Statistical methods and analyses in autoimmune diseases by Inshaw, J

“…</p> <p>Finally, I performed an ImmunoChip-wide meta-analysis of 59, 974 individuals, approxi- mately twice the sample size of the previous largest T1D genetic analysis, and identified 74 chromosome regions associated with T1D, including 22 novel regions. I fine mapped each region and confirmed that prioritised variants were enriched in open chromatin re- gions in lymphoid cells. …”

Variational models in martensitic phase transformations with applications to steels by Muehlemann, A

“…</p> <p>In Chapter 4, we focus on highly compatible, so called self-accommodating, martensitic structures and present new results on their fine properties such as estimates on their minimum complexity and bounds on the relative proportion of each martensitic variant in them. …”

Distributed droop schemes for standalone and interlinked AC microgrids by Inam Ullah

Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…Results also indicate that early-stage sketch quantity, but not quality, is linked with design outcomes. This study also finds a link between the frequency of sketching and higher maximum sketch quality scores (i.e., at least one highly rated sketch) as well as a correlation between individuals’ maximum sketch quality scores and overall design outcomes. …”
