The model of motivational dynamics in sport: resistance to peer influence, behavioral engagement and disaffection, dispositional coping, and resilience
(Frontiers, 2016)The Model of Motivational Dynamics (MMD; Skinner and Pitzer, 2012) infers that peers influence behavioral engagement levels, which in turn is linked to coping and resilience. Scholars, however, are yet to test the MMD among ... -

Moduli schemes of generically simple Azumaya modules
(Documenta Mathematica, 2005)Let A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion ... -
The moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve (Pre-published Version)
(Ramanujan Mathematical Society, 2010)This expository text tries to explain brie y and not too technically the notions of stack and algebraic stack, emphasizing as an example the moduli stack of vector bundles on an algebraic curve. -
Moduli stacks of vector bundles on curves and the King–Schofield rationality proof (Pre-published version)
(Springer, 2010)Let C be a connected smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field k. Consider the coarse moduli scheme Bunr,d (resp. Bunr,L) of stable vector bundles on C with rank r and degree d ∈ Z (resp. ... -
Moishezon twistor spaces without effective divisors of degree one (pre-published version)
(Universität Kaiserslautern, 1995)We study simply connected compact twistor spaces Z of positive type. Assuming that the fundamental linear system j \Gamma 1 2 Kj is at least a pencil, we prove the following theorem: the existence of an irreducible curve ... -
Moment estimation of measurement errors
(NEDETAS, 2011)The slope of the best-fit line from minimizing a function of the squared vertical and horizontal errors is the root of a polynomial of degree four. We use second order and fourth order moment equations to estimate the ratio ... -

Moving closer to solving the 'mathematics problem' where it arises: The influence of the 'typical' Irish pre-tertiary mathematics experience on under-preparedness among numerate entrants
(St. Patricks College, Dublin, 2006)The contribution of mathematics proficiency to the numerate (e.g. science, engineering) disciplines is well-documented. Internationally concern exists that graduates of these disciplines are persistently demonstrating ... -
Moving in school: physical activity promotion in primary school setting
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2016)Introduction: Childhood physical activity is associated with numerous health benefits. However, many children worldwide are not sufficiently active to meet the 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) ... -
