Monitoring, sources, receptors, and control measures for three European Union watch list substances of emerging concern in receiving waters - a 20 year systematic review
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Pollution of European receiving waters with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as with 17-beta-estradiol (a natural estrogenic hormone, E2), along with pharmaceutically-active compounds diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory ...
Synthesis, characterization and monoamine transporter activity of the new psychoactive substance 3’,4’-methylenedioxy-4-methylaminorex (MDMAR).
(Wiley, 2015-07)
The recent occurrence of deaths associated with the psychostimulant cis-4,4'-dimethylaminorex (4,4'-DMAR) in Europe indicated the presence of a newly emerged psychoactive substance on the market. Subsequently, the existence ...
Activity profiles and the associations with weight status in population studies of young children: are there gender differences?
(Human Kinetics, 2017-02)
Purpose:
Profiling activity behaviors in young children is important to understand changes in weight status over time. The purpose of this study is to identify activity profiles from self- and parental-reported Physical ...
Test purchase, synthesis and characterization of 2- methoxydiphenidine (MXP) and differentiation from its metaand para-substituted isomers.
(Wiley, 2015-09)
The structurally diverse nature of the 1,2-diphenylethylamine template provides
access to a range of substances for drug discovery work but some have attracted
attention as ‘research chemicals’. The most recent examples ...
Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
This study examined fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency among male (N=216) and female (N=198) Irish primary school pupils from Year 2 to Year 7 (9.0 ± 1.7 years). Following anthropometric measurements, participants ...
Pulsed-light reduces the toxicity of the algal toxin okadaic acid to freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex.
(Springer, 2018-01)
This constitutes the first study to report on the reduction in toxicity of the dinoflagellate algal toxin okadaic acid after novel pulsed light (PL) treatments where ecotoxicological assessment was performed using a ...
Occurrence and geodatabase mapping of three contaminants of emerging concern in receiving water and at effluent from waste water treatment plants - a first overview of the situation in the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
This constitutes the first study to address occurrence and geodatabase mapping of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCL) and the natural (17-beta-estradiol or E2) and synthetic (17-alpha-ethynylestradiol or EE2) ...
Analytical characterization and pharmacological evaluation of the new psychoactive substance 4-fluoromethylphenidate (4F-MPH) and differentiation between the (±)-threo- and (±)-erythro- diastereomers
(Wiley, 2017-03)
Misuse of (±)-threo-methylphenidate (methyl-2-phenyl-2-(piperidin-2-yl)acetate; Ritalin®; MPH) has long been acknowledged, but the appearance of MPH analogs in the form of 'research chemicals' has only emerged in more ...
Simultaneous validation of five activity monitors for use in adult populations.
(Wiley, 2017-12)
Numerous cut-points
exist to measure physical activity by accelerometry. The ability to
compare accelerometer findings from different devices from different locations may be
advantageous to researchers. This study aimed ...
A systematic literature review of reviews on techniques for physical activity measurement in adults: a DEDIPAC study.
(BioMed Central, 2018)
The links between increased participation in Physical Activity (PA) and improvements in health are well established. As this body of evidence has grown, so too has the search for measures of PA with high levels of ...
