Evaluation of acridine in Nafion as a fluorescence-lifetime-based pH sensor
(2003)We report a novel fluorescence-lifetime-based pH sensing method that utilizes acridine incorporated into Nation (AcNaf) as the fluorescent indicator. The AcNaf sensor is excited using a 380 nm light emitting diode (LED) ... -
Evaluation of amendments to control phosphorus losses in runoff from dairy soiled water.
(Springer, 2011-12-01)Amendments with the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural grassland arising from the land application of dairy-soiled water (DSW) were investigated. Optimal application rates were studied, and associated ... -
The Evaluation of Argument Mapping as a Learning Tool
(2011-10-07)Argument mapping (AM) is a method of visually diagramming arguments using a 'box and arrow' format with the aim of simplifying the reading of an argument structure and facilitating the assimilation of core statements and ... -
An evaluation of argument mapping as a method of enhancing critical thinking performance in e-learning environments.
(2012)The current research examined the effects of a critical thinking (CT) e-learning course taught through argument mapping (AM) on measures of CT ability. Seventy-four undergraduate psychology students were allocated to either ... -
Evaluation Of Biogas Production From Anaerobic Digestion Of Pig Manure And Grass Silage
(2012-10-19)The research project evaluated biogas production from anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure (PM) and grass silage (GS) in laboratory- and pilot- scale studies. In addition, improvement of the biogas yield from GS via ... -
Evaluation of cartilage repair by mesenchymal stem cells seeded on a PEOT/PBT scaffold in an osteochondral defect
(Springer Verlag, 2015-01-15)The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded polyethylene-oxide-terephthalate/polybutylene-terephthalate (PEOT/PBT) scaffold for cartilage tissue repair in an ... -
Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry
(Wiley, 2011)Land application of dairy slurry can result in incidental losses of phosphorus (P) to runoff in addition to increased loss of P from soil as a result of a buildup in soil test P (STP). An agitator test was used to identify ... -
Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry.
(Soil Use and Management, 2011-06-01)The aim of this paper is to identify chemicals with the potential to reduce P losses from agricultural grassland arising from the land application of dairy cattle slurry. It also aims to identify optimal application rates ... -
Evaluation of Combined Visible/NIR Camera for Iris Authentication on smartphones
(IEEE, 2015)Iris biometrics provide a mature and robust method of authentication, but are typically applied in a controlled environment and under constrained acquisition conditions. In this paper, the adaption of iris biometrics for ... -
An evaluation of MyAction, a community-based lifestyle and medical risk factor modification programme, in women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-02)Universal screening using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria has identified a prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of 12.4% in women living in Ireland. Women ... -
Evaluation of Semantic and Social Technologies for Digital Libraries
(2008)Libraries are the tools we use to learn and to answer our questions. The quality of our work depends, among others, on the quality of the tools we use. Recently, the semantic web and social networking technologies are ... -
An evaluation of smartphone driver support systems for young drivers - acceptance, efficacy, and driver distraction
(2016-10-21)Background: Smartphone Driver Support Systems (SDSSs) are novel smartphone applications designed to monitor, give feedback on, and improve driving behaviours. Young drivers (aged 18-24) are a priority market for SDSS ... -
Evaluation of Technology Term Recognition with Random Indexing
(2014)In this paper, we propose a method that combines the principles of automatic term recognition and the distributional hypothesis to identify technology terms from a corpus of scientific publications. We employ the ... -
An evaluation of the applicability of microarrays for monitoring toxic algae in irish coastal waters
(2014-03-14)Monitoring of toxic phytoplankton is traditionally carried out by light and electron microscopy. However, the use of molecular methods for identification and quantification are now becoming more prevalent. Existing ... -
