Understanding disadvantaged adolescents' perception of health literacy through a systematic development of peer vignettes
(BMC, 2021-03-25)Adolescence represents a crucial phase of life where health behaviours, attitudes and social determinants can have lasting impacts on health quality across the life course. Unhealthy behaviour in young people is generally ... -
How does the dietary intake of female field-based team sport athletes compare to dietary recommendations for health and performance? A systematic literature review
(MDPI, 2021-04-09)Field-based team sports present large energetic demands given their intermittent high-intensity nature. Current evidence suggests that the dietary intake of female athletes may be insufficient to meet such demands, resulting ... -
β-Glucan
(MDPI, 2021)β-glucans are a key active ingredient in mushrooms and are also found in oats, barley, yeast, bacteria and algae. In microbial sources, they are a structural component and in grain sources, they are found in the endospermic ... -
Hop-by-hop congrestion measurement and practical active queue management in NDN
(IEEE, 2020-12)Content replication and name-based routing in Named Data Network (NDN) naturally lead to connectionless multi-source and multipath transmissions. Traditional congestion control designed for end-to-end connections cannot ... -
The "proof" of the pudding is not just in the eating. Savouring the richness of the research process experience
(Everthing is Connected Press, 2021)There is much written on research methodologies and the merits of each within academic texts. Researchers provide written accounts of their methodologies, their results locating these in literature previously reviewed. New ... -
An extensible parsing pipeline for unstructured data processing
(IEEE, 2021-03-10)Network monitoring and diagnostics systems depict the running system's state and generate enormous amounts of unstructured data through log files, print statements, and other reports. It is not feasible to manually analyze ... -

Deep learning based stable and unstable candle flame detection
(Springer, 2021-02-06)This paper presents a deep learning based solution for identification of normal and abnormal candle flames, controlled and uncontrolled flames. Candle flames affected by external factors like wind, improper combustion of ... -
Exploring the prototypical definitions of intelligent engineers held by Irish and Swedish higher education engineering students
(SAGE, 2021-03-12)Males are generally overrepresented in higher education engineering. However, the magnitude of this variance differs between countries and engineering fields. Evidence associated with the field-specific ability beliefs ... -
The Boomerang study: increased hospital re-admission via the emergency department
(Irish Medical Organisation, 2021-01)Aims This research was performed to assess if a reduced length of hospital stay was associated with in-creased re-attendances to, and re-admissions from, the Emergency Department (ED). Methods Inpatient discharge and ED ... -
Antimicrobial active bioplastics using triangular silver nano-plate integrated polycaprolactone and polylactic acid films
(MDPI, 2021-02-28)An innovative antimicrobial technology for plastic surfaces is presented. We report the synthesis and scale-up of triangular silver nano-plates (TSNPs) and their integration into polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactic ... -
Investigations on the use of exopolysaccharide derived from mycelial extract of Ganoderma lucidum as functional feed ingredient for aquaculture-farmed red hybrid Tilapia ( Oreochromis sp.)
(Elsevier, 2021-02-03)There is growing interest in medicinal fungi for promoting immunomodulation benefits in humans and animals. In this study, exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Ganoderma lucidum was used in feed (EFF) on production of farmed-red ... -
Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation in phosphoric acid for implant applications
(Rede Latino-Americana de Materiais, 2021)Among titanium alloys with non-toxic elements, the Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy has good elastic behavior for applications in osseous implants, biocompatibility, and excellent corrosion resistance. The present study aimed to better ... -
Scratch-resistant and well-adhered nanotube arrays produced via anodizing process on β-titanium alloy
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Well-adhered nanotube arrays were produced through the anodizing technique on a Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy and tribo-mechanically evaluated by nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests. Disregarding substrate effects, the hardness of ... -
The effect of muscle energy techniques on latent trigger points of the gastrocnemius muscle
(United States Sports Academcy, 2921-02-12)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of muscle energy technique post isometric relaxation as a treatment method for latent trigger points within the gastrocnemius muscle. This study also ... -
Disposable face masks and reusable face coverings as non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 variants that cause coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Role of new sustainable NPI design innovations and predictive mathematical modelling
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)Best-published evidence supports the combined use of vaccines with non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), to reduce the relative risk of contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes ... -
Use of Zebrafish embryo assay to evaluate toxicity and safety of bioreactor-grown exopolysaccharides and endopolysaccharides from European Ganoderma applanatum mycelium for future acquaculture applications
(MDPI, 2021-02-07)Natural mycelial exopolysaccharide (EPS) and endopolysaccharide (ENS) extracted from bioreactor-cultivated European Ganoderma applanatum mushrooms are of potential high commercial value for both food and adjacent ... -
Evaluation of nutrition knowledge in elite and sub-elite Gaelic football players
