Analysing climate impact on energy demand using the MOLAND model

Liu, Xiaochen ; Twumasi, Bright Osei (University College Dublin. Urban Institute Ireland, 2008)

The importance and contribution of climate to energy demand are discussed. A linear regression model is developed to analyse future energy demand corresponding to climate change. The methodology for spatial analysis and ...
Spatio-temporal modeling of TB in cattle herds

Kelly, Gabrielle E. (Journal of Environmental Statistics, 2012)

We examine spatial association of bovine TB in cattle herds using data from Ireland. Badgers (Meles meles), a protected species under the Wildlife Act 1976 (OAG 2012), have been implicated in the spread of the disease ...
Truck fleet model for design and assessment of flexible pavements

Belay, Abraham ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Kroese, Dirk P. (Elsevier, 2008-04)

The mechanistic empirical method of flexible pavement design/assessment uses a large number of numerical truck model runs to predict a history of dynamic load. The pattern of dynamic load distribution along the pavement ...
The use of Bayesian Statistics to predict patterns of spatial repeatability

Wilson, Simon P. ; Harris, Niall K. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Elsevier, 2006-10)

Statistical spatial repeatability (SSR) is an extension to the well known concept of spatial repeatability. SSR states that the mean of many patterns of dynamic tyre force applied to a pavement surface is similar for a ...
