Hip dysplasia capsular mechanics after periacetabular osteotomy
Background: Hip dysplasia is characterized by an insufficient acetabular coverage around the femoral head which leads to instability, pain, and injury. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) aims to restore acetabular coverage and function, but its effects on capsular mechanics and joint stability are still unclear. The purpose was to examine the effects o...
Risk mitigation in model-based experiment design: a continuous-effort approach to optimal campaigns
A key challenge in maximizing the effectiveness of model-based design of experiments for calibrating nonlinear process models is the inaccurate prediction of information that is afforded by each new experiment. We present a novel methodology to exploit prior probability distributions of model parameter estimates in a bi-objective optimization formu...
Non-intrusive semi-analytical uncertainty quantification using Bayesian quadrature with application to CFD simulations
Report 51: Evidence for age dependence in the severity of the Omicron SARS-CoV variant of concern relative to the Delta ...
Inside-out, outside-in, or all-in-one? The role of network sequencing in the elaboration of ideas
The structure of advice and support networks within organizations has a profound impact on the elaboration of novel ideas. We explore how the sequence in which individuals expose ideas to their network contacts affects their innovation performance. We argue that, during idea elaboration, inside-out network sequencing – that is, mobilizing input and...
Slow-fast systems with fractional environment and dynamics
We prove a fractional averaging principle for interacting slow-fast systems. The mode of convergence is in Hölder norm in probability. The main technical result is a quenched ergodic theorem on the conditioned fractional dynamics. We also establish geometric ergodicity for a class of fractional-driven stochastic differential equations, improving a ...
A prospective, case-control study of COVID-19 vaccine-induced antibody responses in immunosuppressed patients with IBD
...
Background: We sought to determine whether COVID-19 vaccine-induced antibody responses were diminished in patients with IBD on commonly used immunosuppressive drugs. Methods: We prospectively recruited 483 adults (121 healthy controls and 362 IBD) following two doses of either ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford/AstraZeneca), BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) or mRNA...
The support of singular stochastic PDEs
We obtain a generalisation of the Stroock-Varadhan support theorem for a large class of systems of subcritical singular stochastic PDEs driven by a noise that is either white or approximately self-similar. The main problem that we face is the presence of renormalisation. In particular, it may happen in general that different renormalisation procedu...
GlobDesOpt: a global optimization framework for optimal robot manipulator design
Robot design is a major component in robotics, as it allows building robots capable of performing properly in given tasks. However, designing a robot with multiple types of parameters and constraints and defining an optimization function analytically for the robot design problem may be intractable or even impossible. Therefore black-box optimizatio...
