Keeping Them in the Game: Taking Up and Dropping Out of Sport and Exercise in Ireland
(ESRI, 2013)This report presents the most comprehensive statistical analysis of active participation in sport and physical exercise in Ireland undertaken to date. We employ three large, nationally representative datasets, which ... -
Further Education and Training in Ireland: Past, Present and Future
(ESRI, 2014)The establishment of An Seirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna (SOLAS) has prompted an assessment of the nature of current further education and training (FET) and an exploration of future directions. This ... -
Plasma-Assisted Simultaneous Reduction and Nitrogen Doping of Graphene Oxide Nanosheets
(2013)An environmentally benign and scalable route for the production of gram scale quantities of nitrogen-doped graphene using a downstream microwave plasma source is reported. Simultaneous reduction and doping of graphene oxide ... -
Functionalization of graphene surfaces with downstream plasma treatments
(2013)We report on an adjustable process for the functionalization of graphene surfaces with a downstream plasma source. The parameters of oxygen plasma treatments are modified such that oxygenated functionalities can be added ... -
Electrochemical ascorbic acid sensor based on DMF-exfoliated graphene
(2010)This paper describes the electron transfer properties of graphene nano-sheets (GNSs) immobilised on pyrolysed photoresist film (PPF) electrodes. The former are produced by the dispersion and exfoliation of graphite in ... -
Robust Automated Detection of Microstructural White Matter Degeneration in Alzheimer's Disease Using Machine Learning Classification of Multicenter DTI Data
(2013)Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based assessment of white matter fiber tract integrity can support the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of DTI as a biomarker, however, depends on its applicability in a ... -
Perspectives for multimodal neurochemical and imaging biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease.
(2013)The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is presently going through a paradigm shift from disease categories to dimensions and toward the implementation of biomarkers to support identification of predementia and even ... -
Sexual Dimorphism in Healthy Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A DTI Study.
(2012)Previous PET and MRI studies have indicated that the degree to which pathology translates into clinical symptoms is strongly dependent on sex with women more likely to express pathology as a diagnosis of AD, whereas men ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents
(2015)Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown. We conducted ... -

Edge-carboxylated graphene nanoflakes from nitric acid oxidised arc-discharge material
(2010)Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with average diameters of 30 nm have been prepared by a single-step oxidation procedure using single-wall carbon nanotube arc-discharge material and nitric acid. The GNFs are predominately ... -
Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors
(2014)Herein we use Nitrogen-doped reduced Graphene Oxide (N-rGO) as the active material in supercapacitor electrodes. Building on a previous work detailing the synthesis of this material, electrodes were fabricated via ... -
Processing and characterisation of Mo6S2I8 nanowires
(2010)One-dimensional nanostructures based on the Mo?S?I system have recently aroused a lot of interest as a viable alternative to the ubiquitous carbon nanotube due to their uniform structure and electronic properties for a ... -
Single-step exfoliation and chemical functionalisation of graphene and hBN nanosheets with nickel phthalocyanine
(2012)Versatile routes to functionalise few-layer graphene and hBN with nickel phthalocyanine (Ni-Pc) were achieved using liquid phase exfoliation and sonication methods. EDX performed on the graphene//Ni-Pc specimen showed ... -
Gas phase controlled deposition of high quality large-area graphene films
(2010)A gas phase controlled graphene synthesis resembling a CVD process that does not critically depend on cooling rates is reported. The controllable catalytic CVD permits high quality large-area graphene formation with deft ... -
Controlled synthesis of transition metal dichalcogenide thin films for electronic applications
(2014)Two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are exciting materials for future applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and sensing. In particular, sulfides and selenides of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten ... -
Rediscovering the human and forgetting the natural in economics and finance
(2014)When did finance stop thinking about behaviour? The ascendency of the "rational man" model of finance has been strongly influenced by the notion of markets as being akin to natural systems. The question rapidly changes ...
