Apples to apples: can differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and outcomes between sweden and ireland be explained by core utstein variables?
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-03)Background: Variation in reported incidence and outcome based on aggregated data is a persistent feature of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) epidemiology. Objective: To investigate the extent to which patient-level ... -
Applicability of condensation particle counters to measure atmospheric clusters
(Copernicus GmbH, 2008-07-25)This study presents an evaluation of a pulse height condensation particle counter (PH-CPC) and an expansion condensation particle counter (E-CPC) in terms of measuring ambient and laboratory-generated molecular and ion ... -
Applicability of FTIR-ATR method to measure carbonyls in blood plasma after physical and mental stress
(Hindawi, 2019-03-26)Introduction. Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses. It results in the oxidation of all cellular elements and, to a large extent, proteins, ... -
The application of a conceptual model of school-based implementation to the Relationships and Sexuality Education programme at Irish post-primary level
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-07)Purpose – The purpose of this study was to explore the practice of Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) in-service training and subsequent RSE delivery in schools. This involved examining the implementation process ... -
Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
(Elsevier, 2019-07-10)Deep-retrofit planning for existing buildings demands high accuracy in energy modelling prediction that minimises the gap between actual and simulated scenarios. A large set of interacting variables and uncertainties in ... -
The application of Article 107(3)(b)TFEU in systemic banking crises: The need for a new State Aid Crisis Framework for the European Banking Sector in light of the European Commission’s interpretation of the “serious disturbance” exemption as a response to the 2008 financial crisis.
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-27)The 2008 financial crisis illustrated the problems that arise when EU State aid rules are relaxed and Member States are allowed to prop up ailing banking sectors. Member States in effect become subject to a constant drain ... -
