Journal Article
Foster, C. (in press). Developing mathematical fluency: comparing exercises and rich tasks. Educational Studies in Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-017-9788-x

Achieving fluency in important mathematical procedures is fundamental to students’ mathematical development. The usual way to develop procedural fluency is to practise repetitive exercises, but is this the only effective way?This paper reports three...

New models for energy beam machining enable accurate generation of freeforms (2017)
Journal Article
Axinte, D. A., Billingham, J., & Guillerna, A. B. (in press). New models for energy beam machining enable accurate generation of freeforms. Science Advances, 3(9), Article e1701201. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1701201

We demonstrate that, despite differences in their nature, many energy beam controlled-depth machining processes (e.g. waterjet, pulsed laser, focused ion beam) can be modelled using the same mathematical framework – a partial differential evolution e...

Given a certain amount of entanglement available as a resource, what is the most efficient way to accomplish a quantum task? We address this question in the relevant case of continuous variable quantum teleportation protocols implemented using two-mo...

The logic of the floral transition: reverse-engineering the switch controlling the identity of lateral organs (2017)
Journal Article
Dinh, J.-L., Farcot, E., & Hodgman, C. (in press). The logic of the floral transition: reverse-engineering the switch controlling the identity of lateral organs. PLoS Computational Biology, 13(9), Article e1005744. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005744

Much laboratory work has been carried out to determine the gene regulatory network (GRN) that results in plant cells becoming flowers instead of leaves. However, this also involves the spatial distribution of different cell types, and poses the quest...

Bayesian inferences of the thermal properties of a wall using temperature and heat flux measurements (2017)
Journal Article
Iglesias, M., Sawlan, Z., Scavino, M., Tempone, R., & Wood, C. J. (2018). Bayesian inferences of the thermal properties of a wall using temperature and heat flux measurements. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 116, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2017.09.022

The assessment of the thermal properties of walls is essential for accurate building energy simulations that are needed to make effective energy-saving policies. These properties are usually investigated through in-situ measurements of temperature an...

The bacterial Lux system is used as a gene expression reporter. It is fast, sensitive and non-destructive, enabling high frequency measurements. Originally developed for bacterial cells, it has also been adapted for eukaryotic cells, and can be used... Read More about Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters.

Early afterdepolarisation tendency as a simulated pro-arrhythmic risk indicator (2017)
Journal Article

Drug-induced Torsades de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmia is of major interest in predictive toxicology. Drugs which cause TdP block the hERG cardiac potassium channel. However, not all drugs that block hERG cause TdP. As such, further understanding of the m... Read More about Early afterdepolarisation tendency as a simulated pro-arrhythmic risk indicator.

POVM construction: a simple recipe with applications to symmetric states (2017)
Journal Article

We propose a simple method for constructing POVMs using any set of matrices which form an orthonormal basis for the space of complex matrices. Considering the orthonormal set of irreducible spherical tensors, we examine the properties of the construc...

In the upscaling from pore- to continuum (Darcy) scale, reaction and deposition phenomena at the solid-liquid interface of a porous medium have to be represented by macroscopic reaction source terms. The effective rates can be computed, in the case o... Read More about A robust upscaling of the effective particle deposition rate in porous media.
