Using the Agile software development lifecycle to develop a standalone application for generating colour magnitude diagrams
(Elsevier, 2019-05-11)
Virtual observatories allow the means by which an astronomer is able to discover, access, and process data seamlessly, regardless of its physical location. However, steep learning curves are often required to become ...
Game-based learning to engage students with physics and astronomy using a board game
(IGI Global, 2019)
In this research article, the authors developed a novel astronomy board game and examined how this
approach could facilitate the learning and teaching of astronomy topics covered in the new Irish Science
Syllabus. A total ...
Experimental assessment of clinical MRI-induced global SAR distributions in head phantoms
(Elsevier, 2019-10-05)
Accurate estimation of SAR is critical to safeguarding vulnerable patients who require an MRI procedure. The increased static field strength and RF duty cycle capabilities in modern MRI scanners mean that systems can easily ...
Label free ultra-sensitive imaging with sub-diffraction spatial resolution
(IEEE, 2019-07-09)
In this paper, we show a new way to break the resolution limit and dramatically improve sensitivity to structural
changes. To realize it we developed a novel label free contrast mechanism, based on the spectral encoding ...
Spatial frequency domain correlation mapping optical coherence tomography for nanoscale structural characterization
(AIP Publishing, 2019-09-16)
Most of the fundamental pathological processes in living tissues exhibit changes at the nanoscale. Noninvasive, label-free detection of structural changes in biological samples pose a significant challenge to both researchers ...
Leaching of decabromodiphenyl ether and hexabromocyclododecane from fabrics under simulated landfill conditions
(KeAi Communications Co. Ltd, 2019-12-30)
A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the leaching of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) from a mix of three fabrics. Consistent with previous reports that such ...
Occupational exposures in an equestrian centre to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica
(MDPI, 2019-09-03)
Abstract: Sand-based products are regularly used as footing material on indoor equestrian arenas, creating a potential occupational exposure risk for respirable crystalline silica (RCS) for equestrian workers training and ...
The EMEP Intensive Measurement Period campaign, 2008-2009: characterizing carbonaceous aerosol at nine rural sites in Europe
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-04-03)
Carbonaceous aerosol (total carbon, TCp) was source apportioned at nine European rural background sites, as part of the European Measurement and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) Intensive Measurement Periods in fall 2008 and ...
Building a European exposure science strategy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12-02)
Exposure information is a critical element in various regulatory and non-regulatory frameworks in Europe and elsewhere. Exposure science supports to ensure safe environments, reduce human health risks, and foster a sustainable ...
Ultra-sensitive label free imaging below the resolution limit
(SPIE (Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers) Digital Library, 2019-02-02)
Almost all known nanoscopy methods rely upon the contrast created by fluorescent labels attached to the object of interest. This causes limitations on their applicability to in vivo imaging.
A new label-free spectral ...
