An exploration of the barriers to attendance at the English Stop Smoking Services.
INTRODUCTION: Despite the availability of effective stop smoking assistance, most smokers do not utilise formal cessation programmes such as the English Stop Smoking Services (SSS). We modified the Treatment Barriers...
Multi-level emulation of tsunami simulations over Cilacap, South Java, Indonesia
Carrying out a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) requires a large number of simulations done at a high resolution. Statistical emulation builds a surrogate to replace the simulator and thus reduces computational...

Determinants of energy consumption and exposure to energy price risk
Abstract: In this study, we examine the drivers of household energy consumption with a view towards gauging which households are particularly vulnerable to energy price risk. We specifically investigate the relative importance...
Are predictors of making a quit attempt the same as predictors of 3-month abstinence from smoking? Findings from a sample of smokers recruited for a study of computer-tailored smoking cessation advice in primary care.
AIMS: To identify predictors of quit attempts and of 3-month abstinence from cigarette smoking. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of data gathered for a two-armed randomized controlled trial with 6-month follow-up. SETTING: A total of...

Generalizing About Striking Properties
Two experiments investigated whether 4- and 5-year-old children are sensitive to whether the content of a generalization is about a salient or noteworthy property (henceforth "striking") and whether varying the number of...

Enhancer accessibility and CTCF occupancy underlie asymmetric TAD architecture and cell type specific genome topology.
Christopher Barrington, Dimitra Georgopoulou, Dubravka Pezic, Wazeer Varsally, Javier Herrero, Suzana Hadjur
Jul 01, 2020
Cohesin and CTCF are master regulators of genome topology. How these ubiquitous proteins contribute to cell-type specific genome structure is poorly understood. Here, we explore quantitative aspects of topologically associated...
