Algebraic dimension of twistor spaces whose fundamental system is a pencil (pre-published version)
(London Mathematical Society, 2017)We show that the algebraic dimension of a twistor space over nℂℙ2 cannot be two if n>4 and the fundamental system (that is, the linear system associated to the half‐anti‐canonical bundle, which is available on any twistor ... -
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 ... -
Sampling participants’ experience in laboratory experiments: complementary challenges for more complete data collection
(Frontiers, 2016)Speelman and McGann’s (2013) examination of the uncritical way in which the mean is often used in psychological research raises questions both about the average’s reliability and its validity. In the present paper, we argue ... -
Situated agency: the normative medium of human action
(Croatian Philosophical Society, 2014)In this paper the notion of individual agency is critically examined in light of the enactive approach to understanding the mind. It is argued that following the work of Hanne De Jaegher, Ezequiel Di Paolo, Tom Froese and ... -
Enacting a social ecology: radically embodied intersubjectivity
(Frontiers, 2014)Embodied approaches to cognitive science frequently describe the mind as “world-involving, ”indicating complementary and interdependent relationships between an agent and its environment. The precise nature of the environment ... -
How mean is the mean?
(Frontiers, 2013)In this paper we voice concerns about the uncritical manner in which the mean is often used as a summary statistic in psychological research. We identify a number of implicit assumptions underlying the use of the mean and ... -

Twistor spaces with a pencil of fundamental divisors
(Documenta Mathematica, 1999)In this paper simply connected twistor spaces Z containing a pencil of fundamental divisors are studied. The Riemannian base for such spaces is diffeomorphic to the connected sum nCP2 . We obtain for n 5 a complete ... -
Constructing masculinity through genetic legacies: family histories, Y-chromosomes, and “Viking identities”
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018)The contemporary popularity of genetic genealogy has been accompanied by concerns about its potential reifying of identity. This has referred in particular to ethnicity, but also to gender,with fears that looking at the ... -
Maternity services in the Irish mass media: an analysis of media content from 2007–2012
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd & Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2013)The mass media play a key role in informing the public about matters of public interest and, critically, in the actual shaping of public opinion about those matters. With this in mind, the purpose of this study was to ... -
Relationships between mental toughness, barriers to exercise, and exercise behaviour in undergraduate students
(University of Wollongong, Australia, 2017)The present study explored relationships between mental toughness (MT), barriers to exercise, and self reported exercise behaviour in university students. Perceived barriers to exercise are important since previous work ... -
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 ... -
The development of a new sport-specific classification of coping and a meta-analysis of the relationship between different coping strategies and moderators on sporting outcomes
(Frontiers, 2016)There is an ever growing coping and sports performance literature, with researchers using many different methods to assess performance and different classifications of coping. As such, it makes it difficult to compare ... -
Perceptions of coach–athlete relationship are more important to coaches than athletes in predicting dyadic coping and stress appraisals: an actor–partner independence mediation model
(Frontiers, 2016)Most attempts to manage stress involve at least one other person, yet coping studies in sport tend to report an athlete’s individual coping strategies. There is a limited understanding of coping involving other people, ... -
Academic self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between Scottish index of multiple deprivation and composite attainment score
(Frontiers, 2017)A developing literature continues to testify to the relationship between higher socio-economic status (SES) and better academic attainment. However, the literature is complex in terms of the variety of SES and attainment ... -
Alcohol behaviors across perceived parental security profiles in adolescents
(Journal of Child & Adolescent Behavior, 2016)Background: Previous research has suggested a bivariate or correlational relationship between attachment scores and alcohol use behaviors among adolescents. Methods: The present study is a person-oriented analysis of the ...
