On the Meaning of Averages in Genome-wide Association Studies: What Should Come Next? (2023)
Journal Article

Identifying the association between phenotypes and genotypes is the fundamental basis of genetic analyses. Although genomic technologies used to generate data have rapidly advanced within the last 20 years, the statistical models used in genome-wide...

Mathematical Models of Chiral Symmetry-breaking – A Review of General Theories, and Adiabatic Approximations of the APED System (2022)
Journal Article

We review the literature surrounding chiral symmetry-breaking in chemical systems, with a focus on understanding the mathematical models underlying these chemical processes. We comment in particular on the toy model of Sandars, Viedma’s crystal grind...

GIFT: New method for the genetic analysis of small gene effects involving small sample sizes (2022)
Journal Article

Small gene effects involved in complex/omnigenic traits remain costly to analyse using current genome-wide association methods (GWAS) because of the number of individuals required to return meaningful association(s), a.k.a. study power. Inspired by f... Read More about GIFT: New method for the genetic analysis of small gene effects involving small sample sizes.

Analysis of phenotype-genotype associations using genomic informational field theory (GIFT) (2022)
Journal Article

We show how field- and information theory can be used to quantify the relationship between genotype and phenotype in cases where phenotype is a continuous variable. Given a sample population of phenotype measurements, from various known genotypes, we... Read More about Analysis of phenotype-genotype associations using genomic informational field theory (GIFT).

Breather modes of fully nonlinear mass-in-mass chains (2022)
Journal Article

We propose a model for a chain of particles coupled by nonlinear springs in which each mass has an internal mass and all interactions are assumed to be nonlinear. We show how to construct an asymptotic solution of this system using multiple timescale... Read More about Breather modes of fully nonlinear mass-in-mass chains.

Solution classes of the matrix second Painlevé hierarchy (2022)
Journal Article

We explore the generation of classes of solutions of the matrix second Painlevé hierarchy. This involves the consideration of the application of compositions of auto-Bäcklund transformations to different initial solutions, with the number of distinct...

Mathematical modelling of earlier stages of COVID-19 transmission dynamics in Ghana (2022)
Journal Article

In late 2019, a novel coronavirus, the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak was identified in Wuhan, China and later spread to every corner of the globe. Whilst the number of infection-induced deaths in Ghana, West Africa are minimal when compared with the rest of th...

Stochastic fractal and Noether's theorem (2021)
Journal Article

We consider the binary fragmentation problem in which, at any breakup event, one of the daughter segments either survives with probability p or disappears with probability 1 ? p. It describes a stochastic dyadic Cantor set that evolves in time, and e... Read More about Stochastic fractal and Noether's theorem.

Integrability and asymptotic behaviour of a differential-difference matrix equation (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper we consider the matrix lattice equation U_{n,t} (U_{n+1} ? U_{n?1} ) = g(n)I, in both its autonomous (g(n) = 2) and nonautonomous (g(n) = 2n ? 1) forms. We show that each of these two matrix lattice equations are integrable. In addition... Read More about Integrability and asymptotic behaviour of a differential-difference matrix equation.

Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC We present Monte–Carlo (MC) simulations of the crystallization transition of single-chain square-well homopolymers, with a continuous description of monomer positions. For long chains with short-ranged interactions this s... Read More about Monte–Carlo simulation of crystallization in single‐chain square‐well homopolymers.

Mathematical modelling of telomere length dynamics (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes. During cell division, an incomplete copy of each chromosome’s DNA is made, causing telomeres to shorten on successive generations. When a threshold leng...

Asymptotic analysis of breather modes in a two-dimensional mechanical lattice (2019)
Journal Article

We consider a two-dimensional square lattice in which each node is restricted to the plane of the lattice, but is permitted to move in both directions of the lattice. We assume nodes are connected to nearest neighbours along the lattice directions wi... Read More about Asymptotic analysis of breather modes in a two-dimensional mechanical lattice.

Modelling Emerging Pollutants in Wastewater Treatment: A Case Study using the Pharmaceutical 17??ethinylestradiol (2019)
Journal Article

Mathematical modelling can play a key role in understanding as well as quantifying uncertainties surrounding the presence and fate of emerging pollutants in wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs). This paper presents for the first time a simplified e... Read More about Modelling Emerging Pollutants in Wastewater Treatment: A Case Study using the Pharmaceutical 17??ethinylestradiol.

Effects of competition between random sequential nucleation of point-sized seeds and island growth by adsorption of finite-sized grains (2019)
Journal Article

We study random sequential adsorption of particles from a pool onto a one-dimensional substrate following ballistic deposition rules with separate nucleation and growth processes occurring simultaneously. Nucleation describes the formation of point-s...

Asymptotic approximations to travelling waves in the diatomic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice (2019)
Journal Article

We construct high-order approximate travelling waves solutions of the diatomic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice using asymptotic techniques which are valid for arbitrary mass ratios.

Journal Article

In this paper we consider the matrix nonautonomous semidiscrete (or lattice) equation D dtUn = (2n − 1)(Un+1 − Un−1)−1, as well as the scalar case thereof. This equation was recently derived in the context of auto-Bäcklund transformations for a matri...
