• A pilot investigation into the effects of electrical muscle stimulation training on physical fitness in an adult cystic fibrosis population. 

  Holcroft, Lorna ; Coughlan, Garrett ; Crowe, Louis ; Caulfield, Brian ; Nicholson, T. ; Barry, P. ; Gallagher, C. G. (2010-04)

  Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting genetic disease in caucasians. Skeletal muscle weakness and exercise intolerance is prevalent in people with cystic fibrosis. Although higher levels of fitness have ...
• The physiological effects of low level electrical stimulation on short term recovery from supra maximal exercise bouts : a case study. 

  Malone, John ; Coughlan, Garrett ; Crowe, Louis ; Caulfield, Brian (2010-04)

  Inadequate recovery from short-term, high-intensity bouts of exercise can be a limiting factor to optimal sporting performance [1]. Previous research investigating recovery from intense exercise using various intervention ...
• A pilot investigation into the effects of electrical muscle stimulation training on physical fitness in an adult cystic fibrosis population 

  Holcroft, Lorna ; Coughlan, Garrett ; Caulfield, Brian ; Crowe, Louis ; Barry, P. ; Nicholson, T. ; Gallagher, C. G. (2010-04)

  Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting genetic disease in Caucasians. [1] Progressive respiratory and gastro intestinal disease are the predominant clinical manifestations of the disease. As a consequence ...
• Eutrophication from agricultural sources : a comparison of SWAT, HSPF and SHETRAN/GOPC phosphorus models for three Irish catchments - Final Report 

  Nasr, Ahmed Elssidig ; Bruen, Michael (University College Dublin. Centre for Water Resources Research, 2006-09)

  Phosphorous has been implicated as the primary cause of the deterioration of surface water quality in Ireland. Extensive water quality surveys revealed that diffuse sources (runoff and subsurface flows) from agricultural ...
• Holographic photopolymer materials : nonlocal polymerization-driven diffusion under nonideal kinetic conditions 

  Kelly, John V. ; O'Neill, Feidhlim T. ; Sheridan, John T. ; Neipp, Cristian ; Gallego, Sergi ; Ortuño, M. (Optical Society of America, 2005-02-01)

  The kinetics of photosensitive polymer holographic recording materials are examined assuming a material that exhibits nonideal kinetic behavior. Previously, a linear relationship between monomer concentration and polymerization ...
• Combining structural analysis and multi-objective criteria for evolutionary architectural design 

  Byrne, Jonathan ; Fenton, Michael ; Hemberg, Erik ; McDermott, James ; O'Neill, Michael ; Shotton, Elizabeth ; McNally, Ciaran (Springer, 2011)

  This study evolves and categorises a population of conceptual designs by their ability to handle physical constraints. The design process involves a trade-off between form and function. The aesthetic considerations of the ...
• Development, implementation and evaluation of a multidisciplinary cancer rehabilitation programme : The CANSURVIVOR Project : meeting post-treatment cancer survivors’ needs 

  Ivers, Mary E. ; Dooley, Barbara A. ; Bates, Ursula (Health Services Executive, 2009)

  Cancer survivor numbers in Ireland are increasing due to the success of modern treatments. Although most survivors have a good quality of life not all survivors return to 'normal' after treatment. The HSE funded CANSURVIVOR ...
• A simple artificial regression based test of the fit of binary choice models 

  Murphy, Anthony (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-10)

  A simple artificial regression based test of the fit of the binary choice models is derived. the test statistic is likely to have reasonable small sample properties since it is not based on the outer product gradient form ...
• Therapeutic exergaming 

  O'Huiginn, Brendan ; Smyth, Barry ; Coughlan, Garrett ; Fitzgerald, Diarmaid ; Caulfield, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2009-06)

  Exercise therapy is prescribed by physiotherapists and rehabilitation practitioners as part of the treatment programme for many movement impairment disorders. Poor adherence and inadequate exercise technique often result ...
