Twenty-five well-justified fossil calibrations for primate divergences (2023)
Journal Article
de Vries, D., & Beck, R. M. D. (2023). Twenty-five well-justified fossil calibrations for primate divergences. #Journal not on list, 26(1), https://doi.org/10.26879/1249

Phylogenies with estimates of divergence times are essential for investigating many evolutionary questions. In principle, “tip-dating” is arguably the most appropriate approach, with fossil and extant taxa analysed together in a single analysis, and...

Calculating the equivalent elastic moduli and their influence on modelling the sound insulation of softwood cross laminated timber (CLT) (2023)
Journal Article
Churchill, C., Nusser, B., & Lux, C. (2023). Calculating the equivalent elastic moduli and their influence on modelling the sound insulation of softwood cross laminated timber (CLT). Applied Acoustics, 205, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109277

There are characteristics unique to natural materials such as timber that must be dealt with carefully to develop successful sound insulation prediction models. Timber has low internal losses typical of low-density building materials but with materia...

Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population (2023)
Journal Article
Fenn, J., Taylor, C., Goertz, S., Wanelik, K. M., Paterson, S., Begon, M., …Bradley, J. (2023). Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population. BMC microbiology, 23(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-023-02824-x

Mammalian gastrointestinal microbiomes are highly variable, both within individuals and across populations, with changes linked to time and ageing being widely reported. Discerning patterns of change in wild mammal popula- tions can therefore prove... Read More about Discrete patterns of microbiome variability across timescales in a wild rodent population.

Advancing operational flood forecasting, early warning and risk management with new emerging science (2023)
Journal Article
Kiptum, A., Mwangi, E., Otieno, G., Njogu, A., Kilavi, M., Mwai, Z., …C. Todd, M. (2023). Advancing operational flood forecasting, early warning and risk management with new emerging science. Journal of Flood Risk Management, https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12884

Kenya and the wider East African region suffer from significant flood risk, as illustrated by major losses of lives, livelihoods and assets in the most recent years. This is likely to increase in future as exposure rises and rainfall intensifies unde...

Deriving Environmental Risk Profiles for Autonomous Vehicles From Simulated Trips (2023)
Journal Article
Anih, J., Kolekar, S., Dargahi, T., Babaie, M., Saraee, M., & Wetherell, J. (2023). Deriving Environmental Risk Profiles for Autonomous Vehicles From Simulated Trips. IEEE Access, 11, 38385-38398. https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2023.3261245

The commercial adoption of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and the positive impact they are expected to have on traffic safety depends on appropriate insurance products due to the high potential losses. A significant proportion of these losses are expected... Read More about Deriving Environmental Risk Profiles for Autonomous Vehicles From Simulated Trips.

A novel weight-assignment load balancing algorithm for cloud applications (2023)
Journal Article
Adewojo, A., & Bass, J. (in press). A novel weight-assignment load balancing algorithm for cloud applications. SN Computer Science, 4, https://doi.org/10.1007/s42979-023-01702-7

Web applications commonly suffer from flash crowds and resource failure, resulting in performance degradation. Flash crowds are large, sudden, yet legitimate influxes of user requests that constitute a critical problem because of their potential econ...
