• Numerical simulations of drumlin formations 

  Fannon, James S.; Fowler, Andrew C.; Moyles, Iain R. (The Royal Society Publishing, 2017)

  We summarize the present form of the instability theory for drumlin formation, which describes the coupled subglacial flow of ice, water and sediment. This model has evolved over the last 20 years, and is now at the point ...
• Statistical modelling of lattice data with applications in flow cytometry 

  Brosnan, Kevin Christopher (University of Limerick, 2018)

  Statisticians are among the most in demand problem solvers in today's data driven world, with their expertise often employed to address emerging issues in other scientific fields by adopting, modifying and/or developing ...
• Bridging the primary to secondary school mathematics divide: teachers’ perspectives 

  Prendergast, Mark; O’Meara, Niamh; O’Hara, Clare; Harbison, Lorraine; Cantley, Ian (Western Australian Institutes for Educational Research, 2019)

  The transition from primary to secondary school is regarded as one of the most difficult crossings in students’ educational careers. The move, which typically occurs between the ages of twelve and fourteen, can be particularly ...
