Formative evaluation of a telemedicine model for delivering clinical neurophysiology services part I: Utility, technical performance and service provider perspective
(2010)Background Formative evaluation is conducted in the early stages of system implementation to assess how it works in practice and to identify opportunities for improving technical and process performance. A formative ... -
Four decades of finite element analysis of orthopaedic devices: Where are we now and what are the opportunities?
(2015)Finite element has been used for more than four decades to study and evaluate the mechanical behaviour total joint replacements. In Huiskes seminal paper “Failed innovation in total hip replacement: diagnosis and proposals ... -
Controlled dehydration of a ruthenium complex-DNA crystal induces reversible DNA kinking
(2014)Hydration-dependent DNA deformation has been known since Rosalind Franklin recognised that the relative humidity of the sample had to be maintained to observe a single conformation in DNA fibre diffraction. We now report ... -
A Supramolecular Approach to Enantioselective DNA Recognition using Enantiomerically Resolved Cationic 4-Amino-1,8-Naphthalimide based Tröger s Base.
(2014)The synthesis and photophysical studies of two cationic Tröger's base (TB)-derived bis-naphthalimides 1 and 2 and the TB derivative 6, characterized by X-ray crystallography, are presented. The enantiomers of 1 and 2 are ... -
Study of picosecond processes of an intercalated dipyridophenazine Cr(iii) complex bound to defined sequence DNAs using transient absorption and time-resolved infrared methods
(2014)Picosecond transient absorption (TA) and time-resolved infrared (TRIR) measurements of rac-[Cr(phen)2(dppz)]3+ (1) intercalated into double-stranded guanine-containing DNA reveal that the excited state is very rapidly ... -
Wash-free highly sensitive detection of C-reactive protein using gold derivatised triangular silver nanoplates
(2014)A rapid, wash-free highly sensitive detection method for C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is reported with both triangular silver nanoplate (TSNP) and Au-edge coated TSNP biosensor sols. The latter shows higher assay sensitivity ... -
Long-lived excited states in i-motif DNA studied by picosecond time-resolved IR spectroscopy
(2014)The transient IR absorption spectrum for UV-excited i-motif DNA is reported for the first time and found to possess complex dynamics pointing to multiple decay processes, including possible charge transfer between packed ... -
Cervical dystonia: a disorder of the midbrain network for covert attentional orienting.
(2014)While the pathogenesis of cervical dystonia remains unknown, recent animal and clinical experimental studies have indicated its probable mechanisms. Abnormal temporal discrimination is a mediational endophenotype of cervical ... -
A method to assess adherence in inhaler use through analysis of acoustic recordings of inhaler events
(2014)Rationale Poor adherence to inhaler use can be due to poor temporal and/or technique adherence. Up until now there has been no way of reliably tracking both these factors in everyday inhaler use. Objectives This ... -
Beyond Mannheim: Conceptualising how people 'talk' and 'do' generations in contemporary society
(2015)In the 1920s, Karl Mannheim developed the concept of generation in a treatise entitled ‘The Problem of Generations’ (1952/1928). His conceptualisation pertained to what Pilcher (1994) calls ‘social generations’, that is, ... -
Radiotherapy equipment and departments in the European countries: Final results from the ESTRO-HERO survey
(2014)Background Documenting the distribution of radiotherapy departments and the availability of radiotherapy equipment in the European countries is an important part of HERO – the ESTRO Health Economics in Radiation Oncology ... -

No differences in hippocampal volume between carriers and non-carriers of the ApoE ε4 and ε2 alleles in young healthy adolescents
(2014)Individuals with alcohol-dependent parents show an elevated risk of developing alcohol-related problems themselves. Modulations of the mesolimbic reward circuit have been postulated as a pre-existing marker of alcoholism. ... -
Dimensions of manic symptoms in youth: psychosocial impairment and cognitive performance in the IMAGEN sample.
(2014)It has been reported that mania may be associated with superior cognitive performance. In this study, we test the hypothesis that manic symptoms in youth separate along two correlated dimensions and that a symptom constellation ... -
Fornix White Matter is Correlated with Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Thalamus and Hippocampus in Healthy Aging but Not in Mild Cognitive Impairment - A Preliminary Study.
(2015)In this study, we wished to examine the relationship between the structural connectivity of the fornix, a white matter (WM) tract in the limbic system, which is affected in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and ... -
Robust regression for large-scale neuroimaging studies.
(2015)Multi-subject datasets used in neuroimaging group studies have a complex structure, as they exhibit non-stationary statistical properties across regions and display various artifacts. While studies with small sample sizes ... -
Taking Care: Criticality and Reflexivity in the Context of Social Work Registration
(2015)Prompted by the introduction of statutory social work registration into the Republic of Ireland, the authors consider the assumptions that attach to regulation, including the promise of greater public protection vis-à-vis ... -
Continuing Professional Development: Examining the Basics
(2012)Drawing on data collected as part of a national study of social work and continuing professional development (CPD) in Ireland which was carried out by the author between 2005 and 2007 (Kirwan, 2010), this article pinpoints ...
