A simple mathematical model was developed to investigate the utilization rate of a self-inhibitory substrate in idealised biofilm reactors operating with either counter-diffusion or co-diffusion of oxygen and phenol. This ...
Structures include elements designated as load bearing and non-load bearing. While non-load bearing elements, such as facades and internal partitions, are acknowledged to add mass to the system, the structural stiffness ...
This paper investigates the conditions under which a dynamic, stochastic macroeconomic model with many interacting agents will exhibit the ‘small shocks, large shocks’ property that is often said to characterize observed ...
Walsh, Frank(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2000-11)
Wallers (1989) model which incorporates an effort augmented production function into a
traditional Keynesian analysis of supply and demand shocks is generalised by not
restricting the elasticity of substitution between ...

This paper examines the responsiveness of real income and the balance of payments to external shocks in a small open economy. It is shown that tariff restrictions and age rigidities tend to increase responsiveness and quota ...
Offshore piles are subjected to complex loading regimes, which include both rapidly
applied static and cyclic loads. This note describes an experimental investigation
conducted in order to assess the factors influencing ...
In a model with rigid nominal wages, full information and competitive product markets, I show that when an effort augmented production function is incorporated into an analysis of supply and demand shocks, the outcomes are ...
We investigate the influence of unanticipated changes in US monetary policy on Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s). Although a number of studies have
investigated the issue of interest rate changes, the effect ...
This report gives results of some new studies performed to validate the European road traffic load model proposed by the Eurocode EC1. Weight in motion has developed greatly in the last ten years and confidence in the ...
WIM has developed greatly in the last ten years and confidence in the accuracy of recorded data has
increased significantly. Traffic data recently obtained from a number of representative European sites
are used to ...
