Adding value to under-utilised fish roe in Ireland: a comparison of physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of salted air-dried roe from Irish pollock (Pollachius pollachius) with commercial mullet and cod roe products (Mugil cephalus and Gadus morhua).
(2019)In Ireland, fish roe is generally either discarded at sea or processed as low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing a fish roe product to add value to this currently underutilised ... -
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) -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. -
A comparison of indirect calorimeters' measures of resting metabolic rate.

Comparison of physico chemical and sensory properties of innovative fish spread emulsions manufactured using herring (Clupea harengus) milt, cod (Gadus morhua) roe and plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) roe.
(2020-12)Typically, in Ireland, male and female marine fish gonads are either discarded at sea or processed onshore for low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing emulsion-based ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Developing Creativity in Computer Science Initial Teacher Education through Design Thinking
(ACM, 2020-09-03)Design thinking is a valuable component in teacher education enabling the development of creativity amongst the cohort. Studies have been developed to capture the effects of discipline specific design thinking, however ... -
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 ... -
Effect of cooking on polyphenol bioaccessibility and digestibility of porridge oats.

Exploring applications of deep reinforcement learning for real-world autonomous driving systems
(2019-01)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has become increasingly powerful in recent years, with notable achievements such as Deepmind’s AlphaGo. It has been successfully deployed in commercial vehicles like Mobileye’s path ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
