An abundance estimate for humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae breeding around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands
(2014)The abundance of humpback whales occurring around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands, was estimated by mark-recapture modelling. Photographs of markings on tail flukes of individual whales were collected during the breeding ... -
Acceptance Test-Driven Development by annotation of existing documentation
Testing is frequently reported as a crucial stage in the software development process. With traditional approaches acceptance testing is the last stage of the process before release. Acceptance Test Driven Development ... -

Activation of Ca2+-activated Cl- current by depolarizing steps in rabbit urethral interstitial cells.
Interstitial cells were isolated from strips of rabbit urethra for study using the amphotericin B perforated-patch technique. Depolarizing steps to -30 mV or greater activated a Ca2+ current (ICa), followed by a Ca2+-activated ... -
Activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway inhibits electrical activity in rabbit urethral interstitial cells of Cajal by reducing the spatial spread of Ca 2+ waves
In the present study we used a combination of patch clamping and fast confocal Ca 2+ imaging to examine the effects of activators of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway on pacemaker activity in freshly dispersed ICC from ... -
Addressing engineering teaching issues in online distance learning
(2011)Efforts by IT Sligo to transfer courses into an online distance learning format since 2002 ran into three significant obstacles, namely the expense of developing learning materials for niche areas, an inability to teach ... -
Adept – A Software Process Appraisal Method for Small to Medium-sized Software Development Organisations
In this paper we describe the appraisal method that was developed by Lero (the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre) and Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) to assess software processes within small to medium-sized ... -
AffecTech- an affect-aware interactive AV Artwork
New developments in real-time computing and body-worn sensor technology allow us to explore not just visible gestures using inertial sensors, but also invisible changes in an individual’s physiological state using bio-sensors ... -
