Colonisation of artificially cleared Laminaria digitata (Huds.) Lamour. by the blue-rayed limpet Helcion pellucidum (L.) (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
(1996)The blue-rayed Helcion pellucidum is a herbivorous mollusc found on intertidal and sublittoral laminarian algae. -
Marine fauna of county Wexford, Ireland: the fauna of rocky shores and sandy beaches
(The Marine Institute, 1998)Information accumulated during 20 years of investigations on the coast of County Wexford is summarised. Topics include shore descriptions, faunal records, transectal surveys on rocky shores and sandy beaches, cryptofaunal ... -
Crustaceans and biodiversity crisis
(1998)Talitrid amphipod crustaceans were recorded at about 240 sites around ireland using both published records and recent seashore surveys. Five species were present, the beachfleas Orchestia gammarellus and O. mediterranea, ... -
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ... -
Population dynamics, age, growth and maturity of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled between 2000-2002 off the west coast of Ireland
(Marine Institute, 2006)The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sale (Microstomus kin), from commercial catches off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), was determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. ... -
Bivalve ligament - a new source of DNA for historical studies
(Aquatic Biology, 2007-12)Bivalves are aquatic animals enclosed in 2 rigid shells that are held together by a hinge ligament. Features of the shell valves are important in taxonomy, and museums hold global collections of catalogued fossil, historical ... -
Conventional, regulatory, and unconventional T cells in the immunologic response to helicobacter pylori
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Infection by the gastroduodenal pathogen Helicobacter pylori elicits a complex immunologic response in the mucosa involving neutrophils, plasma cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, of which T cells are the principal ... -
Fast and accurate genome anchoring using fuzzy hash maps
(2011)Although hash-based approaches to sequence alignment and genome assembly are long established, their utility is predicated on the rapid identification of exact k-mers from a hash-map or similar data structure. We describe ... -
A java library for fuzzy string matching
(2012)We describe the design and structure of a Java library for approximate string matching. The API provides a rich variety of flexible and extensible fuzzy data structures, including lists, tries and maps that support approximate ... -
Effect of cooking on polyphenol bioaccessibility and digestibility of porridge oats.

Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ... -
Implications of lymphocyte anergy to glycolipids in multiple sclerosis (MS): iNKT cells may mediate the MS infectious trigger
(2013)Immunogenic lipids may play key roles in host defenses against infection and in generating autoimmune inflammation and organ-specific damage. In multiple sclerosis (MS) there are unequivocal autoimmune features and ... -
Algal-oil supplements are a viable alternative to fish-oil supplements in terms of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA)
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2013-01) -
A comparison of indirect calorimeters' measures of resting metabolic rate.
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2013-01) -
An integrated approach to comparative assembly
(2014)We describe a novel approach to comparative assembly that directly integrates anchoring alignments into the contig assembly process, enabling the extension of contig construction through the boundaries of repeat nodes in ... -
Approximate k-mer matching using fuzzy hash maps
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)We present a fuzzy technique for approximate k-mer matching that combines the speed of hashing with the sensitivity of dynamic programming. Our approach exploits the collision detection mechanism used by hash maps, unifying ... -
iNKT-cells and their ligands: focus on multiple sclerosis
(2015)The cells of the immune system are broadly divided into those that belong to the innate arm of immunity and those that belong to the adaptive immune system(1) The innate immune cells include macrophages, dendritic cells ... -
A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Reward Transformations in Multi-Objective Stochastic Games
(2017)Reward shaping has been proposed as a means to address the credit assignment problem in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Two popular shaping methods are Potential-Based Reward Shaping and di erence rewards, and both have been ... -
Analysing the Effects of Reward Shaping in Multi-Objective Stochastic Games
(2017-05)The majority ofMulti-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) implementations aim to optimise systems with respect to a single objective, despite the fact that many real world problems are inherently multi-objective in nature. ...
