(2016-04-18)Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a zoonotic pathogen of major public health importance and is the leading cause of gastroenteritis woldwide. Poultry is regarded as one of the most important reservoirs for Campylobacter ... -
Adaptive shooting for bots in first person shooter games using reinforcement learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-06-01)In current state-of-the-art commercial first person shooter games, computer controlled bots, also known as nonplayer characters, can often be easily distinguishable from those controlled by humans. Tell-tale signs such as ... -
Adaptive task assignment in spatial crowdsourcing
(2016-08)Spatial crowdsourcing has emerged as a new paradigm for solving difficult problems in the physical world. It engages a large number of human workers in scenarios such as crisis management and smart cities. The utility of ... -
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(Wiley, 2010-04-21)The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ... -
Addressing challenges and opportunities of the European seafood sector under a circular economy framework
(Elsevier, 2020-02-11)The European seafood and aquaculture sectors are facing important challenges in terms of environmental threats (climate change, marine debris, resources depletion), social development (worker rights, consumer's awareness) ... -
Addressing fidelity within complex health behaviour change interventions: A protocol of a scoping review of intervention fidelity frameworks and models
(Health Research Board, 2018-12-11)Intervention fidelity is crucial to facilitate accurate interpretation of research outcomes, but has been inadequately addressed within complex health behaviour change interventions. Recent research has highlighted a need ... -
Addressing human error within the Irish healthcare system.
(Irish Medical Organisation, 2011-02)Research shows that human error, as opposed to mechanical failure, is the major causal factor of industrial and transportation accidents. The same is true in healthcare. This paper briefly discusses five human error reduction ... -
Addressing the determinants of positive mental health: concepts, evidence and practice
(2009)Positive mental health is recognised as a key resource for population well-being and the social and economic prosperity of society. This paper provides an overview of current concepts of positive mental health and its ... -
