From Walras’ auctioneer to continuous time double auctions: A general dynamic theory of supply and demand
and 1 collaborator
In standard Walrasian auctions, the price of a good is defined as the point where the supply and demand curves intersect. Since both curves are generically regular, the response to small perturbations is linear...
Implementing Improved Algorithms for Asteroid Shape Reconstruction using Radar Images
I present the progress that has been made towards implementing a Square Root Information Filter (SRIF) into the asteroid-modelling software SHAPE. I compare SRIF’s performance with the current fitting algorithm...
The effect of carbon subsidies on marine planktonic niche partitioning and recruitment during biofilm assembly
and 1 collaborator
INTRODUCTION Biofilms are diverse and complex microbial consortia, and, the biofilm lifestyle is the rule rather than the exception for microbes in many environments. Large and small-scale biofilm architectural...
Counting the Cost: A Report on APC-supported Open Access Publishing in a Research Library
and 2 collaborators
At one-hundred twenty-two articles published, the open access journal _Tremor and other Hyperkinetic Movements_ (tremorjournal.org, ISSN: 2160-8288), is growing its readership and expanding its influence among ...
Two Local Volume Dwarf Galaxies Discovered in 21 cm Emission: Pisces A and B
and 4 collaborators
INTRODUCTION The properties of faint dwarf galaxies at or beyond the outer reaches of the Local Group (1 − 5 Mpc) probe the efficiency of environmentally driven galaxy formation processes and provide direct tes...
Photometric Science Alerts From Gaia
Gaia is a European Space Agency (ESA) astrometry space mission, and a successor to the ESA Hipparcos mission. The main goal of the Gaia mission is to collect high-precision astrometric data (i.e. positions, par...
Predictions for Observing Protostellar Outflows with ALMA
and 2 collaborators
INTRODUCTION Young protostars are observed to launch energetic collimated bipolar mass outflows . These protostellar outflows play a fundamental role in the star formation process on a variety of scales. On sub...
Non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs mediate dinitrogen fixation in biological soil crusts during early crust formation
and 3 collaborators
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (BSC) are key components of ecosystem productivity in arid lands and they cover a substantial fraction of the terrestrial surface. In particular, BSC N₂-fixation contributes sign...
Comparison of Various Time-to-Collision Prediction and Aggregation Methods for Surrogate Safety Analysis
and 2 collaborators
INTRODUCTION Traditional methods of road safety analysis rely on direct road accident observations, data sources which are rare and expensive to collect and which also carry the social cost of placing citizens ...
Event Sourcing Design Pattern in a Java Enterprise Application
Abstract This diploma thesis provides general information about the Event Sourcing design pattern and principles of the closely associated CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) design pattern and thei...
IEDA EarthChem: Supporting the sample-based geochemistry community with data resources to accelerate scientific discovery
ABSTRACT Integrated sample-based geochemical measurements enable new scientific discoveries in the Earth sciences. However, integration of geochemical data is difficult because of the variety of sample types an...
Agroforestry: An adaptation measure for sub-Saharan African food systems in response to increased weather extremes due to climate change
and 1 collaborator
This paper examines the impact of increasing weather extremes due to climate change on African food systems. The specific focus lies on agroforestry adaptation measures that can be applied by smallholder farmer...
On Algorithms, ‘Big Data’ and the Future of Psychometrics
Kenneth D. Royal and Melanie Lybarger The topic of automation replacing human jobs has been receiving a great deal of media attention in recent months. In January, the McKinsey Global Institute (Manyika et al....
Smoke gets in your tics
Many (though not all) of my patients who have tried marijuana have felt that their tics improved after using it. Such self-treatment is not rare (poster P94 here), and other doctors report similar results (see ...

Mendelian Randomisation: A Minireview
Mendelian randomisation is a technique which, fuelled by the results of GWA studies, can be used to determine causal relationships between intermediate phenotypes such as metabolite levels and outcomes such as ...
Case Commentary: Severe Combined Immune Deficiencies
This case commentary concerns a 3-month old female infant (of parents who were first cousins) who presented with persistent diarrhoea, failure to thrive, and a low lymphocyte count. The topics addressed include...
Vaccines for Tumours: Melanoma
This case commentary concerns a 56-year-old patient with stage III malignant melanoma which was removed but within 7 months the patient developed secondary tumours in his vertebrae. A multi-epitope vaccination ...
The arXiv of the future will not look like the arXiv
and 2 collaborators
The arXiv is the most popular preprint repository in the world. Since its inception in 1991, the arXiv has allowed researchers to freely share publication-ready articles prior to formal peer review. The growth ...
