Genomic data analyses for population history and population health by Bycroft, C

“…<p>Many of the patterns of genetic variation we observe today have arisen via the complex dynamics of interactions and isolation of historic human populations. In this thesis, we focus on two important features of the genetics of populations that can be used to learn about human history: population structure and admixture. …”

Housing and populism by Adler, D, Ansell, B

“…This paper bridges the economic and values-based approaches to populism by arguing that the geography of wealth inequality offers a convincing explanation for the pattern of populist vote share. …”

The population of the UK by Dorling, D

“…Did you know that where you were born may affect when you die? The Population of the UK explains how geography - in the widest sense - makes a difference to life outcomes. …”

A GENEALOGICAL APPROACH TO VARIABLE-POPULATION-SIZE MODELS IN POPULATION-GENETICS by Donnelly, P

The effects of spatial population dataset choice on estimates of population at risk of disease. by Tatem, A, Campiz, N, Gething, P, Snow, R, Linard, C

“…The estimated population numbers within each class were calculated for each country using four different global gridded human population datasets: GRUMP (~1 km spatial resolution), LandScan (~1 km), UNEP Global Population Databases (~5 km), and GPW3 (~5 km). …”

The association between ALS and population density: A population based study. by Scott, K, Abhinav, K, Wijesekera, L, Ganesalingam, J, Goldstein, L, Janssen, A, Dougherty, A, Willey, E, Stanton, B, Turner, M, Ampong, M, Sakel, M, Orrell, R, Howard, R, Shaw, C, Nigel Leigh, P, Al-Chalabi, A

“…We aimed to assess whether rural residence is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the south-east of England using a population based register. Previous studies in different populations have produced contradictory findings. …”

The effects of spatial population dataset choice on estimates of population at risk of disease by Tatem, A, Campiz, N, Gething, P, Snow, R, Linard, C

“…The estimated population numbers within each class were calculated for each country using four different global gridded human population datasets: GRUMP (~1 km spatial resolution), LandScan (~1 km), UNEP Global Population Databases (~5 km), and GPW3 (~5 km). …”

The Structuring of Organizational Populations by Barron, D

“…I construct theoretical models of the founding, failure, and growth of organizations that, when combined, constitute an explanation of the process by which the number of organizations in an population (the population density) declines from a peak, while at the same time the population mass (the aggregate size of the organizations in the population) continues to increase. …”

Persons, populations, and value by Kowalczyk, K

“…<p>This thesis consists of six independent papers on personal identity, population ethics, and value theory. The central theme of this thesis is the unimportance of personal identity. …”

Population 10 billion by Dorling, D

“…Before May 2011 the top demographics experts of the United Nations had suggested that world population would peak at 9.1 billion in 2100, and then fall to 8.5 billion people by 2150. …”

Population attributable fraction by Mansournia, M, Altman, D

Spatial population models by Etheridge, A

The value of population health by Jani, A

Hitting the population brakes by Dorling, D

Approachability in population games by Bauso, D, Norman, T

“…This paper reframes approachability theory within the context of population games. Thus, whilst a player still aims at driving her average payoff to a predefined set, her opponent is no longer malevolent but instead is extracted randomly at each instant of time from a population of individuals choosing actions in a similar manner. …”

Language, ethnicity and population by Ardener, E

The population genetics of the haemoglobinopathies. by Flint, J, Harding, R, Boyce, A, Clegg, J

The population genetics of the haemoglobinopathies. by Flint, J, Harding, R, Boyce, A, Clegg, J

“…In order to explain the second, we have argued that malaria selection has operated relatively recently on human populations (within the last 5000 years). The present distribution is then seen as the result of selection elevating sporadic mutations in local populations. …”

The rise of trapped populations by Humble, A

Population genetics of tumours. by Bodmer, W, Tomlinson, I

“…The model addresses populations of cells and not populations of people.…”
