‘... I have a client who is now 22 weeks pregnant whose appeal for asylum was rejected last year, I understand on grounds of being 2 days overdue in her application. She is very vulnerable, has no partner, speaks little English, has no means of income, and is living in very poor conditions in a ‘flat’ above a derelict factory in Hackney. The premises has no electricity, or hot water, and is not...

Spin-charge-orbital ordered structures in doped layered manganites are investigated using an orbital-degenerate double-exchange model tightly coupled to Jahn-Teller distortions. In the ferromagnetic phase, unexpected diagonal stripes at x = 1/m ( m = integer) are observed, as in recent experiments. These stripes are induced by the orbital degree of freedom, which forms a staggered pattern in th...

This paper may be regarded as a new numerical method for the analysis of triangular thin plates using the natural area coordinates. Previous studies on the solution of triangular plates with different boundary conditions are mostly based on the Rayleigh-Ritz principle which is performed in the Cartesian coordinates. Consequently, manipulation of the geometry and numerical calculation of the int...

Machine tool calibration can be employed to optimise path trajectories through on- and off-line compensation of anticipated deflections, which result from a process plan, assess the machine tools capability comply with geometric dimensions tolerances plan. This work presents measurement for identification static quasi-static rotational stiffness joint 5-axis machining centres. shall serve as ba...
