Deep Reinforcement Learning in complex environments by Nardelli, N

“…Secondly, in a single-agent version of the same problem, we investigate how DRL can be used to develop a set of parameter-efficient differentiable planning modules to solve path-planning tasks with complex environment dynamics and variable map sizes. …”

Alkaline earth complexes supported by chelating diamido ligands by Haynes, M

“…</p> <p>The alternative use of highly basic alkyl-substituted 1,8-<em>bis</em>(silylamido)naphthalene ligands resulted in the isolation of new bimetallic alkaline earth complexes displaying a diverse range of structural motifs, as well as a solvent-separated ion pair.…”

Development and characterisation of novel silicon pixel detectors for tracking and timing by Gaži, M

“…</p> <p>Furthermore, this thesis outlines a preliminary investigation of improved clustering methods that use Time-of-Arrival information to enhance the spatial resolution of the MALTA2 sample by ∼20% and improve the timing resolution by ∼7%. …”

Characterising the T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 including variants of concern induced by natural infection and vaccines by Adele, S

“…Chapter 2 provides an overview of the methods used in this thesis. In Chapter 3, I examine the impact of extended dosing intervals on T cell responses in both previously infected and naïve individuals. …”

Comparative effects of domain-specific human monoclonal antibodies against LGI1 on neuronal excitability by Sell, J, Rahmati, V, Kempfer, M, Irani, SR, Ritzau-Jost, A, Hallermann, S, Geis, C

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> We used patient-derived monoclonal autoantibodies (mAbs), which target either LRR or EPTP domains of LGI1 to investigate long-term antibody-induced alteration of neuronal function. …”

Dwarf galaxies as a probe of a primordially magnetized Universe by Sanati, M, Martin-Alvarez, S, Schober, J, Revaz, Y, Slyz, A, Devriendt, J

“…</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> We use the magneto-hydrodynamics code RAMSES, to generate multiple new zoom-in simulations for eight different host halos of dwarf galaxies across a wide luminosity range of 103 &minus; 106 L⊙. …”

Human agency and instrumental rationality: applying human capital to gender inequalities and intergenerational stratification by Luo, H

“…</p> <p>Transformation from Human Capital into Social Capital: Educational attainment plays a pivotal role in increasing individuals' awareness of utilizing and their willingness to use social connections for instrumental purposes. …”

Buying influence? The international diplomacy behind donor financing of the World Bank’s International Development Association by Xu, J

“…In-depth case studies are used to test these hypotheses. Overall the thesis reveals that the US maintained or cut its burden share as the Soviet threat waxed and waned; and that as the Soviet Union collapsed the US abandoned both its leadership for IDA expansion to counter the Soviet threat and its self-restraint in controlling the World Bank, provoking the fairness concern among secondary states – the most potent factor in explaining IDA burden-sharing dynamics in the post-Cold War era. …”

Reassessing the association: evaluation of a polyalanine deletion variant of RUNX2 in non-syndromic sagittal and metopic craniosynostosis by Walton, IS, McCann, E, Weber, A, Morton, JEV, Noons, P, Wilson, LC, Ching, RC, Cilliers, D, Johnson, D, Phipps, JM, Shears, DJ, Thomas, GPL, Wall, SA, Twigg, SRF, Wilkie, AOM
