Can learning organisation maturity be interpreted as a predictor of ICT integration levels. A recent empirical study in a higher education setting in Ireland.
(EDEN: European Distance and E-Learning Network, 2008-06)
This study is set in an era when higher education institutions, similar to private business organisations are required to adapt and change at an increasingly frenetic rate to ever more intrusive environmental stimuli which ...
Advanced therapies and the outer limits of DNA regulation: new horizons for patents or a scaffold too far?
(Oxford Academic, 2008-04)
This Regulation seeks to regulate existing and future advanced therapy medicinal products intended for the market in Member States, being either prepared industrially or manufactured by a method involving an industrial ...
Evidence of lethal and sublethal injury in food‐borne bacterial pathogens exposed to high‐intensity pulsed‐plasma gas discharges.
(Wiley, 2008-01)
Aims: To apply scanning electron microscopy, image analysis and a fluorescent viability stain to assess lethal and sublethal injury in food‐borne bacteria exposed to pulsed‐plasma gas discharges (PPGD).
Methods and ...
Investigation of critical inter-related factors affecting the efficacy of pulsed light for inactivating clinically relevant bacterial pathogens
(Wiley, 2009-08)
Aims: To investigate critical electrical and biological factors governing the efficacy of pulsed light (PL) for the in vitro inactivation of bacteria isolated from the clinical environment. Development of this alternative ...
Pulsed-plasma gas-discharge inactivation of microbial pathogens in chilled poultry wash water.
(International Association for Food Protection, 2007-12)
A pulsed-plasma gas-discharge (PPGD) system was developed for the novel decontamination of chilled poultry washwater. Treatment of poultry wash water in the plasma generation chamber for up to 24 s at 4C reduced Escherichia ...
Studies on the inactivation of medically important Candida species on agar surfaces using pulsed light.
(2009-07)
Development of a pulsed-light (PL) approach to inanimate surface decontamination
is timely, as the incidence of yeast-related infections in healthcare remains
unacceptably high. Critical electrical and biological factors ...
Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
(Elsevier, 2009-02-23)
Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ...
An investigation into possible sources of phthalate contamination in the environmental analytical laboratory.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2007-02)
A study of common laboratory equipment and components was performed in order to identify sources of contamination of phthalates prior to testing environmental samples for such compounds. A screening study revealed significant ...
Studies on the susceptibility of different culture morphotypes of Listeria monocytogenes to uptake and survival in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009-09)
This study demonstrated that atypical virulent filaments of Listeria monocytogenes
(rough variant type II and designated FR for this study), isolated from clinical
specimens or generated during exposure to pulsed-plasma ...
Novel isosorbide di-ester compounds as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase.
(Elsevier, 2008-09-25)
We report herein that a variety of isosorbide di-esters, previously reported to be novel substrates for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, EC 3.1.1.8), are in fact inhibitors of the homologous enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), ...
