This paper characterizes the subsets E of the unit disc D with the property that the supremum of |f| over E equals the supremum over D for all functions f in the Nevanlinna class.
This paper examines the issues involved in setting the appropriate tax on cigarettes in Ireland. It compares Irish tax rates with those in other EU countries and then examines the external costs of cigarette consumption ...
Settling behaviour of polymer conditioned water-treatment sludge was investigated in this study for the purpose of a better understanding of a so-called “CML30 method”, which was developed in previous study to evaluate the ...
On the basis of experiments carried out using an image analysis system and static zone settlement, the alum sludge floc structure and the floc packing status with varied polymer dosages were examined in greater detail to ...
Background: In the present study the reported sexual activity and aspects of sexual knowledge of adolescents in both rural and urban areas in Ireland was documented. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to secondary ...
In this article, findings are presented from a study that aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of a sample of nurses in addressing sexuality as an aspect of care for women receiving chemotherapy for breast ...
This paper presents the results of a series of field experiments performed to study the development of shaft resistance on Continuous Flight Auger piles installed in sand. The test piles were instrumented in order to ...
The rapid expansion of the offshore wind sector, coupled with increasing demand for high rise structures, has placed renewed demand on the driven piling market. In light of this industry growth, this paper reviews the ...
This paper describes an experimental investigation designed to assess the impact of pile end condition on the capacity of piles installed in soft clay. A series of field tests are described in which instrumented open-ended ...
Mental illness is associated with large costs to individuals and society. Education improves various health outcomes but little work has been done on mental illness. To obtain unbiased estimates of the effect of education ...
We extend the Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer and Welch (1992) informational cascade framework to allow for asymmetric signal accuracy. Simulations demonstrate that even
small departures from symmetry may lead to non-monotonic ...
Advances in surface-applied corrosion inhibitors suggest that they have the potential to prevent or significantly retard corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures. It is thought that the effectiveness of the ...
