Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams (2006)
Journal Article
Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2006). Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 220(1), https://doi.org/10.1243/1748006XJRR10

Fault tree analysis is commonly used in the reliability assessment of industrial systems. When complex systems are studied conventional methods can become computationally intensive and require the use of approximations. This leads to inaccuracies in...

The development of a mouse model to explore resistance and susceptibility to early Ascaris suum infection (2006)
Journal Article

Ascaris suum and Ascaris lumbricoides exhibit an over-dispersed frequency distribution in their host populations in both the adult and larval stages. The impact of host factors on this observed distribution is still poorly understood and difficult to...
