• The limits of leverage 

  Guasoni, Paolo; Mayerhofer, Eberhard (Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)

  When trading incurs proportional costs, leverage can scale an asset's return only up to a maximum multiple, which is sensitive to its volatility and liquidity. In a model with one safe and one risky asset, with constant ...
• On the formation of centreline shrinkage porosity in the continuous casting of steel 

  Vynnycky, Michael (Springer, 2020)

  A recent asymptotic model for solidification shrinkage-induced macrosegregation in the continuous casting of binary alloys is extended for the purposes of understanding the link between solute segregation and centreline ...
• Dynamic buckling of an elastic ring in a soap film 

  Box, Finn; Kodio, Ousmane; O'Kiely, Doireann; Cantelli, Vincent; Goriely, Alain; Vella, Dominic (American Physical Society, 2020)

  Dynamic buckling may occur when a load is rapidly applied to, or removed from, an elastic object at rest. In contrast to its static counterpart, dynamic buckling offers a wide range of accessible patterns depending on the ...
• Lipschitz stability at the boundary for time-harmonic diffuse optical tomography 

  Doeva, Olga; Gaburro, Romina; Lionheart, William R. B.; Nolan, Clifford J. (Taylor & Francis, 2020)

  We study the inverse problem in Optical Tomography of determining the optical properties of a medium ⊂ Rn, with n ≥ 3, under the so-called diffusion approximation. We consider the time-harmonic case where is probed ...
• Dependence of the surface tension and contact angle on the temperature,as described by the diffuse-interface model 

  Benilov, Eugene (American Physical Society, 2020)

  Four results associated with the diffuse-interface model (DIM) for contact lines are reported in this paper. First, a boundary condition is derived, which states that the fluid near a solid wall must have a certain density ...
• Doctor retention: A cross-sectional study of how Ireland has been losing the battle 

  Brugha, Ruairi; Clarke, Nicholas; Hendrick, Louise; Sweeney, James (Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2020)

  Background: The failure of some high-income countries to retain their medical graduates is one driver of doctor immigration from low- and middle-income countries. Ireland, which attracts many international medical ...
• Students' images of mathematics: the role of parents' occupation 

  Lane, Ciara (European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, 2017)

  A questionnaire survey was conducted as part of a study investigating post-primary students’ images of mathematics in Ireland. A definition of ‘image of mathematics’ was adopted from Lim (1999) and Wilson (2011). Students’ ...
• Analysis of a model for the formation of fold-type oscillation marks in the continuous casting of steel 

  Devine, K. M.; Vynnycky, Michael; Mitchell, Sarah L.; O’Brien, Stephen B. G. (Oxford University Press, 2020)

• Mood disorder affects age at onset of adult-onset cervical dystonia 

  Ndukwea, Ihedinachi; O'Riordan, Sean; Walsh, Cathal Dominic; Hutchinson, Michael (Elsevier, 2020)

  Mood disorder is common in cervical dystonia, affects quality of life and may precede the onset of the dystonia. There is controversy as to whether mood disorder is part of the primary process or secondary to the disability. ...
• Inspiratory muscle training in young, race-fit thoroughbred racehorses during a period of detraining 

  Katz, Lisa M.; Stallard, Jessica; Holtby, Amy; Hill, Emmeline W.; Allen, Kate; Sweeney, James (Public Library of Science, 2020)

  Although inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is reported to improve inspiratory muscle strength in humans little has been reported for horses. We tested the hypothesis that IMT would maintain and/or improve inspiratory muscle ...
