Minimizing oblique errors for robust estimating
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2008)The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of the squared oblique errors is shown to be the root of a polynomial of degree four. We introduce a median estimator for the slope and, using a case study, we show ... -
Ministry
(NY and London: Routledge, 2008)While in practice ministry in the Christian churches is flourishing, theologically speaking it is in a state of some disarray at this time. Prior to the Second Vatican Council the term 'ministry' was not common in Roman ... -

Mitigating collinearity in linear regression models using ridge, surrogate and raised estimators
(Cogent OA, 2016)Collinearity in the design matrix is a frequent problem in linear regression models, for example, with economic or medical data. Previous standard procedures to mitigate the effects of collinearity included ridge regression ... -
A mixed methods investigation of effective online comprehension strategy instruction within the Irish Primary School context
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2016)This study was based on an embedded mixed methods design. In this study, qualitative data was embedded within a quasi-field experimental design. The researcher adopted quantitative methods to test the hypothesis that a ... -

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 ... -
Modeling the use of electronic books to engage young EFL readers in a teacher education methodology course in the U.A.E. (Pre-published version)
(TESOL Arabia, 2008)Teaching “Reading” has traditionally focused on using conventional printed books. However, there is a growing shift towards interactive reading approaches, some of which may incorporate digital media. This article discusses ... -

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 ... -
Money-lending, intimidation and the consequences of financial exclusion (Pre-published version)
(thejournal.ie, 2011)These arrests won’t tackle the root causes of crime in Limerick. On Limerick’s estates, crime is being spurred by pressing social problems – and they’re not going away. -
