Car availability - new insights into model specification and selection for composite marginal likelihood estimation
Car availability - new insights into model specification and selection for composite marginal likelihood estimation. Presentation by Dr Romain Crastes for the Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) Seminar Series: www.its.leeds.ac.uk/about/events/seminar-series
Abstract:
This presentation investigates the determinants of car availability in Germany using a unique life course calendar data-set that covers 27 years of data. Modelling car availability over the life course requires to account for spurious state dependence (\emph{i.e.} autocorrelation of the errors). The dimension of integration increases with the number of time periods considered which rules out Maximum Simulated Likelihood (MSL) estimation techniques. An alternative is to use the Composite Marginal Likelihood (CML) inference approach, which replaces high-dimensional integrals by a compounding of bivariate probabilities. The current paper delves into the issue of how to form and select CML functions. Indeed, CML is a flexible tool and different pairs of bivariate margins can be used, leading to different results. The typical approach consists in using the pairing combinations of temporally close choice situations. In this paper, we suggest instead to use randomly selected pairs for each individual. We estimate a series of autoregressive random effects ordered probit models built from both close and random pairs and compare the results obtained using various goodness-of-fit indicators. Our results suggest that random pairs provide better fit and are computationally much less burdensome. These promising results also allow us to unravel the important role played by spurious state dependence in car availability across the life course.

ERC=Science² Public Lecture 3 - Dr Lars Jeuken: Bioenergy
As part of the ERC=Science² project, a series of public lectures will showcase cutting edge research at the University of Leeds funded by the highly presitigous European Research Council. From atmospheric chemists to musical historians, ERC grant-holders have secured millions of euros of competitive EU funding to undertake frontier research and make groundbreaking discoveries here at the University of Leeds. Come and hear how this research is progressing and the impact it could have on you and the world around you.
Lecture 3: Bioenergy: Do we have to exploit nature or can we learn from it?
Biology is very good at facilitating chemical reactions that are useful in energy conversion, including those that create electricity from hydrogen, create (solar) fuels after harvesting light, or convert carbon dioxide. However, technological and economical challenges have so far prevented biotechnology from making a real impact in these areas.
Dr Lars Jeuken from the University of Leeds will present current strategies where biological catalysts are used successfully in energy conversions. Through audience interaction, the benefits, drawbacks and limitations of biotechnology in the field of bioenergy will be discussed. Dr Jeuken will also present key results from a current project being undertaken at Leeds, funded by the European Research Council.

iPhone dunk shows the magic of "wet" computing
New liquid-cooled Iceotope computer servers installed at the University of Leeds cuts energy used for cooling Internet servers by more than 80 percent. The whirring fans of traditional computers are replaced by the barely-audible trickle of liquid. The heat released can be piped out to radiators to warm a building. The developers say it could revolutionise the energy-hungry data centres that form the fabric of our online lives.But don't we all know that liquid and electronics don't mix? Dr Jon Summers, from the University of Leeds' School of Mechanical Engineering, shows what happens when you put an iPhone in a beaker of the secret ingredient: 3M (TM) Novec (TM) liquid. For more details on the Iceotope Servers at Leeds see: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/3374/ WARNING: The phone experiment shown in this video is intended to demonstrate the special qualities of the liquid used in the Iceotope server. Putting an electronic device in liquid can cause problems other than a short circuit. Liquid is likely to be trapped and may affect the functionality of the device (eg. screen dimming or ghosting, speaker problems).

Modelling the uptake of active travel: from infrastructure to behaviour change
Modelling the uptake of active travel: from infrastructure to behaviour change. Presentation by Dr Robin Lovelace & Dr Malcolm Morgan for the Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) Seminar Series
www.its.leeds.ac.uk/about/events/seminar-series http://rpubs.com/RobinLovelace/335368
This talk provides an overview of the work that Robin Lovelace and Malcolm Morgan have been doing as part of their Department for Transport funded projects on the Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT, which has become part of UK government policy in the Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Strategy) and follow-on work on the Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit (CyIPT). Although strong evidence shows that infrastructure usually precedes (and to some extent causes) behaviour change the starting point of the talk will be behaviour: how do people currently get around and how could it be different, based on the fundamentals of route distance and hilliness. Robin demonstrates the PCT in action, talks about the R package stplanr that he developed to develop it, and outline plans for a globally scalable transport planning toolkit that builds on the PCT work.
Following this high-level overview, Malcolm zooms into the detail: How the CyIPT identifies the best places for infrastructure change and what that infrastructure should be. He also talks about the advanced programming techniques needed to process such complex geospatial network data at city to national levels.

Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leeds
Don't just learn physics, do physics.
Here at Leeds, we believe in giving you the opportunity to become involved in interesting, inspiring and inspirational physics. So, we offer you a number of ways during your degree to get involved in real physics and solve real problems.
All Leeds physics students do a project in their final year, working with one of our research groups. Many of our students have their project work published.
Our group industrial project optional module gives you the chance to investigate an application of physics in response to a real-life scientific problem set in an industrial, commercial or research context, making a real contribution to an industrial client.
Through our summer research placements, you could join one of our research groups. You’d work alongside physics academics for a period of eight weeks, be paid a salary, and contribute to real research projects.
At Leeds, our students don’t just learn physics. They do physics.
