The ability to model rigid body interaction with highly deformable solids is a very useful tool in geoengineering, including the modelling of drag anchors on seabeds and seabed ploughing [7, 1]. However, these simulations entail several numerical cha... Read More about Dynamic three-dimensional rigid body interaction with highly deformable solids, a material point approach.

Three-dimensional excitable media host vortex filaments that can be created with a range of knotted and linked topologies. The evolution of these excitable knots and links is both complex and fascinating, as shown by examples of knot untangling and t... Read More about Excitable and magnetic knots.

Does Fed communication affect uncertainty and risk aversion? (2024)
Journal Article
Ho-Chi Chau, F., Deesomsak, R., & Shahzad Shaikh, R. (in press). Does Fed communication affect uncertainty and risk aversion?. Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting,

This paper examines whether the Federal Reserve (Fed) communication has significant impact on the level of uncertainty and risk aversion in the U.S., U.K., and Eurozone equity markets. We first apply computational linguistic tools to the Federal Op... Read More about Does Fed communication affect uncertainty and risk aversion?.

Tracing The Potential Benefits And Complex Contingencies Of Multi-level Collective Bargaining (2024)
Journal Article
Grimshaw, D., Brandl, B., Bertranou, F., & Gontero, S. (in press). Tracing The Potential Benefits And Complex Contingencies Of Multi-level Collective Bargaining. International Labour Review,

This article provides a critical review of the international evidence for economic benefits of multi-level collective bargaining. The expected gains are highly contingent and depend upon a raft of interlocking enabling conditions. This means that as...
