Territory and politics in Ireland and Great Britain after devolution-
This paper focuses primarily on the experience of devolution in the United Kingdom. Reflecting on a number of theories that have been posited as ...
Using a dataset that allows consistent cross-country comparisons the non-linearity in a conventional earnings equation is tested with respect to schooling. The findings suggest that the assumption of linearity is not robust ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
This paper compares a 3-dimensional hydro-ecological model with a 2-dimensional model simulating the distribution and fate of Escherichia Coli (E.Coli) discharges from a sewage treatment plant discharging into Dublin Bay, ...
Both thromboxane (TX) A2 and 8-epi prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha have been reported to stimulate mitogenesis of vascular smooth muscle (SM) in a number of species. However, TXA2 and 8-epiPGF2alpha mediated mitogenic signalling ...
Since its discovery in 1975, we now have a wealth of knowledge relating to the biochemical, pharmacological and physiologic actions of thromboxane (TX) A2 and its related metabolites. These molecular insights have been ...
A spatio-temporal mapping of the uptake of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles of different sizes by lung epithelial cells has been obtained. Based on high control of nanoparticle dispersion in cell media and cell exposure, one ...
This paper estimates the long- and short-run elasticities for Lotto. It is particularly concerned with the dynamic response to price variations since, for some goods, this has sometimes been used to infer the presence of ...

Risk aversion is a key element of utility maximizing hedge strategies; however, it has
typically been assigned an arbitrary value in the literature. This paper instead applies a
GARCH-in-Mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate ...

Given the potential scale on which a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be deployed, multi-hop communication will
be a pivotal component of the system. When redundant nodes are deployed, which are hibernated opportunistically ...
This paper uses duration analysis to investigate the role of tobacco taxes in starting and quitting smoking. Applying a variety of parametric duration models, including a split population model, to a sample of Irish women, ...
This article uses duration analysis to investigate the role of tobacco taxes in starting and quitting smoking. Applying a variety of parametric duration models to a sample of Irish women, it finds that in general tobacco ...
