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. …”

Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…The main variables identified to influence ECM community composition (pH, vegetation species richness) were also different from the variables identified to influence ECM richness (vegetation proportions, fine root biomass). Overall, our findings contribute towards developing a more comprehensive assessment of ECM communities and their driving factors in the context of common UK woodlands habitats.…”
