Automated methods of neonatal EEG seizure detection attempt to highlight the evolving, stereotypical, pseudo-periodic, nature of EEG seizure while rejecting the nonstationary, modulated, coloured stochastic background ...

This paper deals with the implications of considering a first-order approximation of the circuit nonlinearities in circuit simulation and design. The Colpitts oscillator is taken as a case study and the occurrence of ...

Objective: To assess the efficacy of non-speech oral motor treatment (NSOMT) for treating developmental speech sound disorders.

This study compared tongue palate contact patterns for oral stops (/t/, /d/) with those for the nasal stop /n/ in order to provide normative data for diagnosing and treating individuals with speech disorders. Electropalatographic ...

This paper presents a normalization-based approach to the mobility analysis of spatial compliant multi-beam modules to address the dimensional-inhomogeneity issue of motion/load. Firstly, two spatial non-tilted and tilted ...

The objective of this paper is to identify the most significant travel behaviours and characteristics of North American coach tourists visiting Ireland. The data, identifying travel behaviours and characteristics, such as ...

The recognition and protection of constitutional rights is a fundamental precept. In Ireland, the right to marry is provided for in the equality provisions of Article 40 of the Irish Constitution (1937). However, lesbians ...

We numerically investigate a novel 40 Gbps OOK to AMI all-optical modulation format converter employing an SOA-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer.  We demonstrate operation with a 27-1 PRBS and explain the phase modulation's ...

Body Sensor Network (BSN) technology is seeing a rapid emergence in application areas such as health, fitness and sports monitoring. Current BSN wireless sensors typically operate on a single frequency band (e.g. utilizing ...

Anodic etching of n-type InP in KOH electrolytes under suitable conditions leads to the formation of a nanoporous region beneath a ~40 nm dense near-surface layer [1]. The early stages of the process involve the formation ...

Aim and objectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate open system endotracheal suctioning (ETS) practices of critical care nurses. Specific objectives were to examine nurses' practices prior to, during and ...

Where a pregnant woman experiences trauma or has acute surgical needs there are additional concerns for the well being of both the woman and her foetus. This article explores obstetric procedures for the pregnant woman and ...

Julius Caesar's second issue of coinage in 48BC during his civil-war with Pompey consisted of an aureus, three slightly different varieties of denarius, and a quinarius, all displaying the same basic reverse-type, the ...

A hybrid methodology is proposed for use in low power, safety critical wireless sensor network applications, where quality-of-service orientated transceiver output power control is required to operate in parallel with radio ...

It is generally accepted at present that the emperor Julian (360-63) was reburied in the Church of the Holy Apostles at Constantinople at some unknown date after his initial burial outside Tarsus in Cilicia in 363. This ...

A model of the linear R-2R ladder digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is developed in terms of the ratios of the effective resistances at the nodes of the ladder. This formulation demonstrates clearly why an infinite number ...

Background A frequent problem in computational modeling is the interconversion of chemical structures between different formats. While standard interchange formats exist (for example, Chemical Markup Language) and de facto ...

Background The Blue Obelisk movement was established in 2005 as a response to the lack of Open Data, Open Standards and Open Source (ODOSOS) in chemistry. It aims to make it easier to carry out chemistry research by promoting ...
