Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 genes are associated with milk production, body condition score and fertility traits in dairy cows.
(GMR, 2011-08-26)
The somatotrophic axis (GH-IGF) is a key regulator
of animal growth and development, affecting performance traits that
include milk production, growth rate, body composition, and fertility.
The aim of this study was to ...
Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(EuroDyn, 2011-07)
The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper.
Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) gene are associated with performance in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle.
(Frontiers, 2011-02-16)
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been shown to be associated with fertility, growth,
and development in cattle. The aim of this study was to (1) identify novel single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine ...
Lateral loads applied by pedestrians at normal walking velocities.
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
The issue of horizontal loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers
in the past decade, primarily due to notable instances of excessive vibration of structures subjected ...
Parametric pedagogy: integrating parametric CAD in Irish post-primary schools.
(2011)
Technology education in Irish post-primary schools is
undergoing significant change. In recent years the syllabi
of all technology-related subjects have been revised. A
new subject, Design and Communication Graphics, ...

(American Society for Engineering Education, 2011)
At a time when concept driven competencies are perceived to be critical in redefining
effective technological education, the introduction of Design and Communication
Graphics at senior cycle in Irish high schools has ...
The influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading.
(Dolnoslaskie Wydawnictwo Edukacyjne, 2011)
Walking trials have been carried out on a rigid surface mounted with a force plate in order to determine the influence of
selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading. This paper presents the results of this ...
Studies on the relationship between pulsed UV light irradiation and the simultaneous occurrence of molecular and cellular damage in clinically-relevant Candida albicans
(Elsevier, 2011-02)
This constitutes the first study to report on the relationship between pulsed UV light (PL) irradiation and the simultaneous occurrence of molecular and cellular damage in clinical strains of Candida albicans. Microbial ...
The current state of cooking in Ireland: the relationship between cooking skills and food choice.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2011-06)
This research investigated the attitudes of Irish people to food to ascertain whether the
acquisition of cooking skills influences food choice. Caraher et al. (1999) report on the
state of cooking in England noted that ...
Defining established and emerging microbial risks in the aquatic environment: current knowledge, implications, and outlooks.
(Hindawi, 2011)
This timely review primarily addresses important but presently undefined microbial risks to public health and to the natural environment. It specifically focuses on current knowledge, future outlooks and offers some potential ...
