Investigation of depth-resolved nanoscale structural changes in regulated cell proliferation and chromatin decondensation: erratum
(The Optical Society, 2013-10-14) -
An investigation of emergency virtual observation (EVO) in initial teacher education, in Australia and Ireland during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Routledge, 2021-04-27)When the World Health Organisation declared the novel Coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, a change occurred across all levels of the educational landscape. It posed specific challenges in the context of initial teacher ... -
An investigation of employee security behaviour in organisational settings: the effect of procedural security countermeasures and cultural factors
(2015-08-18)An increasing number of information security breaches in organisations presents a serious threat to the security of personal and commercially sensitive information. Recent research shows that humans are the weakest link ... -
Investigation of employee security behaviour: A grounded theory approach
(Springer, 2015-05-09)At a time of rapid business globalisation, it is necessary to understand employee security behaviour within diverse cultural settings. While general deterrence theory has been extensively used in Behavioural Informatio ... -
Investigation of exposure to recreational waters as a risk for colonisation with carbapenemase and extended spectrum beta lactamase producing enterobacterales
(NUI Galway, 2024-01-08)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest human health risks globally. Traditionally, AMR has been considered as a clinical issue, but recently, non-clinical settings have come to light as a significant ... -
An Investigation of Factors Affecting Satisfactory Student Learning via On-Line Discussion Boards
(2009)This paper explores the factors which affect students¿ learning using on-line discussion boards. Following prior research into the use and acceptance of information technology in general, and of educational ... -
Investigation of faecal pollution sources and bacterial transfer hydrodynamics in rural catchments
(2015-03-13)Faecal bacteria from point and diffuse source pollution can impact water which poses a serious public health and environmental threat. Faecal pollution contains nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen and when in excess ... -
Investigation of fluid dynamics in a vibrating mesh nebulizer using the finite volume particle method
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-17)In Aerogen aerosol drug delivery technology, an aperture plate vibrates at high frequency under a piezoelectric drive. Liquid drug stored on one side of the plate passes through the apertures to form an aerosol of microscopic ... -
An investigation of gelotophobia in individuals with a diagnosis of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder
(Springer Verlag, 2018-07-03)Samson et al. (Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 41:475 483, 2011) conducted the first empirical investigation examining the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia) and its prevalence in individuals with high ... -
An investigation of harmful jellyfish mitigation measures: From sting management to jellyfish forecasting
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-10)Even though they provide many beneficial services to their ecosystem, jellyfish are infamous for their direct negative impact on human activities such as fishing, power generation, tourism and aquaculture. To address the ... -
Investigation of histology radius for dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous materials
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-07-13)Knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is fundamental in the design of novel electromagnetic-based medical devices. Tissue dielectric properties are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial ... -
Investigation of histology region in dielectric measurements of heterogeneous tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-08-17)The dielectric properties of tissues are the key parameters in electromagnetic medical technologies. Despite the apparent simplicity of the dielectric measurement process, reported data have been inconsistent for heterogeneous ... -
Investigation of intron coevolution and the autoimmune potential of alternative splicing
(2016-07-20)Introns are non-coding intergenic sequences that are routinely excised from nascent pre-mRNA transcripts by a process known as splicing. Although they do not contribute directly to the protein-coding sequences of genes, ... -
