Barriers to the adoption of alley cropping as a climate-smart agriculture practice: lessons from maize cultivation among the maya in southern belize
(MDPI AG, 2017-07-21)Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is proposed as a necessity, as the agricultural sector will need to adapt to resist future climatic change, to which high emissions from the sector contribute significantly. This study, which ... -
Barton esters for initiator-free radical cyclisation with heteroaromatic substitution and anti-cancer evaluation of benzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7-ones
(2014-07-03)Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to Chapters 2-5. Homolytic aromatic substitution routes to alicyclic ring-fused azoles and diazoles is reviewed. A review of recent literature using the COMPARE program of the ... -
Basic aesthetic features and their influence on attention and performance
(2015-01-23)Within experimental aesthetics it is often claimed that artists can exploit the normal activity of the perceptual system in order to achieve aesthetic effect. This thesis extends such a proposal by providing evidence to ... -
Basin scale survey of marine humic fluorescence in the atlantic: relationship to iron solubility and h2o2
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-02-14)Iron (Fe) is a limiting nutrient for phytoplankton productivity in many different oceanic regions. A critical aspect underlying iron limitation is its low solubility in seawater as this controls the distribution and transport ... -
Basins of attraction in nonsmooth models of gear rattle
(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2009-01-01)This paper is concerned with the computation of the basins of attraction of a simple one degree-of-freedom backlash oscillator using cell-to-cell mapping techniques. This analysis is motivated by the modeling of order ... -

Battling bacterial infection with hexamethylene diisocyanate cross-linked and cefaclor-loaded collagen scaffolds
(IOP Publishing, 2017-06-19)Implant infections remain a major healthcare problem due to the prolonged hospitalisation period required to disrupt and treat bacterial biofilm formation, and the need for additional surgery to remove/replace the infected ... -
Bayesian ANN Classifier for ECG Arrhythmia Diagnostic System: A Comparison Study
(2005)Abstract¿This paper outlines a system for detection of cardiac arrhythmias within ECG signals, based on a Bayesian Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier. The Bayesian (or Probabilistic) ANN Classifier is built by the ... -
Bayesian functional concurrent regression for missing irregular functional data
(NUI Galway, 2022-08-25)Introduction Functional data analysis (FDA) methods have recently been developed to analyse several variables measured repeatedly and concurrently over a domain such as time in a cohort of individuals. However, many FDA ... -
Bayesian imputation of right censored data in time-to-event studies
(NUI Galway, 2018-03-20)In time-to-event studies subjects are followed until the event of interest has happened. Subjects who do not experience the event are referred to as censored. Due to censoring, methods of plotting individual survival ... -
Bayesian Model Specification: Some problems related to model choice and calibration
(2011)In the development of Bayesian model specification for inference and prediction we focus on the conditional distributions p([theta],[beta]) and p(D[theta],[beta]), with data D and background assumptions [beta], and ... -

Bcl-2 family on guard at the ER
(American Physiological Society, 2009)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main site for protein folding, lipid biosynthesis and calcium storage in the cell. Disturbances of these critical cellular functions lead to ER stress. The ER responds to disturbances ... -
Bcl-2 is a prognostic marker in breast cancer independently of the nottingham prognostic index
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2006-04-15)Purpose: Prognostication of breast cancer using clinicopathologic variables, although useful, remains imperfect. Many reports suggest that gene expression profiling can refine the current approach. Alternatively, it has ... -
Bcl-2 polymorphism influences gray matter volume in the ventral striatum in healthy humans
(Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)Background: Bcl-2 is a major regulator of neural plasticity and cellular resilience. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Bcl-2 gene, Bcl-2 rs956572, significantly modulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein and ... -
