Social support, social participation, and cardiovascular reactivity to stress in the midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study (Pre-published)
(Elsevier, 2020-06-26)This study tested two hypotheses of associations between dimensions of social connectedness and cardiovascular reactivity to acute stress: (1) high social support predicts diminished cardiovascular responses to stress ... -
Constructing isostatic frameworks for the l1 and l infinity plane (Pre-published)
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2020-06-12)We use a new coloured multi-graph constructive method to prove that if the edge-set of a graph G = (V,E) has a partition into two spanning trees T1 and T2 then there is a map p : V → R2, p(v) = (p(v)1,p(v)2), such that ... -
Graph rigidity for unitarily invariant matrix norms (Pre-published)
(Elsevier, 2020-11-15)A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in linear matrix spaces endowed with a unitarily invariant matrix norm. Analogues of Maxwell's counting criteria are obtained and minimally rigid matrix frameworks ... -
Symbol functions for symmetric frameworks (Pre-published)
(Elsevier, 2021-05-15)We prove a variant of the well-known result that intertwiners for the bilateral shift on ℓ2(Z) are unitarily equivalent to multiplication operators on L2(T). This enables us to unify and extend fundamental aspects of ... -
The transnational roots of key figures from the early years of the Gate Theatre, Dublin (Pre-published)
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020-11-04)When considering the avant-garde nature of the early Gate Theatre, critics rightly focus on the queer sexuality and liberal politics of many of the people associated with the theatre at the time. However, it is also important ... -

(Springer, 2020-04-19)This paper introduces the Teachers Research Exchange (T-REX), an online community of practice that is currently being deployed on a pilot basis nationwide in Ireland as a response to the research-practice gap . The system ... -
Two kinds of theory- what psychology can learn from Einstein (Pre-published)
(SAGE Publications, 2020-04-24)A century ago, Einstein distinguished between two kinds of theory—theories of principle and constructive theories. These have separate but complementary roles to play in the advancement of knowledge, in the manner in which ... -
Convergently emergent- ecological and enactive approaches to the texture of agency (Pre-published)
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)Enactive and ecological approaches to cognitive science both claim a “mutuality” between agents and their environments – that they have a complementary nature and should be addressed as a single whole system. Despite this ... -

Symmetric frameworks in normed spaces
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a ... -
