• The impact of individual patient data in a network meta-analysis: an investigation into parameter estimation and model selection 

  Leahy, Joe; O'Leary, Aisling; Afdhal, Nezam; Gray, Emma; Milligan, Scott; Wehmeyer, Malte H.; Walsh, Cathal Dominic (Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018)

  The use of individual patient data (IPD) in network meta-analysis (NMA) is becoming increasingly popular. However, as most studies do not report IPD, most NMAs are performed using aggregate data for at least some, if not ...
• Mantra meditation programme for emergency department staff: a qualitative study

• Sinking bubbles in stout beers 

  Lee, William T.; Kaar, S.; O'Brien, Stephen B.G. (American Assocation of Physics Teachers, 2018)

  A surprising phenomenon witnessed by many is the sinking bubbles seen in a settling pint of stout beer. Bubbles are less dense than the surrounding fluid so how does this happen? Previous work has shown that the explanation ...
• Singular FIOs in SAR Imaging, II: transmitter and receiver at different speeds

• Characterizing the analogy between hyperbolic embedding and community structure of complex networks 

  Faqeeh, Ali; Osat, Saeed; Radicchi, Filippo (American Physical Society, 2018)
