Investigating cooking and heating product needs for irish older adults
(European Academy of Design, 2011-05-07)Objectives The world’s population is ageing; researchers have an increasingly important role to play in innovating new products, appliances and services to allow for better everyday living conditions of this ageing ... -
The design and development of novel cooking and heating products for irish older adults: a real health need
(Common Ground Research Networks, 2011-07-06)The world’s population is ageing; researchers have an increasingly important role to play in innovating new products, appliances and services to allow for better everyday living conditions of this ageing demographic. ... -
Long-term agrichemical use leads to alterations in bacterial community diversity
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2012)Bacterial communities are key drivers of soil fertility and agriculture productivity. Understanding how soil bacterial communities change in response to different conditions is an important aspect in the development of ... -
Genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that has biocontrol activity against fungal plant pathogens and is a model for rhizosphere colonization. Here, we present its complete genome ... -
Regional earning disparities and the speed of transition: Evidence from Poland 1994–1997
(Springer, 2012)In the early days of transition Poland hosted regional earning disparities. Low levels of worker and firm mobility allow us to threat regions as local labor markets. Wage behavior is modeled in regional labor markets as ... -
An examination of the association between premature mortality and life expectancy among men in Europe.
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Background: A feature of the health of men across Europe is their higher rates of premature mortality and shorter life expectancy at birth than women. Following the publication of the first State of Men’s Health in Europe ... -
Characterization of mineral phosphate solubilization traits from a barley rhizosphere soil functional metagenome.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)Mineral phosphate solubilization (MPS) microorganisms are important for their provision of orthophosphate anions for plant growth promotion activity in soil. In this study, we applied a functional metagenomic approach to ... -
An examination of market orientated organisational culture
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2013)This research is a mixed-method case study of the organisational culture of market orientated companies. Market orientation occupies an important position in marketing and strategy literature. Research has acknowledged ... -
Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) sample storage for a posteriori molecular studies: Interactions between sample storage and DNA-extraction techniques.
(Institute of Entomology, 2013)A global decline in pollinator abundance and diversity has demanded increased research attention to the ecology and genetics of bumblebees. However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, ... -
Genome sequence reveals that Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 possesses a large and diverse array of systems for rhizosphere function and host interaction
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) isolated from the sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively studied as a model strain for genetic regulation ... -
Ethnography in designing for older people
(Sheffield Hallam University, 2013-07-03)As the global population rapidly gets older, designers are continually seeking means to gaining understanding and eliciting true user insights into older people’s design, health and wellbeing needs. Comprehensive field ... -
Characterisation and expression profile of the bovine cathelicidin gene repertoire in mammary tissue
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background Cathelicidins comprise a major group of host-defence peptides. Conserved across a wide range of species, they have several functions related to host defence. Only one cathelicidin has been found in humans but ... -
Research development to define 'shared usability' in product design for older adults
(Europe Chapter Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2014-11) -
Comparison of uptake of colorectal cancer screening based on fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in males and females: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2015)Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in males and the second in females worldwide. Incidence and mortality are higher in men than women. Colorectal cancer screening is effective in reducing mortality. ... -
Design history: Culture and contexts
(Iterations, 2015)Design in it’s widest definition, does not exist within it’s own paradigm. Many things affect design and it’s outcomes. Specific design disciplines influence, and are influenced by other creative areas and also by wider ... -
An examination of the influence of market-oriented behaviours on the layers of organisational culture
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2015)Examines the Influence that Market-Oriented behaviours have on the layers of an organisation’s culture: namely, its values, norms and artifacts. Since the early 1980s there has been a surge of research in the area of ... -
The open dataset on students’ perceptions of virtual learning environments in Ireland: Collaborating to listen to the student voice
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The Irish inter‐institutional virtual learning environments (VLEs) open dataset stems from ongoing work with a rolling longitudinal survey of students’ usage of VLEs which has been ongoing in 12 higher education institutions ... -
A design research framework to inform policy in Irish higher education
(Iterations, 2015)The landscape of higher education in Ireland is changing. In 2011, the National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 was launched providing a blueprint for its future development. Part of this ongoing process will see the ... -
Prevalence of BoHV-1 seropositive and BVD virus positive bulls on Irish dairy farms and associations between bull purchase and herd status
(Irish Veterinary Journal, 2015)Background - BVD and IBR are contagious viral diseases highly prevalent in Irish cattle. Despite their significant reproductive and economic impact very little is known about the BVD and IBR status of stock bulls (a bull ... -
Plant growth promotion induced by phosphate solubilizing endophytic Pseudomonas isolates.
(Frontiers Media, 2015)The use of plant growth promoting bacterial inoculants as live microbial biofertilizers provides a promising alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Inorganic phosphate solubilization is one of the major ...
