Ultrafast IR spectroscopy of polymeric cytosine nucleic acids reveal the long-lived species is due to a localised state
(2012)The decay pathways of UV-excited cytosine polymers are investigated using picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. Similar yields of a non-emissive 1niU* state are found in the single-stranded dC30 polymer as in the ... -
Ultrafast IR spectroscopy of the short-lived transients formed by UV excitation of cytosine derivatives
(2007)A strong infrared band at 1574 cm(-1) is observed following 267 nm excitation of 2'-deoxycytidine (tau = 37 +/- 4 ps) or 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate (tau = 33 +/- 4 ps); this band is provisionally attributed to an ... -
An uncoupled oscillator model for evoked potential dynamical modelling
(IEEE, 1996)A mathematical model for evoked potentials is outlined. The model has been developed by considering phase synchronisation of the underlying neurological processes. The model, consisting of an ensemble of uncoupled ... -
An uncoupled oscillator model of the Hoffmann reflex
(IEEE, 1998)A simple, new, mathematical model for the Hoffmann reflex is outlined. This model has been developed by considering phase synchronisation of the underlying neuromuscular processes by the electrical stimulation pulse. The ... -
Uncovering the Neural Signature of Lapsing Attention: Electrophysiological Signals Predict Errors up to 20 s before They Occur
(2009)The extent to which changes in brain activity can foreshadow human error is uncertain yet has important theoretical and practical implications. The present study examined the temporal dynamics of electrocortical signals ... -
The Underdetection of Cognitive Impairment in Nursing Homes in the Dublin area: The Need for on-going Cognitive Assessment
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Sampling of NHs: All general private and voluntary NHs belonging to the former Irish Health Service Executive East Coast Area (Dublin Mid-Leinster) were sampled. Three areas, namely 1, (Dun Laoire), 2 (Dublin South East) ... -
Understanding informal payments in healthcare: motivation of health workers in Tanzania
(2009)Background There is growing evidence that informal payments for health care are fairly common in many low- and middle-income countries. Informal payments are reported to have a negative consequence on equity and quality ... -
Understanding Special Class Provision in Ireland: Findings from a National Survey of Schools

Uniqueness Typing for Resource Management in Message-Passing Concurrency.
(2012)We view channels as the main form of resources in a message-passing programming paradigm. These channels need to be carefully managed in settings where resources are scarce. To study this problem, we extend the pi-calculus ... -

User Cost and Irish House Prices
(2011)A measure commonly used to assess house prices is the house price?to? rent ratio. This ratio captures the costs of alternative forms of accommodation, namely buying or renting. In the long run these two costs should move ... -
Using broad phonetic group experts for improved speech recognition
(IEEE, 2007)In phoneme recognition experiments, it was found that approximately 75% of misclassified frames were assigned labels within the same broad phonetic group (BPG). While the phoneme can be described as the smallest ... -
Using intelligence to shape reforms in child protection
(2012)The Ryan Report, published in 2009, was not the first review of child welfare services to raise disquiet. Nevertheless it was unique in that its recommendations went beyond the deficits exposed by the report to comment on ... -
Using support vector machines with multiple indices of diffusion for automated classification of mild cognitive impairment.
(2012)Few studies have looked at the potential of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in conjunction with machine learning algorithms in order to automate the classification of healthy older subjects and subjects with mild ... -
Using wavelet coefficients for the classification of the electrocardiogram
(IEEE, 2002)This study investigates the automatic classification of the Frank lead electrocardiogram (ECG) into different pathophysiological disease categories. Coefficients from the discrete wavelet transform are used to represent ... -
Verbal intelligence is a more robust cross-sectional measure of cognitive reserve than level of education in healthy older adults.
(2021)Background: Cognitive reserve is most commonly measured using socio-behavioural proxy variables. These variables are easy to collect, have a straightforward interpretation, and are widely associated with reduced risk of ... -
Very low saturation densities in strained InGaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells
(1994)The saturation of excitonic absorption in strained InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells is systematically measured as a function of strain. By comparison with an unstrained GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well sample a reduction by a factor ... -
Virtual reality nature exposure and test anxiety
(2020)The number of students affected by exam anxiety continues to rise. Therefore, it is becoming progressively relevant to explore innovative remediation strategies that will help mitigate the debilitating effects of exam ...
