The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs (1973)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Prentice, J. A. (1973). The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs. Computer Physics Communications, 5(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/0010-4655%2873%2990029-5

A strategy is described for a controlling algorithm (‘the job’) to schedule and supply many data sets (‘problems’) to a large, long-running applications program. The algorithm also controls very closely the run time environment of each problem and pr... Read More about The OPIT system II: job control and scheduling for large applications programs.

Fast assembly of fock matrices utilising symmetry properties of the basis set (1973)
Journal Article

The equivalent orbital (EO) method is investigated and used for predicting outer and inner ionization potentials of the linear alkanes. The calculated ionization potentials are in good agreement with those observed in photoelectron spectra provided t... Read More about Calculated ionization potentials of the linear alkanes.

Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge (1968)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Robertson, A. J. B. (1968). Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge

Sharp edges were first used for field ionisation mass spectrometry by Beckey. Although Cross and Robertson found that etched metal foils were more effective than razor blades for field ionisation, blades are very convenient for determination of field...

Clustering through post inhibitory rebound in synaptically coupled neurons
Journal Article
Chik, D. T. W., Coombes, S., & Wang, Z. D. Clustering through post inhibitory rebound in synaptically coupled neurons

Post inhibitory rebound is a nonlinear phenomenon present in a variety of nerve cells. Following a period of hyper-polarization this effect allows a neuron to fire a spike or packet of spikes before returning to rest. It is an important mechanism u...

Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models
Book
O'Neill, P. D., & Kypraios, T. Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models. University of Nottingham

We consider Bayesian model choice for the setting where the observed data are partially observed realisations of a stochastic population process. A new method for computing Bayes factors is described which avoids the need to use reversible jump appro...

The Rankin-Cohen bracket of two Eisenstein series provides a kernel yielding products of the periods of Hecke eigenforms at critical values. Extending this idea leads to a new type of Eisenstein series built with a double sum. We develop the properti... Read More about Kernels for products of L-functions.
