Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles: a review of the synthesis methodology and mechanism of formation.
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Zinc oxide is of significant importance for many industries due to its versatile properties, which have been enhanced with the production of this material in the nanoscale. Nonetheless, the increase in concerns related to ... -
Halloysite nanotube reinforced polylactic acid composite.
(Wiley, 2017-10)Polylactic acid (PLA) has long history in medical applications, and reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation ... -
Happiness and health across the lifespan in five major cities: the impact of place and government performance.
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Rationale A growing body of research suggests that urban design has an effect on health and well-being. There have been very few studies to date, however, that compare these effects across the lifespan. Objective The ... -
Harnessing the power of digital badges to help create future ready graduates.
(Pixel International Conferences, 2019)Higher education has seen an upsurge in recent times in the use of digital badges for the recording of student achievement. According to Dowling-Hetherington & Glowtaz [1], many students in higher education today have grown ... -
Health care professionals' knowledge and practice of physical activity promotion for cancer survivors in Ireland.
(ISBNPA, 2016-06)Purpose: With advancements in cancer screening and treatment, cancer mortality rates continue to decline for most major cancer types globally. This translates into a growing cohort of cancer survivors worldwide, estimated ... -
Health promotion interventions in sports clubs: can we talk about a setting based approach? A systematic mapping review.
(Sage, 2018-02)Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000’s, a thorough understanding of ... -
A healthy sports club initiative in action in Ireland.
(Sage, 2020-02-10)Objective: The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is part of the cultural fabric of Irish society with a club in almost every community nationwide. The aim of this project was to carry out a pilot evaluation of the GAA ... -
A heuristic framework of spatial ability: a review and synthesis of spatial factor literature to support its translation into STEM education.
(Springer, 2018)An abundance of empirical evidence exists identifying a significant correlation between spatial ability and educational performance particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Despite this ... -
Heuristics and CAD modelling: an examination of student behaviour during problem solving episodes within CAD modelling activities.
(Springer, 2018)Design activities typically involve and culminate in the creation of models representative of new ideas and conceptions. The format is often dictated by the specific discipline, with ideas in design and technology education ... -
HIIT enhances endurance performance and aerobic characteristics more than high-volume training in trained rowers.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This study compared the effects of long slow distance training (LSD) with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in rowers. Nineteen well-trained rowers performed three tests before and after an 8-week training intervention: ... -
HLAF: heterogeneous-latency adaptive forwarding strategy for peer-assisted video streaming in NDN.
(IEEE, 2017-09)Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising Future Internet architecture to support efficient content distribution. Specifically, P2P may gain benefits from NDN, as NDN inherently provides a flexible forwarding plane for ... -
