Analysis of United Kingdom offshore wind farm performance using public data: improving the evidence base for policymaking. [PDF]
Policymakers and regulators increasingly need to balance the requirements of energy demand, security and costs, and to do so they need accurate estimates of performance.

A deep convolutional neural network model for rapid prediction of fluvial flood inundation [PDF]
Most of the two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic/hydrodynamic models are still computationally too demanding for real-time applications. In this paper, an innovative modelling approach based on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) method is presented for rapid prediction of fluvial flood inundation.

Decentralising the United Kingdom: the Northern Powerhouse strategy and urban ownership links between firms since 2010 [PDF]
This paper explores a decentralisation initiative in the United Kingdom - the Northern Powerhouse strategy (NPS) - in terms of its main goal: strengthening connectivity between Northern cities of England. It focuses on economic interactions of these cities, defined by ownership linkages between firms, since the NPS's launch in 2010.

Emerging Waterborne Infections in Health-Care Settings
Water is used in vast quantities in health-care premises. Many aquatic microorganisms can survive and flourish in water with minimal nutrients and can be transferred to vulnerable hospital patients in direct (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, surface ...

Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction for Amplification of the Cryptosporidium Oocyst Wall Protein Gene
We developed a sensitive nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure for the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene. Amplification and genotyping were successful in 95.2% of 1,680 fecal samples, 77.6% by the unnested and 17.6% by the nested

Volume of hyperintense inflammation (VHI): a deep learning-enabled quantitative imaging biomarker of inflammation load in spondyloarthritis [PDF]
Short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) MRI is widely used in clinical practice to identify and quantify inflammation in axial spondyloarthritis. However, assessment of STIR images is limited by the need for qualitative evaluation, which depends on observer experience and expertise, creating substantial variability in inflammation assessments ...
