An investigation on the use of sensory electrical stimulation as a cueing therapy to ameliorate on-state freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's Disease
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-04)People with Parkinson’s (PwP) currently face a significant challenge in managing on-state Freezing of Gait (FoG). While auditory and visual cueing therapies have been shown to ameliorate on-state FoG, studies often show ... -
Investigations into assimilating high-frequency radar data into a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of a wind-dominated coastal water body
(2015-10)Accurate forecasting of surface currents in coastal waters is of great importance for operations such as search and rescue operations and marine energy extraction. Numerical models and measurements are two powerful ... -

Investigations into soil microbiome stability in the face of agriculture and climate change related perturbations
(NUI Galway, 2017-11-05)Soils and the vital ecosystem services performed by their indigenous microbiota are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic stresses and climate change. In an effort to understand how the provision of soil ecosystem ... -
Investigations of spicules and spicule formation in Haplosclerida (Porifera, Demospongiae) using a multidisciplinary approach
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-09)Sponges are simple animals and their body is formed by different cell types and a dense skeleton either of collagen, chitin or spicules made of amorphous silica or calcium carbonate that they secrete. The phylum Porifera ... -
Investigations of the magnetospheric plasma distribution in the vicinity of a pulsar - I Basic formulation
(2008)The magnetospheric plasma distribution in the vicinity of a pulsar at various inclination angles is investigated using a new relativistic, parallel 3D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code DYMPHNA3D. DYMPHNA3D uses a superposition ... -

The invisible barrier to safe textile recycling
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-14)Presence of certain chemical additives (e.g. halogenated flame retardants, perfluoroalkyl substances, and phthalates) could hinder textile recycling operations as their presence renders end-of-life materials as “hazardous” ... -
Invited Talk: Can We Deal with Emergent Knowledge Yet?
(VSE Prague, 2010)This overview paper briefly describes problems we need to tackle if we want to meaningfully and efficiently process emergent knowledge. By this term we essentially mean knowledge continually emerging in a bottom-up manner ... -
Involvement of capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves and cholecystokinin 2/gastrin receptors in gastroprotection and adaptation of gastric mucosa to helicobacter pylori-lipopolysaccharide
(American Society for Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), 2004-04-02)Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the virulence factors in the Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-infected stomach, but it remains unknown whether single and prolonged pretreatment with HpLPS can affect the course of gastric damage ... -
Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in attentional modulation of nociceptive behaviour in rats
(Wiley, 2014-11-15)BackgroundDistraction is used clinically to relieve and manage pain. It is hypothesized that pain demands attention and that exposure to another attention-demanding stimulus causes withdrawal of attention away from painful ... -
Involvement of toll-like receptor 4 in concanavalin A-induced liver injury: Investigation on structure and permeability of intestinal wall
(NUI Galway, 2021-08-31)Concanavalin A (ConA) induces T cell-mediated liver injury in mice associated with altered microcirculation, cytokine signalling cascades, and increased intestinal permeability. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) acts as a sensor ... -
Involving children and young people in social research: navigating the balance between protection and participation
(2016-10-14)This thesis is an article-based PhD. Against the backdrop of the almost universal acceptance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the scholarly works comprising the ‘new social studies of childhood’, the ... -
Involving migrants in the development of guidelines for communication in cross-cultural general practice consultations: a participatory learning and action research project
(BMJ, 2015-09-01)Objective: The aim of this research was to involve migrants and other key stakeholders in a participatory dialogue to develop a guideline for enhancing communication in cross-cultural general practice consultations. In ... -
Inward foreign investment and the clustering process: the case of the medical technology sector in Ireland
(CISC, 2008-12)This paper investigates how, if at all, inward foreign investment can instigate a clustering process when such investment is initially attracted to a region as a result of targeted public policy rather than the existence ... -
Iodine content in bulk biomass of wild-harvested and cultivated edible seaweeds: inherent variations determine species-specific daily allowable consumption
(Elsevier BV, 2018-02-01)This study represents a large-scale investigation into iodine contents in three commercially important and edible seaweed species from the North Atlantic: the brown algae Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta, and the ... -
Iodine dioxide nucleation simulations in coastal and remote marine environments
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-01-27)Aerosol dynamical box model simulations of coastal new particle formation were performed in order to investigate the nucleation and growth mechanisms in this environment. In the simulations the nucleating vapor was assumed ... -
Iodine in Seaweeds - Physiological Significance and Implications for Climate and Health
(2013-01-18)Iodine-rich macroalgae inhabit the subtidal on coasts in temperate regions. The algae-driven release of iodine into the environment has major implications for the biogeochemical iodine cycle a ffecting atmospheric chemistry ... -
