The mathematics pipeline in England: inclusion and the excellence stream (2024)
Journal Article

In England, there is currently heightened political interest in increasing mathematics attainment and maximizing post-16 participation. The latter is not merely an issue for upper secondary but requires a long-view of students’ mathematical progress....

The effect of incentivising pre-class reading on engagement and student performance (2023)
Journal Article

A commonly-held belief is that many university students are ‘assessment-driven’; that is, students engage more with activities that are assessed compared with those that are not. ‘Incentivised engagement’ includes the practice of providing incentives...

Fostering purposeful engagement by building staff-student communities (2022)
Journal Article

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, many universities moved to a blended delivery of online and in-person teaching. While necessary for public health, this significant disruption to education risked greater isolation and anxiety for students with...

The impact of peer assessment on mathematics students' understanding of marking criteria and their ability to self- regulate learning (2019)
Journal Article

At the University of Nottingham peer-assessment was piloted with the objective of assisting students to gain greater understanding of marking criteria so that students may improve their comprehension of, and solutions to, future mathematical tasks. T... Read More about The impact of peer assessment on mathematics students' understanding of marking criteria and their ability to self- regulate learning.

Label-free characterization of biochemical changes within human cells under parasite attack using synchrotron based micro-FTIR (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. The protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is responsible for severe, potentially life-threatening, infection in immunocompromised individuals and when acquired during pregnancy. In the meantime, there is no available vacc... Read More about Label-free characterization of biochemical changes within human cells under parasite attack using synchrotron based micro-FTIR.

Metallome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells infected with Toxoplasma gondii using ?-XRF imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (2018)
Journal Article

In this study, we measured the levels of elements in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) infected with T. gondii. ECs were infected with tachyzoites of the RH strain, and at 6, 24, and 48 hours post infection (hpi), the intracellular co...

Development of a statistical crop model to explain the relationship between seed yield and phenotypic diversity within the Brassica napus Genepool (2017)
Journal Article

Plants are extremely versatile organisms that respond to the environment in which they find themselves, but a large part of their development is under genetic regulation. The links between developmental parameters and yield are poorly understood in o...

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy discriminates the response to microglial stimulation of wild type and Alzheimer's disease models (2016)
Journal Article

Area of hock hair loss in dairy cows : risk factors and correlation to a categorical scale (2015)
Journal Article

Data from 3691 dairy cows from 76 farms were used to investigate the risk factors associated with area of hair loss over the lateral aspect of the hock, and the correlation between the area of hair loss as calculated using a hock map and hock lesion...

Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields (2008)
Journal Article

Statistical methodology is proposed for comparing molecular shapes. In order to account for the continuous nature of molecules, classical shape analysis methods are combined with techniques used for predicting random fields in spatial statistics. Ap...
