A comparison of approaches to the teaching and learning of science in Chinese and Australian elementary classrooms: cultural and socioeconomic complexities (2013)
Journal Article
Tao, Y., Oliver, M., & Venville, G. (2013). A comparison of approaches to the teaching and learning of science in Chinese and Australian elementary classrooms: cultural and socioeconomic complexities. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 50(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/tea.21064

Set in the context of today’s globalized approaches to curriculum reform, the purpose of this study was to compare the teaching and learning of science in Chinese and Australian Grade 6 classrooms. A conceptual framework based on notions of culture a...

Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Miller, S., Appleby, S., Garibaldi, J. M., & Aickelin, U. (2013). Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis. International Journal of Secure Software Engineering, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.4018/jsse.2013010102

The task of designing secure software systems is fraught with uncertainty, as data on uncommon attacks is limited, costs are difficult to estimate, and technology and tools are continually changing. Consequently, experts may interpret the security ri... Read More about Towards a more systematic approach to secure systems design and analysis.

Construction of a doxycycline inducible adipogenic lentiviral expression system (2013)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Hill, P., Karamitri, A., Ryan, K., Chen, H., & Lomax, M. A. (2013). Construction of a doxycycline inducible adipogenic lentiviral expression system. Plasmid, 69(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plasmid.2012.10.001

To provide a tool for research on regulating adipocyte differentiation, tetracycline inducible (Tet on) lentiviral expression vectors under the control of an adipose-specific promoter were constructed. The lowest basal expression in the absence of do... Read More about Construction of a doxycycline inducible adipogenic lentiviral expression system.

Limitations of perturbative techniques in the analysis of rhythms and oscillations (2013)
Journal Article
Lin, K. K., Wedgwood, K. C., Coombes, S., & Young, L. (2013). Limitations of perturbative techniques in the analysis of rhythms and oscillations. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 66(1-2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-012-0506-0

Perturbation theory is an important tool in the analysis of oscillators and their response to external stimuli. It is predicated on the assumption that the perturbations in question are “sufficiently weak”, an assumption that is not always valid when...

High throughput discovery of thermo-responsive materials using water contact angle measurements and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (2013)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Scurr, D. J., Anderson, D. G., Langer, R., Williams, P., Davies, M. C., & Alexander, M. R. (2013). High throughput discovery of thermo-responsive materials using water contact angle measurements and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Surface and Interface Analysis, 45(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/sia.4910

Switchable materials that alter their chemical or physical properties in response to external stimuli allow for temporal control of material-biological interactions, thus, are of interest for many biomaterial applications. Our interest is the discove... Read More about High throughput discovery of thermo-responsive materials using water contact angle measurements and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.

DNA damage induces nucleoid compaction via the Mre11-Rad50 complex in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii (2013)
Journal Article
Delmas, S., Duggin, I. J., & Allers, T. (2013). DNA damage induces nucleoid compaction via the Mre11-Rad50 complex in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii. Molecular Microbiology, 87(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/mmi.12091

In prokaryotes the genome is organized in a dynamic structure called the nucleoid, which is embedded in the cytoplasm. We show here that in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, compaction and reorganization of the nucleoid is induced by stresses that...

Development of a smoke visualisation system for wind tunnel laboratory experiments (2013)
Journal Article
Trinder, M., & Jabbal, M. (2013). Development of a smoke visualisation system for wind tunnel laboratory experiments. International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, 41(1), https://doi.org/10.7227/IJMEE.41.1.5

The design, build and test of a smoke visualisation system for a vertical wind tunnel at Brunel University are described. The smoke visualisation system utilised a fog machine for smoke generation and required the design and manufacture of a smoke ra...

Why study the early Eucharist? With professor Tom O'Loughlin in discussion with Dr Francis Knight ; [part of] The Why Studies Series : devised by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Nottingham. (2013)
Digital Artefact
O'Loughlin, T. (2013). Why study the early Eucharist? With professor Tom O'Loughlin in discussion with Dr Francis Knight ; [part of] The Why Studies Series : devised by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Nottingham. [Video made publically available on YouTube]

The Eucharist is a central element of the religious practice of the majority of Christians. Part of this practice is the act of recollection (anamnesis) of the origins of the practice which is located within memory at the salient moment of Jesus' las...

Phrases in literary contexts: patterns and distributions of suspensions in Dickens’s novels (2013)
Journal Article
Mahlberg, M., Smith, C., & Preston, S. (2013). Phrases in literary contexts: patterns and distributions of suspensions in Dickens’s novels. International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, 18(1), https://doi.org/10.1075/ijcl.18.1.05mah

This paper addresses relations between lexico-grammatical patterns and texts. Our focus is on a specific linguistic unit, the ‘suspended quotation’ (or ‘suspension’), which has received particular attention in Dickens studies. The suspended quotation...
