There is, however, less research relating to how variation in indiv... Read More about Variability in individual assessment behaviour and its implications for collective decision-making.

Chattering attenuation sliding mode approach for nonlinear systems (2017)
Journal Article
Nemati, H., Bando, M., & Hokamoto, S. (2017). Chattering attenuation sliding mode approach for nonlinear systems. Asian Journal of Control, 19(4), 1519-1531. https://doi.org/10.1002/asjc.1477

This study introduces a new robust nonlinear control scheme based on the theory of nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC). Since conventional NTSMC utilizes a discontinuous switching function, a significant flaw called chattering can occur...

In their (1968) paper Fujita and Watanabe considered the issue of uniqueness of the trivial solution of semilinear parabolic equations with respect to the class of bounded, non-negative solutions. In particular they showed that i... Read More about A necessary and sufficient condition for uniqueness of the trivial solution in semilinear parabolic equations.

Using e-assessment to support flipped-style teaching (2017)
Journal Article
Henderson, K. (2017). Using e-assessment to support flipped-style teaching. MSOR Connections, 15(2), 34-41

We show how weekly formative e-assessments are used to support flipped-style teaching of a module delivered to all first year Mathematics students at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The flip lecture approach places students at t... Read More about Using e-assessment to support flipped-style teaching.
