• Percolation and its relations to other processes in networks 

  Faqeeh, Ali (University of Limerick, 2016)

  Many of the systems we observe in nature, in societies, or in infrastructures are in the form of a network of interacting units. This underlying network structure shapes the behavior of such systems and is an indispensable ...
• Double cascade model of financial crises 

  Hurd, Thomas R; Cellai, Davide; Melnik, Sergey; Shao, Quentin, H (2016)

  The scope of financial systemic risk research encompasses a wide range of interbank channels and effects, including asset correlation shocks, default contagion, illiquidity contagion, and asset fire sales. This paper ...
• Emergence of coexisting percolating clusters in networks 

  Faqeeh, Ali; Melnik, Sergey; Colomer-deSimón, Pol; Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2016)

  It is commonly assumed in percolation theories that at most one percolating cluster can exist in a network. We show that several coexisting percolating clusters (CPCs) can emerge in networks due to limited mixing, i.e., a ...
• Cycles and clustering in multiplex networks 

  Baxter, Gareth J; Cellai, Davide; Dorogovtsev, Sergey N; Mendes, José F.F (American Chemical Society, 2016)

  In multiplex networks, cycles cannot be characterized only by their length, as edges may occur in different layers in different combinations. We define a classification of cycles by the number of edges in each layer and ...
• Weak percolation on multiplex networks 

  Baxter, Gareth J; Dorogovtsev, Sergey N; Mendes, José F.F; Cellai, Davide (Americann Physical Society, 2014)

  Bootstrap percolation is a simple but nontrivial model. It has applications in many areas of science and has been explored on random networks for several decades. In single-layer (simplex) networks, it has been recently ...
• Multiplex networks with heterogeneous activities of the nodes 

  Cellai, Davide; Bianconi, Ginestra (American Physical Society, 2016)

  In multiplex networks with a large number of layers, the nodes can have different activities, indicating the total number of layers in which the nodes are present. Here we model multiplex networks with heterogeneous activity ...
• Extracellular matrix gene expression profiling using microfluidics for colorectal carcinoma stratification 

  Hayes, Christopher J; Dowling, Catríona M; Dwane, Susan; McCumiskey, Mary E; Tormey, Shona M; Merrigan, Anne; Coffey, John C; Kiely, Patrick A; Dalton, Tara M (AIP Publishing, 2016)

  In cancer, biomarkers have many potential applications including generation of a differential diagnosis, prediction of response to treatment, and monitoring disease progression. Many molecular biomarkers have been put ...
• Application of multiple residual stress determination methods to coarse-grained biomedical implant castings 

  Conroy, Brian; Paddea, Sanjooram; Kelleher, Joe; Tanner, D.A (Taylor and Francis, 2017)

  ASTM F75 femoral knee implant components distort during manufacture due to residual stress re-distribution or inducement. X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, centre-hole drilling and the contour method residual stress ...
• Investigating the practices of cultural heritage professionals integrating digital technologies in a small museum 

  Maye, Laura (2016)

  This thesis is situated in the discipline of HCI and contributes toward understanding the role of digital technology in cultural heritage interpretation. Cultural heritage professionals (CHPs), including curators and museum ...
• Designing interactive technology (IT) for/with children with T1DM: exploring methods, techniques and tools facilitating participatory approach 

  Tsvyatkova, Damyanka (University of Limerick, 2016)

  The central question of this thesis is: How to design Interactive Technology (IT) for/with children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and their parents/guardians? To address this question, this research has two main ...
• Message passing theory for percolation models on multiplex networks with link overlap 

  Cellai, Davide; Dorogovtsev, Sergey N; Bianconi, Ginestra (Ameriican Physical Society, 2016)

  Multiplex networks describe a large variety of complex systems, including infrastructures, transportation networks, and biological systems. Most of these networks feature a significant link overlap. It is therefore of ...
• Limitations of discrete-time approaches to continuous-time contagion dynamics 

  Fennell, Peter G; Melnik, Sergey; Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2016)

  Continuous-time Markov process models of contagions are widely studied, not least because of their utility in predicting the evolution of real-world contagions and in formulating control measures. It is often the case, ...
