Mathematical études: embedding opportunities for developing procedural fluency within rich mathematical contexts (2013)
Journal Article

In a high-stakes assessment culture, it is clearly important that learners of mathematics develop the necessary fluency and confidence to perform well on the specific, narrowly defined techniques that will be tested. However, an overemphasis on the t... Read More about Mathematical études: embedding opportunities for developing procedural fluency within rich mathematical contexts.

Thucydides and Hesiod (2013)
Journal Article

The puzzling reference by Thucydides, during his account of Demosthenes’ Aetolian campaign in 426, to the death of Hesiod, can be explained as an instance of foreshadowing through myth: Hesiod’s tragic end prepares the reader for the tragic consequen... Read More about Thucydides and Hesiod.

Health specific traits beyond the Five Factor Model, cognitive processes and trait expression: replies to Watson (2012), Matthews (2012) and Haslam, Jetten, Reynolds, and Reicher (2012) (2013)
Journal Article

In this article we reply to the issues raised by the three commentaries on Ferguson's (2012) article. Watson argues that the four traits identified by Ferguson (2012) – health anxiety, alexithymia, empathy and Type D – do not lie outside the Five Fac...

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the value of approaches to mental health based on creative practice in the humanities and arts, and explore these in relation to the potential contribution to mutual recovery. Design/meth... Read More about Creative practice as mutual recovery in mental health.

Intrinsic distortion of a fully differential BD-modulated Class-D amplifier with analog feedback (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of a fully differential BD-modulated Class-D amplifier with analog feedback, i.e., one having a bridge-tied-load output configuration with negative feedback and ternary PWM signal. Notwithstanding the highl... Read More about Intrinsic distortion of a fully differential BD-modulated Class-D amplifier with analog feedback.

Synergism between cAMP and PPAR? signalling in the initiation of UCP1 gene expression in HIB1B brown adipocytes (2013)
Journal Article

Expression of the brown adipocyte-specific gene, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), is increased by both PPAR stimulation and cAMP activation through their ability to stimulate the expression of the PPAR coactivator PGC1. In HIB1B brown preadipocytes, comb... Read More about Synergism between cAMP and PPAR? signalling in the initiation of UCP1 gene expression in HIB1B brown adipocytes.

Application of small punch creep testing to a thermally sprayed CoNiCrAlY bond coat (2013)
Journal Article

High velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying was used to prepare free-standing CoNiCrAlY (Co–31.7% Ni–20.8% Cr–8.1% Al–0.5% Y (wt%)) bond coat alloy samples approximately 0.5 mm thick. Creep tests were conducted at 750 °C on these samples using a small pu... Read More about Application of small punch creep testing to a thermally sprayed CoNiCrAlY bond coat.

Beyond the therapeutic: a Habermasian view of self-help groups’ place in the public sphere (2013)
Journal Article

Abstract Self-help groups in the United Kingdom continue to grow in number and address virtually every conceivable health condition, but they remain the subject of very little theoretical analysis. The literature to date has predominantly focused... Read More about Beyond the therapeutic: a Habermasian view of self-help groups’ place in the public sphere.

Ultrasonic attenuation measurements at very high SNR: Correlation, information theory and performance (2013)
Journal Article

This paper describes a system for ultrasonic wave attenuation measurements which is based on pseudo-random binary codes as transmission signals combined with on-the-fly correlation for received signal detection. The apparatus can receive signals in t... Read More about Ultrasonic attenuation measurements at very high SNR: Correlation, information theory and performance.
