Voting intentions on social media and political opinion polls (2021)
Journal Article
Pekar, V., Najafi, H., Binner, J., Swanson, R., Rickard, C., & Fry, J. (in press). Voting intentions on social media and political opinion polls. Government information quarterly, Article 101658. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.giq.2021.101658

Opinion polls play an important role in modern democratic processes: they are known to not only affect the outcomes of elections, but also have a significant influence on government policy after elections. Recent years have seen large discrepancies b... Read More about Voting intentions on social media and political opinion polls.

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.

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.

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.
