Use of folding modulators to improve heterologous protein production in escherichia coli
(Springer Nature, 2009-01-01)Despite the fundamental importance of E. coli in the manufacture of a wide range of biotechnological and biomedical products, extensive process and/or target optimisation is routinely required in order to achieve functional ... -
Use of microarray technology to assess the time course of liver stress response after confinement exposure in gilthead sea bream (sparus aurata l.)
(Springer Nature, 2010-01-01)Background: Selection programs for growth and stress traits in cultured fish are fundamental to the improvement of aquaculture production. The gilthead sea bream ( Sparus aurata) is the main aquacultured species in the ... -
Use of ochre from an abandoned metal mine in the south east of ireland for phosphorus sequestration from dairy dirty water
(American Society of Agronomy, 2009-01-01)Ochre found at coal mine drainage sites in the United Kingdom shows a high phosphorus (P) retention capacity with little mobilization of metals. This indicates that ochre has the potential to adsorb P from agricultural ... -
Use of zeolite with alum and polyaluminum chloride amendments to mitigate runoff losses of phosphorus, nitrogen, and suspended solids from agricultural wastes applied to grassed soils
(American Society of Agronomy, 2015-01-01)Diffuse pollutant losses containing phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), and suspended solids (SS) can occur when agricultural wastes are applied to soil. This study aimed to mitigate P, N, and SS losses in runoff from grassed ... -
Usefulness of a competency-based reflective portfolio for student learning on a masters health promotion programme
(SAGE Publications, 2010-07-02)Background: Efforts to identify core competencies within health promotion and health education have been on-going for a number of years. These efforts include work carried out by the International Union for Health Promotion ... -
Using action dynamics to assess competing stimulus control during stimulus equivalence testing
(Springer Nature, 2013-02-03)Previous studies have identified potential sources of competing stimulus control in tests for stimulus equivalence. The present experiment employed the Nintendo Wii remote (WiimoteA (R)) to investigate whether such competition ... -
Using case study within a sequential explanatory design to evaluate the impact of specialist and advanced practice roles on clinical outcomes: the scape study
(Springer Nature, 2013-04-08)Background: The role of the clinical nurse/midwife specialist and advanced nurse/midwife practitioner is complex not least because of the diversity in how the roles are operationalised across health settings and within ... -
Using collective intelligence to identify barriers to teaching 12–19 year olds about the ocean in europe
(Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01)Since the degradation of the marine environment is strongly linked to human activities, having citizens who appreciate the ocean's influence on them and their influence on the ocean is important. Research has shown that ... -
Using eddy covariance to measure the dependence of air–sea co<sub>2</sub> exchange rate on friction velocity
(Copernicus GmbH, 2018-03-28)Parameterisation of the air-sea gas transfer velocity of CO2 and other trace gases under open-ocean conditions has been a focus of air-sea interaction research and is required for accurately determining ocean carbon uptake. ... -

Using participatory learning & action research to access and engage with ‘hard to reach’ migrants in primary healthcare research
(Springer Nature, 2015-12-01)Background: Communication problems occur in general practice consultations when migrants and general practitioners do not share a common language and culture. Migrants' perspectives have rarely been included in the development ... -
Using pm2.5 concentrations to estimate the health burden from solid fuel combustion, with application to irish and scottish homes
(Springer Nature, 2013-06-19)Background: This study estimates the potential population health burden from exposure to combustion-derived particulate air pollution in domestic settings in Ireland and Scotland. Methods: The study focused on solid fuel ... -
