description: A typical day in lockdown involves waking up at 8:15 and going on a run as I have recently completed couch to 5K and am trying to maintain my stamina. I come back home for breakfast and a shower and then get ready for the day. Having had to return from my year abroad, I use my time in lockdown to work on my Bridge Essay, read for my degree and practice my French as much as possible under the circumstances. I have also been trying to be more creative whether that is making a crown for my sister's dress-up zoom call or getting the sewing machine out and running up some masks ready for when we start to unlock. I found a simple pattern online and then have developed it to include a wire to shape the mask around the face, I also make them to size for each of my family members. I have also been organising the house, at the start of lockdown I organised every cupboard and drawer in my kitchen as well as had a sort out in my room and put some clothes on depop. More recently, due to the good weather, I have been doing some gardening with my mum, which we have really enjoyed especially when the garden centres reopened- we like to support our small local garden centre! I have also been doing some baking and even made a foccacia at the start of lockdown- which was only possible when we found a yeast and flour supplier as at the start these were really hard to come by! As a family we have spent lots of time together which has been nice as in the last few years my sister and I have gone to university and my brother, mum and dad have been working. My brother and dad worked from home for a couple of months, before my brother got furloughed. My mum was also furloughed but is enjoying using her free time to do tasks around the house she didn't get time to in the past. I think lockdown has taught me the importance of family and friends, as well as the importance of communication and technology. My nana had lived up to this point without any internet, and it was only due to the pandemic that as a family we got her set up with wi-fi and an iPad so we could FaceTime with her as well as send pictures and messages of what we have been up to, it has been really nice to be able to speak to her everyday and having her connected to the internet has hopefully helped some of the loneliness of this time for her.

description: We obtain a realization of the Lie superalgebra $D(2, 1 ; α)$ in differential operators on the supercircle $S^{1|2}$ and in $4\times 4$ matrices over a Weyl algebra. A contraction of $D(2, 1 ; α)$ is isomorphic to the universal central extension $\hat{\p\sł}(2|2)$ of $\p\sł(2|2)$. We realize it in $4\times 4$ matrices over the associative algebra of pseudodifferential operators on $S^1$. Correspondingly, there exists a three-parameter family of irreducible representations of $\hat{\p\sł}(2|2)$ in a $(2|2)$--dimensional complex superspace.

description: Measuring the resistance fluctuations of gas sensors provides new opportunities to enhance the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor. Taking advantage of this possibility requires special low-noise measurement hardware and software to acquire data and perform analysis. In this paper we will present a small, USB-powered device capable of doing precise measurement of the resistance fluctuations of different kinds of gas sensors. We have developed a graphical user interface software to control the parameters of the measurement, to collect data and perform real time analysis on the measured data. The analysis is based on a PCA algorithm, which is proven to be a high performance tool to support fluctuation enhanced sensing. The system has been tested on Taguchi and carbon nanotube based gas sensors as well. The main advantages of the system include the small form factor, low cost and the fully featured software performing all required data analysis operations. Complemented with a gas sensor and an optional test chamber, the setup can serve as an efficient tool for practical fluctuation-enhanced gas sensing.

description: As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, my final year lab project came to an early end and I moved back home to spend lockdown with my family. This has been the longest period of time that I have spent with my parents since before university, and the family dynamic has felt as though my brother and I are at school again and on an extended summer holiday. Completing coursework and writing my thesis has kept me busy at home, although I am sad to have missed my final term in Oxford and hope to return to celebrate with my friends soon.
Now that my final submissions are complete, and my post-graduation plans are uncertain, I am trying to make the most of this time by starting some new hobbies. So far, these have included pottery and playing Mario kart against my brother on our old Nintendo DS lites.

description: We use the three-dimensional Heisenberg model with site randomness as an effective model of the compound Sr(Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$)O$_2$. The model consists of two types of ions that correspond to Fe and Mn ions. The nearest-neighbor interactions in the ab-plane are antiferromagnetic. The nearest-neighbor interactions along the c-axis between Fe ions are assumed to be antiferromagnetic, whereas other interactions are assumed to be ferromagnetic. From Monte Carlo simulations, we confirm the existence of the double-$\boldsymbol{q}$ ordered phase characterized by two wave numbers, $(πππ)$ and $(π\pi0)$. We also identify the spin ordering pattern in the double-$\boldsymbol{q}$ ordered phase.

