Beyond the Flâneur. Urban walking as peripatetic phenomenological pedagogy
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-02-16)This essay analyses a key motif in geographical scholarship: the most basic form of mobility achieved by an abled-bodied person engaging in acts of walking. By embedding “walking” firmly within a phenomenological tradition, ... -
Beyond the four walls: community based learning and languages
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-09-20)At a time when languages in universities are under pressure, community-based learning language courses can have many positive benefits: they can increase interest in language learning, they can foster greater engagement ... -
Beyond the green: understanding the evolutionary puzzle of plant and algal cell walls

Beyond the green: understanding the evolutionary puzzle of plant and algal cell walls
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2010-04-26)Niklas (2000) defined plants as “photosynthetic eukaryotes,” thereby including brown, red, and green macroalgae and microalgae. These groups share several features, including the presence of a complex, dynamic, and ... -
Beyond the martial façade: gender, heritage and medieval castles
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-02)Gendered interpretations are rare both within castle-studies and heritage discourses on medieval castles. Yet, castles hold potential to inform multi-vocal accounts of the medieval past and to inspire meaningful heritage ... -
Beyond the PDF [At the Event report]
(2011)'Beyond the PDF' brought together around 80 people to the University of California San Diego to discuss scholarly communication, primarily in the sciences. The main topic: How can we apply emergent technologies to improve ... -
Bf eridani: a cataclysmic variable with a massive white dwarf and an evolved secondary
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2008-05-01)We present high- and medium-resolution spectroscopic observations of the cataclysmic variable BF Eridani (BF Eri) during its low and bright states. The orbital period of this system was found to be 0.270881(3) d. The ... -
Bfmp: a method for discretizing and visualizing pyranose conformations
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-10-27)We report a new classification method for pyranose ring conformations called Best-fit, Four-Membered Plane (BFMP), which describes pyranose ring conformations based on reference planes defined by four atoms. The method is ... -
‘Bhí go maith agus ní raibh go holc’: Scéal an bhéaloidis i dtógáil an náisiúin
(Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, 2016)Folklore scholarship thrived above all in countries whose histories had been characterized by rupture rather than community and where a new hegemony was being created. There was a liberating and validating dimension to the ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters presenting GlcNAc/GalNAc as inhibitors: from plant agglutinins to human macrophage galactose-type lectin (CD301) and galectins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-02-17)Emerging insights into the functional spectrum of tissue lectins leads to identification of new targets for the custom-made design of potent inhibitors, providing a challenge for synthetic chemistry. The affinity and ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters: synthesis, structure-activity profiles as lectin inhibitors and impact of combining both valency and headgroup tailoring on selectivity.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-06-29)The emerging functional versatility of cellular glycans makes research on the design of synthetic inhibitors a timely topic. In detail, the combination of ligand (or headgroup or contact site) structure with spatial ... -
Bi-Directional work to life conflict: An investigation of work-life balance for nurses in acute public hospital settings in Ireland
(2015-01-26)The overall research question this thesis will address is; How does Work-Life Balance Policy and Practice Affect Nurses Work-Life Balance in Public Hospital Settings in Ireland? In order to do this, four sub-research ... -
Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD) EIT in stroke diagnosis
(EIT2019, 2019-07-01)BFSD-EIT can detect deviations in the inherent normal symmetry of the head due to, for example, the presence of a bleed or clot in stroke. We assess the potential of BFSD-EIT to robustly detect lesions under a series of ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-19)Objective: Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD)-EIT can detect, localize and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, we test the viability and robustness of BFSD-EIT in stroke diagnosis. Methods: A ... -
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02-20)Objective: A novel method for the imaging of static scenes using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is reported with implementation and validation using numerical and phantom models. The technique is applicable to regions ... -

Biased stock assessment when using multiple, hardly overlapping, tuning series if fishing trends vary spatially
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-06-23)Fishing-effort distributions are subject to change, for autonomous reasons and in response to management regulations. Ignoring such changes in a stock-assessment procedure may lead to a biased perception. We simulated a ... -
Biaxial loading of offshore monopiles: numerical modelling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-05-18)In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ... -
