The association of mood disorders with breast cancer survival: An investigation of linked cancer registration and hospital admission data for South East England (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Data linkage studies find that depression before or after a breast cancer diagnosis predicts reduced survival. This study aimed to determine whether depression or bipolar recorded in routine hospital admission data independently predicts...

A model of firm heterogeneity in factor intensities and international trade (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Canadian Economics Association. Empirical evidence suggests that exporters are, in addition to being more productive, significantly more skilled-labour intensive than non-exporters. In a setting that captures both these features, we show that... Read More about A model of firm heterogeneity in factor intensities and international trade.

A model of firm heterogeneity in factor intensities and international trade (2015)
Journal Article

Empirical evidence suggests that exporters – besides being more productive – are significantly more skilled labor intensive than non–exporters. In a setting which captures both these features, we show that the firm selection induced by trade liberali...

Gaussian interferometric power as a measure of continuous-variable non-Markovianity (2015)
Journal Article

We investigate the non-Markovianity of continuous-variable Gaussian quantum channels through the evolution of an operational metrological quantifier, namely, the Gaussian interferometric power, which captures the minimal precision that can be achieve...

Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Aeroengine bearing chambers are geometrically complex, typically containing shafts, bearings, seals and stationary components. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and so the chamber contains a highly rotating two-phase (oil/air) flow where th...
