Journal Article
Congreve, S., Houston, P., & Wihler, T. P. Two-grid hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for second-order quasilinear elliptic PDEs. Manuscript submitted for publication

In this article we propose a class of so-called two-grid hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for the numerical solution of a second-order quasilinear elliptic boundary value problem of monotone type. The key idea in this setting... Read More about Two-grid hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for second-order quasilinear elliptic PDEs.

Journal Article
Cruickshanks, H., Vafadar-Isfahani, N., Dunican, D., Lee, A., Sproul, D., Lund, J. N., …Tufarelli, C. Expression of a large LINE-1-driven antisense RNA is linked to epigenetic silencing of the metastasis suppressor gene TFPI-2 in cancer. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(14), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt438

LINE-1 retrotransposons are abundant repetitive elements of viral origin, which in normal cells are kept quiescent through epigenetic mechanisms. Activation of LINE-1 occurs frequently in cancer and can enable LINE-1 mobilization but also has re...

A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions
Conference Proceeding
Farr, R., Arman, H., & Gindy, N. A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions.

Increasingly, it is recognised that human activity is causing our environment to degrade, and that there is a very real danger of doing irreversible damage to natural systems of which we have only a partial understanding. Neither living in, nor doing... Read More about A framework to support multiple perspectives in eco-efficiency decisions.

A parametric approach to logistic control within manufacturing simulation
Journal Article
Farr, R., Tannock, J., & Almgren, T. A parametric approach to logistic control within manufacturing simulation. International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering, 5(3), https://doi.org/10.1504/IJISE.2010.031963

Simulation offers a powerful way to investigate the boundaries of what can be achieved by a manufacturing system, demonstrating the impact of schedules and policy decisions such as the placement of buffers and the size of safety stocks. Unfortunately... Read More about A parametric approach to logistic control within manufacturing simulation.