description: Kaon physics can test new-physics effects in leptonic or semileptonic decays. A unitarity test of the first row of the CKM mixing matrix is obtained from the precision measurements of Kl3 widths for K{\pm}, KL, and (unique to KLOE) KS. The KLOE measurement of RK = Γ(Ke2)/Γ(Kμ2) with an accuracy at the % level, aims at finding evidence of deviations from the SM prediction induced by lepton-flavor violation new-physics effects.

description: We analyze the interrelation between the coexistence curve of the Lennard-Jones fluid and the Ising model in two and three dimensions within the global isomorphism approach proposed earlier [V. L. Kulinskii, J. Phys. Chem. B \textbf{114} 2852 (2010)]. In case of two dimensions we use the exact Onsager result to construct the binodal of the corresponding Lennard-Jones fluid and compare it with the results of the simulations. In the three dimensional case we use available numerical results for the Ising model for the corresponding mapping. The possibility to observe the singularity of the binodal diameter is discussed.

Formation and process in repetitive post-tonal music
Creators: name: Boyle, Antares Leah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: A body of post-tonal compositions (including works by Berio, Birtwistle, Boulez, Donatoni, Feldman, and Sciarrino) engage in what I term “maximalist repetition”: they employ diverse ways of repeating material, with a particular focus on the varied repetition of short gestures and ideas. Their unique forms present a challenge to music analysts. While segmentation theories provide a method for identifying musical objects that result from repetition, these approaches do not typically account for processes and articulations that are less object-like. I propose an alternative method that recognizes other effects of maximalist repetition, such as continuative ostinato-like processes and segments without clear boundaries. Chapter 1 introduces the repertoire and identifies two important functions of repetition—the formation of musical objects and the emergence of long-range rhythmic processes—that motivate and structure the rest of the dissertation. Chapter 2 identifies several weaknesses in existing segmentation theories: they rely on crisp boundaries, neglect temporal processes, and do not propose qualitative distinctions between segments. I advocate integrating ideas of process, temporal function, and closure, drawn from accounts of phrase formation, with these Gestalt-based models. In Chapter 3 I do so, describing the features that afford perception of grouping functions (beginning and ending) and how potential segments are heard to form as a result. The chapter also addresses two other factors impacting degree of segment closure: rhythmic discontinuity and temporal schemas. I apply this model of segment formation and closure in analysis of music by Berio, Boulez, Donatoni, and Sciarrino. Chapter 4 surveys the literature on repetition as process, including accounts of ostinato repetition and groove, in order to better characterize the heightened sense of continuity that can result from ostinato-like repetition and identify the conditions in which it emerges. Chapter 5 uses these accounts to guide analysis of varied ostinato repetition in the repertoire under consideration, showing how excerpts by Birtwistle, Donatoni, and Feldman create their own unique grooves. Chapters 6 and 7 present focused analysis of longer passages and movements (by Sciarrino and Birtwistle) to demonstrate how repetitive post-tonal works articulate larger forms and processes. Chapter 8 summarizes and suggests areas for future research.

description: Free-living nematodes harbor and disseminate various soil-borne bacterial pathogens. Whether they function as vectors or environmental reservoirs for the aquatic L. pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, is unknown. A survey screening of biofilms of natural (swimming lakes) and technical (cooling towers) water habitats in Germany revealed that nematodes can act as potential reservoirs, vectors or grazers of L. pneumophila in cooling towers. Consequently, the nematode species Plectus similis and L. pneumophila were isolated from the same cooling tower biofilm and taken into a monoxenic culture. Using pharyngeal pumping assays, potential feeding relationships between P. similis and different L. pneumophila strains and mutants were examined and compared with Plectus sp., a species isolated from a L. pneumophila-positive thermal source biofilm. The assays showed that bacterial suspensions and supernatants of the L. pneumophila cooling tower isolate KV02 decreased pumping rate and feeding activity in nematodes. However, assays investigating the hypothesized negative impact of Legionella’s major secretory protein ProA on pumping rate revealed opposite effects on nematodes, which points to a species-specific response to ProA. To extend the food chain by a further trophic level, Acanthamoebae castellanii infected with L. pneumphila KV02 were offered to nematodes. The pumping rates of P. similis increased when fed with L. pneumophila-infected A. castellanii, while Plectus sp. pumping rates were similar when fed either infected or non-infected A. castellanii. This study revealed that cooling towers are the main water bodies where L. pneumophila and free-living nematodes coexist and is the first step in elucidating the trophic links between coexisting taxa from that habitat. Investigating the Legionella–nematode–amoebae interactions underlined the importance of amoebae as reservoirs and transmission vehicles of the pathogen for nematode predators.

