The future of STEM in higher education: HEA discussion paper (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper

The future of STEM education is a topic of national scrutiny and debate. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee (HLSTC) recently completed an inquiry (HLSTC, 2012)1, in response to the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) government’s ‘Plan for Growt...

Filamentary extension of the mem-con theory of memristance and its application to titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

Titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors have two different modes of operation, believed to be dependent on whether there is bulk memristance, i.e. memristance throughout the whole volume or filamentary memristance, i.e. memristance caused by the connecti...

The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

The width of the electrodes is not included in the current phenomenological models of memristance, but is included in the memory-conservation (mem-con) theory of memristance. An experimental study of the effect of changing the top electrode width was... Read More about The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study.

Aluminium electrodes effect the operation of titanium oxide sol-gel memristors (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

By a comparison between memristors made with aluminium and gold electrodes, this letter demonstrates that aluminium electrodes are an essential component of the TiO$_2$ sol-gel flexible memristor . Both slow varying `analogue' and sudden switching `d... Read More about Aluminium electrodes effect the operation of titanium oxide sol-gel memristors.

The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

Ever since real-world two terminal memristor devices were created, detractors have derided them as not `true' Chua memristors because there is no magnetic flux in the system. This report shows that the flux is present and equal to the magnetic flux o... Read More about The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found.

Transforming our world: Afrophobia and the need for disaggregated statistics to monitor equality in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Preprint / Working Paper

This working paper of advocates disaggregated data collection and analysis, as asserted by Target 17.18 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this respect the researcher re-asserts this is imperative for norm and policy development to ad...

Behavioural aspects of the national minimum wage: Measuring and interpreting behaviour in the low-wage labour market
Preprint / Working Paper

Report for LPC on how low pay is measured in official data sources. Finds that (a) employers tend to 'round' hourly pay rates, suggesting scope for rent-sharing in these low-paying jobs, and/or high transactions costs associated with wage-setting; an...
