Finding ‘Room to Manoeuvre’: Gender, agency and the family farm
(Rowman and Littlefield, 2014)Women on Irish farms have been a subject of feminist analysis over the past two decades. Salient themes in the literature on farm women have been the constraints of patriarchal agriculture (O'Hara 1997; Shortall, 2004), ... -
Findings of the LoResMT 2020 shared task on zero-shot for low-resource languages
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2020-12-04)This paper presents the findings of the LoResMT 2020 Shared Task on zero-shot translation for low resource languages. This task was organised as part of the 3rd Workshop on Technologies for MT of Low Resource Languages ... -
Findings of the LoResMT 2021 shared task on COVID and sign language for low-resource languages
(Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, 2021-08)We present the findings of the LoResMT 2021 shared task which focuses on machine translation (MT) of COVID-19 data for both low-resource spoken and sign languages. The organization of this task was conducted as part of the ... -
Fine particulate air pollution (pm2.5) and the risk of acute ischemic stroke
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011-05-01)Background: Short-term changes in levels of fine ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) may increase the risk of acute ischemic stroke; however, results from prior studies have been inconsistent. We examined this hypothesis ... -
Fine tuning the electro-mechanical response of dielectric elastomers
(AIP Publishing, 2018-10-16)We propose a protocol to model accurately the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomer membranes using experimental data of stress-stretch and voltage-stretch tests. We show how the relationship between electric ... -
Fine-mapping identifies two additional breast cancer susceptibility loci at 9q31.2
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-02-04)We recently identified a novel susceptibility variant, rs865686, for estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer at 9q31.2. Here, we report a fine-mapping analysis of the 9q31.2 susceptibility locus using 43 160 cases and 42 ... -
Fine-scale mapping of the 5q11.2 breast cancer locus reveals at least three independent risk variants regulating map3k1
(Elsevier BV, 2015-01-01)Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed SNP rs889312 on 5q11.2 to be associated with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry. In an attempt to identify the biologically relevant variants, we analyzed ... -
Fine-scale mapping of the fgfr2 breast cancer risk locus: putative functional variants differentially bind foxa1 and e2f1
(Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01)The 10q26 locus in the second intron of FGFR2 is the locus most strongly associated with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer in genome-wide association studies. We conducted fine-scale mapping in case-control studies ... -
Fine-scale spatial association between baleen whales and forage fish in the celtic sea1

Finite amplitude elastic waves propagating in compressible solids
(2005)The paper studies the interaction of a longitudinal wave with transverse waves in general isotropic and unconstrained hyperelastic materials, including the possibility of dissipation. The dissipative term chosen is similar ... -
Finite amplitude inhomogeneous waves in Mooney-Rivlin viscoelastic solids
(Elsevier, 2004-09)New exact solutions are exhibited within the framework of finite viscoelasticity. More precisely, the solutions correspond to finite-amplitude, transverse, linearly polarized, inhomogeneous motions superposed upon a finite ...
