• Multi-parameter regression survival models 

  Burke, Kevin (University of Limerick, 2014)

  In general, parametric regression models can be motivated by allowing the parameters of a probability distribution to depend on covariates. Furthermore, it is standard practice to relate covariates to one parameter of ...
• Contact-Based model for epidemic spreading on temporal networks 

  Koher, Andreas; Lentz, Hartmut H.K.; Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2019)

  We present a contact-based model to study the spreading of epidemics by means of extending the dynamic message-passing approach to temporal networks. The shift in perspective from node- to edgecentric quantities enables ...
• Emergence of power laws in noncritical neuronal systems 

  Faqeeh, Ali; Osat, Saeed; Radicchi, Filippo; Gleeson, James P. (2019)

  Experimental and computational studies provide compelling evidence that neuronal systems are characterized by power-law distributions of neuronal avalanche sizes. This fact is interpreted as an indication that these systems ...
• Analysing extraction uniformity from porous coffee beds using mathematical modelling and computational fluid dynamics approaches 

  Moroney, Kevin M.; O’Connell, Ken; Meikle-Janney, Paul; O’Brien, Stephen B.G.; Walker, Gavin M.; Lee, William T. (Public Library of Science, 2019)

  Achieving a uniform extraction of soluble material from a porous matrix is a generic problem in various separation and filtration operations, with applications in the food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. ...
• Elastic suppression of boiling in network fluids: A mechanism for hard-to-boil massecuite 

  Hennessy, Matthew G.; Moyles, Iain R.; Thomson, Stuart J. (2019)

  Masson SAS Massecuite is a liquid mixture that is boiled to produce raw sugar. When formed from poor-quality sugar cane, massecuite can be difficult to boil, leading to factory shutdowns lasting several weeks. This ...
• Continuous casting 

  Vynnycky, Michael (MDPI, 2019)

  Continuous casting is a process whereby molten metal is solidified into a semi-finished billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in finishing mills; it is the most frequently used process to cast not only steel, but ...
• Dynamic modular networks model mediated by confinement 

  Schneider, Éder Mílton; Gonçalves, Sebastián; Iglesias, José Roberto; Cunha, Bruno Requião da (SpringerOpen, 2019)

  We present a model for network transformation mediated by confinement, as a demonstration of a simple network dynamics that has a direct connection with real world quantities. The model has the capacity of generating ...
• Probing crystal nucleation of fenoxycarb from solution through the effect of solvent 

  Zeglinski, Jacek; Kuhs, Manuel; Devi, Renuka K.; Khamar, Dikshitkumar; Hegarty, Avril C.; Thompson, Damien; Rasmuson, Åke C. (American Chemical Society, 2019)

  Induction time experiments, spectroscopic and calorimetric analysis, and molecular modelling were used to probe the influence of solvent on the crystal nucleation of fenoxycarb (FC), a medium-sized, flexible organic ...
• Spreading of memes on multiplex networks 

  O'Brien, Joseph D.; Dassios, Ioannis K.; Gleeson, James P. (IOP Publishing, 2019)

  A model for the spreading of online information or ‘memes’ on multiplex networks is introduced and analyzed using branching-process methods. The model generalizes that of (Gleeson et al 2016 Phys. Rev.X) in two ways. ...
• Phase transition in the Boltzmann–Vlasov equation 

  Fowler, Andrew C. (Springer, 2019)

  In this paper we revisit the problem of explaining phase transition by a study of a form of the Boltzmann equation, where inter-molecular attraction is included by means of a Vlasov term in the evolution equation for the ...
• Multistate dynamical processes on networks: analysis through degree-based approximation frameworks 

  Fennell, Peter G.; Gleeson, James P. (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2019)

  Multistate dynamical processes on networks, where nodes can occupy one of a multitude of discrete states, are gaining widespread use because of their ability to recreate realistic, complex behavior that cannot be adequately ...
• A method comparison study of accelarometer based block response times in sprinting 

  Holmes, Jonathan; Hayes, Kevin; Harrison, Andrew J. (International Society of Biomechanics in Sport, 2018)
