• Peculiar property of noble gases and its explanation through the Enskog-Vlasov model 

  Benilov, Eugene; Benilov, M.S. (American Physical Society, 2019)

  An observation is presented that the ratio of the critical and triple-point temperatures T-cr/T-tp of neon, argon, krypton, and xenon fit within a narrow interval, T-cr/T-tp = 1.803 +/- 0.5%, and the same applies to the ...
• Medical management of acute upper respiratory infections in an urban primary care out-of-hours facility: crosssectional study of patient presentations and expectations

  Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the expectations of patients attending an urban primary care out-of-hours (OOH) facility with acute upper respiratory tract infection (acute URTI) regarding clinical ...
• Modulation of the equine microbiome by pasture and feed supplements: a metabolomics approach 

  Snalune, K.L.; Hunter, J.O.; Waring, R.H.; Cauchi, Michael; Turner, C.; Batty, C. (Open Access Text, 2019)

  Faecal VOCs (volatile organic compounds) were compared in horses and ponies before and after 6 weeks on Spring pasture and with and without a dietary supplement (ERME). The supplement was derived from malted barley and ...
• From policy to practice: an investigation into pre-service teachers’ preparedness for implementing literacy and numeracy for mathematics teaching in Ireland

• Application of the compressible I-dependent rheology to chute and shear flow instabilities 

  Fannon, James S.; Moyles, Iain R.; Fowler, Andrew C. (Cambridge University Press, 2019)
