The development of computer models for numerical simulation of the atmosphere
and oceans is one of the great scientific triumphs of the past fifty years. These
models have added enormously to our understanding of the ...
Applicants to degree courses in Irish colleges and universities rank up to ten degree courses from a list of over five hundred. These data provide a wealth of
information concerning applicant degree choices. A Dirichlet ...
Network modeling can be approached using either discriminative or probabilistic
models. In the task of link prediction a probabilistic model will give a probability
for the existence of a link; while in some scenarios ...
Bovine TB is a disease that affects cattle and the wildlife badger, species Meles meles, in Ireland and the UK, and badgers have been implicated in the spread of the disease in cattle. Efforts to eradicate the disease that ...
Formulae for the levels and sublevels of certain quaternion and octonion algebras are established. Corollaries concerning the equality of levels and sublevels of quaternion algebras with those of associated octonion algebras ...
We present a new method of reducing the error in predicted wind speed, thus enabling better management of wind energy
facilities. A numerical weather prediction model, COSMO, was used to produce 48 h forecast data every ...
In this paper we combine the Laplace transform (LT) scheme with a semi-
Lagrangian advection scheme, and implement it in a shallow water model. It
is compared to a reference model using the semi-implicit (SI) scheme, ...
A filtering integration scheme is developed, using a modification of the contour
used to invert the Laplace transform (LT). It is shown to eliminate components
with frequencies higher than a specified cut-off value. Thus ...
Given that one of the children in a two-child family is a boy, what are the chances that the other is also a boy. The intuitive answer is 50 : 50. More careful investigation leads us to a 1-in-3 chance. We investigate ...
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is primarily a disease of cattle. In both Ireland and the UK, badgers (Meles meles) are an important wildlife reservoir of infection. This paper examined the hypothesis that TB is spatially correlated ...
Seven adaptive approaches to post-processing wind speed forecasts are discussed and compared. 48-hour forecasts are run at horizontal resolutions of 7 km and 3 km for a domain centred over Ireland. Forecast wind speeds ...
Fisher's linear discriminant analysis is one of the most commonly used and studied classification methods in chemometrics. The method finds a projection of multivariate data into a lower dimensional space so that the groups ...
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 ...
A joint model for annotation bias and document classification is presented in the context of media sentiment analysis. We consider an Irish online media data set comprising online news articles with user annotations of ...
Background: Obesity and its measure of body mass index are strongly determined by parental body size. Debate continues as to whether both parents contribute equally to offspring body mass which is key to understanding the ...
The known proofs for universal Taylor series do not determine a specific universal
Taylor series. In the present paper, we isolate a specific universal Taylor series by
modifying the proof in [30]. Thus we determine all ...
Recent work on two-phase free boundary problems has led to the investigation of a new type of quadrature domain for harmonic functions. This paper develops a method of constructing such quadrature domains based on the ...
Let Ω be a simply connected proper subdomain of the complex plane and z0 be a point in Ω. It is known that there are holomorphic functions f on Ω for which the partial sums (Sn(f,z0)) of the Taylor series about z0 have ...
It is known that, for any simply connected proper subdomain Ω of the complex plane and any point ζ in Ω, there are holomorphic functions on Ω that possess “universal” Taylor series expansions about ζ; that is, partial sums ...
