Quantitative modelling of CRISPR-Cas editing outcomes
… being targeted, thus making it amenable to quantitative modelling. My research focuses on building such models in a variety of contexts. In this thesis, I recount the history of gene editing from transgenesis to prime editors. I then review the modelling techniques I use in my projects, …

Quantitative modelling of spatial variability in the north Atlantic spring phytoplankton bloom
The effects of variability in the physical environment on the development of the spring phytoplankton bloom are investigated using a physically forced model of the annual plankton cycle in the ocean mixed layer. The model is optimised to fit survey data from the eastern North Atlantic, collected …

Exploring the use of quantitative modelling approaches to support volcanic crisis management in the Auckland Volcanic Field
… the volcano. This thesis investigates the use of quantitative hazard and risk modelling approaches to support such decision-making during a volcanic crisis, focusing on the decision to call an evacuation in areas of distributed volcanism. The monogenetic Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) beneath …

Modelling and Evaluation of Performance, Security and Database Management Trade-offs in Cloud Computing Platforms. An investigation into quantitative modelling and simulation analysis of ‘optimal’ performance, security and database management trade-offs in Cloud Computing Platforms (CCPs), based on Stochastic Activity Networks (SANs) and a three-tier combined metrics
A framework for the quantitative analysis of performance, security and database management within a network system (e.g. a cloud computing platform) is presented within this research. Our study provides a methodology for modelling and quantitatively generating significant metrics needed in the …

Landscape forcing mechanisms on Quaternary timescales: The Tabernas Basin, SE Spain
… of geospatial interpolation and numerical modelling. The results of conceptual and quantitative modelling approaches highlight the dominance of non-uniform rates of base-level change driven by variable rates of tectonic uplift throughout the Mid-Late Pleistocene. Enhanced uplift in the west …

Cash & Carry Sector: Location Models and GIS Decision Support
… of competitiveness, subjective judgements and quantitative modelling, etc., have been explored in the configuration of a regression model for the sector. The resulting model based on the data from a British Cash & Carry company has achieved the highest R2 and R 2 (adj) when compared to similar …

Integrate-and-fire modelling of neuronal systems with modulatory properties
The mathematical modelling of behaviour at the single neuron level is an important part of computational neuroscience. Conductance-based models remain dominant because of their biophysical interpretation. Nevertheless, their high dimensionality and number of parameters complicate mathematical …

An investigation of the energy and environmental sustainability impact of affordable net-zero energy house in South Africa
… and an affordable housing specialist. Quantitative modelling utilised One Click LCA and the Edge App to estimate the life cycle carbon emissions of an affordable net-zero energy house. The findings indicate that affordable net-zero energy housing can substantially reduce both …

New regolith mapping approaches for old Australian landscapes.
… (i.e. soil-landscape mapping) approaches to quantitative, digital survey underpinned by statistical methods. These new quantitative approaches are enabling the prediction of specific soil properties with associated estimates of model confidence or uncertainty not possible using traditional …

Gene regulatory network modelling with evolutionary algorithms -an integrative approach
… with disease). Gene regulatory network (GRN) quantitative modelling is still limited, however, due to data issues such as noise and restricted length of time series, typically used for GRN reverse engineering. These issues create an under-determination problem, with many models possibly …
