In 1921 Sir Berkeley Moynihan invited 28 surgeons to come to Leeds with the intention of forming a club of members 'in practice not associated with teaching hospitals'. In 1909 he had founded a similar club to unite surgeons practising in provincial teaching hospitals and the success of this club encouraged him in the new venture. These two Moynihan foundations may have been the first travellin...

This paper presents an LS-DYNA ® simulation of the impact event when a golf club hits a golf ball. This is a challenging subject for finite element simulations because it is characterized by high strain rate behavior: the impact occurs within milliseconds and the golf ball experiences very large deformation during this period because of the ball’s polymeric shell and core. The simulation strate...

Community structure identification has been one of the most popular research areas in recent years due to its applicability to the wide scale of disciplines. To detect communities in varied topics, there have been many algorithms proposed so far. However, most of them still have some drawbacks to be addressed. In this paper, we present an agent-based based community detection algorithm. The alg...

Improving the information retrieval (IR) performance of peer-to-peer networks is an important and challenging problem. Recently, the computer science literature has attempted to address this problem by improving IR search algorithms. However, in peer-to-peer networks, IR performance is determined by both technology and user behavior, and little attention has been paid in the literature to impro...