description: It has been suggested that diffuse ionized gas can extend all the way to the end of the HI disc, and even beyond, such as in the case of the warped galaxy NGC 253 (Bland-Hawthorn et al. 1997). Detecting ionized gas at these radii could carry significant implications as to the distribution of dark matter in galaxies. With the aim of detecting this gas, we carried out a deep Halpha kinematical analysis of two Sculptor group galaxies, NGC 247 and NGC 300. The Fabry-Perot data were taken at the 36-cm Marseille Telescope in La Silla, Chile, offering a large field of view. With almost 20 hours of observations for each galaxy, very faint diffuse emission is detected. Typical emission measures of 0.1 cm^-6 pc are reached. For NGC 247, emission extending up to a radius comparable with that of the HI disc (r~13') is found, but no emission is seen beyond the HI disc. For NGC 300, we detect ionized gas on the entirety of our field of view (r_max~14'), and find that the bright HII regions are embedded in a diffuse background. Using the deep data, extended optical rotation curves are obtained, as well as mass models. These are the most extended optical rotation curves thus far for these galaxies. We find no evidence suggesting that NGC 247 has a warped disc, and to account for our non detection of Halpha emission beyond its HI disc, as opposed to the warped galaxy NGC 253, our results favour the model in which only through a warp, ionization by hot young stars in the central region of a galaxy can let photons escape and ionize the interstellar medium in the outer parts.

description: Phase-field fracture models provide a powerful approach to modeling fracture, potentially enabling the unguided prediction of crack growth in complex patterns. To ensure that only tensile stresses and not compressive stresses drive crack growth, several models have been proposed that aim to distinguish between compressive and tensile loads. However, these models have a critical shortcoming: they do not account for the crack direction, and hence they cannot distinguish between crack-normal tensile stresses that drive crack growth and crack-parallel stresses that do not.
 In this study, we apply a phase-field fracture model, developed in our earlier work, that uses the crack direction to distinguish crack-parallel stresses from crack-normal stresses. This provides a transparent energetic formulation that drives cracks to grow in when crack faces open or slide past each other, while the cracks respond like the intact solid when the crack faces contact under normal compressive loads. We compare our approach against two widely used approaches, Spectral splitting and the Volumetric-Deviatoric splitting, and find that these predict unphysical crack growth and unphysical stress concentrations under loading conditions in which these should not occur. Specifically, we show that the splitting models predict spurious crack growth and stress concentration under pure crack-parallel normal stresses. However, our formulation, which resolves the crack-parallel stresses from the crack-normal stresses, predicts these correctly.

description: The temperature dependent dc resistivity of the quasi-one-dimensional organic salts (TMTTF)2X ( X = PF6, AsF6, SbF6; BF4, ClO4, ReO4) has been measured in all three crystal directions in order to investigate anisotropy, localization effects, charge and anion ordering phenomena at low temperatures. For all compounds and directions we extract the transport mechanisms in different regimes. The data are thoroughly analyzed, related to structural properties, and extensively discussed in view of previous studies and latest theories. It becomes apparent that the anions have a severe influence on the physical properties of the TMTTF salts.

