The Status of Samaritans in Sixteenth-Century Ottoman Damascus Open

Kameliya Atanasova, Matthew Chalmers · 2023

In this article, we explore the status of Samaritans in early modern Ottoman Damascus through a focus on a particular firman —a sultanic legal decree. The firman orders that Samaritans—a religious group that traces its origins to ancient I…

Probabilistic Formal Modelling to Uncover and Interpret Interaction Styles Open

Oana Andrei, Muffy Calder, Matthew Chalmers, Alistair Morrison · 2023

We present a study using new computational methods, based on a novel combination of machine learning for inferring admixture hidden Markov models and probabilistic model checking, to uncover interaction styles in a mobile app. These styles…

Communicating the next collider Open

Matthew Chalmers, No Coauthors · 2022

The LHC captured the world’s attention when it started up in 2008. How should particle physicists make the case for the next major collider? Through the lens of the CERN Courier, the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physic…

Model physicist : Interview with Steven Weinberg Open

Matthew Chalmers · 2017

Theorist Steven Weinberg talks about his seminal 1967 work and reflects on the status of the field now that all the particles on the electroweak menu have been discovered.

Study protocol of European Fans in Training (EuroFIT): a four-country randomised controlled trial of a lifestyle program for men delivered in elite football clubs Open

User trial of the ScreenLife personal tracking application Open

Parvin Asadzadeh, Matthew Chalmers, Alistair Morrison, John Rooksby, Mattias Rost · 2016

ScreenLife is a personal tracking application developed at the University of Glasgow. It enables users to view data about how long they spend using digital devices such as laptops, mobile phones and tablets. ScreenLife has two general comp…

Uncovering smartphone usage patterns with multi‐view mixed membership models Open

Seppo Virtanen, Mattias Rost, Alistair Morrison, Matthew Chalmers, Mark Girolami · 2016

We present a novel class of mixed membership models for combining information from multiple data sources inferring inter‐view and intra‐view statistical associations. An important contemporary application of this work is the meaningful syn…

Probabilistic Formal Analysis of App Usage to Inform Redesign Open

Oana Andrei, Muffy Calder, Matthew Chalmers, Alistair Morrison, Mattias Rost · 2015

This paper sets out a process of app analysis intended to support understanding of use but also redesign. From usage logs we infer activity patterns - Markov models - and employ probabilistic formal analysis to ask questions about the use …

Forsaken pentaquark particle spotted at CERN Open

Pass the Ball Open

John Rooksby, Mattias Rost, Alistair Morrison, Matthew Chalmers · 2015

We have developed a mobile application called Pass The Ball that enables users to track, reflect on, and discuss physical activity with others. We followed an iterative design process, trialling a first version of the app with 20 people an…
