Bayesian evidence synthesis to estimate HIV prevalence in men who have sex with men in Poland at the end of 2009.
HIV spread in men who have sex with men (MSM) is an increasing problem in Poland. Despite the existence of a surveillance system, there is no direct evidence to allow estimation of HIV prevalence and the proportion undiagnosed...
‘I Am that I Am’ (Ex. 3.14)
Abstract We shall revisit a debate which has been going on at least since pioneering British Indologists like William Jones first encountered the ‘Brahmanic theology’ we now know as Vedānta...

Abstract: We shall revisit a debate which has been going on at least since pioneering British Indologists like William Jones first encountered the ‘Brahmanic theology’ we now know as Vedānta, namely, the nature of the...
Why I Am Not a Vegetarian
David Meeler
Jan 01, 0001
This is a paper about why I am not convinced by the moral arguments generally offered by vegetarians. This point helps indicate what the paper is not about. Many people choose vegetarianism for religious reasons, but I have...

Value of Information
Suppose we have a Bayesian model that combines evidence from several different sources. We want to know which model parameters most affect the estimate or decision from the model, or which of the parameter uncertainties drive...

Estimating a time-to-event distribution from right-truncated data in an epidemic
Time-to-event data are right-truncated if only individuals who have experienced the event by a certain time can be included in the sample. For example, we may be interested in estimating the distribution of time from onset of...
Discrimination of the phase of amplitude modulation applied to different carriers
The discrimination of amplitude modulation (AM) from frequency modulation (FM) of a 1000-Hz carrier, with equally detectable AM and FM, is better for a 2-Hz than for a 10-Hz modulation rate. This might reflect greater...
Review of Kevin Decker and Jeffery Ewing, Alien and Philosophy: I Infest, Therefore I Am. Oxford
Jared Call
Jan 07, 2020
The movie Alien first hit the box office in the spring of 1979, and it was met with critical acclaim; in 2008, it ranked seventh best film in the science fiction genre by the American Film Institute. The chestburster scene is...

The Perspective of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in Rice Domestication and Breeding.
In nature, symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contributes to sustainable acquisition of phosphorus and other elements in over 80% of plant species; improving interactions with AM symbionts may mitigate some of the...

BACKGROUND: International travel is a major driver of the introduction and spread of SARS-CoV-2. AIM: To investigate SARS-CoV-2 genetic diversity in the region of a major transport hub in Germany, we characterized the viral...
Joining and splitting models with Markov melding.
Analysing multiple evidence sources is often feasible only via a modular approach, with separate submodels specified for smaller components of the available evidence. Here we introduce a generic framework that enables fully...
A review of multiple degrees of freedom for additive manufacturing machines
Currently, additive manufacturing (AM) technology has received significant attention from both academia and industry. AM is characterized by fabricating geometrically complex components in a layer-by-layer manner, and greatly...

Novel Heating-Induced Reversion during Crystallization of Al-based Glassy Alloys.
Thermal stability and crystallization of three multicomponent glassy alloys, Al86Y7Ni5Co1Fe0.5Pd0.5, Al85Y8Ni5Co1Fe0.5Pd0.5 and Al84Y9Ni4Co1.5Fe0.5Pd1, were examined to assess the ability to form the mixture of amorphous (am)...
The role of phase synchronisation between low frequency amplitude modulations in child phonology and morphology speech tasks.
Recent models of the neural encoding of speech suggest a core role for amplitude modulation (AM) structure, particularly regarding AM phase alignment. Accordingly, speech tasks that measure linguistic development in children may...
A joint analysis of influenza-associated hospitalizations and mortality in Hong Kong, 1998-2013.
Influenza viruses may cause severe human infections leading to hospitalization or death. Linear regression models were fitted to population-based data on hospitalizations and deaths. Surveillance data on influenza virus activity...
Estimating the number of people with hepatitis C virus who have ever injected drugs and have yet to be diagnosed

AIMS: To estimate the number of people who have ever injected drugs (defined here as PWID) living in Scotland in 2009 who have been infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and to quantify and characterize the population...
Evidence Synthesis for Stochastic Epidemic Models.
In recent years, the role of epidemic models in informing public health policies has progressively grown. Models have become increasingly realistic and more complex, requiring the use of multiple data sources to estimate all...