description: The event camera is a bio-inspired asynchronous brightness-change sensor capable of performing various computer vision tasks such as object tracking, object recognition, depth estimation, etc. The sparse event stream generated by the event camera contains pixel coordinates, timestamps, and polarity information corresponding to changes in brightness. Event representation refers to the specialised data preprocessing and arrangement on the event stream, which facilitates feature information extraction. Many types of event representations have been developed, but each has characteristics that vary in their applicability to different tasks. Meanwhile, many studies have attempted to use event cameras for 3D reconstruction tasks. Stereo event cameras have been more widely used in 3D reconstruction, mainly for real-time semi-dense reconstruction by calculating disparity information. On the other hand, methods based on monocular event cameras are fewer and can be divided into geometry-based real-time semi-dense reconstruction methods and deep learning-based dense reconstruction methods. Most of these methods require physical prior information, such as trajectories, and rely on a pipeline for arranging the procedures. Recently, the E2V method innovatively proposed a direct deep learning-based approach for dense voxel 3D reconstruction without requiring physical priors or a pipeline, which is a complete simplification of the event processing structure. We use the E2V method as the experimental baseline and aim to improve it through event representation. In this study, we propose five new event representation methods: Differencing Event Frame, Sobel Event Frame, Differencing Sobel Event Frame, High-Pass Event Frame, and Differencing High-Pass Event Frame. These methods enhance edge information in event frames to improve the reconstruction accuracy of the E2V method. Experiments show that our proposed best event representation method can improve the mIoU by 54% and F-Score by 38% compared to the E2V method under the same experimental conditions, which is a significant improvement. Additionally, we are the first to propose that the binarisation threshold in deep learning-based event-driven 3D reconstruction tasks should be dynamically selected for optimal performance.

description: My thesis focuses on the nineteenth-century Italian writer and journalist, Carlo Collodi. Specifically, it proposes a re-reading of the texts he wrote for primary school children from 1877 to 1890, centred around the child character of Giannettino. To date, these texts have received little attention, and are still regarded as revealing a conservative stance. This thesis develops a new re-reading of these texts and aims at their re-consideration within the discourse of Italian nation-building.

Nineteen molecular lines originating from CO, 13CO, HCO+ and H2O, plus lines of [N II] and [CI] were recorded, including several transitions not previously detected. The CO lines are excited in warm gas with Tkin ~ 125 K and nH2 ~ 7 x 10^4 cm-3, CO column density N(CO) ~ 3.5 x 10^18 cm^-2 and a filling factor of ~ 12%, and appear to trace gas associated with an outflow. The rotational temperature analysis incorporating observations from ground-based telescopes reveals an additional lower excitation CO compoment which has a temperature ~ 78 K and N(CO) ~ 4.5 x 10^21 cm^-2.

description: A rainbow-ladder truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, constrained by existing applications to hadron physics, is employed to compute the valence-quark parton distribution functions of the pion and kaon. Comparison is made to pi-N Drell-Yan data for the pion's u-quark distribution and to Drell-Yan data for the ratio u_K(x)/u_π(x): the environmental influence of this quantity is a parameter-free prediction, which agrees well with existing data. Our analysis unifies the computation of distribution functions with that of numerous other properties of pseudoscalar mesons.

description: Barnardo’s has a long history of helping people seeking sanctuary in the UK, and today our work includes supporting children and families that have arrived after fleeing the invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago. The Barnardo’s support to families from Ukraine over the past year builds on our significant experience across the UK of supporting refugees arriving from Afghanistan and Syria through a range of services. As the largest children’s charity in the UK – with more than 150 years of experience supporting children and families – Barnardo’s is able to provide the co-ordination and structure through which those displaced from Ukraine can be welcomed into a safe environment with support in place to ensure their needs are met. We fully understand that families fleeing Ukraine are likely to have experienced significant trauma and have limited resources, which, when combined, makes them highly vulnerable. In Scotland, we have developed the ‘Barnardo’s Scotland Welcome (Ukraine) Service’ because we recognised the need to reach those children, young people and families coming to Scotland to seek refuge from the war against Ukraine. This article sets out the details of the Barnardo’s Scotland response to the crisis and our learnings so far, in Scotland and across the UK, from the support we’ve provided.

description: The present paper considers the career of the famous Byzantine aristocrat George Maniakes. His life and fate demonstrates all the problems that faced the Byzantine Empire in the middle of the 11th century. The author gives a detailed biography of the Byzantine leader, who led a war with the Arabs, Normans and others, announces his military achievements and participation in court politics. Despite the fact that George Maniakes was a victorious commander, his achievements were not appreciated by the Constantinople Government: on the contrary, the aristocracy saw it as a threat, because he had the talent and military force in the unstable from a political point of view, period. After the rebellion of Isaac Komnenos, the famous commander was convicted, stripped of all titles and sent into exile. However, after the coup, carried out by Alexis I Comnenus, a nephew of the emperor Isaac, military aristocracy with which George Maniakes was connected by family or dynastic relations again came to power.

