Modular Dynamic Emulation and Internal Model Discrepancy for a Rainfall Runoff Model (2010)
Report
Vernon, I., Seheult, A., & Goldstein, M. (2010). Modular Dynamic Emulation and Internal Model Discrepancy for a Rainfall Runoff Model. MUCM

We construct a simple modular dynamic emulator for a rainfall runoff model. We investigate the accuracy of such an emulator and discuss the difficulties of such an approach. The emulator is used to investigate the effects of certain internal uncertai... Read More about Modular Dynamic Emulation and Internal Model Discrepancy for a Rainfall Runoff Model.

Field Compressing Magnetothermal Instability in Laser Plasmas (2010)
Journal Article
Bissell, J., Ridgers, C., & Kingham, R. (2010). Field Compressing Magnetothermal Instability in Laser Plasmas. Physical Review Letters, 105(17), Article 175001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.105.175001

The mechanism for a new instability in magnetized plasmas is presented and a dispersion relation derived. Unstable behavior is shown to result purely from transport processes—feedback between the Nernst effect and the Righi-Leduc heat-flow phenomena...

A note on rapidity distributions at the LHC (2010)
Preprint / Working Paper
Schegelsky, V., Ryskin, M., Martin, A., & Khoze, V. (2010). A note on rapidity distributions at the LHC

We discuss the difference between the distribution of secondaries measured in terms of pseudorapidity and that using the correct rapidity variable. We show a set of examples obtained using Monte Carlo simulations. We also consider the production of p... Read More about A note on rapidity distributions at the LHC.

A Compartmental Model Analysis of Integrative and Self-Regulatory Ion Dynamics in Pollen Tube Growth (2010)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Piette, B., Deeks, M., Franklin-Tong, V., & Hussey, P. (2010). A Compartmental Model Analysis of Integrative and Self-Regulatory Ion Dynamics in Pollen Tube Growth. PLoS ONE, 5(10), Article e13157. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0013157

Sexual reproduction in higher plants relies upon the polarised growth of pollen tubes. The growth-site at the pollen tube tip responds to signalling processes to successfully steer the tube to an ovule. Essential features of pollen tube growth are po...

The Parameter Space of Galaxy Formation (2010)
Journal Article
Bower, R., Vernon, I., Goldstein, M., Benson, A., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., …Frenk, C. (2010). The Parameter Space of Galaxy Formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 407(4), 2017-2045. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16991.x

Semi-analytic models are a powerful tool for studying the formation of galaxies. However, these models inevitably involve a significant number of poorly constrained parameters that must be adjusted to provide an acceptable match to the observed Unive...

Canonical surfaces associated with projectors in Grassmannian sigma models (2010)
Journal Article
Hussin, V., Yurdusen, I., & Zakrzewski, W. (2010). Canonical surfaces associated with projectors in Grassmannian sigma models. Journal of Mathematical Physics, 51(10), Article 103509. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3486690

We discuss the construction of higher-dimensional surfaces based on the harmonic maps of S2 into PN−1 and other Grassmannians. We show that there are two ways of implementing this procedure—both based on the use of the relevant projectors. We study v...

A nonpotential model for the Sun's open magnetic flux (2010)
Journal Article
Yeates, A., Mackay, D., van Ballegooijen, A., & Constable, J. (2010). A nonpotential model for the Sun's open magnetic flux. Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 115(A9), https://doi.org/10.1029/2010ja015611

[1] Measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) over several solar cycles do not agree with computed values of open magnetic flux from potential field extrapolations. The discrepancy becomes greater around solar maximum in each cycle when... Read More about A nonpotential model for the Sun's open magnetic flux.

A Bayes Linear Approach to Systems Biology (2010)
Report
Vernon, I. R., & Goldstein, M. (2010). A Bayes Linear Approach to Systems Biology. MUCM

As post-genomic biology becomes more predictive, the inference of rate parameters that feature in both genetic and biochemical networks becomes increasingly important. Here we present a novel methodology for inference of such parameters in the case o... Read More about A Bayes Linear Approach to Systems Biology.

Cracking the Taub-NUT (2010)
Journal Article
Dechant, P., Lasenby, A., & Hobson, M. (2010). Cracking the Taub-NUT. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 27(18), Article 185010. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/27/18/185010

We present further analysis of an anisotropic, non-singular early universe model that leads to the viable cosmology presented in Dechant et al (2009 Phys. Rev. D 79, 043524). Although this model (the Dechant–Lasenby–Hobson (DLH) model) contains scala... Read More about Cracking the Taub-NUT.
