Benchmarking Domain-Specific Expert Search Using Workshop Program Committees
(ACM, 2013)Traditionally, relevance assessments for expert search have been gathered through self-assessment or based on the opinions of co-workers. We introduce three benchmark datasets1 for expert search that use conference workshops ... -
Benefits and drawbacks of open source software: An exploratory study of secondary software firms
(Springer, 2007-06-14)Much of the assessment of OSS benefits and drawbacks has been based on anecdotal evidence appearing in practitioner publications, white papers, web articles etc. To a greater extent this research has tended to concentrate ... -
Beyond Budgeting: A Performance Management Model for Software Development Teams
(2010)The Beyond Budgeting performance management model enables companies to keep pace with changing environments, to quickly create and adapt strategy and to empower people throughout the organisation to make effective choices. ... -
Beyond the PDF [At the Event report]
(2011)'Beyond the PDF' brought together around 80 people to the University of California San Diego to discuss scholarly communication, primarily in the sciences. The main topic: How can we apply emergent technologies to improve ... -
Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD) EIT in stroke diagnosis
(EIT2019, 2019-07-01)BFSD-EIT can detect deviations in the inherent normal symmetry of the head due to, for example, the presence of a bleed or clot in stroke. We assess the potential of BFSD-EIT to robustly detect lesions under a series of ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-19)Objective: Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD)-EIT can detect, localize and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, we test the viability and robustness of BFSD-EIT in stroke diagnosis. Methods: A ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02-20)Objective: A novel method for the imaging of static scenes using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is reported with implementation and validation using numerical and phantom models. The technique is applicable to regions ... -
Big Brother Big Sister and Garda youth diversion projects: perspectives on youth mentoring as a preventative intervention
(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)Current policy emphasises the need for community involvement and inter-agency co-operation in youth crime prevention, as well as approaches that seek to strengthen the protective factors in young people’s lives, thus ... -
