scRNA-seq datasets are increasingly used to identify gene panels that can be probed using alternative technologies, such as spatial transcriptomics, where choosing the best subset of genes is vital. Existing methods are limited...
Modelling the Effects of Complacency and Educational Countermeasures on the Spread of HIV
In this project, we consider a system of five ordinary differential equations which describe the population dynamics of HIV/AIDS when individuals are tested for the virus and then moved onto antiretroviral therapy. We include a...

The Feasibility of Integrating Wearable Cameras and Health Trackers for Measuring Personal Exposure to Urban Features
Built environment factors such as greenery, walkability, and crowd density are related to physical activity and mental health. New emerging wearable sensors provide an opportunity to objectively monitor human exposure to...
Raising juveniles
This paper investigates how families decide how juveniles use their time. The problem is analyzed in three variations: (i) a ‘decentralized’ scheme, in which parents control the main budget, but their children dispose of their...

Two strands - perhaps "strains" might at times be thought a more accurate word -exist within dialectology. One, geographical and historical, charts linguistic variation on the ground and seeks to study language in its diachronic...

Climatic and societal impacts of a "forgotten" cluster of volcanic eruptions in 1108-1110 CE.
Recently revised ice core chronologies for Greenland have newly identified one of the largest sulfate deposition signals of the last millennium as occurring between 1108 and 1113 CE. Long considered the product of the 1104 CE...

The unusual case of plastic deformation and high dislocation densities with the cold sintering of the piezoelectric ceramic K0.5Na0.5NbO3
K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) can be readily densified using the cold sintering process, but despite observing high relative permittivity, the ferroelectric hysteresis is strongly suppressed along with a major suppression in the...

Extended impacts of climate change on health and wellbeing
Anthropogenic climate change is progressively transforming the environment despite political and technological attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle global warming. Here we propose that greater insight and...
Tricks of the mind
What do cognitive illusions reveal about the psychology of the human mind? In this book Gustav Kuhn explores the psychological processes and cognitive road blocks that contribute to the wonderment and entertainment value of...
Seven myths of memory.
In this paper we highlight seven myths about memory, which centre around the fact that memories, as we experience them, are not only about the past, they are also prospective. Although episodic memory provides the template for...
Reflections on the spoon test.
In this paper, we shall use Tulving's seminal empirical and theoretical research including the 'Spoon Test' to explore memory and mental time travel and its origins and role in planning for the future. We will review the...
The Ape That Lived to Tell the Tale. The Evolution of the Art of Storytelling and Its Relationship to Mental Time Travel and Theory of Mind.
Engaging in the art of creating and telling stories is a defining behaviour of humankind. Humans have been sharing stories with each other, with and without words, since the dawn of recorded history, but the cognitive...
‘I’d like to report a suspicious looking tree’
‘Public concern’, a ubiquitous notion used in descriptive and explanatory modes by policy makers, academics and the media, is often presented as axiomatic. However, the variability with which it is deployed in different...
Do PCAOB Inspections Improve the Quality of Internal Control Audits?

We investigate whether Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspections affect the quality of internal control audits. Our research design improves on prior studies by exploiting both cross-sectional and...

The 2011 eruption of Nabro volcano, Eritrea
The 2011 eruption of Nabro volcano, Eritrea, produced one of the largest volcanic sulphur inputs to the atmosphere since the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, yet has received comparatively little scientific attention. Nabro forms...
