A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique (2014)
Journal Article
Lloyd, M. D., Andrews, J., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Pearson, J. T., & Hubbard, P. (2014). A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique. Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 30(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.1478

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... Read More about A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique.

Journal Article
Liu, M. M., Davey, J. W., Jackson, D. J., Blaxter, M. L., & Davison, A. (2014). A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 58, https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.140121ad

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.

The use of alternative double number lines as models of ratio tasks and as models for ratio relations and scaling (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Küchemann, D., Hodgen, J., & Brown, M. (2014). The use of alternative double number lines as models of ratio tasks and as models for ratio relations and scaling.

In this paper we draw on ICCAMS project materials that used the double number line (DNL) to develop secondary school students’ understanding of multiplicative reasoning. In particular, we look at the use of a DNL, and its alternative version, as a mo...
