Spatial and temporal epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 virus lineages in Teesside, UK, in 2020: effects of socio-economic deprivation, weather, and lockdown on lineage dynamics by Moss, E.D., Rushton, S.P., Baker, P., Bashton, M., Crown, M.R., dos Santos, R.N., Nelson, A., O’Brien, S.J., Richards, Z., Sanderson, R.A., Yew, W.C., Young, G.R., McCann, C.M., Smith, D.L.

“…Methods: We examined the spatial and temporal patterns of COVID-19 in the Teesside sub-region of the UK, from January to December 2020, capturing the first two waves of the epidemic. We used a combination of disease mapping and mixed-effect modelling to analyse the total positive tests, and those of the eight most common virus lineages, in response to potential infection risk factors: socio-economic deprivation, population size, temperature, rainfall, government interventions, and a government restaurant subsidy (“Eat Out to Help Out”). …”

Measurement-Based Prediction of mmWave Channel Parameters Using Deep Learning and Point Cloud by Hang Mi, Bo Ai, Ruisi He, Anuraag Bodi, Raied Caromi, Jian Wang, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Yang Miao

“…First, we introduce a novel measurement campaign for indoor mmWave channel at 60 GHz, where a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor and panoramic camera were co-located with a channel sounder and then time-synchronized point clouds and images were captured to describe environmental information. Furthermore, a fusion method between the point clouds and images is proposed based on geometric relationship between the LiDAR and camera, to compress the size of the data collected. …”
