Characterising glyphosate exposures among amenity horticulturists using multiple spot urine samples
(Elsevier, 2018-07-08)
Background
Glyphosate has recently received much public attention following its Group 2A probably carcinogenic to humans classification from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Despite the widespread ...
Performance review of multiple reference versus time domain optical coherence tomography
(IEEE, 2018-04-19)
We present a detailed characterization of noise sources in multiple reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) compared to time-domain OCT (TD-OCT). The noise characteristics were modeled based on the TD-OCT noise ...
Entertaining physics education: using an astronomy board game to enhance student learning and motivation
(GIREP-MPTL 2018, 2018-07-09)
This study examines the effects of a novel Astronomy Board Game on students science performance, their attitudes towards learning Science through games and their perception of scientists. Post-primary students in Ireland ...
1064 nm acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy
(Wiley, 2018-12-03)
Photoacoustic imaging is a noninvasive imaging technique having the advantages of high-optical contrast and good acoustic resolution at improved imaging depths. Light transport in biological tissues is mainly characterized ...
Asteroid Day: a vehicle for raising public awareness of astronomy and space exploration among primary students in Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2018-03-24)
Asteroid Day is a global awareness campaign which takes place annually to learn about asteroids, their impact and to increase awareness on how we can protect the Earth from future asteroid impacts. At the event students ...
Portable X-ray fluorescence for the detection of POP-BFRs in waste plastics
(Elsevier, 2018-05-26)
The purpose of this study was to establish the efficacy of portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrumentation as a screening tool for a variety of end of life plastics which may contain excess amounts of brominated flame ...
Label-free ultra-sensitive visualization of structure below the diffraction resolution limit
(Wiley, 2018-03-23)
For both fundamental study of biological processes and early diagnosis of diseases, information about nanoscale changes in tissue and cell structure is crucial. Nowadays, almost all currently known nanoscopy methods rely ...
Feasibility of correlation mapping optical coherence tomography angiographic technique using a 200 kHz vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser source for in vivo microcirculation imaging applications
(Optica, 2018-08-01)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is a well-established in vivo imaging technique to assess the overall vascular morphology of tissues and is an emerging field of research for the assessment of blood flow ...
Characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator for multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(Optica, 2018-08-30)
The characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) as a new axial scanning method for multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is described. MR-OCT is a compact optical imaging device based ...
