Big Brothers Big Sisters: Mobilising peer support in schools: An evaluation of the BBBS school based mentoring programme
(UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2012)The Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentoring Programme was established by Foróige in Ireland in 2001. The programme has two strands - a community-based programme which facilitates a friendship or ‘match’ between a young ... -
Big linked cancer data: Integrating linked TCGA and PubMed
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-07-16)The amount of bio-medical data available on the Web grows exponentially with time. The resulting large volume of data makes manual exploration very tedious. Moreover, the velocity at which this data changes and the variety ... -

Bioactive potential of natural biomaterials: identification, retention and assessment of biological properties
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-19)Biomaterials have had an increasingly important role in recent decades, in biomedical device design and the development of tissue engineering solutions for cell delivery, drug delivery, device integration, tissue replacement, ... -
Biochemical and cellular characterisation of the Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase (Pf M1AAP) and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase (Pf M17LAP)
(Nature Research, 2021-02-03)The Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase, PfM1AAP and PfM17LAP, are potential targets for novel anti-malarial drug development. Inhibitors of these aminopeptidases have been shown ... -
Biodistribution and retention of locally administered human mesenchymal stromal cells: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction–based detection of human DNA in murine organs
(Elsevier, 2017-01-12)Background. Determining the distributive fate and retention of a cell therapy product after administration is an essential part of characterizing it's biosafety profile. Therefore, regulatory guidelines stipulate that ... -
Biological applications of knowledge graph embedding models
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-02-17)Complex biological systems are traditionally modelled as graphs of interconnected biological entities. These graphs, i.e. biological knowledge graphs, are then processed using graph exploratory approaches to perform different ... -
Biomedical semantic resources for drug discovery platforms
(Springer Verlag, 2017-11-08)The biomedical research community is providing large-scale data sources to enable knowledge discovery from the data alone, or from novel scientific experiments in combination with the existing knowledge. Increasingly ... -
Biometric identities and e-government services.
(IGI Global, 2006)Governments are using the Internet and e-commerce technologies to provide public services to their citizens (Watson & Mundy, 2001). In so doing, governments aim to form better relationships with businesses and citizens by ... -
Biophysics rules the cell culture but has yet to reach the clinic: Why is that?
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2017-07)Musculoskeletal injuries are the leading cause of physical disability worldwide, with associated annual direct and indirect healthcare expenditure in excess of $874 billion in the United States alone.1 Current treatments ... -
The Boardscape: Creating a Super Social Network of Message Boards
(AAAI, 2007)A Web-based message board or forum is an online area where discussions are held by many Internet users on a variety of subjects. More recently, online social networks have been created for various purposes: job searching, ... -
Born with bristles: New insights on the Kölliker’s organs of Octopus skin
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05-10)The entire skin surface of octopus embryos, hatchlings and juveniles bears scattered tufts of tiny chitinous setae within small pockets, from which they can be everted and retracted. Known as Kölliker’s organs (KO), they ... -
Bovine kappa-casein gene promoter haplotypes with potential implications for milk protein expression
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2007-05-25)Genetic analysis of the kappa-casein gene (CSN3) promoter regions of 42 cattle representing 9 different breeds revealed that 2 distinct haplotypes (A and B) exist at this locus, differing from each other by single base ... -
Brain haemorrhage detection through SVM classification of electrical impedance tomography measurements
(Springer, Cham, 2019-08-28)A brain haemorrhage constitutes a serious medical scenario with a need for rapid, accurate detection to facilitate treatment initiation. Machine learning (ML) techniques applied to such medical diagnostic problems can ... -
Brain haemorrhage detection through SVM classification of impedance measurements
(NUI Galway, 2018-07-17)Machine Learning is becoming increasingly important in interpreting biological signals. In this work, we examine the potential for classification in brain haemorrhage detection. Numerical head and brain models with and ... -