description: We study the influence of the phonon environment on the electron dynamics in a doped quantum dot molecule. A non-perturbative quantum kinetic theory based on correlation expansion is used in order to describe both diagonal and off-diagonal electron-phonon couplings representing real and virtual processes with relevant acoustic phonons. We show that the relaxation is dominated by phonon-assisted electron tunneling between constituent quantum dots and occurs on a picosecond time scale. The dependence of the time evolution of the quantum dot occupation probabilities on the energy mismatch between the quantum dots is studied in detail.

description: In this report for the interim National Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention, a cohort of serving, ex‑serving and reserve ADF members who have died by suicide and had at least 1 day of service since 1 January 2001 was examined. The analysis uses Department of Defence (Defence) and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) administrative population datasets, and combines these with other data sources through data-linkage to enable investigation of systemic evidence with a high level of applicability to inform policy and prevention programs.
Forest dependence and forest degradation in southern Malawi
Creators: name: Nerfa, Lauren

description: Rural small-holder farmers in the tropics rely on forests for multiple ecosystem services, such as provisioning services for fuelwood, timber, wild foods and medicinal plants. Yet many of these forests are undergoing degradation and loss, thus jeopardizing long-term ecosystem functioning and services. Measuring levels of forest dependence in agricultural communities is key to understanding livelihood sustainability and potential approaches to forest-based poverty alleviation. Understanding the ecological changes in forests where communities collect forest products, particularly fuelwood, is important for identifying approaches to forest conservation. To address these issues, I conducted social and ecological research in southern Malawi. I conducted household surveys (n=157) in agricultural communities to assess levels of forest dependence. I developed a new index to measure forest dependence that incorporates: the diversity of forest products collected to meet household needs, the effort involved in collection, relative wealth, and alternative livelihood strategies. I compared the index values for the study area to relative forest income values, the proportion of total income comprised by forest-derived income, which is the commonly used measurement of forest dependence. I showed that the relative forest income approach may underestimate levels of forest dependence, and that my new index provides insights into additional livelihood aspects of household forest dependence. I investigated tree species richness, abundance, diversity, composition and aboveground carbon (AGC) in forest plots (n=86) in the miombo woodlands where the farming communities harvest fuelwood, and compared them to reference sites in relatively undisturbed forests. I investigated whether proxies for harvesting access (elevation and distance to the main road) and harvesting pressure (number of settlements within a 3 km buffer) were correlated with the vegetation characteristics in the fuelwood harvesting sites. Tree species richness, abundance, diversity and AGC were lower in fuelwood harvesting sites than reference sites, species composition was significantly different, and the proxies for harvesting pressure and access were correlated with species abundance and AGC. The findings suggest that long-term sustainability of forest collection may be hindered due to forest degradation, which is problematic given the high forest dependence in the area. Interventions to increase sustainability of the social-ecological system could be explored.

description: We study the noise of the intensity variance and of the intensity correlation and structure functions measured in light scattering from a random medium in the case when these quantities are obtained by averaging over a finite number N of pixels of a digital camera. We show that the noise scales as 1/N in all cases and that it is sensitive to correlations of signals corresponding to adjacent pixels as well as to the effective time averaging (due to the finite sampling time) and spatial averaging (due to the finite pixel size). Our results provide a guide to estimation of noise level in such applications as the multi-speckle dynamic light scattering, time-resolved correlation spectroscopy, speckle visibility spectroscopy, laser speckle imaging etc.

description: The experience of doing final examinations during the lockdown has been surreal, to say the least. Waiting for the slow-acting faculties to provide us information on our new exam structures and then adjusting to new formats and regulations for exams and a new environment for revision was difficult but thanks to the help of my Oxford friends in similar positions and a few extremely dedicated tutors at Pembroke we managed to overcome a lot of the challenges posed. It's been difficult to balance the host of personal and home life issues that have been created as a result of the coronavirus and being in lockdown with family for 3 months, but thanks to the regular revision classes organised and by maintaining a daily evening call to check in with my tutorial partner I was able to keep persevering on. The sheer amount of events and content produced by the Pembroke JCR and other societies such as the Oxford LGBTQ+ Society was impressive and really touching to see - despite the loss of what was meant to be a memorable final experience in Oxford enjoying the best it has to offer, it was comforting to still feel like part of a community till the very end of our degrees.

description: Offene Wissenschaftspraktiken werden im wissenschaftlichen Alltag zunehmend relevant und können durch Monitoring besser sichtbar gemacht werden. Monitoring kann zudem Anreize schaffen, Open Science umzusetzen und Impulse für die Weiterentwicklung von Strategien oder Infrastrukturangeboten setzen. Da sich die Praktiken in den verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen unterscheiden, sollten Indikatoren für Open Science Monitoring kontextsensitiv sein; es gibt kein „one-size-fits-all“ Monitoring.

