Variational Integrators and the Newmark Algorithm for Conservative and Dissipative Mechanical Systems (1999)

C. Kane, J. E. Marsden, M. Ortiz, M. West

The purpose of this work is twofold. First, we demonstrate analytically that the classical Newmark family as well as related integration algorithms are variational in the sense of the Veselov...

Colon perforation after renal transplantation: a single-institution review (1997)

Lledo-Garcia, E, Benedetti, E, West, M, Hakim, N S, Sutherland, D E, ...

West, M.

This paper considers the impact of economic integration on wages and employment in a second-best world where countries are identical in all respects. It is first shown that international trade...

Economic appraisal of maintenance parenteral iron administration in treatment of anaemia in chronic haemodialysis patients (1996)

Sepandj, F., Jindal, K., West, M., Hirsch, D.

Background. Iron deficiency is common in haemodialysis patients and adequate supplementation by the oral or parenteral route has been limited by drug side-effects, absorption, and cost. Intermittent...
