A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models (2024)
Journal Article

This paper addresses the problem of assessing the homogeneity of the disease transmission process in stochastic epidemic models in populations that are partitioned into social groups. We develop a classical hypothesis test for completed epidemics whi... Read More about A classical hypothesis test for assessing the homogeneity of disease transmission in stochastic epidemic models.

A novel and selective fluorescent ligand for the study of adenosine A2B receptors (2024)
Journal Article

Fluorescent ligands have proved to be powerful tools in the study of G protein-coupled receptors in living cells. Here we have characterised a new fluorescent ligand PSB603-BY630 that has high selectivity for the human adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR).... Read More about A novel and selective fluorescent ligand for the study of adenosine A2B receptors.

Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches (2024)
Journal Article

Hydropower reservoirs, as vital inland waters bodies of anthropogenic origin, exhibit distinct characteristics from natural waters, thereby garnering research interest in the quantification and mapping of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this revie... Read More about Greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs: emission processes and management approaches.

On the productivity advantage of cities (2024)
Journal Article

Agglomeration externalities are the key factor explaining the existence of cities and their size. However, while the various micro foundations of agglomeration externalities stress the importance of total factor productivity (TFP), the empirical evid...

Towards sentience: A path through jazz, datasets and digital scores (2024)
Presentation / Conference

This short paper is a provocation in which we lean into the notion of sentience in Creative-AI music. The purpose of this is to highlight that a critical component when using bucket terms such as ”creativity”, ”intelligence” or ”sentience” in the des...

Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique (2024)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store. Peatland drainage... Read More about Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique.

Direct formation of copper nanoparticles from atoms at graphitic step edges lowers overpotential and improves selectivity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (2024)
Journal Article

A key strategy for minimizing our reliance on precious metals is to increase the fraction of surface atoms and improve the metal-support interface. In this work, we employ a solvent/ligand/counterion-free method to deposit copper in the atomic form d...

The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism (2024)
Journal Article

Despite hundreds of studies examining belief in conspiracy theories, it is still unclear who—demographically—is most likely to believe such theories. To remedy this knowledge gap, we examine survey data containing various operationalizations of consp... Read More about The sociodemographic correlates of conspiracism.

Exploring galaxy evolution time-scales in clusters: insights from the projected phase space (2024)
Journal Article

Galaxies infalling into clusters undergo both star-formation quenching and morphological transformation due to environmental effects. We investigate these processes and their timescales using a local sample of 20,191 cluster and 11,674 field galaxies... Read More about Exploring galaxy evolution time-scales in clusters: insights from the projected phase space.

The automorphisms of differential extensions of characteristic p (2024)
Journal Article

Nonassociative differential extensions are generalizations of associative differential extensions, either of a purely inseparable field extension K of exponent one of a field F , F of characteristic p, or of a central division algebra over a purely i... Read More about The automorphisms of differential extensions of characteristic p.

Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media (2024)
Journal Article

We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction induces an optical nonlocal nonlinearity. We focus on local nonlinear (...

Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy (2024)
Journal Article

This paper presents evidence that sheds light on both the limitations and the possibilities of race-focused staff forums that have formed across UK higher education as part of a response to equality legislation. Based on interviews conducted with thi... Read More about Breathing space amidst the permanence of racism in the academy.

Conceptualising the art of belonging for young refugees and asylum-seekers: reflections from England and Sweden (2024)
Journal Article

The concept of belonging has grown in prominence in research and policy relating to new arrivals from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds. Arguably, belonging is replacing integration and inclusion as the panacea to perceived problems associated w...

Attitudes towards the French language: An analysis of the metalanguage used in twentieth-century French language columns (2024)
Book Chapter

Chroniques de langage, or language columns, are articles discussing questions related to language which are produced by a single author and published regularly in the periodical press (Remysen 2005: 270–1). While the content of the columns can vary,... Read More about Attitudes towards the French language: An analysis of the metalanguage used in twentieth-century French language columns.

JWST observations of galaxy damping wings during reionization interpreted with cosmological simulations (2024)
Journal Article

Spectra of the highest redshift galaxies taken with JWST are now allowing us to see into the heart of the reionization epoch. Many of these observed galaxies exhibit strong damping wing absorption redward of their Lyman-α emission. These observations...

Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans (2024)
Journal Article

We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade r... Read More about Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.
