A generative model for evaluating missing data methods in large epidemiological cohorts by Lav Radosavljević, Stephen M. Smith, Thomas E. Nichols

“…Methods We propose a tool for generating mixed type missing data mimicking key properties of a given real large scale epidemiological data set with both structured and unstructured missingness while accounting for informative missingness. The process involves identifying sub-studies using hierarchical clustering of missingness patterns and modelling the dependence of inter-variable correlation and co-missingness patterns. …”

Impact of trapping on tritium self-sufficiency and tritium inventories in fusion power plant fuel cycles by Samuele Meschini, Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, George R. Tynan, Sara E. Ferry

“…The results show an increase of a factor $10^3 - 10^4$ of tritium inventory in the first wall and vacuum vessel of an ARC-class FPP when accounting for the aforementioned phenomena. This, coupled with the replacement of components subject to significant tritium trapping, slows down fuel cycle dynamics, resulting in an extended tritium doubling time (50% increase), higher start-up inventory (30% increase), and higher required tritium breeding ratio (2%–5%) compared to a scenario without tritium trapping.…”
