Modeling the independent effects of gestational diabetes mellitus on maternity care and costs
(American Diabetes Association, 2012-12-28)OBJECTIVE-To explore the independent effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on maternity care and costs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Estimates for maternity care resource activity and costs for 4,372 women, of whom ... -
Modeling the influence of potassium content and heating rate on biomass pyrolysis
(Elsevier, 2017-03-14)This study presents a combined kinetic and particle model that describes the effect of potassium and heating rate during the fast pyrolysis of woody and herbaceous biomass. The model calculates the mass loss rate, over a ... -
Modelling a batch biofilm passive aeration process using an activated sludge process and a biofilm process
(2015-05-29)Recently, mathematical modelling of wastewater treatment plants has become a widely used tool for planning, designing, optimising and evaluating wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). While wastewater models can provide ... -
Modelling access to the Irish Coastline: a contingent behavioural approach.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2010-12)This paper measures willingness to pay (WTP) for public access and trail improvements to a coastal recreational site in the west of Ireland. The Contingent Behaviour model is used to measure the increased number of trips ... -
Modelling accommodation and ageing of the crystalline lens in the human eye
(2016-06-03)This thesis is a study on the optical properties of the human eye; specifically, optical modelling of the human lens with accommodation and ageing. The idiosyncratic nature of the human eye provides a hindrance to modelling ... -
Modelling and design of microinductors for power supply on chip applications
(2015-05-27)The never-ending pursuit of higher power density and efficiency has driven researchers to explore new areas of device integration and fabrication of dc-dc converters. To improve power density and efficiency researchers are ... -
Modelling beyond regression functions: an application of multimodal regression to speed–flow data
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-08-01)For speed-flow data, which are intensively discussed in transportation science, common nonparametric regression models of the type y = m(x) + noise turn out to be inadequate since simple functional models cannot capture ... -
Modelling brain tissue elasticity with the Ogden model and an alternative family of constitutive models.
(The Royal Society, 2022-08-29)The Ogden model is often considered as a standard model in the literature for application to the deformation of brain tissue. Here, we show that, in some of those applications, the use of the Ogden model leads to the ... -
Modelling chemistry and biology after implantation of a drug-eluting stent. part i: drug transport
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-10-01)Drug-eluting stents have been used widely to prevent restenosis of arteries following percutaneous balloon angioplasty. Mathematical modelling plays an important role in optimising the design of these stents to maximise ... -
Modelling drug release from polymer-free coronary stents with microporous surfaces
(Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)Traditional coronary drug-eluting stents (DES) are made from metal and are coated with a permanent polymer film containing an anti-proliferative drug. Subsequent to stent deployment in a diseased coronary artery, the drug ... -
Modelling early life exposure to antidepressants in rats: Developmental, behavioural and neurochemical aspects
(2013-02-11)Depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period has been associated with deleterious consequences such as preterm birth, low birth weight and less optimal scores on neonatal reflexes and behaviour. Pharmacological ... -
Modelling exposure to pharmaceutical agents
(Institute of Physics, 2009)Aerosol exposure to the active ingredients of pharmaceuticals arises in research, development and manufacturing. In most instances it is only possible to make small numbers of measurements of exposure and given the inter- ... -
Modelling exposure to pharmaceutical agents
(IOP Publishing, 2009-02-01)Aerosol exposure to the active ingredients of pharmaceuticals arises in research, development and manufacturing. In most instances it is only possible to make small numbers of measurements of exposure and given the inter-and ... -
Modelling fluid flow through fractured rock: Examples using TVZ geothermal reservoirs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2015-11-18)Geothermal resources are often hosted within volcanic, plutonic, and basement-type lithologies. As such their matrix permeability can be very low and the transport and circulation of geothermal fluids will be dominated by ... -
Modelling Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) using anisotropy resolved multi-dimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES)
(Elsevier, 2020-11-16)Background Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is widely used to study the structure and dynamics of biomolecular systems and also causes the non-linear fluorescence response observed in multi-fluorophore proteins. ... -
Modelling fuel consumption of fishing vessels for predictive use
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-06-10)Fuel costs are an important element in models used to analyse and predict fisher behaviour for application within the wider mixed fisheries and ecosystem approaches to management. This investigation explored the predictive ... -
Modelling height in adolescence: a comparison of methods for estimating the age at peak height velocity
(Informa UK Limited, 2017-11-07)Background: Controlling for maturational status and timing is crucial in lifecourse epidemiology. One popular non-invasive measure of maturity is the age at peak height velocity (PHV). There are several ways to estimate ... -
Modelling human brain circuitry in patients with KCNQ2-Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy using induced pluripotent stem cells
(NUI Galway, 2023-10-16)Mutations (pathogenic variants) in KCNQ2, which encode the voltage-dependent K+ channel Kv7.2 (responsible for neuronal M-current) can cause developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), a disorder presenting with ... -
Modelling nutrient and chlorophyll_a dynamics in an Irish brackish waterbody
