Aspects of modeling and application of survival-type data
(NUI Galway, 2018-02)Survival analysis is collection of methods for analyzing data where the outcome of interest is the time to an event and some of the observations are censored. Survival data can arise naturally from studies on, machines' ... -
ASPiH Conference 2019 keynote paper. Quality improvement through simulation: a missed opportunity?
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-03-04)As the use of simulation has become more established in the delivery of healthcare education and training, there has been a corresponding increase in healthcare simulation research. Simulation-based research can be divided ... -
Assembly of protein-based hollow spheres encapsulating a therapeutic factor
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-09-18)Neurotrophins, as important regulators of neural development, function, and survival, have a therapeutic potential to repair damaged neurons. However, a controlled delivery of therapeutic molecules to injured tissue remains ... -

Assessing aerodynamic performance in cycling using computational fluid dynamics
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)Aerodynamic resistance is one of the leading challenges to overcome in elite cycling. To optimize cycling aerodynamics, estimates must first be made by means of wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics or track ... -
Assessing and exploiting functional diversity in germplasm pools to enhance abiotic stress adaptation and yield in cereals and food legumes
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-08-29)There is a need to accelerate crop improvement by introducing alleles conferring host plant resistance, abiotic stress adaptation, and high yield potential. Elite cultivars, landraces and wild relatives harbor useful genetic ... -
Assessing and training analogical reasoning in young children using relational frame theory
(NUI Galway, 2021-09-23)Analogical responding is pervasive in everyday language and cognition and is a key component in learning. However, despite this, there is as yet relatively little behavioural research on 1) the age of emergence and 2) ... -
Assessing and training early emergent derived relational responding in children with autism
(2015-09-30)Many children with autism fail to develop generative language despite intensive teaching; their language can be described as “rote”. Research in the area of derived stimulus relations, in particular Relational Frame Theory ... -
Assessing and training temporal relational responding in children
(NUI Galway, 2023-12-19)Time is a fundamentally important dimension of human experience and responding adaptively in terms of this dimension is critical to human personal and societal functioning. However, there is an important distinction ... -
Assessing and training young children in same and different relations using the relational evaluation procedure (rep)
(Springer Nature, 2016-07-27)Previous research suggests the relational evaluation procedure (REP) is a useful means by which to assess and train relational responding. Most work so far has been with adults; however, given the potential utility of the ... -
Assessing capital investment on energy improvement projects from a global energy management perspective: a tri-generation case study
(NUI Galway, 2016)For multi-national companies, assessment of energy improvement projects across a global site-base requires a thorough understanding of the driving factors affecting energy consumption on each site. Traditionally, assessment ... -
