The development and validation of a measure assessing gender role conflict in male adolescents
(2014-01-08)The purpose of these studies was to develop a psychometrically sound questionnaire that addresses outstanding empirical issues in adolescent gender role conflict and, in so doing, enhance understanding of the negative ... -
Development and validation of lost days of labor productivity scale to evaluate the business cost of intimate partner violence
(SAGE Publications, 2020-08-01)Developing scientific evidence showing the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on companies' productivity is an effective way to involve them in IPV prevention. However, there are no suitable and brief self-report ... -
Development of 3D breast cancer model to study extracellular vesicle crosstalk
(NUI Galway, 2024-01-31)3D model systems are crucial in establishing novel therapeutics and understanding cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising carriers of therapeutic cargo for tumor-targeted ... -
Development of a 5-component gasoline surrogate model using recent advancements in the detailed H2/O2/CO/C1-C3 mechanism for decoupling methodology
(Elsevier, 2020-08-17)In the present work, a 5-component gasoline surrogate chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed and validated. The first novelty of this mechanism is that a recently advanced H2/O2/CO/C1 detailed sub-mechanism is ... -
Development of a Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for Small Hydrocarbons
(2014-01-07)A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed to describe the oxidation of small hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon species. In order to understand the oxidation of large hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon ... -
Development of a complex intervention to promote appropriate prescribing and medication intensification in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus in irish general practice
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-16)Background: Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be seen as failure to meet recommended targets for management of key risk factors including glycaemic control, blood pressure and lipids. Poor control of ... -
The Development of a Computational Test-Bed to Assess Coronary Stent Implantation
(2013-03-15)The implantation behaviour of coronary stents is of great interest to clinicians and engineers alike as in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a critical issue with the community. ISR is hypothesized to occur for ... -
Development of a cucumis sativus tilling platform for forward and reverse genetics
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-05-16)Background: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family that includes more than 800 species. The cucumber genome has been recently sequenced and annotated. Transcriptomics and genome sequencing of many ... -
Development of a data driven FDD approach for building water networks: Water distribution system performance assessment rules
(Elsevier, 2020-09-10)While fault detection and diagnosis is a popular tool in the process industry, its application in building water distribution systems is however still largely absent. In this study, a new set of Water Distribution System ... -
The development of a digital intervention to promote timely presentation of breast cancer symptoms to a healthcare professional
(NUI Galway, 2019-10-31)Breast cancer is the primary cause of death among women globally and in Ireland, mortality rates from breast cancer are the third highest in Europe. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is linked to more favourable outcomes ... -
Development of a dual-hit model of Parkinson's disease by combining environmental and genetic risk factors
(2012-06-06)Even though half a century has passed since the discovery of the efficacy of the dopamine precursor, levodopa, it remains the most effective therapy for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease to this day, despite its ... -
Development of a feasible implementation fidelity protocol within a complex physical therapy-led self-management intervention
(Oxford University Press, 2016-08-01)Implementation fidelity is poorly addressed within physical therapy interventions, which may be due to limited research on how to develop and implement an implementation fidelity protocol. The purpose of this study was ... -
