The under-performing unfold: a new approach to optimising corecursive programs (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hackett, J., Hutton, G., & Jaskelioff, M. The under-performing unfold: a new approach to optimising corecursive programs. Presented at International Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages (25th)

This paper presents a new approach to optimising corecursive programs by factorisation. In particular, we focus on programs written using the corecursion operator unfold. We use and expand upon the proof techniques of guarded coinduction and unfold f... Read More about The under-performing unfold: a new approach to optimising corecursive programs.

Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T- and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals (2013)
Journal Article
Glossop, J. R., Nixon, N. B., Emes, R. D., Haworth, K. E., Packham, J. C., Dawes, P. T., Fryer, A. A., Mattey, D. L., & Farrell, W. E. (2013). Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T- and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals. Epigenetics, 8(11), https://doi.org/10.4161/epi.26265

Multiple reports now describe changes to the DNA methylome in rheumatoid arthritis and in many cases have analyzed methylation in mixed cell populations from whole blood. However, these approaches may preclude the identification of cell type-specific...

ERK phosphorylation of MED14 in promoter complexes during mitogen-induced gene activation by Elk-1 (2013)
Journal Article
Galbraith, M. D., Saxton, J., Li, L., Shelton, S. J., Zhang, H., Espinosa, J. M., & Shaw, P. E. (2013). ERK phosphorylation of MED14 in promoter complexes during mitogen-induced gene activation by Elk-1. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(22), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt837

The ETS domain transcription factor Elk-1 stimulates expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) in response to mitogens. These events require phosphorylation of Elk-1 by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphorylation-dependent intera...

Although breaking down a mathematical problem into smaller parts can often be an effective solution strategy, when the same reductionist approach is applied to mathematics pedagogy the effects are far from beneficial for students. Mathematics pedagog... Read More about Resisting reductionism in mathematics pedagogy.

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.

Journal Article
Finglass, P. (2013). Thucydides and Hesiod. Quaderni Urbinati di Cultura Classica, https://doi.org/10.1400/222506

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
Ferguson, E., Ward, J. W., Skatova, A., Cassaday, H. J., Bibby, P. A., & Lawrence, C. (2013). 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). Health Psychology Review, 7(Supple), Article S85-S103. https://doi.org/10.1080/17437199.2012.701061

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...
