Information and Communications Technology and Institutional Design for Climate Change
(2010-10-13)Information and communications technology (ICT) can be used to gather data on environmental conditions, forecast future events and regulate human behaviour. Although the potential of ICT as a tool for environmental regulation ... -
Information but not consultation: exploring employee involvement in SMEs
(International Journal of Human Resource Management, 2007)Most research on employee involvement (EI) has focused on large or ¿mainstream¿ organizations. By adopting those schemes which 'appear' to work well in larger organizations, smaller firms assume there will be enhanced ... -
Information security behavior: A cross-cultural comparison of Irish and US employees
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-08-09)This study explores how aspects of perceived national culture affect the information security attitudes and behavior of employees. Data was collected using 19 semi-structured interviews in Ireland and the United States of ... -
Information System Development over Time - More Lessons from the Field.
(Irish Academy of Management, 2005)This paper presents further results from a longitudinal research study that has been conducted with one organization, the Western Financial Services (WFS) Group, over a six-year period (Barry 2004). They operate in the ... -
Information systems - unavoidable nuisances in combining local administratives?
(2009)Local administratives face challenges similar to enterprises due to changes in their environment. Municipalities need to join their resources to reimburse and to deliver services. However, municipalities have not received ... -
Information systems project portfolio management as a complex adaptive system: The CAPPP framework
(2018-01-29)Project portfolio management (PPM) has been subject to very little investigation in information systems (IS) research. This is surprising, given the huge global expenditure on IS, the high levels of failure at the project ... -
An informed pedagogy of community, care, and respect for diversity: Evidence from a qualitative evaluation of early years services in the west of Ireland
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2017-07-03)This article draws on qualitative evidence from an evaluation of the Greater Tomorrow Crèche and Ballyhaunis Community Preschool in Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo, Ireland in 2016. The article focuses on the approach to practice ... -
Informing food policies in post-primary schools in Ireland: Knowledge to Action

Informing policy dialogue: The Youth as Researchers Programme
(Routledge Taylor and Francis, 2021-12-24)This chapter reflects on how youth, through the medium of youth-led research, can seek to influence public policy by bringing a more democratic and informed youth perspective into the policy-making arena. The chapter details ... -
Infrared imaging for human thermography and breast tumor classification using thermal images
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-08-31)Human thermography is considered to be an integral medical diagnostic tool for detecting heat patterns and measuring quantitative temperature data of the human body. It can be used in conjunction with other medical diagnostic ... -
Infrared thermography technique as an in-situ method of assessing heat loss through thermal bridging
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)A key aspect in assessing the thermal standard of building envelopes is the quantification of the heat loss though thermal bridging, which can be expressed in terms of the linear thermal transmittance Psi. Values of W may ... -
Infrastructure for data processing in large-scale interconnected sensor network
(2007)With the price of wireless sensor technologies diminishing rapidly we can expect large numbers of autonomous sensor networks being deployed in the near future. These sensor networks will typically not remain isolated but ... -
Infrastructure for Dynamic Knowledge Integration -- Automated Biomedical Ontology Extension Using Textual Resources
(Elsevier, 2008)We present a novel ontology integration technique that explicitly takes the dynamics and data-intensiveness of e-health and biomedicine application domains into account. Changing and growing knowledge, possibly contained ... -

An Infrastructure for Privacy-Enabled Sharing of Context Data
(2011-08-29)The concept of context originated in the ubiquitous computing domain where information regarding the user's situation was gathered using sensing devices, allowing the application to automatically adapt according to the ... -
An inherited duplication at the gene p21 Protein-Activated Kinase 7 (PAK7) is a risk factor for psychosis
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-01-28)Identifying rare, highly penetrant risk mutations may be an important step in dissecting the molecular etiology of schizophrenia. We conducted a gene-based analysis of large (>100 kb), rare copy-number variants (CNVs) in ... -
Inherited variants in the inner centromere protein (incenp) gene of the chromosomal passenger complex contribute to the susceptibility of er-negative breast cancer
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-01-13)The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cell division. Therefore, inherited CPC variability could influence tumor development. The present candidate gene approach investigates the ... -
Inhibition by Anandamide of 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Cell Death in PC12 Cells
(2010)6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective neurotoxin that is widely used to investigate cell death and protective strategies in models of Parkinson's disease. Here, we investigated the effects of the endogenous cannabinoid, ... -
Inhibition of a secreted glutamic peptidase prevents growth of the fungustalaromyces emersonii
(American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 2008-08-07)secretes a variety of hydrolytic enzymes that are of interest for processing of biomass into fuel. Many carbohydrases have been isolated and characterized from this fungus, but no studies had been performed on peptidases. ... -
