  • The C/A polymorphism in intron 11 of the XPC gene plays a crucial role in the modulation of an individual’s susceptibility to sporadic colorectal cancer 
    Gil, Justyna; Ramsey, David; Stembalska, Agnieszka; Karpinski, Pawel; Pesz, Karolina A; Laczmanska, Izabela; Leszczynski, Przemyslaw; Grzebieniak, Zygmunt; Sasiadek, Maria Malgorzata (Springer-Verlag, 2012)
    Background: Epidemiological data show that colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most frequent malignancy worldwide. The involvement of “minor impact genes” such as XME and DNA-repair genes in the etiology of sporadic ...
  • Can large oceanic vortices be stable? 
    Benilov, Eugene (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018)
    Observations show that radii of oceanic eddies often exceed the Rossby radius of deformation, whereas theoretical studies suggest that such vortices should be unstable. The present paper resolves this paradox by presenting ...
  • Cascade dynamics on complex networks. 
    Hackett, Adam W. (University of Limerick, 2011)
    The network topologies on which many natural and synthetic systems are built provide ideal settings for the emergence of complex phenomena. One well-studied manifestation of this, called a cascade or avalanche, is observed ...
  • Cascades on a class of clustered random networks 
    Hackett, Adam W.; Melnik, Sergey; Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2011)
    We present an analytical approach to determining the expected cascade size in a broad range of dynamical models on the class of random networks with arbitrary degree distribution and nonzero clustering introduced previously ...
  • Cascades on clique-based graphs 
    Hackett, Adam W.; Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2013)
    We present an analytical approach to determining the expected cascade size in a broad range of dynamical models on the class of highly clustered random graphs introduced by Gleeson [J. P. Gleeson, Phys. Rev. E 80, 036107 ...
  • Cervical dystonia: a disorder of the midbrain network for covert attentional orienting. 
    Hutchinson, Michael; Isa, Tadashi; Molloy, Anna; Kimmich, Okka; Williams, Laura; Molloy, Fiona; Moore, Helena; Healy, Daniel G.; Lynch, Tim; Walsh, Cathal Dominic; Butler, John; Reilly, Richard B.; Walsh, Richard; O'Riordan, Sean (Frontiers Media, 2014)
    While the pathogenesis of cervical dystonia remains unknown, recent animal and clinical experimental studies have indicated its probable mechanisms. Abnormal temporal discrimination is a mediational endophenotype of cervical ...
  • Characterizing the analogy between hyperbolic embedding and community structure of complex networks 
    Faqeeh, Ali; Osat, Saeed; Radicchi, Filippo (American Physical Society, 2018)
    We show that the community structure of a network can be used as a coarse version of its embedding in a hidden space with hyperbolic geometry. The finding emerges from a systematic analysis of several real-world and ...
  • The choice of reference subclass in categorial regression models matters 
    MacKenzie, Gilbert; Peng, Defen (2014)
    In the parametric regression models with categorical covariates, it is well known that many key quantities of interest are invariant to the choice of reference subclass. However, surprisingly, not all quantities are ...
  • Coffee extraction kinetics in a well mixed system 
    Moroney, Kevin M.; Lee, William T.; O'Brien, Stephen B.G.; Suijver, Freek; Marra, Johan (SpringerOpen, 2016)
    The extraction of coffee solubles from roasted and ground coffee is a complex operation, the understanding of which is key to the brewing of high quality coffee. This complexity stems from the fact that brewing of coffee ...
  • Comment on diffusion in biased turbulence 
    Gleeson, James P. (American Physical Society, 2002)
    Recently Vlad et al. [Phys. Rev. E. 63, 066304 (2001)] applied the method of decorrelation trajectories to the transport of tracers in stochastic velocity fields with constant drift, and found that the average ...
  • Comparative effectiveness of conservative interventions for nonspecific chronic spinal pain: physical, behavioral/psychologically informed, or combined? A systematic review and meta-analysis 
    O'Keeffe, Mary; Purtill, Helen; Kennedy, Norelee; Conneely, Mairead; Hurley, John; O'Sullivan, Peter B.; Dankaerts, Wim; O'Sullivan, Kieran (Elsevier, 2016)
    Nonspecific chronic spinal pain (NSCSP) is highly disabling. Current conservative rehabilitation commonly includes physical and behavioral interventions, or a combination of these approaches. Physical interventions aim to ...
  • A comparison of hand force and starting block-based response times in the sprint start 
    Harrison, Andrew J.; Barr, Thomas; Hayes, Kevin (ISBS, 2018)
    This study provided a method comparison of sprint start response times (RTs) obtained using a custom designed hand force plate with block response-times (RT) from an International Association of Athletic Federation (IAAF) ...
  • Comparison of infrared coagulation and rubber band ligation for first and second degree haemorrhoids: a randomised prospective clinical trial 
    Templeton, John L; Spence, R.A.J.; Kennedy, T.L.; Parks, T.G.; MacKenzie, Gilbert; Hanna, W.A (BMJ Group, 1983)
    One hundred and thirty seven previously untreated outpatients with first and second degree haemorrhoids were allocated at random to treatment by infrared coagulation (n=66) or rubber band ligation (n= 71). Complete ...
  • A comparison of non-PH and PH gamma frailty models 
    Blagojevic, Milica; MacKenzie, Gilbert; Do Ha, II (IWSM, 2003)
    The non-PH Canonical Time Dependent Logistic survival regression model described by MacKenzie (1996, 2002), is extended by incorporating a multiplicative Gamma frailty component into the hazard function. The resulting model ...
  • A competing risk analysis of factors related to long-term incidence of CHD 
    MacKenzie, Gilbert; Greig, Mary; Hay, Iris; Pemberton, John (BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)
    Background The 5-year follow-up results for the 1202 middle-aged men prospective study of CHD incidence were published in 1980. This paper extends the follow-up, relating the development of CHD to ten risk factors. Methods The ...
  • Competition between short-ranged attraction and short-ranged repulsion in crowded configurational space: A lattice model description 
    Cellai, Davide; Cuevas, Hector; Lawlor, Aonghus; McCullagh, Gavin D; Dawson, Kenneth A (American Physical Society, 2004)
    We describe a simple nearest-neighbor Ising model that is capable of supporting a gas, liquid, and crystal, in characteristic relationship to each other. As the parameters of the model are varied, one obtains characteri ...
  • Competition-induced criticality in a model of meme popularity 
    Gleeson, James P.; Ward, Jonathan A; O'Sullivan, Kevin P.; Lee, William T. (American Physical Society, 2014)
    Heavy-tailed distributions of meme popularity occur naturally in a model of meme diffusion on social networks. Competition between multiple memes for the limited resource of user attention is identified as the mechanism ...
  • The complex system of problem solving - providing the conditions to develop proficiency 
    Guerin, Aoife (University of Limerick, 2017)
    Problem solving in mathematics has been a central topic of research in mathematics education, stemming mainly from Pólya’s (1945) work on problem solving heuristics (Lesh and Zawojewski, 2007). Despite the attention this ...
  • Concurrency-induced transitions in epidemic dynamics on temporal networks 
    Onaga, Tomokatsu; Gleeson, James P.; Masuda, Naoki (American Physical Society, 2017)
    Social contact networks underlying epidemic processes in humans and animals are highly dynamic. The spreading of infections on such temporal networks can differ dramatically from spreading on static networks. We theoretically ...
