Mathematical modelling of subglacial drainage and erosion by Ng, FSL

“…In this thesis, we substantiate these developments by exploring a detailed model where the channel is underlain by subglacial till and the flow supports a sediment load. Attention is given to the physics of bed processes and its effect on channel morphology. …”

Analyses of human vaccine-specific circulating and bone marrow-resident B cell populations reveal benefit of delayed vaccine booster dosing with blood-stage malaria antigens by Barrett, JR, Silk, SE, Mkindi, CG, Kwiatkowska, KM, Hou, MM, Lias, AM, Kalinga, WF, Mtaka, IM, McHugh, K, Bardelli, M, Davies, H, King, LDW, Edwards, NJ, Chauhan, VS, Mukherjee, P, Rwezaula, S, Chitnis, CE, Olotu, AI, Minassian, AM, Draper, SJ, Nielsen, CM

“…In contrast, the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses were impacted by vaccine platform but not dosing regimen and did not correlate with in vivo growth inhibition in a challenge model. …”

Injection effects on settling velocity by Le, Duc Anh

“…Settling is a process by which particulates that experience forces fall to the bottom of a liquid and form sediment at the vessel base. The terminal velocity or settling velocity of particle is an important parameter in sediment transport. …”

The Ayeyarwady River (Myanmar) : washload transport and its global role among rivers in the Anthropocene by Latrubesse, Edgardo M., Park, Edward, Kästner, Karl

“…Despite the Ayeyarwady ranking amongst the world’s largest rivers and its vital importance to Myanmar, scarce research has been undertaken to understand its morphodynamics and sediment transport regime. Current load estimates still heavily rely on the only systematic study of sediment transport dating back to the 19th century. …”

EN06 computational environmental hydraulics : pre-treatment filter modeling by Krishnan Moorthi, Pavithra

“…The headloss values have been plotted against time to analyze the impact of incorporating a particle size distribution on the time taken to reach the maximum headloss values and the trend of head loss progression in the filter. Sediment deposition profiles have also been generated to evaluate how the sediment deposition in the filter changes with a changing particle size distribution. …”

Estimating evolutionary and demographic parameters via ARG-derived IBD by Huang, Z, Kelleher, J, Chan, Y, Balding, D

“…Inference of evolutionary and demographic parameters from a sample of genome sequences often proceeds by first inferring identical-by-descent (IBD) genome segments. By exploiting efficient data encoding based on the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), we obtain three major advantages over current approaches: (i) no need to impose a length threshold on IBD segments, (ii) IBD can be defined without the hard-to-verify requirement of no recombination, and (iii) computation time can be reduced with little loss of statistical efficiency using only the IBD segments from a set of sequence pairs that scales linearly with sample size. …”
