Candida albicans Hap43 domains are required under iron starvation but not excess (2017)
Journal Article
Skrahina, V., Brock, M., Hube, B., & Brunke, S. (2017). Candida albicans Hap43 domains are required under iron starvation but not excess. Frontiers in Microbiology, 8, Article 2388. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.02388

Iron availability is a central factor in infections, since iron is a critical micronutrient for all living organisms. The host employs both iron limitation and toxicity strategies to control microbial growth, and successful pathogens are able to tigh...

Abstract modelling: towards a typed declarative language for the conceptual modelling phase (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Legatiuk, D., & Nilsson, H. (2017). Abstract modelling: towards a typed declarative language for the conceptual modelling phase.

Modelling languages have become an indispensable aid to practising engineers. They offer modelling at a high level of abstraction backed by features such as automatic simulation and even derivation of production code. However, partly because of the o...

Peer assessment of mathematical understanding using comparative judgement (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, I., & Sirl, D. (2017). Peer assessment of mathematical understanding using comparative judgement

It is relatively straightforward to assess procedural knowledge and difficult to assess conceptual understanding in mathematics. One reason is that conceptual understanding is better assessed using open-ended test questions that invite an unpredictab...
