Bfmp: a method for discretizing and visualizing pyranose conformations
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-10-27)We report a new classification method for pyranose ring conformations called Best-fit, Four-Membered Plane (BFMP), which describes pyranose ring conformations based on reference planes defined by four atoms. The method is ... -
‘Bhí go maith agus ní raibh go holc’: Scéal an bhéaloidis i dtógáil an náisiúin
(Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, 2016)Folklore scholarship thrived above all in countries whose histories had been characterized by rupture rather than community and where a new hegemony was being created. There was a liberating and validating dimension to the ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters presenting GlcNAc/GalNAc as inhibitors: from plant agglutinins to human macrophage galactose-type lectin (CD301) and galectins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-02-17)Emerging insights into the functional spectrum of tissue lectins leads to identification of new targets for the custom-made design of potent inhibitors, providing a challenge for synthetic chemistry. The affinity and ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters: synthesis, structure-activity profiles as lectin inhibitors and impact of combining both valency and headgroup tailoring on selectivity.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-06-29)The emerging functional versatility of cellular glycans makes research on the design of synthetic inhibitors a timely topic. In detail, the combination of ligand (or headgroup or contact site) structure with spatial ... -
Bi-Directional work to life conflict: An investigation of work-life balance for nurses in acute public hospital settings in Ireland
(2015-01-26)The overall research question this thesis will address is; How does Work-Life Balance Policy and Practice Affect Nurses Work-Life Balance in Public Hospital Settings in Ireland? In order to do this, four sub-research ... -
Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD) EIT in stroke diagnosis
(EIT2019, 2019-07-01)BFSD-EIT can detect deviations in the inherent normal symmetry of the head due to, for example, the presence of a bleed or clot in stroke. We assess the potential of BFSD-EIT to robustly detect lesions under a series of ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-19)Objective: Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD)-EIT can detect, localize and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, we test the viability and robustness of BFSD-EIT in stroke diagnosis. Methods: A ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02-20)Objective: A novel method for the imaging of static scenes using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is reported with implementation and validation using numerical and phantom models. The technique is applicable to regions ... -

Biased stock assessment when using multiple, hardly overlapping, tuning series if fishing trends vary spatially
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-06-23)Fishing-effort distributions are subject to change, for autonomous reasons and in response to management regulations. Ignoring such changes in a stock-assessment procedure may lead to a biased perception. We simulated a ... -
Biaxial loading of offshore monopiles: numerical modelling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-05-18)In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ... -
Bidirectional inverter with improved light load efficiency for integration in a hybrid AC/DC distribution system in buildings
(NUI Galway, 2023-03-28)Increasingly more research is being done on DC distribution systems with the aim of increasing system efficiency for power delivery between DC power sources, loads, and energy storage equipment as compared to AC ... -
Bifurcations in nonsmooth dynamical systems
(Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2008-01-01)A review is presented of the one-parameter, nonsmooth bifurcations that occur in a variety of continuous-time piecewise-smooth dynamical systems. Motivated by applications, a pragmatic approach is taken to defining a ... -
Bifurcatriol, a new antiprotozoal acyclic diterpene from the brown alga bifurcaria bifurcata
(MDPI AG, 2017-08-02)Linear diterpenes that are commonly found in brown algae are of high chemotaxonomic and ecological importance. This study reports bifurcatriol (1), a new linear diterpene featuring two stereogenic centers isolated from the ... -
Big Brother Big Sister and Garda youth diversion projects: perspectives on youth mentoring as a preventative intervention
(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)Current policy emphasises the need for community involvement and inter-agency co-operation in youth crime prevention, as well as approaches that seek to strengthen the protective factors in young people’s lives, thus ... -
