Towards the systematic simplification of mechanistic models (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, G., Gibbons, J., Wood, A., Ramsden, S., & Crout, N. J. (2006). Towards the systematic simplification of mechanistic models. Ecological Modelling, 198,

Mechanistic models used for prediction should be parsimonious, as models which are over-parameterised may have poor predictive performance. Determining whether a model is parsimonious requires comparisons with alternative model formulations with diff... Read More about Towards the systematic simplification of mechanistic models.

Class-D audio amplifiers with negative feedback (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, S. M., & Candy, B. H. (2006). Class-D audio amplifiers with negative feedback. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 66(2),

There are many different designs for audio amplifiers. Class-D, or switching, amplifiers generate their output signal in the form of a high-frequency square wave of variable duty cycle (ratio of on time to off time). The square-wave nature of the ou...

A bistable reaction-diffusion system in a stretching flow (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, S. M., & Gottwald, G. A. (2006). A bistable reaction-diffusion system in a stretching flow. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 216(2),

We examine the evolution of a bistable reaction in a one-dimensional stretching flow, as a model for chaotic advection. We derive two reduced systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the dynamics of the governing advection-reaction-diffu...

There has long been a question as to whether crowding in rail passenger transport poses a threat to passenger health related to the experience of stress. A review of the scientific literature was conducted. Little rail-specific empirical research was... Read More about Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain.

There’s no place like home: cage odours and place preference in subordinate CD-1 male mice (2006)
Journal Article

Prior studies using mice have shown that scent marks are an important source of information and can cause behavioural changes in other individuals. Studies have also shown that scent marks in the environment can affect the outcome of social interacti...

Membrane-related bioeffects have been reported in response to both radio-frequency (RF) and extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), particularly in neural cells. We have tested whether RF fields might cause inner membrane leakage... Read More about Effects of radio-frequency fields on bacterial cell membranes and nematode temperature-sensitive mutants.

Helicase binding to DnaI exposes a cryptic DNA-binding site during helicase loading in Bacillus subtilis (2006)
Journal Article

The Bacillus subtilis DnaI, DnaB and DnaD proteins load the replicative ring helicase DnaC onto DNA during priming of DNA replication. Here we show that DnaI consists of a C-terminal domain (Cd) with ATPase and DNA-binding activities and an N-termina...
