Debridement for venous leg ulcers
(Cochrane Collaboration, 2015-09-14)Background Venous ulcers (also known as varicose or venous stasis ulcers) are a chronic, recurring and debilitating condition that affects up to 1% of the population. Best practice documents and expert opinion suggests ... -
A decade of Semantic Web research through the lenses of a mixed methods approach
(IOS Press, 2019-06-20)The identification of research topics and trends is an important scientometric activity, as it can help guide the direction of future research. In the Semantic Web area, initially topic and trend detection was primarily ... -
A decade to study deep-sea life.
(Nature Research, 2020-11-25)The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development presents an exceptional opportunity to effect positive change in ocean use. We outline what is required of the deep-sea research community to achieve ... -

Deciding on open innovation: an exploration of how firms create and capture value with open source software
(Springer Verlag, 2008-10)Open innovation is a paradigm that proposes that firms can and should use external as well as internal innovations/ideas. A popular example of open innovation has been open source software (OSS). The key issues facing ... -
Deciphering anaerobic ethanol oxidation for better recovery of renewable energy from wastewater
(NUI Galway, 2024-03-28)Anaerobic digestion is a promising technology relying on complex microbial interactions to convert organics into methane, achieving sustainable energy recovery. Ethanol is an important low-molecular intermediate during ... -
Deciphering the bipolar planetary nebula abell 14 with 3d ionization and morphological studies
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-02-23)Abell 14 is a poorly studied object despite being considered a born-again planetary nebula. We performed a detailed study of its 3D morphology and ionization structure using the SHAPE and MOCASSIN codes. We found that Abell ... -
Deciphering the geomorphic and sedimentary record of the last Irish Ice Sheet in NW Donegal, Ireland: implications for glacial dynamics and decay configurations
(2012-04-13)The last Irish Ice Sheet has a long history of investigation, but its characteristics and behaviour remain elusive. A comprehensive reconstruction of the last Irish Ice Sheet of NW Donegal is presented in this thesis. It ... -
Deciphering the role of human MSL2 and MSL1 within and beyond the MSL complex
(2018-01-14)While the components of the MSL (Male Specific Lethal) complex in Drosophila are well studied and known to play a critical role in dosage compensation, there is little known about the function of its evolutionary conserved ... -
Decision landscapes: visualizing mouse-tracking data
(The Royal Society, 2017-11-01)Computerized paradigms have enabled gathering rich data on human behaviour, including information on motor execution of a decision, e.g. by tracking mouse cursor trajectories. These trajectories can reveal novel information ... -
Decision making and information systems development - a conceptual framework
(2005)A long-standing anomaly within information systems development (ISD) exists - claims made for the benefits of methodology usage and the actuality of practice are poles apart. While both academics and practitioners have ... -
Decisions in motion: decision dynamics during intertemporal choice reflect subjective evaluation of delayed rewards
(Springer Nature, 2016-02-12)People tend to discount rewards or losses that occur in the future. Such delay discounting has been linked to many behavioral and health problems, since people choose smaller short-term gains over greater long-term gains. ... -
Decisive and Incisive - The Path of DSS
(2008)Through this study we explore the literature discussing what management information systems are what decision support systems are in an attempt to clarify the taxonomies available in the literature into a holistic discourse. ... -
Decoding the kinematic and ionisation structure of axisymmetric nebulae
(NUI Galway, 2021-08-04)The aim of the thesis was to develop a code and pipeline for generating 3D photoionisation models of axisymmetric nebulae to better understand their ob- served structure and composition. This was achieved through a new ... -
Decomposing Discussion Forums using User Roles
(http://www.websci10.org, 2010)Discussion forums are a central part of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 infrastructures. The health and sustainability of forums is dependent on the information exchange behaviour of its members. Such behaviour needs to be ... -
Decomposition Methods in Analyzing Intra-regional and Inter-regional Income Distribution
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2006)In this paper we propose to study the world income distribution in the framework of Richard Stone-Richard Goodwin decomposition method [Goodwin, EJ 1949 and JPKE 1980, Stone¿s foreword to Pyatt-Roe, 1977]. The objective ... -
Decomposition studies of isopropanol in a variable pressure flow reactor
(Oldenbourg Verlag, 2015-04-01)Alternatives to traditional petroleum derived transportation fuels, particularly alcohols, have been investigated increasingly over the last 5 years. Isopropanol has received little attention despite bridging the gap between ...
