Managing performance expectations in association football (2021)
Journal Article
Fry, J., Serbera, J.-P., & Wilson, R. (2021). Managing performance expectations in association football. Journal of business research, 135, 445-453. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2021.06.052

Motivated by excessive managerial pressure and sackings, together with associated questions over the inefficient use of scarce resources, we explore realistic performance expectations in association football. Our aim is to improve management quality... Read More about Managing performance expectations in association football.

Local drag of a slender rod parallel to a plane wall in a viscous fluid (2021)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Montenegro-Johnson, T. D. (2021). Local drag of a slender rod parallel to a plane wall in a viscous fluid. Physical Review Fluids, 6(6), Article 064101. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.6.064101

The viscous drag on a slender rod by a wall is important to many biological and industrial systems. This drag critically depends on the separation between the rod and the wall and can be approximated asymptotically in specific regimes, namely far fro...

Introducing pre-impact air-cushioning effects into the Wagner model of impact theory (2021)
Journal Article
Moore, M. R. (2021). Introducing pre-impact air-cushioning effects into the Wagner model of impact theory. Journal of engineering mathematics, 129(1), Article 6. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-021-10137-z

In this analysis, we consider the effects of non-quiescent initial conditions driven by pre-impact air–water interactions on the classical Wagner model of impact theory. We consider the problem of a rigid, solid impactor moving vertically towards a l... Read More about Introducing pre-impact air-cushioning effects into the Wagner model of impact theory.

Modelling corporate bank accounts (2021)
Journal Article
Fry, J., Griguta, V.-M., Gerber, L., Slater-Petty, H., & Crockett, K. (2021). Modelling corporate bank accounts. Economics letters, 205, Article 109924. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2021.109924

We discuss the modelling of corporate bank accounts using a proprietary dataset. We thus offer a principled treatment of a genuine industrial problem. The corporate bank accounts in our study constitute spare, irregularly-spaced time series that may... Read More about Modelling corporate bank accounts.

Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus (2021)
Journal Article
Boden, H., & Rushworth, W. (2021). Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus. Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 53(4), 1174-1184. https://doi.org/10.1112/blms.12491

A virtual link may be defined as an equivalence class of diagrams, or alternatively as a stable equivalence class of links in thickened surfaces. We prove that a minimal crossing virtual link diagram has minimal genus across representatives of the st... Read More about Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus.

Geometric phase methods with Stokes theorem for a general viscous swimmer (2021)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2021). Geometric phase methods with Stokes theorem for a general viscous swimmer. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 916, Article A17. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.181

The geometric phase techniques for swimming in viscous flows express the net displacement of a swimmer as a path integral of a field in configuration space. This representation can be transformed into an area integral for simple swimmers using the St... Read More about Geometric phase methods with Stokes theorem for a general viscous swimmer.

Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python (2021)
Journal Article
Keegans, J. D., Stancliffe, R. J., Bilton, L. E., Cashmore, C. R., Gibson, B. K., Kristensen, M. T., Lawson, T. V., Pignatari, M., Vaezzadeh, I., Côté, B., & Chongchitnan, S. (2021). Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python. Physics Education, 56(3), Article 035001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6552/abdae7

We present our outreach program, the Thailand–UK Python+Astronomy Summer School (ThaiPASS), a collaborative project comprising UK and Thai institutions and assess its impact and possible application to schools in the United Kingdom. Since its incepti... Read More about Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python.

Effect of hydrodynamic heterogeneity on micromixing intensification in a Taylor–Couette flow reactor with variable configurations of inner cylinder (2021)
Journal Article
Liu, L., Yang, X., Yang, J., Li, G., & Guo, Y. (2021). Effect of hydrodynamic heterogeneity on micromixing intensification in a Taylor–Couette flow reactor with variable configurations of inner cylinder. AIChE Journal, 67(7), Article e17225. https://doi.org/10.1002/aic.17225

Effect of hydrodynamic heterogeneity on micromixing intensification in a Taylor–Couette flow (TC) reactor with variable configurations of inner cylinder has been investigated by adoption of a parallel competing iodide-iodate reaction system. Two type... Read More about Effect of hydrodynamic heterogeneity on micromixing intensification in a Taylor–Couette flow reactor with variable configurations of inner cylinder.
