Determinantal generalizations of instrumental variables (2017)
Journal Article

Linear structural equation models relate the components of a random vector using linear interdependencies and Gaussian noise. Each such model can be naturally associated with a mixed graph whose vertices correspond to the components of the random vec...

A minimally invasive optical trapping system to understand cellular interactions at onset of an immune response (2017)
Journal Article

T-cells and antigen presenting cells are an essential part of the adaptive immune response system and how they interact is crucial in how the body effectively fights infection or responds to vaccines. Much of the experimental work studying interactio... Read More about A minimally invasive optical trapping system to understand cellular interactions at onset of an immune response.

Community based response to the Japanese tsunami: A bottom-up approach (2017)
Journal Article

The 2011 Tohuku earthquake and tsunami are said to be the most powerful ever to hit Japan. The result was tremendous loss of life, homes and livelihoods; the destruction of infrastructures; and the disruption of basic facilities. The aftermath of thi...

Unified viscoplasticity modelling and its application to fatigue-creep behaviour of gas turbine rotor (2017)
Journal Article

This paper presents an elasto-visco-plastic finite element modelling framework including the associated UMAT codes to investigate the high temperature behaviour of gas turbine rotor steels. The model used in the FE study is an improved and unified mu... Read More about Unified viscoplasticity modelling and its application to fatigue-creep behaviour of gas turbine rotor.

Patient characteristics and outcome measurement in a low secure forensic hospital (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Health services are increasingly required to measure outcomes after treatment, which can be reported to the funding body and may be scrutinised by the public. Extensive high quality measurements are time consuming. Routinely collected cli... Read More about Patient characteristics and outcome measurement in a low secure forensic hospital.
