This paper introduces a novel approach to quantify the effect of forward propagated demand and weather uncertainty on power system planning and operation model outputs. Recent studies indicate that such sampling uncertainty, originating from demand and weather time series inputs, should not be ignored. However, established uncertainty quantificatio...
We use the large homogeneous sample of late M dwarfs, M7 to M9.5, of Ahmed & Warren (2019) matched to $\textit{Gaia}$ DR2, to measure the relation between absolute magnitude and spectral type, and to infer the multiplicity fraction of the population, and the distribution of mass ratios in the binary systems. Binaries are identified photometrically ...

Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fourteen genetic loci have previously been associated with smoking behaviour-related traits. We tested up to 235,116 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) on the exome-array for association with smoking ...

EIT-MESHER is C++ software, based on the CGAL library, which generates high quality Finite Element Model tetrahedral meshes from binary masks of 3D volume segmentations. Originally developed for biomedical applications in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) to address the need for custom, non-linear refinement in certain areas (e.g. around electr...
Objectives The suspension of elective surgery during the COVID pandemic is unprecedented and has resulted in record volumes of patients waiting for operations. Novel approaches that maximise capacity and efficiency of surgical care are urgently required. This study applies Markov Multiscale Community Detection (MMCD), an unsupervised graph-based cl...
Rationale: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) on effective antiretroviral therapy are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications, possibly due to off-target drug effects. Some studies have associated antiretroviral therapy with increased risk of myocardial infarction and endothelial dysfunction, but a link between endoth...
The thin-film rotating disk electrode (TF-RDE) is a well-developed, conventional ex-situ electrochemical method which is limited by poor mass transport in the dissolved phase and hence can only measure the kinetic response for Pt-based catalysts in a narrow overpotential range. Thus, the applicability of TF-RDE results in assessing how catalysts pe...
Objectives: A study designed to assess the public perception of the response of government and its institutions to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Setting: Self-selecting participants throughout Nigeria completed a self-administered questionnaire through an online cross-sectional survey. Participants: 495 Results: The majority of respondents were...
