Finite element simulation of fretting wear and fatigue in thin steel wires
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-05-09)This paper studies the effect of fretting on fatigue life reduction of thin steel wires, using the frictionally-induced multiaxial contact stresses obtained from a finite element wear model, validated in previous work. The ... -
A finite element study of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack nucleation in fretting
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011)This paper is concerned with finite element modelling of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack initiation in fretting. The approach adopted is based on an existing method for microstructure-sensitive (uniaxial) ... -
A finite element-based approach for predictions of rigid pile group stiffness efficiency in clays
(Springer Verlag, 2013-08-17)This paper presents a finite element parametric study of several variables that affect the stiffness efficiency of rigidly capped pile groups with a view to developing a solution for preliminary design purposes. Previous ... -
Finite frequentism in a big world
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-11-28)The view that chances are relative frequencies of occurrence within actual, finite reference classes has long been written off. I argue that it ought to be reconsidered. Focusing on non-deterministic chance, I defend a ... -
The finite implication problem for expressive XML keys: Foundations, applications, and performance evaluation
(Springer, 2013)The increasing popularity of XML for persistent data storage, processing and exchange has triggered the demand for efficient algorithms to manage XML data. Both industry and academia have long since recognized the importance ... -
Finite rigid sets in curve complexes
(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2013-06-01)We prove that curve complexes of surfaces are finitely rigid: for every orientable surface S of finite topological type, we identify a finite subcomplex X of the curve complex C(S) such that every locally injective simplicial ... -
Finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves in a deformed Mooney-Rivlin material
(Oxford University Press, 2002)The propagation of finite-amplitude linearly-polarized inhomogeneous transverse plane waves is considered for a Mooney-Rivlin material maintained in a state of finite static homogeneous deformation. It is shown that such ... -
Finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves of exponential type in incompressible elastic materials
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999-05)It is proved that elliptically polarized finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves may not propagate in an elastic material subject to the constraint of incompressibility. The waves considered are harmonic in time and ... -
Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed neo-Hookean material
(2008)In the context of the non-linear elasticity theory we consider a model for compressible solids called compressible neoHookean material . We show how (exact) finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and ... -
Finn’s Seat: topographies of power and royal marchlands of Gaelic polities in medieval Ireland
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-10-31)Hill- and mountain-top cairns and mounds in Ireland are often viewed as epiphenomenal features of the medieval landscape. In recent years, research on early medieval ferta, ancestral burial places cited in the legal procedure ... -
FinSentiA: sentiment analysis in English financial microblogs
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-14)The objective of this paper is to report on the building of a Sentiment Analysis (SA) system dedicated to financial microblogs in English. The purpose of our work is to build a financial classifier that predicts the sentiment ... -
Fios na mban. The role of women in death and burial customs in Erris in post-famine Ireland: evidence from the archive of the Irish Folklore Commission
(2016-11-16)This thesis examines the role and contributions of women to mortuary ritual in Erris in the post-Famine era. The written evidence for the project is based on the oral testaments of both women and men mainly but not exclusively ... -

First estimates of age, growth, and maturity of boarfish (capros aper): a species newly exploited in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-10-08)Boarfish in the Northeast Atlantic have recently been exploited commercially for fishmeal. It is a sexually dimorphic species with an estimated maximum age of 26 years, late age at maturity (A(50) = 5.25 years), relatively ... -
First insights on a passive major depressive disorder prediction system with incorporated conversational chatbot
(AICS 2018 and CEUR-WS.org, 2018-12-06)Almost 50% of cases of major depressive disorder go undiagnosed. In this paper, we propose a passive diagnostic system that combines the areas of clinical psychology, machine learning and conversational dialogue systems. ... -
First observations of anthropogenic underwater noise in a large multi-use lake
(PAGEPress Publications, 2016-06-14)Over the last fifty years, anthropogenic noise has increased dramatically in aquatic environments and is now recognised as a chronic form of pollution in coastal waters. However, this form of pollution has been largely ... -
First observations of the freshwater jellyfish craspedacusta sowerbii lankester, 1880 in ireland coincides with unusually high water temperatures
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre Oy (REABIC), 2016-01-01)The freshwater hydrozoan Craspedacusta sowerbii was observed for the first time in Ireland at five localities in two separate river catchments (Shannon and Eme) during the summer of 2013. All collected medusae from Lough ... -

First record of the elusive oceanic squid Thysanoteuthis rhombus Troschel, 1857 (Cephalopoda: Thysanoteuthidae) in the Catalan coast
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2021)The diamondback squid Thysanoteuthis rhombus Troschel, 1857 is a large and elusive oceanic squid spe- cies. Here, we provide the first record of the species for the Catalan coast and integrate this finding in the current ...
