Application of higher order statistics techniques to emg signals to characterize the motor unit action potential
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-07-01)
The electromyographic (EMG) signal provides information about the performance of muscles and nerves. At any instant, the shape of the muscle signal, motor unit action potential (MUAP), is constant unless there is movement ...
The need for outcome measures in medical education

Variations in helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide to evade the innate immune component surfactant protein d
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-10-20)
Helicobacter pylori is a common and persistent human pathogen of the gastric mucosa. Surfactant protein D (SP-D), a component of innate immunity, is expressed in the human gastric mucosa and is capable of aggregating H. ...
Homocysteine toxicity in escherichia coli is caused by a perturbation of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-06-20)
In Escherichia coli the sulfur-containing amino acid homocysteine (Hcy) is the last intermediate on the methionine hiosynthetic pathway. Supplementation of a glucose-based minimal medium with Hcy at concentrations greater ...
The effect of traction on compartment pressures during intramedullary nailing of tibial-shaft fractures. a prospective randomised trial
(Springer Nature, 2005-04-07)
Our aim was to study the effect of traction on the compartment pressures during intramedullary nailing of closed tibial-shaft fractures. Thirty consecutive patients with Tscherne C1 fractures were randomised into two groups. ...
Human metapneumovirus-associated respiratory tract infections in the republic of ireland during the influenza season of 2003–2004
(Elsevier BV, 2005-05-01)
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a newly identified paramyxovirus that has been associated with respiratory tract illness in children aged < 5 years, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. This study determined the ...
The unreasonable ineffectiveness of mathematics in economics
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005-11-01)
In this paper, I attempt to show that mathematical economics is unreasonably ineffective. Unreasonable, because the mathematical assumptions are economically unwarranted; ineffective because the mathematical formalisations ...
Using historical data to detect temporal changes in the abundances of intertidal species on irish shores
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2005-11-09)
An historical data set, collected in 1958 by Southward and Crisp, was used as a baseline for detecting change in the abundances of species ill the rocky intertidal of Ireland. In 2003, the abundances of each of 27 species ...
Morse theory from an algebraic viewpoint
(American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2005-08-25)
Forman's discrete Morse theory is studied from an algebraic viewpoint, and we show how this theory can be extended to chain complexes of modules over arbitrary rings. As applications we compute the homologies of a certain ...
Atmospheric bromoform at mace head, ireland: seasonality and evidence for a peatland source
(Copernicus GmbH, 2005-11-02)
In situ atmospheric observations of bromoform (CHBr3) made over a 2.5 year period at Mace Head, Ireland from May 2001- Dec 2003, including during the NAM-BLEX ( North Atlantic Marine Boundary Layer Experiment) campaign, ...
