Over the last few years, the building industry has been focusing on research, on the construction of passive houses and on the use of natural, local materials that are non-toxic, recyclable and can assure high thermal insulation. Cork is a natural material whose qualities have been known since ancient times and which fully meets sustainability requirements. Cork granulate is a sustainable solut...

The purpose of this paper is to put into a noncommutative context basic notions related to vector fields from classical differential geometry. The manner of exposition is an attempt to make the material as accessible as possible to classical geometers. The definition of vector field used is a specialisation of the Cartan pair definition, and the paper relies on the idea of generalised braidings...

Delta-certificate revocation lists (delta-CRLs) were designed to provide a more efficient way to distribute certificate status information. However, as this paper shows, in some environments the benefits of using delta-CRLs will be minimal if delta-CRLs are used as was originally intended. This paper provides an analysis of delta-CRLs that demonstrates the problems associated with issuing delta...

In May, 1939, a report on the financial results secured on 98 " mixed " dairy farms on the North Cork-Limerick border, m the accounting year ended 30th April, 1938, was presented to the Society. (Journal S S I 1938-39) For 93 of these farms, comparable data were again collected m 1939, covering the accounting-year ended 30th April, 1939, and portion of these data appeared m the Society's Journa...

In an earlier paper we introduced Lévy base correlation. In this paper we compare the Gaussian copula and Lévy base correlation models. The results of a historical study of both models on the iTraxx Europe Main dataset are presented. We focus on the base correlation surface and on the deltas of the tranches with respect to the index.
