Identity Construction and Trust Building in Developiong International Collaborations (2009)

Zhang, Y., Huxham, C.

The authors argue that international collaborations are both vehicles for wider strategic change and development and contexts within which individuals pursue a process of development and change to...

Comparison of algorithms and parameterisations for infiltration into organic-covered permafrost soils (2009)

Y. Zhang, S. K. Carey, W. L. Quinton, J. R. Janowicz, G. N. Flerchinger

Infiltration into frozen and unfrozen soils is critical in hydrology, controlling active layer soil water dynamics and influencing runoff. Few Land Surface Models (LSMs) and Hydrological Models (HMs)...

Shape memory characteristics of a near beta titanium alloy (2009)

Yu, Z., Wang, G., Ma, X., Zhang, Y., Dargusch, M. S.

Bending tests have been used to investigate the shape memory effect of a near β type Ti3Zr2Sn3Mo15Nb titanium alloy. The effects of heat treatments, deformation temperature, deformation strain and...
