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%. …”

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

“…However, the gnomAD v.2.1.1 control population used by Cuellar et al. did not display Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, hampering interpretation. …”

Translation, adaptation and validation of an epilepsy screening instrument in two Ghanaian languages by Darkwa, EK, Asiamah, S, Awini, E, Sottie, C, Godi, A, Williams, JE, Akpalu, A, Cross, JH, Sander, JW, Sen, A, Newton, CR, Danso-Appiah, A, Adjei, P

“…Cases were people with confirmed epilepsy attending healthcare facilities where these languages are used. Controls were unaffected relatives of cases or people attending the same healthcare facilities for other medical conditions. …”

Mendelian randomization identifies proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases by Belbasis, L, Morris, S, Van Duijn, C, Bennett, D, Walters, R

“…</p> <p>We performed a two-sample cis Mendelian randomization (MR) study by selecting instrumental variables for the abundance of over 2,700 proteins measured by either Olink or SomaScan platforms in plasma from the UK Biobank and the deCODE Health Study. We also used the latest publicly-available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the neurodegenerative diseases of interest. …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…Commercial material, Degussa P25 TiO2, was used mainly for system verification and fundamental studies on the state of material under bandgap excitation, especially ATR-FTIR, and as a benchmark (in pristine and metalized form) for novel visible-sensitized photocatalysts prepared in this thesis. …”
