Effect of rainfall interval on runoff losses of biosolids and meat and bone meal when applied to a grassland soil
(Springer, 2014)This study assessed runoff losses following laboratory rainfall simulation on a grassland soil at two time intervals (48 and 216 h) after a single application of biosolids and meat and bone meal (MBM). The treatments were: ... -
The effect of remodelling and contractility of the actin cytoskeleton on the shear resistance of single cells: a computational and experimental investigation
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2012-07-18)The biomechanisms that govern the response of chondrocytes to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. In this study, a series of in vitro tests are performed, in which single chondrocytes are subjected to shear deformation ... -
Effect of sawdust addition on composting of separated raw and anaerobically digested pig manure
(Elsevier, 2012-06)Manures need the addition of carbon-rich bulking agents to conserve N during composting, which increases the cost of the composting process. The recommended proportion of manure / sawdust, based on a carbon (C): nitrogen ... -

Effect of social variation on the Irish diet.
(Cambridge University Press, 2002)Both jurisdictions of Ireland have high rates of chronic degenerative diseases, particularly of the cardiovascular system, and Irish migrants have worse health profiles, often lasting at least two generations. The influence ... -
The Effect of Stimulus Salience on Over-selectivity
(Springer, 2009)The influence of stimulus salience on over-selective responding was investigated in the context of a comparator theory of over-selectivity. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were presented with two cards, each displaying ... -
Effect of substrate geometry on liquid-crystal-mediated nanocylinder-substrate interactions
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)Using classical density functional theory, the liquid crystal (LC)-mediated interaction between a cylindrical nanoparticle and a structured substrate is studied. The surface is structured by cutting a rectangular groove ... -
The effect of substrate stiffness, thickness, and cross-linking density on osteogenic cell behavior
(Biophysical Society, 2015-04-07)Osteogenic cells respond to mechanical changes in their environment by altering their spread area, morphology, and gene expression profile. In particular, the bulk modulus of the substrate, as well as its microstructure ... -
Effect of tailored practice and patient care plans on secondary prevention of heart disease in general practice: cluster randomised controlled trial.
(2009)Objective To test the effectiveness of a complex intervention designed, within a theoretical framework, to improve outcomes for patients with coronary heart disease. Design Cluster randomised controlled multicentre trial. ... -
Effective design of total worker health interventions for lone workers: examples and implications for the Irish context
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2014)Workplace safety does not exist in a vacuum. Individuals come to work with a variety of advantages and disadvantages derived from their off-work activities. Extra-workplace behaviors and attitudes are likely to have greater ... -
Effective versus Statutory Taxation: Measuring Effective Tax Administration in Transition Economies
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2000)Wide differences between effective or realised average tax rates and tax yields that would result if statutory tax rates were strictly applied indicate tax compliance and collection problems. Due to the greater politicisation ... -
Effectiveness of a structured education reminiscence-based programme for staff on the quality of life of residents with dementia in long-stay units: A study protocol for a cluster randomised trial.
(BioMed Central, 2011-02)Background: Current projections indicate that there will be a significant increase in the number of people with dementia in Ireland, from approximately 40,000 at present to 100,000 by 2036. Psychosocial interventions, such ... -
The effectiveness of a structured educational reminiscence-based programme for staff in long-stay units on the quality of life of residents with dementia.
(2013-10-31)Background There is a growing appreciation of the potential use of psychosocial interventions in maintaining or improving the quality of life of people with dementia residing in long-stay care settings. Reminiscence is a ... -
The Effectiveness of Decision Support Systems on Mobile Devices
(2008-11-26)This paper reports the results of an experiment as part of a study assessing the impact of decision aid use on performance-based decision-making. We examine the effect of a single- user decision support mechanism for ... -
Effects and mechanisms of action of sildenafil citrate in human chorionic arteries
(2009)Objectives Sildenafil citrate, a specific phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, is increasingly used for pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy. Sildenafil is also emerging as a potential candidate for the treatment of intra-uterine ... -
The effects of a goal setting intervention on productivity and persistence in an analogue work task
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02-27)The authors of this study sought to quantify the beneficial effect of goal setting on work performance, and to characterize the persistence or deterioration of goal-directed behavior over time. Twenty-six participants ... -
Effects of Acute Sleep Restriction on Laboratory and Ambulatory Physiological Reactivity in Young Adults
(2013-05-31)Introduction. Reduced sleep duration has been associated with adverse health outcomes, in particular negative cardiovascular health. The mechanisms by which sleep loss may influence cardiovascular health are unclear but ... -
