The paper investigates efficiency in national banking systems by fitting the so-called simple canonical law, a generalization of Zipf’s law, to publicly available data. This law is expected to be...
The application of niobium and tantalum oxides for implant surface passivation. (2007)
Starikov, V. V., Starikova, S. L., Mamalis, A. G., Lavrynenko, S. N., Ramsden, Jeremy J.
Despite the advantages of ceramics, with their high corrosion stability in vivo, most medical implant constructions are still made from metals [1]. To increase the corrosion stability of metals,...
The rôle of biology, physics and chemistry in human health. (2007)
Health is a perennially dominant preoccupation of man, and must have been so since the earliest days of his existence. One of the most ancient ritualized statements is “To your good health!”, the...
A novel concept for the manufacture of individual sapphire-metallic hip joint endoprostheses. (2006)
Mamalis, A. G., Ramsden, Jeremy J., Grabchenko, A. I., Lytvynov, L. A., Filipenko, V. A., Lavrynenko, S. N.
At the present time, artificial joints made with metallic, ceramic, metal-polymeric or ceramicpolymeric friction pairs substituting for the natural biomechanic articulations "head of the hip...

A thin film of porphyrin deposited by the layer-by-layer method is employed as the active element for an optical sensor. The usefulness of this film technology and the resulting nanoscale matrix for...
Brintrup, Alexandra Melike, Takagi, Hideyuki, Tiwari, Ashutosh, Ramsden, Jeremy J.
We propose a sequential interactive genetic algorithm (IGA), multi-objective IGA and parallel IGA, and evaluate them with both simulated and real users. Combining human evaluation with an...

Abstract- The conceptofqualitativeness in design is an important one, and needs to be incorporated in the optimization process for a number of reasons outlined in this paper. Interactive Evolutionary...
In situ observation of the evolution of porous silicon interference filter characteristics. (2005)
Volk, J., Ferencz, K., Ramsden, Jeremy J., Tóth, A. L., Bársony, I.
Porous silicon multilayer formation was observed by in situ monitoring of the reflectivity spectra in the visible range. In order to reproduce the formation process optical model simulation was...
The efficiency of chemical detectors. (2003)
Manghani, S., Ramsden, Jeremy J.
Chemical detectors (“sensors”) usually consist of a two-dimensional array of receptors exposed to the solution to be tested, from whose output the bulk solution concentration of the analyte of...
Myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 induces the release of nitric oxide from microglial cells. (2002)
Shanshiashvili, L., Pichkhadze, B., Machaidze, G., Ramsden, Jeremy J., Mikeladze, D.
Continuous (24 h) exposure of mixed oligodendrocyte/microglial cells to peptides 45–89 derived from citrullinated C8 isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) induces cell death. In contrast, MBP-C8...
On adsorption-induced denaturation of folded proteins. (2001)
Fernández, Ariel, Ramsden, Jeremy J.
In the absence of intramolecular long range interactions, the extended local conformation of a peptide chain is entropically favoured over compact ones, since the area of the Ramachandran basin of...
Ball, Vincent, Lustig, Ariel, Ramsden, Jeremy J.
The adsorption kinetics of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) in the presence of NaSCN at pH 7.4 onto Si0.8Ti0.2O2 surfaces were measured by means of time-resolved optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy...
