Performance analysis of cone detection algorithms
(Optical Society of America, 2015-04-01)Many algorithms have been proposed to help clinicians evaluate cone density and spacing, as these may be related to the onset of retinal diseases. However, there has been no rigorous comparison of the performance of these ... -
Performance Monitoring of a Mammalian Cell Based Bioprocess using Raman spectroscopy.
(2013)Being able to predict the final product yield at all stages in long-running, industrial, mammalian cell culture processes is vital for both operational efficiency, process consistency, and the implementation of Quality by ... -
The performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing programmes relevant to aquaculture and aquaculture products
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 2019)Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria isolated from aquatic animals and their environments may be performed either as part of a monitoring or surveillance programme or to provide guidance for clinical treatments ... -
Performance review of multiple reference versus time domain optical coherence tomography
(IEEE, 2018-04-19)We present a detailed characterization of noise sources in multiple reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) compared to time-domain OCT (TD-OCT). The noise characteristics were modeled based on the TD-OCT noise ... -
Perspectives on allele-specific expression
(Annual Reviews, 2021-04-28)Diploidy has profound implications for population genetics and susceptibility to genetic diseases. Although two copies are present for most genes in the human genome, they are not necessarily both active or active at the ... -
Phase behaviour of self-assembled monolayers controlled by tuning physisorbed and chemisorbed states: A lattice-model view
(American Institute of Physics, 2016-04-07)The self-assembly of molecules on surfaces into 2D structures is important for the bottom-up fabrication of functional nanomaterials, and the self-assembledstructure depends on the interplay between molecule-molecule ... -
Phasing-out of legacy brominated flame retardants: The UNEP Stockholm Convention and other legislative action worldwide
(Elsevier, 2020-08-18)Due to their toxicity and persistence, several families of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) have been listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Stockholm Convention, a multilateral treaty overseen by the ... -
Phosphate diester cleavage, DNA interaction and cytotoxic Activity of a bimetallic bis(1,4,7-triazacyclononane) zinc complex
(Wiley, 2014-06-24)The dinuclear zinc complex [Zn-2{bcmp(-H)}(mu-Cl)](ClO4)(2)center dot H2O {bcmp = 2,6-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-ylmethyl)-4-methylphenol} has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The DNA binding affinity was ... -
A phosphate-targeted dinuclear Cu(II) complex combining major groove binding and oxidative DNA cleavage
(Oxford University Press, 2018-09-17)Free radical generation is an inevitable consequence of aerobic existence and is implicated in a wide variety of pathological conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, ageing and neurodegenerative disorder. Free ... -
Piezoacoustic wave spectra using improved surface impedance matrix: Application to high impedance-contrast layered plates
(2008)Starting from the general modal solutions for a homogeneous layer of arbitrary material and crystalline symmetry, a matrix formalism is developed to establish the semianalytical expressions of the surface impedance matrices ... -
Piezoelectric Love waves on rotated Y-cut mm2 substrates
(IEEE, 2006-11)Consider a layer consisting of a m3m dielectric crystal, with faces cut parallel to a symmetry plane. Then bond it onto a semi-infinite mm2 piezoelectric substrate. For an X- or Y-cut of the substrate, a Love wave can ... -
Pilot study to investigate indoor air quality (IAQ) in energy efficient homes in Ireland: Report prepared for EPA STRIVE and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
(School of Physics, NUI Galway, 2010-09)Within this pilot study a number of Indoor air pollutants were measured in five energy efficient homes built to enhanced standards of air tightness of between 0.75 m3 /hr/m2 and 8.75 m3 /hr/m2 . The five homes were ... -
Planar [Ni-7] discs as double-bowl, pseudo metallacalix[6]arene host cavities
(RSC, 2010-09-19)We report three heptanuclear[Ni-7] complexes with planar disc-like cores, akin to double-bowl metallocalix[6]arenes, which form molecular H-bonded host cavities. -
A point-distribution index and its application to sensor-grouping in wireless sensor networks
(ACM, 2006)We propose [i], a novel index for evaluation of point-distribution. [i] is the minimum distance etween each pair of points normalized by the average distance between each pair of points. We find that a set of points that ... -
Pollination ecology of Desmodium setigerum (Fabaceae) in Uganda; do big bees do it better?
(2016-09)Explosive pollen release is documented in many plant families, including the Fabaceae. Desmodium setigerum E. Mey (Fabaceae) is a perennial herb with single trip explosive pollen release found in eastern Africa, and the ... -
Population‐based identity‐by‐descent mapping combined with exome sequencing to detect rare risk variants for schizophrenia
(Wiley, 2019-02-23)Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) are highly effective at identifying common risk variants for schizophrenia. Rare risk variants are also important contributors to schizophrenia etiology but, with the exception of ... -
Portable X-ray fluorescence for the detection of POP-BFRs in waste plastics
(Elsevier, 2018-05-26)The purpose of this study was to establish the efficacy of portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrumentation as a screening tool for a variety of end of life plastics which may contain excess amounts of brominated flame ... -
Post-buckling development in soft particulate composites
(Elsevier, 2023-07-26)In this paper, we investigate the post-buckling development of instability-induced patterns in soft particulate composites. Upon reaching the critical strain level, the composite experiences microstructural buckling. ... -
The Poynting effect
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2020-11-19)Intuition suggests that twisting a cylinder will shorten it, but here it is shown that for a cylinder of an incompressible material, like rubber, twisting will always produce elongation.
