Reimagining Parliamentary Governance (2024)
Book Chapter
Yong, B. (in press). Reimagining Parliamentary Governance. In D. Judge, & C. Leston-Bandeira (Eds.), Reimagining Parliament. Bristol University Press

This chapter examines the important, but often overlooked, issue of parliamentary governance. How parliament organises and maintains itself is a fundamental question of the UK’s constitution: it goes to legitimacy and effectiveness of the legislature...

DESI mock challenge: constructing DESI galaxy catalogues based on FastPM simulations (2023)
Journal Article
Variu, A., Alam, S., Zhao, C., Chuang, C., Yu, Y., Forero-Sánchez, D., …Zhou, Z. (2024). DESI mock challenge: constructing DESI galaxy catalogues based on FastPM simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 527(4), 11539-11558. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3742

Together with larger spectroscopic surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), the precision of large scale structure studies and thus the constraints on the cosmological parameters are rapidly improving. Therefore, one must buil... Read More about DESI mock challenge: constructing DESI galaxy catalogues based on FastPM simulations.

Millimeter-Wave Massive MU-MIMO Performance Analysis for Private Underground Mine Communications (2023)
Journal Article
Hadji, S. E., Nedil, M., Seddiki, M. L., & Mabrouk, I. B. (2024). Millimeter-Wave Massive MU-MIMO Performance Analysis for Private Underground Mine Communications. IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 72(2), 1792-1803. https://doi.org/10.1109/tap.2023.3340301

In this article, a performance analysis of millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) channel within an underground mine is performed. The analysis is based on channel measurements conducted at 28 GHz usin... Read More about Millimeter-Wave Massive MU-MIMO Performance Analysis for Private Underground Mine Communications.

Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: a comparison of observable and simulated intracluster light fractions (2023)
Journal Article
Brough, S., Ahad, S. L., Bahé, Y. M., Ellien, A., Gonzalez, A. H., Jiménez-Teja, Y., …Mihos, J. C. (2024). Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: a comparison of observable and simulated intracluster light fractions. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 528(1), 771-795. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3810

Intracluster light (ICL) provides an important record of the interactions galaxy clusters have undergone. However, we are limited in our understanding by our measurement methods. To address this, we measure the fraction of cluster light that is held... Read More about Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C.
