Detection of vesicoureteral reflux using electrical impedance tomography
(IEEE, 2018-12-14)Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) non-invasively using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). VUR is characterized by the backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys. ... -
Developing a Continuous Space Representation of a Simulated Population
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-09-03)Spatial microsimulation models typically match census of population data with survey data in order to simulate synthetic populations of individuals and households within small-scale geographic areas. For most spatial ... -
Developing a Dataset for Technology Structure Mining
(IEEE, 2010)This paper describes steps that have been taken to construct a development dataset for the task of Technology Structure Mining. We have defined the proposed task as the process of mapping a scientific corpus into a ... -

Developing inclusive research methodologies: testing the voice centred relational method of qualitative data analysis in a collaborative research project on early school leaving
(Child & Family Research and Policy Unit, WHB/ NUI Galway., 2004)Committed to developing collaborative research processes and practices, this study sought to establish research partnerships between academic researchers, activists working in a context of social exclusion and those ... -
Developing, implementing and critiquing an evaluation framework to assess the extent to which a child’s right to be heard is embedded at an organisational level
(Springer, 2021-08-10)The national Child and Family Agency in Ireland, in 2015, undertook an ambitious three-year programme of work to embed a child s right to be heard in its culture and operations. In parallel to its implementation, the authors ... -
Development of a flow cytometry-based potency assay for measuring the in vitro immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stromal cells
(Elsevier, 2016-07-20)Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) have well-documented modulatory effects on multiple immune cell types. Although these effects are linked to their therapeutic benefit in diverse diseases, a ... -
The development of a prototype behavioral marker system for U.S Navy Officers of the Deck
(2011)The Officer of the Deck (OOD) of a U.S Navy ship is in charge of the safe and proper operation of the ship, and accountable to the Commanding Officer for every event that occurs during his or her OOD watch. This paper ... -
Development of a rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in whole blood
(BioMed Central, 2015-10-29)Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of microbial disease in humans. The introduction of multivalent vaccines has coincided with a dramatic decrease in the number of pneumococcal-related deaths. In ... -
The Development of A Realistic Simulation Framework with OMNeT++
(IEEE, 2008)It is necessary to use simulation tools in the study of wireless network. The object-oriented modular discrete event network simulator, OMNeT++, can not only afford many network simulation but has strong GUI support and ... -
The Development of Monitoring Tools for ISPCC Services
(2008-11)The ISPCC Citizen Child Strategy (ISPCC, 2005) includes a proposal to evaluate the effect of its work. In order to undertake such an evaluation, a system of performance and outcome measurement that was valid and reliable ... -
Diagnosis of sheep fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica using cathepsin L enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)
(Elsevier, 2021-07-13)Fasciolosis, a global parasitic disease of agricultural livestock, is caused by the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. Management and strategic control of fasciolosis on farms depends on early assessment of the extent of disease ... -
