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 ... -

(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2012)The Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentoring Programme was established by Foróige in Ireland in 2001. The programme has two strands - a community-based programme which facilitates a friendship or ‘match’ between a young ... -
Big data–led cancer research, application, and insights
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2016-10-20)Insights distilled from integratingmultiple big-data or "omic" datasets have revealed functional hierarchies of molecular networks driving tumorigenesis and modifiers of treatment response. Identifying ... -
Big linked cancer data: Integrating linked TCGA and PubMed
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-07-16)The amount of bio-medical data available on the Web grows exponentially with time. The resulting large volume of data makes manual exploration very tedious. Moreover, the velocity at which this data changes and the variety ... -

The bile pigments and genetics of ballan wrasse morphotypes
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-10)All fish have the pigment bilirubin in their blood which results from the breakdown of haemoglobin, however, some Labridae and other species also have an alternative pigment known as biliverdin which results in blue-green ... -
Bimodular rubber buckles early in bending
(Elsevier, 2009-12-03)A block of rubber eventually buckles under severe flexure, and several axial wrinkles appear on the inner curved face of the bent block. Experimental measurements reveal that the buckling occurs earlier - at lower compressive ...
