An Analysis of Model-Driven Web Engineering Methodologies
(2012)In the late 1990's there was substantial activity within the 'Web engineering' research community and a multitude of new Web approaches were proposed. However, numerous studies have revealed major gaps in these approaches, ... -
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ... -
Analysis of pulsed vs. continuous power delivery from an electromagnetic generator
(IOP Publishing, 2013-12-04)The purpose of this work is to present alternative power conversion techniques for an energy harvester optimized to the power requirements of an activity monitoring device. Many energy harvesters designed to use human ... -
Analysis of putative somatic mutations in 200,000 human exomes
(NUI Galway, 2023-09-19)Somatic mutations accumulate throughout life and contribute significantly to disease risk. While research into somatic mutation is well established in cancer, it is only in recent years that investigations into the ... -
Analysis of reactive astrocytes and NG2 proteoglycan in ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury
(Elsevier, 2018-09-26)Background: The use of animals to model spinal cord injury (SCI) requires extensive post-operative care and can be expensive, which makes an altemative model extremely attractive. The use ofex vivo slice cultures is an ... -
Analysis of risk factors and early predictors of challenging behavior for children with autism spectrum disorder
(Elsevier, 2011-02-12)The current study evaluated risk factors for the occurrence, frequency and severity of challenging behavior among a sample of individuals with a diagnosis of autism, under the age of eighteen, in Ireland. Age, gender, hours ... -
Analysis of risk factors and early predictors of challenging behavior for children with autism spectrum disorder
(Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01) -
Analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mec1 and Rad9 functions in the DNA Damage Response
(2012-10-01)The maintenance of genome integrity is critical for cell proliferation and survival of all organisms. Central to the DNA Damage Response are signal-transduction pathways, termed DNA damage checkpoints, conserved from ... -
Analysis of scc1-deficient cells defines a key metaphase role of vertebrate cohesin in linking sister kinetochores
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-02-01)Cleavage of the cohesin subunit Scc1p/Mcd1p/Rad21 permits sister chromatid separation and is considered to trigger anaphase onset. It has also been suggested that the cohesin complex is essential for chromosome condensation ... -
Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2018-06-21)Disorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing of 25 brain disorders from genome-wide ... -
Analysis of shear-induced platelet aggregation and breakup
(Springer, 2015-07-31)To better understand the mechanisms leading to the formation of thrombi of hazardous sizes in the bulk of the blood, we have developed a kinetic model of shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). In our model, shear rate ... -
Analysis of short-term metabolic alterations in arabidopsis following changes in the prevailing environmental conditions
(Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01)Although a considerable increase in our knowledge concerning the importance of metabolic adjustments to unfavorable growth conditions has been recently provided, relatively little is known about the adjustments which occur ... -
An analysis of Significant Event Notifications to inform Tusla's alternative care policy and practice developments
(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, National University of Ireland Galway, 2019-06)This report comprises an analysis of Significant Event Notifications to inform alternative care policy and practice. -
Analysis of stress-induced hepatic gene expression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) selected for high- and low-responsiveness to stress
(Elsevier, 2011-12)The production and welfare of intensively reared fish would be improved by reducing stress responsiveness. One approach to achieving this goal is selective breeding utilising stress-responsive genes as direct genetic markers ... -
An analysis of the 2016 American presidential nominees' tweets: A magical realism perspective
(NUI Galway, 2017)Twitter is the latest social networking tool said to be reshaping political presidential campaigns. In order to maximize the influence of their messages to voters, presidential nominees often use various techniques to ... -
Analysis of the behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder slabs during construction using laboratory and field testing
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-31)One of the emerging technologies in construction is the development of ‘smart structures’ which have sensors which will allow more efficient, resilient and sustainable structures to be designed and constructed. This research ... -
Analysis of the DNA damage response in model systems
(2014-07-24)The integrity of our DNA is constantly threatened by endogenous and exogenous sources of damage. In the absence of sufficient repair mechanisms, this damage can lead to mutations, potentially resulting in the development ... -
Analysis of the Effects of Unexpected Outliers in the Classification of Spectroscopy Data
(2009)Multi-class classification algorithms are very widely used, but we argue that they are not always ideal from a theoretical perspective, because they assume all classes are characterised by the data, whereas in many ... -
An analysis of the health risks associated with international travel
(2015-01-28)This thesis, submitted for the award of a doctoral degree in Medicine, represents an attempt to collate all of my original research projects in travel medicine completed at NUI Galway. Chapter 1 presents four projects ... -
