Towards a more reliable interpretation of machine learning outputs for safety-critical systems using feature importance fusion (2021)
Journal Article

When machine learning supports decision-making in safety-critical systems, it is important to verify and understand the reasons why a particular output is produced. Although feature importance calculation approaches assist in interpretation, there is...

Smooth 1-Dimensional Algebraic Quantum Field Theories (2021)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a refinement of the usual concept of algebraic quantum field theories (AQFTs) to theories that are smooth in the sense that they assign to every smooth family of spacetimes a smooth family of observable algebras. Using stacks of c... Read More about Smooth 1-Dimensional Algebraic Quantum Field Theories.

Bureaucratic Professionalization is a Contagious Process Inside Government: Evidence from a Priming Experiment with 3,000 Chilean Civil Servants (2021)
Journal Article

Education is at the centre of theories of how bureaucracies professionalize. Going back to Weber, the process towards a capable and professional bureaucracy has been viewed as driven by the entry of well-educated, professional recruits. We argue that...

Systematic-Error-Tolerant Multiqubit Holonomic Entangling Gates (2021)
Journal Article

Quantum holonomic gates hold built-in resilience to local noises and provide a promising approach for implementing fault-tolerant quantum computation. We propose to realize high-fidelity holonomic (N + 1)-qubit controlled gates using Rydberg atoms co... Read More about Systematic-Error-Tolerant Multiqubit Holonomic Entangling Gates.

Understanding the dynamics of destination loyalty: a longitudinal investigation into the drivers of revisit intentions (2021)
Journal Article

Despite much previous research, gaps remain in our understanding of why satisfied tourists with positive destination images do not revisit favored destinations. Recent research proposes sensory impressions as a complement determinants of revisit inte...

Emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants: comparative replication dynamics and high sensitivity to thapsigargin (2021)
Journal Article

The struggle to control the COVID-19 pandemic is made challenging by the emergence of virulent SARS-CoV-2 variants. To gain insight into their replication dynamics, emergent Alpha (A), Beta (B) and Delta (D) SARS-CoV-2 variants were assessed for thei...

Population screening for liver fibrosis: Toward early diagnosis and intervention for chronic liver diseases (2021)
Journal Article

Cirrhosis, highly prevalent worldwide, develops after years of hepatic inflammation triggering progressive fibrosis. Currently, the main etiologies of cirrhosis are non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease, although chronic...

Whole-Genome Resequencing of Worldwide Wild and Domestic Sheep Elucidates Genetic Diversity, Introgression, and Agronomically Important Loci (2021)
Journal Article

Domestic sheep and their wild relatives harbor substantial genetic variants that can form the backbone of molecular breeding, but their genome landscapes remain understudied. Here, we present a comprehensive genome resource for wild ovine species, la...

Bayesian Mapping of the Striatal Microcircuit Reveals Robust Asymmetries in the Probabilities and Distances of Connections (2021)
Journal Article

The striatum’s complex microcircuit is made by connections within and between its D1- and D2-receptor expressing projection neurons and at least five species of interneuron. Precise knowledge of this circuit is likely essential to understanding stria...

Do banks adjust their liquidity to cope with environmental variation? A study of bank deregulation (2021)
Journal Article

The effect of bank deregulation on adjustment speed of bank liquidity is the focus of this paper. We find that banks tend to increase their adjustment speed of liquidity in response to bank deregulation. Banks tend to escape their current states and...

Sox-positive cell population in the adult cerebellum increases upon tissue degeneration (2021)
Journal Article

Adult neurogenesis is well-described in the subventricular and subgranular zones of the mammalian brain.

Some important aspects of modelling clay platelet interactions using DEM (2021)
Journal Article

The discrete element method (DEM) is a popular tool for simulating soils, however it has rarely been used for modelling clays.
