A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique (2014)
Journal Article

Health management systems are now standard aspects of complex systems. They monitor the behaviour of components and sub-systems and in the event of unexpected system behaviour diagnose faults that have occurred. Although this process should reduce...

A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome (2014)
Journal Article

The early animal embryo is entirely reliant on maternal gene products for a ‘jump-start’ that transforms a transcriptionally inactive embryo into a fully functioning zygote. Despite extensive work on model species, it has not been possible to perform... Read More about A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome.

Discrete element modelling of a rock cone crusher (2014)
Journal Article

The feasibility of the discrete element method to model the performance of a cone crusher comminution machine has been explored using the particle replacement method (PRM) to represent the size reduction of rocks experienced within a crusher chamber....

Effect of prior laser microstructural refinement on the formation of amorphous layer in an Al86Co7.6Ce6.4 alloy (2014)
Journal Article

Laser surface melting (LSM) pre-treatment was conducted before large area electron beam (LAEB) treatment in an attempt to eliminate the cracking of the amorphous layer. In our previous work, LAEB treatment successfully generated an amorphous layer on...

On the long-time integration of stochastic gradient systems (2014)
Journal Article

This article addresses the weak convergence of numerical methods for Brownian dynamics. Typical analyses of numerical methods for stochastic differential equations focus on properties such as the weak order which estimates the asymptotic (stepsize...

Explaining moral knowledge (2014)
Journal Article

In this paper I assess the viability of a particularist explanation of moral knowledge. First, I consider two arguments by Sean McKeever and Michael Ridge that purport to show that a generalist, principle-based explanation of practical wisdom—under... Read More about Explaining moral knowledge.

Current energy resources in Kazakhstan and the future potential of renewables: a review (2014)
