Unknown-breakpoint tests for possible structural change have become standard in recent years, with the most popular being the so-called Sup-F tests, whose asymptotic
distribution was derived by Andrews (1993). We highlight ...
This paper describes a large scale test of six WIM systems and four additional sensors
on an urban roadway in Zürich, Switzerland. Gross weights from some thousands of
statically weighed vehicles were used to determine ...

This short paper explores the relationship between the rate of migration and the rate of economic growth. A review of the literature shows that there is no unanimity regarding the net effect of migration on economic ...
Two bimetallic cryptates (containing Cu and Co), which have previously been shown to react with and activate atmospheric CO2, have been tethered to modified mesoporous SiO2 and their activities in promoting the CO2 + H2 ...
Users of social media sites, such as Twitter, rapidly generate large volumes of text content on a daily basis. Visual summaries are needed to understand what groups of people are saying collectively in this unstructured ...
In the work an analytical model of transmission holographic grating formation by light beams with non-uniform phase-amplitude profiles is presented. The model takes into consideration influence of light absorption of a ...
Rankin, K. J.(University College Dublin. Institute for British-Irish Studies, 2006)
The circumstances concerning the partitioning of Ireland do not fit easily with patterns observed in other examples. The evolving bases of partition between 1912 and 1925 varied significantly with regard to geography, ...

This paper provides a centenary review of the method of calculating real incomes
and purchasing power parities proposed by Roy Geary. This method is the most widely
used in major international comparisons, but it is often ...
Pavements and bridges are subject to a continuous degradation due to traffic aggressiveness, ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure in order ...
Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
This paper investigates the thermodynamics of gas-phase CO2 cascade uptake-reactions in the form of carbonate or methoxycarbonate anions in the host cavity of various dinuclear octa-azacryptates of m-CH2C6H4CH2 and ...
In this work we report the modification of the normal Auger line shape under the action of an intense x-ray radiation. Under strong Rabi-type coupling of the core, the Auger line profile develops into a doublet structure ...
There is a large empirical literature on policy measures targeted at children
but surprisingly very little theoretical foundation to ground the debate
on the optimality of the different instruments. In the present paper, ...
Clinch, J. Peter; Dunne, Louise(University College Dublin. School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy, 2001-12)
Environmental Tax Reform (ETR) is widely accepted to be a policy with desirable environmental, and other economic effects. The question arises then as to why its implementation has been so patchy. There is a broad literature ...
Exercise therapy is prescribed by physiotherapists and
rehabilitation practitioners as part of the treatment programme
for many movement impairment disorders. Poor adherence and
inadequate exercise technique often result ...
Many countries provide extensive in-kind public transfers for specific needs of
particular client groups such as the elderly, the disabled, and children. However, this may crowd out private expenditures on the goods in ...
The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
There are many types of holographic recording material. The acrylamide-based recording material examined here has one significant
advantage: it is self-processing. This simplifies the recording process and enables holographic ...
