(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2012-08)This paper reviews Irish evidence on the link between socioeconomic factors and various measures of mental stress and well-being. The paper reviews both cross-section and time-series studies and finds that of all ...

(Elsevier, 2006-05)Existing conceptual growth models for faults in layered sequences suggest that faults first localise in strong, and brittle, layers and are later linked in weak, and ductile, layers. We use the Discrete Element Method (DEM) ...

(Elsevier, 2012-01)This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on multi-layered timber beams using welded-through wood dowels in place of traditional poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-adhesives (or metallic nails). Four-layer beams ...

(IEEE, 2011-02)In the analysis of time series of blackouts a power law dependency of blackout size with respect to frequency has been observed. It has been hypothesized that this behaviour is the result of the power system operating ...
