Developing Creativity in Computer Science Initial Teacher Education through Design Thinking
(ACM, 2020-09-03)Design thinking is a valuable component in teacher education enabling the development of creativity amongst the cohort. Studies have been developed to capture the effects of discipline specific design thinking, however ... -
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ... -

Exploring applications of deep reinforcement learning for real-world autonomous driving systems
(2019-01)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has become increasingly powerful in recent years, with notable achievements such as Deepmind’s AlphaGo. It has been successfully deployed in commercial vehicles like Mobileye’s path ... -
Fast and accurate genome anchoring using fuzzy hash maps
(2011)Although hash-based approaches to sequence alignment and genome assembly are long established, their utility is predicated on the rapid identification of exact k-mers from a hash-map or similar data structure. We describe ... -
Implications of lymphocyte anergy to glycolipids in multiple sclerosis (MS): iNKT cells may mediate the MS infectious trigger
(2013)Immunogenic lipids may play key roles in host defenses against infection and in generating autoimmune inflammation and organ-specific damage. In multiple sclerosis (MS) there are unequivocal autoimmune features and ... -
iNKT-cells and their ligands: focus on multiple sclerosis
(2015)The cells of the immune system are broadly divided into those that belong to the innate arm of immunity and those that belong to the adaptive immune system(1) The innate immune cells include macrophages, dendritic cells ... -
An integrated approach to comparative assembly
(2014)We describe a novel approach to comparative assembly that directly integrates anchoring alignments into the contig assembly process, enabling the extension of contig construction through the boundaries of repeat nodes in ... -
Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ... -
A java library for fuzzy string matching
(2012)We describe the design and structure of a Java library for approximate string matching. The API provides a rich variety of flexible and extensible fuzzy data structures, including lists, tries and maps that support approximate ... -
Marine fauna of county Wexford, Ireland: the fauna of rocky shores and sandy beaches
(The Marine Institute, 1998)Information accumulated during 20 years of investigations on the coast of County Wexford is summarised. Topics include shore descriptions, faunal records, transectal surveys on rocky shores and sandy beaches, cryptofaunal ... -
Population dynamics, age, growth and maturity of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled between 2000-2002 off the west coast of Ireland
(Marine Institute, 2006)The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sale (Microstomus kin), from commercial catches off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), was determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. ... -
Spatial separation of catches in highly mixed fisheries
(nature.com, 2018-09-17)Mixed fisheries are the dominant type of fishery worldwide. Overexploitation in mixed fisheries occurs when catches continue for available quota species while low quota species are discarded. As EU fisheries management ... -
A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Reward Transformations in Multi-Objective Stochastic Games
(2017)Reward shaping has been proposed as a means to address the credit assignment problem in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Two popular shaping methods are Potential-Based Reward Shaping and di erence rewards, and both have been ...
