Gene drive systems that enable super-Mendelian inheritance of a transgene have the potential to modify insect populations over a timeframe of a few years. We describe CRISPR-Cas9 endonuclease constructs that function as gene drive systems in Anophele...

Across the Saharan platform, mudrocks of latest Ordovician–Silurian age (the Tanezzuft Formation) are a major source rock interval for Palaeozoic petroleum systems, but source rock quality is variable and difficult to predict. In the Kufra Basin of s...

(2016). Order flow imbalances at the turn of the year. International Review of Financial Analysis, 76-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.irfa.2015.05.028

The paper provides evidence of a turn of the year effect in the order flow imbalance of both retail and institutional investors. In December there is net selling pressure which is reversed in January. We examine high frequency intraday order flow inf... Read More about Order flow imbalances at the turn of the year.

Theoretical Foundations for Evidence-Based Health Informatics: Why? How? (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Theoretical Foundations for Evidence-Based Health Informatics: Why? How?. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-678-1-614

A scientific approach to health informatics requires sound theoretical foundations. Health informatics implementation would be more effective if evidence-based and guided by theories about what is likely to work in what circumstances. We report on a...
