Spiking neural networks for breast cancer classification in a dielectrically heterogeneous breast
(EMW Publishing, 2011-01-01)The considerable overlap in the dielectric properties of benign and malignant tissue at microwave frequencies means that breast tumour classification using traditional UWB Radar imaging algorithms could be very problematic. ... -
Spin-orbit alignment in the very low mass binary regime
(EDP Sciences, 2013-06-01)Studies of solar-type binaries have found coplanarity between the equatorial and orbital planes of systems with < 40 AU separation. By comparison, the alignment of the equatorial and orbital axes in the substellar ... -
Spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in focusing, scattering, and imaging systems
(The Optical Society, 2011-12-07)We present a general theory of spin-to-orbital angular momentum (AM) conversion of light in focusing, scattering, and imaging optical systems. Our theory employs universal geometric transformations of non-paraxial optical ... -
Spinal cord injury in vitro: Modelling axon growth inhibition
(Elsevier, 2010-06)Over the past three decades, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms underlying regenerative failure after spinal cord injury and in devising therapeutic approaches to promote functional nerve regeneration. ... -
Spinal metastatic disease: a review of the role of the multidisciplinary team
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-05-01)Historically, a simple approach centered on palliation was applicable to the majority of patients with metastatic spinal disease. With advances in diagnosis and treatment, a more complicated algorithm has devolved requiring ... -
Spiralling vulnerabilities: Understanding the cervical screening behaviours of women over 50 living in the west of Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-08)In Ireland, 1 in 4 women over 50 do not attend cervical screening (CervicalCheck Report, 2017a). The aim in this dissertation is to understand the cervical screening behaviours of women over 50. Located within the interpretive ... -
A spiritual inheritance? Family spirit, virtue and vocation in the Vies of the Lamoignon dévots
(Oxford University Press, 2020-08-26)Members of the Parisian robe Lamoignon family were among the most prominent dévots of the French Catholic Reformation. This article explores the family’s religious engagement through six substantial biographies or vies ... -
Split luciferase reporters of apoptosome formation: a bio-tool to identify new drug-like molecules
(NUI Galway, 2019-12-03)Formation of apoptosome, a key multiprotein complex in mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, is an essential step during normal development and deregulation of this event is associated with pathological conditions. The apoptosome ... -
Split phosphorus fertiliser applications as a strategy to reduce incidental phosphorus losses in surface runoff
(Elsevier, 2019-04-24)Organic soils have low sorption capacities for phosphorus (P), and may pose a risk of P loss to water if P applications to these soils coincide with runoff events. Little is known about the magnitude of exports of P in ... -
Spontaneous solid-state cocrystallization of caffeine and urea
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-09)The cocrystallization of caffeine and urea was monitored and analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The caffeine-urea ... -
Sport and Christianity in American cinema ‘The beloved grew fat and kicked’ (Deuteronomy 32:15)
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2017-10-21)Christianity has been an enduring feature of films featuring sports or sporting figures since the early twentieth century, such that religious icons, references and rituals have now become naturalised as familiar and ... -

Sport, representation, and the commemoration of the 1916 Rising: a new Ireland rises?
(European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies (EFACIS), the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies (RIISS) in Aberdeen, and the University of Leuven, 2018-10-24)Commemoration is part of what defines nations and their configurations; the considerable investment of the Irish state (and various sporting organisations) during 2016 in 1916 commemorations speaks to the importance of ... -
SPORTAL: Profiling the Content of Public SPARQL Endpoints
(IGI Global, 2016)Access to hundreds of knowledge bases has been made available on the Web through public SPARQL endpoints. Unfortunately, few endpoints publish descriptions of their content (e.g., using VoID). It is thus unclear how agents ... -
SPORTAL: Searching for Public SPARQL Endpoints
(NUI Galway, 2016-10)There are hundreds of SPARQL endpoints on the Web, but finding an endpoint relevant to a client s needs is difficult: each endpoint acts like a black box, often without a description of its content. Herein we briefly ...
