Establishment of a paediatric age-related reference interval for the measurement of urinary total fractionated metanephrines
(SAGE Publications, 2010-12-01)Introduction: Normetanephrine and metanephrine are intermediate metabolites of noradrenaline and adrenaline metabolism. To assess whether normetanephrine and metanephrine analysis may aid in the diagnosis of Neuroblastoma, ... -
Establishment of the european meningococcal strain collection genome library (emsc-gl) for the 2011 to 2012 epidemiological year
(European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC), 2018-05-17)Invasive meningococcal disease surveillance in Europe combines isolate characterisation and epidemiological data to support public health intervention. A representative European Meningococcal Strain Collection (EMSC) of ... -
Estimating average attributable fractions with confidence intervals for cohort and case control studies
(SAGE Publications, 2016-06-24)Chronic diseases tend to depend on a large number of risk factors, both environmental and genetic. Average attributable fractions were introduced by Eide and Gefeller as a way of partitioning overall disease burden into ... -
Estimating biomass, fishing mortality, and "total allowable discards" for surveyed non-target fish
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-08-27)Demersal fisheries targeting a few high-value species often catch and discard other "non-target" species. It is difficult to quantify the impact of this incidental mortality when population biomass of a ... -
Estimating Catchment Area Population Indicators Using Network Analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-11)This paper proposes an approach to estimating catchment area population indicators (CAPIs) using geographic information system (GIS)-based network analysis. Specifically, it considers how 'GeoDirectory', a geodatabase ... -
Estimating Linkages between Redfish and Cold Water Coral on the Norwegian Coast
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2009-10)The importance of essential fish habitat in supporting commercial fisheries has received increasing attention in recent years. Bottom trawling is known to cause particularly destructive damage to habitat which is effectively ... -
Estimating probability distributions by observing betting practices
(Informa UK Limited, 2007-12-27)A bookmaker takes bets on a two-horse race, attempting to minimize expected loss over all possible outcomes of the race. Profits are controlled by manipulation of customer betting behavior; in order to do this, we need ... -
Estimating relationships between air mass origin and chemical composition
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001-03-01)Observations of a chemical at a point in the atmosphere typically show sudden transitions between episodes of high and low concentration. Often these are associated with a rapid change in the origin of air arriving at the ... -
Estimating seabed pressure from demersal trawls, seines, and dredges based on gear design and dimensions
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-06-09)This study assesses the seabed pressure of towed fishing gears and models the physical impact (area and depth of seabed penetration) from trip-based information of vessel size, gear type, and catch. Traditionally fishing ... -
Estimating the cost of type 1 diabetes in Ireland
(Wiley, 2021-12-27)Background Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, which given its existing and projected prevalence, is likely to pose a significant economic burden, both in terms of directs costs to the healthcare system and indirect ... -
