Examining the long-term reduction in commuting emissions from working from home
(2024)To develop effective climate strategies, it is necessary to model the long-term impacts of combined policy measures. This study examines how an increase in working-from-home (WFH) practices, coupled with higher private car ... -
Deterministic multi-level spin orbit torque switching using focused He+ ion beam irradiation
(2023)He+ ion irradiation is used to pattern multiple areas of Pt/Co/W films with different irradiation doses in Hall bars. The resulting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy landscape enables selective multilevel current-induced ... -
Measurement Properties of �Wii Fit Free Jogging� Virtual Distance
(2014)Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the measurement properties of an outcome associated with the Nintendo(®) (Kyoto, Japan) game "Wii™ Fit Free Jogging" called virtual distance. Investigations into virtual ... -
Influence of topology on the phase transition of a ferromagnetic metal
(2023)The topological ferromagnet CoS2 exhibits an anhysteretic, weakly first-order transition at the Curie temperature of 119.8 K with a tricritical point µ0Htcp at 0.034 T. Magnetic symmetry and the mixing of majority and ... -
Ferromagnetic resonance damping mechanisms in CoFeB thin films with Cr substitution
(2023)The substitution of iron atoms by chromium in CoFeB films has been proposed to reduce the critical current density Jc for current-driven magnetization switching in spin transfer torque devices by reducing its magnetization. ... -
Active video games as a form of exercise and the effect of gaming experience: a preliminary study in healthy young adults.
(2012)Objectives: To examine the energy expenditure and heart rate response while playing active video games, and the effect of gaming experience on energy expenditure. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants and ... -
Physical Activity is Associated with Metabolic Health in Men Living with HIV.
(2018)Metabolic health is a cause for concern among those living with HIV, especially those on antiretroviral therapy. Physical activity (PA) is known to benefit metabolic health, however, few studies have objectively measured ... -
A feasibility study of a physiotherapy-led motivational programme to increase physical activity and improve cardiometabolic risk in people with major mental illness.
(2018)People with major mental illness (MMI) such as schizophrenia, bi- polar disease and major depression have a reduced life expectancy [1–3]. This is predominantly due to natural causes [4–8], such as cardiovascular disease ... -
Were Frailty Identification Criteria Created Equal? A Comparative Case Study on Continuous Non-Invasively Collected Neurocardiovascular Signals during an Active Standing Test in the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2024)Background: In this observational study, we compared continuous physiological signals during an active standing test in adults aged 50 years and over, characterised as frail by three different criteria, using data from ... -
A fully compensated ferrimagnetic half metal Co1-xCrxS2 with Curie temperature above room temperature
(2023)Fully compensated ferrimagnetic half metals have attracted great attention in spintronics. Unlike many previous calculations based on hypothetical ordered alloys, here we look for existing solid solution series taking as ... -
Structural, magnetic and electronic properties of L21 -ordered Ru2-xMn1+xAl Heusler alloy thin films
(2023)The cubic Heusler alloy Ru2–xMn1+xAl is grown in thin film form on MgO and MgAl2O4 substrates. It is a highly spin-polarised ferrimagnetic metal, with weak magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Although structurally and chemically ... -
The Potential of "Wii Fit Free Jogging" as an Exercise Test
(Games for Health Journal, 2014)Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of "Wii Fit Free jogging" (Nintendo, Kyoto, Japan) as a tool to estimate aerobic fitness in healthy young adults. It was hypothesized that virtual ... -
Violence against nurses by patients and visitors in the emergency department: a concept analysis
(2022)Aim: This analysis investigates the concept of violence against nurses by patients and visitors in the emergency department. It aims to differentiate, clarify, and clearly identify this specific concept, which will facilitate ... -
Violence against nurses by patients and visitors in the emergency department: An integrative review
(2024)Aim: This integrative review explored violence against emergency nurses by patients/visitors, examining its nature, contributing factors and consequences. Design: Integrative review. Data sources: Articles were ... -
The ever-present problem of violence and abuse in health care settings
(2022)Violence and abuse in society is both a pervasive and pertinent issue for nurses, nurse managers and citizens alike. In recent times, the world has witnessed large scale global events which have potentiated the conduct ... -
A Synthetic Voice for an Assistive Conversational Agent: A Survey to Discover Italian Preferences regarding Synthetic Voice's Gender and Quality Level
(2023)Based on a previous investigation, a quantitative study aimed to identify user’ preferences towards four synthetic voices of two different quality levels (classified through the sophistication of the synthesizer: low vs. ... -
The impact of gender-inclusive methods on design decision making
(Sette Citta, 2023)Many assumptions regarding gender biases in design have been raised in recent decades, such as that gender stereotypes can be ingrained in products and services (Akrich, 1992; van Oost, 2003) and that the gender imbalance ... -
Sign Languages in Britain and Ireland
(Cambridge University Press, 2024)Deaf people are typically multilingual and use multimodal resources, i.e. sign, writing and speech, for communication in their everyday lives (Quinto-Pozos & Adam 2013). This is due to the fact that only 5% of all deaf ...
