Predictive inference for system reliability after common-cause component failures (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2015). Predictive inference for system reliability after common-cause component failures. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 135, 27-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2014.11.005

This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability following common-cause failures of components. It is assumed that a single failure event may lead to simultaneous failure of multiple components. Data consist of frequencie...

Long-time dynamics of 2d double-diffusive convection: analysis and/of numerics (2014)
Journal Article
Tone, F., Wang, X., & Wirosoetisno, D. (2014). Long-time dynamics of 2d double-diffusive convection: analysis and/of numerics. Numerische Mathematik, 130(3), 541-566. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00211-014-0670-9

We consider a two-dimensional model of double-diffusive convection and its time discretisation using a second-order scheme (based on backward differentiation formula for the time derivative) which treats the non-linear term explicitly. Uniform bounds... Read More about Long-time dynamics of 2d double-diffusive convection: analysis and/of numerics.

A geometric and game-theoretic study of the conjunction of possibility measures (2014)
Journal Article
Miranda, E., Troffaes, M. C., & Destercke, S. (2015). A geometric and game-theoretic study of the conjunction of possibility measures. Information Sciences, 298, 373-389. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2014.10.067

In this paper, we study the conjunction of possibility measures when they are interpreted as coherent upper probabilities, that is, as upper bounds for some set of probability measures. We identify conditions under which the minimum of two possibilit... Read More about A geometric and game-theoretic study of the conjunction of possibility measures.

Guaranteed resonance enclosures and exclosures for atoms and molecules (2014)
Journal Article
Boegli, S., Brown, B. M., Marletta, M., Tretter, C., & Wagenhofer, M. (2014). Guaranteed resonance enclosures and exclosures for atoms and molecules. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 470(2171), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2014.0488

In this paper, we confirm, with absolute certainty, a conjecture on a certain oscillatory behaviour of higher auto-ionizing resonances of atoms and molecules beyond a threshold. These results not only definitely settle a more than 30 year old controv... Read More about Guaranteed resonance enclosures and exclosures for atoms and molecules.

Scattering amplitudes in Lifshitz spacetime (2014)
Journal Article
Andrade, T., Ross, S. F., & Lei, Y. (2014). Scattering amplitudes in Lifshitz spacetime. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 31(21), Article 215002. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/31/21/215002

We consider the calculation of scattering amplitudes in field theories dual to Lifshitz spacetimes. These amplitudes provide an interesting probe of the IR structure of the field theory; our aim is to use them to explore the observable consequences o...

Multiwell Deconvolution (2014)
Journal Article
Cumming, J., Wooff, D., Whittle, T., & Gringarten, A. (2014). Multiwell Deconvolution. SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering, 17(04), 457-465. https://doi.org/10.2118/166458-pa

In well-test analysis, deconvolution is used to transform variablerate-pressure data into a single constant-rate drawdown suitable for interpretation. It is becoming part of a standard workflow for exploration and appraisal well-test analyses and in... Read More about Multiwell Deconvolution.

Delayed self-regulation and time-dependent chemical drive leads to novel states in epigenetic landscapes (2014)
Journal Article
Mitra, M., Taylor, P., Hutchison, C., McLeish, T., & Chakrabarti, B. (2014). Delayed self-regulation and time-dependent chemical drive leads to novel states in epigenetic landscapes. Journal of the Royal Society. Interface, 11(100), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2014.0706

The epigenetic pathway of a cell as it differentiates from a stem cell state to a mature lineage-committed one has been historically understood in terms of Waddington's landscape, consisting of hills and valleys. The smooth top and valley-strewn bott... Read More about Delayed self-regulation and time-dependent chemical drive leads to novel states in epigenetic landscapes.

Estimating a Path through a Map of Decision Making (2014)
Journal Article
Brock, W., Bentley, R., O'Brien, M., & Caiado, C. (2014). Estimating a Path through a Map of Decision Making. PLoS ONE, 9(11), Article e111022. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111022

Studies of the evolution of collective behavior consider the payoffs of individual versus social learning. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of social versus individual learning could be compared against the transparency of payo...

A Bayesian shifting method for uncertainty in the open-hole gamma-ray log around casing points (2014)
Journal Article
Oughton, R. H., Wooff, D. A., & O'Connor, S. A. (2014). A Bayesian shifting method for uncertainty in the open-hole gamma-ray log around casing points. Petroleum Geoscience, 20(4), 375-391. https://doi.org/10.1144/petgeo2014-006

The wireline gamma-ray log is sensitive to open-hole conditions and, in particular, the diameter. This means that the log can jump at casing points. Although environmental corrections exist, they can fail at these points. We present a Bayesian method...

Quantum Channels in Quantum Gravity (2014)
Journal Article
Rangamani, M., & Rota, M. (2014). Quantum Channels in Quantum Gravity. International Journal of Modern Physics D, 23(12), Article 1442009-1. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0218271814420097

The black hole final state proposal implements manifest unitarity in the process of black hole formation and evaporation in quantum gravity, by postulating a unique final state boundary condition at the singularity. We argue that this proposal can be... Read More about Quantum Channels in Quantum Gravity.
