Development of a high time resolution optical polarimeter for astronomy
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-17)
This work started in September, 2014 and initially started as an investigation of
the characterisation issues associated with using Electron Multiplying Charge-
Coupled Devices (EMCCDs) in a two beam polarimeter. It was ...
Just tweet it - The collection, processing, classification and analysis of 2 million fitness tweets
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-13)
In 2013, the World Health Organization coined the term “Globesity” to highlight the importance of the epidemic and impact as a major health problem in many parts of the world (World Health Organization, 2013). Many believe ...
Novel insights into allele-specific expression and translation in human lymphoblastoid cell lines through integrative analysis of transcriptomic and ribosome profiling data
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-20)
The rate of mRNA translation makes an important contribution to determining protein abundance in cells and genetic variants that affect the rate at which a protein is synthesized may give rise to human genetic diseases and ...
Cognitive load and working memory capacity; within and between modality
(NUI Galway, 2018-10)
Perceptual load and cognitive load have been assessed in the same method. However, it is proposed they have self-regulating and contradictory effects on the use of attentional resources. The difficulty of distinguishing ...
Understanding the multifunctional domains of controller protein Centrin2
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-21)
Centrin2 is a centrosomal calcium-binding protein that plays a critical role in centriole dynamics and ciliogenesis. Structurally, it has four calcium-binding EF- hand motifs. Most of the cellular centrin2 is not associated ...
Cell cycle regulation of centromere assembly in Drosophila male meiosis
(NUI Galway, 2018-03-16)
Centromeres are chromosomal sites required for faithful chromosome segregation. CENP-A is the histone H3 variant that demarcates centromeres from bulk chromatin. Errors in centromere assembly result in segregation defects ...
ATR mediated regulation of the abscission checkpoint
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-30)
Unperturbed mitotic cell division is essential for survival. For cells to complete mitosis, genetic material must be distributed equally between the new cells before the final abscission. Failure to complete chromosome ...
Openness and praxis: A situated study of academic staff meaning-making and decision-making with respect to openness and use of open educational practices in higher education
(NUI Galway, 2018-04-12)
Open education seeks to improve educational access, effectiveness, and equality. The term ‘open educational practices’ (OEP) describes practices that include the creation, use and reuse of open educational resources (OER) ...
