Evaluation of a novel PCR based diagnostic assay for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens
(ACM, 1996-06-18)We report on a PCR-based assay we have developed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples. One hundred sputum specimens, which included 34 culture-positive and 66 culture-negative specimens, were ... -
Evaluation of a novel real-time PCR test based on the ssrA gene for the identification of group B streptococci in vaginal swabs.
(2009)Despite the implementation of prevention guidelines, early-onset group B streptococci (GBS) disease remains a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Strategies to identify women who are at risk of transmitting ... -
Evaluation of a novel real-time pcr test based on the ssragene for the identification of group b streptococci in vaginal swabs
(Springer Nature, 2009-09-04)Background: Despite the implementation of prevention guidelines, early-onset group B streptococci (GBS) disease remains a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Strategies to identify women who are at risk ... -
Evaluation of a pcr/dna probe colorimetric membrane assay for identification of campylobacter spp. in human stool specimens
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001-11-01)DNA was extracted from 50 human stool specimens using the QIAamp DNA stool minikit. PCR amplification was followed by post-PCR hybridization to DNA probes specific for the Campylobacter genus, Campylobacter jejuni, and ... -
Evaluation of a three-dimensional chemical transport model (pmcamx) in the european domain during the eucaari may 2008 campaign
(Copernicus GmbH, 2011-10-18)PMCAMx-2008, a detailed three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM), was applied to Europe to simulate the mass concentration and chemical composition of particulate matter (PM) during May 2008. The model includes a ... -
Evaluation of a workplace cardiovascular health promotion programme in the Republic of Ireland
(Oxford Journals, 2002-02)This paper describes a comprehensive evaluation of the organizational impact of a workplace health promotion programme, in the context of a framework devised by Nutbeam in 1998. The Happy Heart at Work programme, sponsored ... -

Evaluation of acridine in Nafion as a fluorescence-lifetime-based pH sensor
(2003)We report a novel fluorescence-lifetime-based pH sensing method that utilizes acridine incorporated into Nation (AcNaf) as the fluorescent indicator. The AcNaf sensor is excited using a 380 nm light emitting diode (LED) ... -
Evaluation of amendments to control phosphorus losses in runoff from dairy soiled water.
(Springer, 2011-12-01)Amendments with the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural grassland arising from the land application of dairy-soiled water (DSW) were investigated. Optimal application rates were studied, and associated ... -

Evaluation of amendments to control phosphorus losses in runoff from pig slurry applications to land
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-24)If spread in excess of crop requirements, incidental phosphorus (P) losses from agriculture can lead to eutrophication of receiving waters. The use of amendments in targeted areas may help reduce the possibility of surface ... -
Evaluation of an internally controlled multiplex tth endonuclease cleavage loop-meditated isothermal amplification (tec-lamp) assay for the detection of bacterial meningitis pathogens
(MDPI AG, 2018-02-09)Bacterial meningitis infection is a leading global health concern for which rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) offers an ... -
Evaluation of antibiotic resistant enterobacterales in the Irish environment
(NUI Galway, 2022-10-03)Antibiotic resistance represents a significant public health challenge of global magnitude. In particular, infections caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) ... -
The Evaluation of Argument Mapping as a Learning Tool
(2011-10-07)Argument mapping (AM) is a method of visually diagramming arguments using a 'box and arrow' format with the aim of simplifying the reading of an argument structure and facilitating the assimilation of core statements and ... -
An evaluation of argument mapping as a method of enhancing critical thinking performance in e-learning environments.
(2012)The current research examined the effects of a critical thinking (CT) e-learning course taught through argument mapping (AM) on measures of CT ability. Seventy-four undergraduate psychology students were allocated to either ... -
Evaluation Of Biogas Production From Anaerobic Digestion Of Pig Manure And Grass Silage
(2012-10-19)The research project evaluated biogas production from anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure (PM) and grass silage (GS) in laboratory- and pilot- scale studies. In addition, improvement of the biogas yield from GS via ... -
