We report the isolation of molluscan (Lymnaea stagnalis) partial complementary DNAs (cDNAs) that encode two new putative glutamate-gated cation-channel polypeptides. These proteins, which we have named Lym-eGluR4 and Lym-eGluR5, exhibit 56% identity...

n the "Impact of Assessment" project, we have been studying the effects of alternative ways of assessing student learning through a number of case studies of assessment in practice. Amongst the criteria used to evaluate methods of assessing student l... Read More about “But is it fair?”: An exploratory study of student perceptions of the consequential validity of assessment.

bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour (1997)
Journal Article

Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be poorly supported and are often treated separately. A full understanding of...

Combined direct and indirect adaptive control of constrained robots (1997)
Journal Article
Yu, H., & Lloyd, S. (1997). Combined direct and indirect adaptive control of constrained robots. International Journal of Control, 68(5), 955-970. https://doi.org/10.1080/002071797223154

The force tracking error is dependent on both the position tracking error and the estimated parameter error so that, in constrained adaptive robot control, the convergence of the estimated parameter error becomes more important than in unconstrained...
