Pregnolato, M. (author), West, C. (author), Evans, B. (author), Lam, Man Yue (author), Chen, A. S. (author), Ahmadian, R. (author), Djordjević, S. (author)Urban resilience to natural hazards could make our cities less vulnerable to adverse weather events. However, the implementation of resilience actions is currently not effective, as mechanisms to facilitate collaboration among involved stakeholders are missing. This paper for the first time explores causal mapping as a method to disassemble...journal article 2024

Evans, Josephine (author), Yoldas, H. (author)We prove that linear and weakly nonlinear run and tumble equations converge to a unique steady state solution with an exponential rate in a weighted total variation distance. In the linear setting, our result extends the previous results to an arbitary dimension d≥1 while relaxing the assumptions. The main challenge is that even though the...journal article 2023

Schmidt, Mathias (author), Noel, L.F.P. (author), Doble, Keenan (author), Evans, John A. (author), Maute, Kurt (author)This paper presents an immersed, isogeometric finite element framework to predict the response of multi-material, multi-physics problems with complex geometries using locally refined discretizations. To circumvent the need to generate conformal meshes, this work uses an extended finite element method (XFEM) to discretize the governing...journal article 2023

Evans, Barry (author), Lam, Arthur (author), West, Charles (author), Ahmadian, Reza (author), Djordjević, Slobodan (author), Chen, Albert (author), Pregnolato, M. (author)With the increase of the frequency and severity of flooding events, coupled with population growth, the risks posed to people from flooding is ever more apparent. This paper proposes a methodology to examine the risks posed to vehicles' occupants and pedestrians simultaneously in an urban context. Through considering stability functions of a...journal article 2023

While co-creation methods could help to address this, there is little information available to researchers and practitioners on how, why and when to use co-creation for developing RI guidelines, nor what the outcomes of co-creation...journal article 2023

Evans, Michael (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Angeli, David (author)This paper proposes a framework for the procurement of flexibility reserve from aggregated storage fleets. It allows for arbitrary tree structures of aggregation hierarchy, as well as easily implementable disaggregation via broadcast dispatch. By coupling discharge and recovery modes, the proposed framework enables full-cycle capacity to be...journal article 2022

(author)Exospheric temperature is one of the key parameters in constructing thermospheric models and has been extensively studied with in situ observations and remote sensing. The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) at a geosynchronous vantage point provides dayglow limb images for two longitude sectors, from which we can estimate...journal article 2022

Cross, Katie (author), Evans, Jamie (author), MacLeavy, Julie (author), Manley, D.J. (author)In the UK the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 mitigations over the course of the pandemic (March 2020 to the time of writing in January 2022) have been experienced unevenly and with differential intensities at both the regional and local scales. Using individual-level geocoded data (from the Understanding Society: UK Household...journal article 2022

(author)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forecasts from over 100 models are readily available. However, little published information exists regarding the performance of their uncertainty estimates (i.e. probabilistic performance). To evaluate their probabilistic performance, we employ the classical model (CM), an established method typically used...journal article 2022

Noel, L.F.P. (author), Schmidt, M. (author), Doble, K. (author), Evans, J. A. (author), Maute, K. (author)Multi-material problems often exhibit complex geometries along with physical responses presenting large spatial gradients or discontinuities. In these cases, providing high-quality body-fitted finite element analysis meshes and obtaining accurate solutions remain challenging. Immersed boundary techniques provide elegant solutions for such...journal article 2022

Colonna, Kyle J. (author), Koutrakis, Petros (author), Kinney, Patrick L. (author), Cooke, R.M. (author), Evans, John S. (author)Epidemiologic cohort studies have consistently demonstrated that long-term exposure to ambient fine particles (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) is associated with mortality. Nevertheless, extrapolating results to understudied locations may involve considerable uncertainty. To explore this issue, this review discusses the evidence for (i) the associated risk...review 2022

(author)One of the most exciting scientific challenges is to detect Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of other stars in the galaxy and search for evidence of life. During the past 20 years the detection of exoplanets, orbiting stars beyond our own, has moved from science fiction to science fact. From the first handful of gas giants, found...journal article 2021

Zachary, Stan (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Evans, Michael (author), Cruise, James (author), Angeli, David (author)The increasing reliance on renewable energy generation means that storage may well play a much greater role in the balancing of future electricity systems. We show how heterogeneous stores, differing in capacity and rate constraints, may be optimally, or nearly optimally, scheduled to assist in such balancing, with the aim of minimizing the...journal article 2021

Evans, Michael (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author)This paper presents a framework for deriving the storage capacity that an electricity system requires in order to satisfy a chosen risk appetite. The framework takes as inputs user-defined event categories, parameterised by peak power-not-served, acceptable number of events per year and permitted probability of exceeding these constraints, and...conference paper 2020

(author)White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are the most common brain-imaging feature of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), hypertension being the main known risk factor. Here, we identify 27 genome-wide loci for WMH-volume in a cohort of 50,970 older individuals, accounting for modification/confounding by hypertension. Aggregated WMH risk variants...journal article 2020

Evans, Michael (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Angeli, David (author)We consider the problem of dispatching a fleet of heterogeneous energy storage units to provide grid support. Under the restriction that recharging is not possible during the time frame of interest, we develop an aggregate measure of fleet flexibility with an intuitive graphical interpretation. This analytical expression summarises the full set...journal article 2020

Evans, Michael (author), Angeli, David (author), Strbac, Goran (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author)We present a method to find the maximum magnitude of any supply-shortfall service that an aggregator of energy storage devices is able to sell to a grid operator. This is first demonstrated in deterministic settings, then applied to scenarios in which device availabilities are stochastic. In this case we implement chance constraints on the...conference paper 2019
