Adaptive task assignment in spatial crowdsourcing
(2016-08)Spatial crowdsourcing has emerged as a new paradigm for solving difficult problems in the physical world. It engages a large number of human workers in scenarios such as crisis management and smart cities. The utility of ... -
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(Wiley, 2010-04-21)The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ... -
Addressing challenges and opportunities of the European seafood sector under a circular economy framework
(Elsevier, 2020-02-11)The European seafood and aquaculture sectors are facing important challenges in terms of environmental threats (climate change, marine debris, resources depletion), social development (worker rights, consumer's awareness) ... -
Addressing fidelity within complex health behaviour change interventions: A protocol of a scoping review of intervention fidelity frameworks and models
(Health Research Board, 2018-12-11)Intervention fidelity is crucial to facilitate accurate interpretation of research outcomes, but has been inadequately addressed within complex health behaviour change interventions. Recent research has highlighted a need ... -
Addressing human error within the Irish healthcare system.
(Irish Medical Organisation, 2011-02)Research shows that human error, as opposed to mechanical failure, is the major causal factor of industrial and transportation accidents. The same is true in healthcare. This paper briefly discusses five human error reduction ... -
Addressing the determinants of positive mental health: concepts, evidence and practice
(2009)Positive mental health is recognised as a key resource for population well-being and the social and economic prosperity of society. This paper provides an overview of current concepts of positive mental health and its ... -

(SAGE Publications, 2023-01-31)In 2020, schools worldwide closed due to the COVID_19 pandemic. Almost one million young people and children were impacted in Ireland, with those from ‘marginalised’ backgrounds being especially vulnerable due to pre-existing ... -
Adeno-associated virus serotype 2 induces cell-mediated immune responses directed against multiple epitopes of the capsid protein vp1
(Microbiology Society, 2009-07-29)Adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV-2) has been developed as a gene therapy vector. Antibody and cell-mediated immune responses to AAV-2 or AAV-2-transfected cells may confound the therapeutic use of such vectors in ... -
Adenoviral transduction of mesenchymal stem cells: in vitro responses and in vivo immune responses after cell transplantation
(2012)Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic cells with multi-lineage potential which makes them attractive targets for regenerative medicine applications. However, to date, therapeutic success of MSC-therapy ... -
