Path integral study of the role of correlation in exchange coupling of spins in double quantum dots and optical lattices (2008)

Zhang, Lei, Gilbert, Matthew, Pedersen, Jesper, Shumway, John

We explore exchange coupling of a pair of spins in a double dot and in an optical lattice. Our algorithm uses the frequency of exchanges in a bosonic path integral, evaluated with Monte Carlo. This...

Application of Large-scale Layout Optimization Techniques in Structural Engineering Practice (2005)

World Congresses Of, Matthew Gilbert, Wael Darwich, Andy Tyas, Paul Shepherd

A number of promising techniques which allow treatment of very large-scale plastic truss layout optimization problems incorporating multiple load cases, self weight and practical nodal stability...

Practical Plastic Layout Optimization of Trusses Incorporating Stability Considerations, accepted for publication in Computers and Structures (2005)

Andy Tyas, Matthew Gilbert, Thomas Pritchard

Frequently, the topologies generated using conventional discrete structural layout optimization methods may be shown to be in unstable equilibrium with the specified applied loading. Instability may...

Targeting Incretins in Type 2 Diabetes: Role of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and DPP-4 Inhibitors

Pratley, Richard E., Gilbert, Matthew

Until recently, the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been conceptualized in terms of the predominant defects in insulin secretion and insulin action. It is now recognized that...
