Decisive and Incisive - The Path of DSS
(2008)Through this study we explore the literature discussing what management information systems are what decision support systems are in an attempt to clarify the taxonomies available in the literature into a holistic discourse. ... -
Decomposing Discussion Forums using User Roles
(http://www.websci10.org, 2010)Discussion forums are a central part of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 infrastructures. The health and sustainability of forums is dependent on the information exchange behaviour of its members. Such behaviour needs to be ... -
Decreased myometrial p160 ROCK-1 expression in obese women at term pregnancy
(2013)Background: Obesity is becoming an increasing problem in obstetric practice; it has led to an increase in the risk of caesarean delivery, prolonged pregnancy and dysfunctional labour. It has been postulated that many of ... -
Deep convolution neural network model to predict relapse in breast cancer
(IEEE, 2018-12-17)A mishap in anti-cancer drug distribution is critical in breast cancer patients due to poor prediction model to identify the treatment regime in ER+ve and ER-ve (Estrogen Receptor (ER)) patients. The traditional method for ... -
A deep learning approach to genomics data for population scale clustering and ethnicity prediction
(CEUR-WS.org, 2017-05-28)The understanding of variations in genome sequences assists us in identifying people who are predisposed to common diseases, solving rare diseases, and finding corresponding population group of the individuals from a ... -
Defences to international crimes
(Routledge, 2011)The label 'defences' can be used to describe a range of excusing or justificatory answers to a criminal charge, or as 'grounds for excluding criminal responsibility', according to Article 31 of the Rome Statute of the ... -
Defining reference intervals for a serum growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) assay in a Caucasian population and its potential utility in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
(De Gruyter, 2018-09-15)BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a stress responsive cytokine, is a promising biomarker of renal functional decline in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study aimed primarily to establish normative ... -
Defying Wikidata: Validation of terminological relations in the web of data
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-05-16)In this paper we present an approach to validate terminological data retrieved from open encyclopaedic knowledge bases. This need arises from the enrichment of automatically extracted terms with information from existing ... -
DeLone & McLean success model as a descriptive tool in evaluating the use of a virtual learning environment
(2009)This paper contributes the discussion about applying DeLone & McLean success model. Since its introduction in 1992, the model has been widely used and evaluated. In this paper the model is used as a descriptive tool in ... -
A Delphi study on collaborative learning in distance education: The faculty perspective
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-09-21)This paper focuses on the factors which influence collaborative learning in distance education. Distance education has been around for many years and the use of collaborative learning techniques in distance education is ... -
Demo: Visual Programming for the Semantic Desktop with Konduit
(2008)In this demo description, we present Konduit, a desktop-based platform for visual programming with RDF data. Based on the idea of the semantic desktop, non-technical users can create, manipulate and mash-up RDF data with ... -
Demonstrating a linked data platform for finite element biosimulations of cochlear mechanics
(CEUR-WS.org, 2015-10-11)Biosimulations employ Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate complex biological systems in order to understand different aspects of human organs. The applications of FEM biosimulations range from human ear cochlear mechanics, ... -
Demonstrating a linked data visualiser for finite element biosimulations
(IEEE, 2016-02-04)Healthcare experts have recently turned towards the use of Biosimulation models to understand the multiple or different causative factors that cause impairment in human organs. The applications of biosimulations have been ... -
Dependence of mechanical properties of polyamide components on build parameters in the SLS process
(Elsevier, 2007)Customised properties of parts manufactured using the selective laser sintering process are achievable by variation of build parameters. The energy density, controlled by laser power, distance between scan lines and speed ... -
Deprivation and its measurement in later life: findings from a mixed-methods study in Ireland
(Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, 2012-11)Against the background of an ageing population and the current economic recession, the research reported here explores deprivation, and its measurement, for diverse groups of older people living in Ireland. We assess the ... -
Describing Linked Datasets - On the Design and Usage of voiD, the 'Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets'
(2009)In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of voiD, the \Vocabulary Of Interlinked Datasets", a vocabulary that allows to formally describe linked RDF datasets. We report on use cases for voiD, the current state ... -
Design and characterization of a three-layer collagen-based scaffold to modulate BMSC behaviour for enthesis regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)The enthesis is a specialised tissue interface between tendon and bone, essential for adequate force transmission. Following injuries and surgical repair, the enthesis is often not re-established and traditionally used ... -
Design and characterization of synthetic biodegradable films for soft tissue engineering
(SciTePress, 2019)To repair soft tissue, it is vital to ensure that the biomaterial is able to mimic the complex elasticity of the native tissue. Substrate stiffness has a huge influence on cell physiology and behaviour. The present study ... -
