Prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation of PrP(Sc), an aberrantly folded isoform of the host protein PrP(C). Specific forms of synthetic molecules known as dendrimers are able to eliminate protease-resistant ...
This study explores influences on flood frequency distributions in Irish rivers. Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) type I distributions are recommended in Ireland for estimating flood quantiles. This paper presents the ...
This is a study of some of the economic and demographic determinants of the decline in employment among farmer and farmers' relatives between 1951 and 1961 in the Republic of Ireland. Net migration and employment decline ...
This paper provides new evidence on the wage gap between informal and formal salary workers
in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico. We use rich datasets that allow us to define informality in a
relatively comparable fashion ...

This paper examines the capital structure of 117 new technology-based firms in the Irish software sector. In apparent contradiction to the pecking order hypothesis (POH), most external finance is private equity, and debt ...
A three-tiered, enterprise, GIS architecture offers a robust, efficient, and secure platform to potentially revolutionize disaster management by enabling support of all of the phases of governmental activity that must occur ...
We present an analytical model of the dynamics of spatial harmonics of holographic grating profiles, taking into consideration record mechanisms (polymerization and components diffusion), absorption, interference pattern ...
The spectrum of atmospheric motions is vast, encompassing phenomena having periods ranging
from seconds to millennia. The motions of interest to the forecaster typically have time-scales of a day or longer, but the ...

There are a surprising number of initiatives taking place in Europe which encourage older people to use ICT and in this way promote e-learning.
Training is vital for the successful uptake of ICTs and the future of e-learning ...
We analyze non-cooperative R&D investment by two firms that already hold patents that they can assert against each other with probabilistic success. The market structure results from stochastic innovation and patent ...
This presentation presents an overview of a conceptual model for the assessment approval and license of kinship carers. While is it designed for an Irish context, it has potential for making a valid contribution to ...
Waterworks sludge continues to be an inescapable by-product of the potable water treatment process. Accordingly, final disposal of the sludge remains one of the most significant pressing problems for the potable water ...

This paper estimates the relationship between handedness and social
adjustment. In addition to binary measures of hand preference, we also use
a continuous measure of hand skill. Outcomes at ages 7, 11 and 16 are
studied. ...
This study addresses the landscape context of Atlantic rock art, comparing three study areas in Ireland; the Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal, the Louth/Monaghan area, and the Dingle Peninsula,Kerry. Recent dating evidence ...
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used
to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has
recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community. ...
