Learning from doing: the case for combining normalisation process theory and participatory learning and action research methodology for primary healthcare implementation research
(Springer Nature, 2016-08-03)
Background: The implementation of research findings is not a straightforward matter. There are substantive and recognised gaps in the process of translating research findings into practice and policy. In order to overcome ...
The ballad of the wild Ginger Man - J.P. Donleavy and Irish Theatre censorship
(RTÉ, 2017-12-23)
JP Donleavy is best known for his novel The Ginger Man, but the problems with the stage adaptation of the novel in 1959 showed the cultural censorship at work in Ireland at that time. This paper explores the political and ...
Nano-textured self-assembled aligned collagen hydrogels promote directional neurite guidance and overcome inhibition by myelin associated glycoprotein
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01)
The development of nerve guidance conduits is constantly evolving as the need arises for therapies for spinal cord injury. In addition to providing a path for regrowing axons to reconnect with their appropriate targets, ...
An optimised patient information sheet did not significantly increase recruitment or retention in a falls prevention study: an embedded randomised recruitment trial
(Springer Nature, 2017-03-28)
Background: Randomised controlled trials are generally regarded as the 'gold standard' experimental design to determine the effectiveness of an intervention. Unfortunately, many trials either fail to recruit sufficient ...
Temporal changes in bone composition, architecture, and strength following estrogen deficiency in osteoporosis
(Springer Nature, 2012-10-18)
Using an ovariectomized (OVX) ovine model, we provide an analysis of the timing of changes in bone following estrogen deficiency. The expression of genes known to regulate osteoclastogenesis, matrix production, and ...
Genetic study reveals close link between irish and northern spanish specimens of the protected lusitanian sluggeomalacus maculosus
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-05-14)
The slug Geomalacus maculosus is a prominent member of the Lusitanian fauna. As its global distribution is restricted to western Ireland and northern Iberia, it is protected under EU legislation. Nothing is known about the ...
Latitude and lake size are important predictors of over-lake atmospheric stability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-08-08)
Turbulent fluxes across the air-water interface are integral to determining lake heat budgets, evaporation, and carbon emissions from lakes. The stability of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) influences the exchange of ...
Estrogen plus estrogen receptor antagonists alter mineral production by osteoblasts in vitro
(Thieme Publishing Group, 2011-11-28)
In early postmenopausal women, estrogen withdrawal is associated with increased bone turnover leading to bone loss and increased risk of fracture. Recent studies have suggested that the remaining bone tissue is significantly ...
General overview: european integrated project on aerosol cloud climate and air quality interactions (eucaari) – integrating aerosol research from nano to global scales
(Copernicus GmbH, 2011-12-21)
In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a ...
Do big boats tow big nets?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-08-18)
Fishing vessel capacity for trawlers is generally expressed in terms of length, tonnage, and engine power, assuming that a larger vessel has a greater fishing power. Management uses effort-control measures such as kW-day ...