Das Implementierungsprojekt BUA Open Science Magnifiers baut auf den Erfahrungen aus dem Vorgängerprojekt BUA Open Science Dashboards und zielt darauf ab, Monitoring und Indikatoren für verschiedene Communities zu erarbeiten und in Dashboards zu visualisieren, sowie Positivbeispiele offener Forschung "unter die Lupe" zu nehmen. Projektpartner des von der Berlin University Alliance geförderten Projekts sind das QUEST Center for Responsible Research am Berlin Institute of Health der Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin und das Open-Access-Büro Berlin an der Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin.

description: My thesis focuses on the nineteenth-century Italian writer and journalist, Carlo Collodi. Specifically, it proposes a re-reading of the texts he wrote for primary school children from 1877 to 1890, centred around the child character of Giannettino. To date, these texts have received little attention, and are still regarded as revealing a conservative stance. This thesis develops a new re-reading of these texts and aims at their re-consideration within the discourse of Italian nation-building.
Post density functional theoretical studies of highly polar semiconductive Pb(Ti$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x}$)O$_{3-x}$ solid solutions: The effects of cation arrangement on band gap

description: We use a combination of conventional density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT methods, including the local density approximation plus Hubbard $U$ (LDA+$U$), PBE0, and self-consistent $GW$ to study the electronic properties of Ni-substituted PbTiO$_{3}$ (Ni-PTO) solid solutions. We find that LDA calculations yield unreasonable band structures, especially for Ni-PTO solid solutions that contain an uninterrupted NiO$_{2}$ layer. Accurate treatment of localized states in transition-metal oxides like Ni-PTO requires post-DFT methods. $B$-site Ni/Ti cation ordering is also investigated. The $B$-site cation arrangement alters the bonding between Ni and O, and therefore strongly affects the band gap ($E_{\rm g}$) of Ni-PTO. We predict that Ni-PTO solid solutions should have a direct band gap in the visible light energy range, with polarization similar to the parent PbTiO$_{3}$. This combination of properties make Ni-PTO solid solutions promising candidate materials for solar energy conversion devices.

description: Grand-unified models with extra dimensions at the GUT scale will typically contain exotic states with Standard Model charges and GUT-scale masses. They can act as messengers for gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. If the number of messengers is sizeable, soft terms for the visible sector fields will be predominantly generated by gauge mediation, while gravity mediation can induce a small mu parameter. We illustrate this hybrid mediation pattern with two examples, in which the superpartner spectrum contains light and near-degenerate higgsinos with masses below 200 GeV. The typical masses of all other superpartners are much larger, from at least 500 GeV up to several TeV. The lightest superparticle is the gravitino, which may be the dominant component of dark matter.

Using linear predictors to impute allele frequencies from summary or pooled genotype data

description: Recently-developed genotype imputation methods are a powerful tool for detecting untyped genetic variants that affect disease susceptibility in genetic association studies. However, existing imputation methods require individual-level genotype data, whereas, in practice, it is often the case that only summary data are available. For example, this may occur because, for reasons of privacy or politics, only summary data are made available to the research community at large; or because only summary data are collected, as in DNA pooling experiments. In this article we introduce a new statistical method that can accurately infer the frequencies of untyped genetic variants in these settings, and indeed substantially improve frequency estimates at typed variants in pooling experiments where observations are noisy. Our approach, which predicts each allele frequency using a linear combination of observed frequencies, is statistically straightforward, and related to a long history of the use of linear methods for estimating missing values (e.g., Kriging). The main statistical novelty is our approach to regularizing the covariance matrix estimates, and the resulting linear predictors, which is based on methods from population genetics. We find that, besides being both fast and flexible---allowing new problems to be tackled that cannot be handled by existing imputation approaches purpose-built for the genetic context---these linear methods are also very accurate. Indeed, imputation accuracy using this approach is similar to that obtained by state-of-the-art imputation methods that use individual-level data, but at a fraction of the computational cost.
