(NUI Galway, 2024-03-11)Facial analysis tasks are of pivotal importance in social interaction, thus gaining extensive attention among the scientific community. With the increased popularity of deep learning models and the availability of ... -
Control in a time of conflict: Women’s petitions in Ireland from 1541 to 1584
(NUI Galway, 2024-04-15)This dissertation provides the first comprehensive and detailed study of Anglophone women’s petition letter-writing in Tudor Ireland, from 1541-1583. This project provides both microhistories and quantitative rhetorical ... -
Control in E-Government Projects - An Exploratory Study
(2010)This study highlights a distinct lack of research on control in e-Government projects and provides a framework using control theory to address this. The paper draws on four exploratory case studies, highlighting a number ... -
The control of centrosome duplication after genotoxic stress
(2011-12-16)The centrosome is the major microtubule organising center in animal cells. Following DNA damage, centrosome amplification can occur, which in turn can result in the formation of multipolar mitotic cells, and cell death. ... -
Control of electrochemical and ferryloxy formation kinetics of cyt p450s in polyion films by heme iron spin state and secondary structure
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-11-11)Voltammetry of cytochrome P450 (cyt P450) enzymes in ultrathin films with polyions was related for the first time to electronic and secondary structure. Heterogeneous electron transfer (hET) rate constants for reduction ... -
Control of polymorphism, crystal size and habit in pharmaceuticals
(NUI Galway, 2019-09)Crystallization is widely used as a purification method of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, APIs. During the process a crystalline compound is generally obtained, and it can display general properties and characteristics ... -
Control of solar sail periodic orbits in the elliptic three-body problem

Control of tnf-induced dendritic cell maturation by hybrid-type n-glycans
(The American Association of Immunologists, 2011-03-21)The activity of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I is required for the conversion of high-mannose to hybrid-type (ConA reactive) and complex-type N-glycans (Phaseolus vulgaris-leukoagglutinin [PHA-L] reactive) during posttranslational ... -
Control of transfer and weak closure in fusion systems
(2010)We show that K¿ and K¿ control transfer in every fusion system on a finite p-group when p ¿ 5, and that they control weak closure of elements in every fusion system on a finite p-group when p ¿ 3. This generalizes resultsof ... -
Controllability of nonlinear delay oscillating systems
(University of Szeged, 2017-01-01)In this paper, we study the controllability of a system governed by second order delay differential equations. We introduce a delay Gramian matrix involving the delayed matrix sine, which is used to establish sufficient ... -
