Effectiveness of a structured education reminiscence-based programme for staff on the quality of life of residents with dementia in long-stay units: A study protocol for a cluster randomised trial.
(BioMed Central, 2011-02)Background: Current projections indicate that there will be a significant increase in the number of people with dementia in Ireland, from approximately 40,000 at present to 100,000 by 2036. Psychosocial interventions, such ... -
The Effectiveness of Decision Support Systems on Mobile Devices
(2008-11-26)This paper reports the results of an experiment as part of a study assessing the impact of decision aid use on performance-based decision-making. We examine the effect of a single- user decision support mechanism for ... -
Effects and mechanisms of action of sildenafil citrate in human chorionic arteries
(2009)Objectives Sildenafil citrate, a specific phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, is increasingly used for pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy. Sildenafil is also emerging as a potential candidate for the treatment of intra-uterine ... -
Effects of combined progesterone and 17 beta-estradiol treatment on the transcriptome of cultured human myometrial smooth muscle cells
(American Physiological Society, 2016-01-01)A transcriptomic analysis of cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells (hUtSMCs) was performed to examine gene expression profiles in smooth muscle in an environment containing the two major steroid hormones that regulate ... -
Effects of combined progesterone and beta-estradiol treatment on the transcriptome of cultured human myometrial smooth muscle cells
(American Physiological Society, 2015)A transcriptomic analysis of cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells (hUtSMCs) was performed in order to examine gene expression profiles in smooth muscle in an environment containing the two major steroid hormones that ... -
Effects of growth phase and temperature on sigma(B) Activity within a Listeria monocytogenes population: evidence for RsbV-independent activation of sigma(B) at refrigeration temperatures
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-03-05)The alternative sigma factor sigma(B) of Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for regulating the transcription of many of the genes necessary for adaptation to both food-related stresses and to conditions found within the ... -
Effects of long-term exposure of gelatinated and non-gelatinated cadmium telluride quantum dots on differentiated PC12 cells
(BioMed Central, 2012-01-20)Background: The inherent toxicity of unmodified Quantum Dots (QDs) is a major hindrance to their use in biological applications. To make them more potent as neuroprosthetic and neurotherapeutic agents, thioglycolic acid ... -
Effects of mesenchymal stromal cells on regulatory T cells: Current understanding and clinical relevance
(AlphaMed Press and Wiley, 2020-01-29)The immunomodulatory potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and regulatory T cells (T-reg) is well recognized by translational scientists in the field of regenerative medicine and cellular therapies. A wide range ... -
Effects Of See-Through Interfaces On User Acceptance Of Small-Screen Information Systems
(2008-11-26)Small-screen devices such as mobile phones are increasingly pervasive. Reduced screen areas compromise the ease-of-use of such devices, and consequently, a concern for system designers becomes the maximization of ... -
An Eigenvalue-Based Measure for Word-Sense Disambiguation
(FLAIRS 2012, 2012)Current approaches for word-sense disambiguation (WSD) try to relate the senses of the target words by optimizing a score for each sense in the context of all other words' senses. However, by scoring each sense separately, ... -
Electric field stimulation for tissue engineering applications
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2021-01-05)Electric fields are involved in numerous physiological processes, including directional embryonic development and wound healing following injury. To study these processes in vitro and/or to harness electric field stimulation ... -
Electrodeposited poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) films as neural interfaces: Cytocompatibility and electrochemical studies
(Elsevier, 2019-02-06)Conducting polymers have been extensively reported as promising coating materials for applications involving interactions with electrically excitable tissues. Specifically, metal electrodes functionalized with conducting ... -
The ELEXIS interface for interoperable lexical resources
(eLex 2019, 2019-10-01)ELEXIS is a project that aims to create a European network of lexical resources, and one of the key challenges for this is the development of an interoperable interface for different lexical resources so that further ... -
Embedding non-ground logic programs into autoepistemic logic for knowledge base combination
(2011)In the context of the Semantic Web, several approaches to the combination of ontologies, given in terms of theories of classical first-order logic and rule bases, have been proposed. They either cast rules into classical ... -
Empathy and teamwork: reflections on the legacy of Claudio Ciborra through the phenomenology of Edith Stein.
