(NUI Galway, 2021-07-30)This project outlines a new method of annotating and quantitatively discussing narrative techniques related to time in fiction. Its principal research questions are, firstly, to determine whether a valid and useful system ... -
Measuring node decentralisation in blockchain peer to peer networks
(Elsevier, 2023-02-08)New blockchain platforms are launching at a high cadence, each fighting for attention, adoption, and infrastructure resources. Several studies have measured the peer-to-peer (P2P) network decentralisation of Bitcoin and ... -
Measuring outcomes of importance to women with stress urinary incontinence
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-03-11)To provide evidence on outcomes of importance to women who have stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The secondary aim was to identify additional outcomes that ought to be collected in future primary studies or in systematic ... -
Measuring population mental health and social well-being
(Springer Nature, 2011-11-03)Objectives This paper examines the relationships between indicators of positive and negative dimensions of mental health, social well-being and physical health. Methods The paper reports on data collected in the third ... -
Measuring public preferences for the conservation of the traditional farm landscape
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2011-07)This paper explores individuals' attitudes towards the traditional farm landscape. Results from a Generalised Tobit Interval model of willingness to pay for traditional farm landscape protection suggest that individuals ... -
Measuring safety climate in aviation: A review and recommendations for the future
(2011)This paper reviews 23 studies that have examined safety climate within commercial and military aviation. The safety climate factors identified in the aviation safety climate questionnaires were found to be consistent with ... -
