DCD Algorithm: Architectures, FPGA Implementations and Applications
… solutions. The dichotomous coordinate descent (DCD) algorithm allows linear systems of equations to be solved with high computational efficiency. It is a multiplication-free and division-free technique and, therefore, it is well suited for hardware implementation. In this thesis, we present …

Developmental coordination disorder: a contextualised perspective
… project investigated the lived experience of DCD in the daily lives of young adult students. The participants were eight students aged between 19 and 22 years of age who self-reported DCD. Semi-structured interviews were utilised to capture the students’ accounts of their daily lives and the …

Motor coordination among Greek children: from assessment to intervention
Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) describes children with a difficulty to acquire age-specific motor skills. Although there is a significant body of literature addressing developmental and cognitive issues in children with DCD, few studies have actually examined the associations …

Executive Function in Children With and Without Developmental Coordination Disorder
… with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have motor difficulties which impact their everyday activities. Difficulties with Executive Function (EF) are commonly reported with relationships between EF and motor skills poorly understood. A key component of EF is Inhibition, important for …

The roles of anxiety, self-concept, self-efficacy, resilience and motor control in the perceptions and actions of adults with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is characterised by impairment of motor skills with negative impacts on everyday life. Although it continues into adulthood in approximately 70% of cases, research on adults with DCD remains limited. This thesis investigated the roles of and relationships …

Left ventricular structure in children with developmental coordination disorder
Developmental coordination disorder (p-DCD) is a neuro-developmental disorder featuring impairment in developing motor coordination. This study examined left ventricular mass (LVM) in children with p-DCD (n=63) and controls (n=63). LVM was measured using echocardiography. Body composition was …

Developmental coordination disorder: a focus on handwriting
Background. Developmental coordination disorder (DCD), is the term used to refer to children who present with motor coordination difficulties, unexplained by a general-medical condition, intellectual disability or known neurological impairment. Difficulties with handwriting are often included in …

The role of self-regulation in motor learning : exploring the self-regulated motor performance of children with developmental coordination disorder
… with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) struggle to perforn1 everyday motor tasks and, as a result, experience difficulty coping with the demands at home and school. Recently, a cognitive learning paradigm has been applied to studying the nature of the problems experienced by …

Kinematics of developmental coordination disorder : motor control of functional movement skills
… with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have problems with the performance of all sorts of activities that require motor coordination. These movement difficulties often interfere with the children’s academic achievements and they also inhibit normal participation to activities of …

The Development of Chitosan Microspheres for Use as Agrochemical Delivery or Agropollutant Adsorption Systems
… for the nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD) and the development of a hydrogel bead adsorption system for the herbicide, paraquat. The hydrogel bead was based on the biopolymer chitosan which was protonated in order for it to be soluble in water. The aqueous chitosan solution was then …

Discovery and Characterization of Rare Genomic Copy Number Variants in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by functional motor performance deficits. Recent studies have demonstrated that the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders can partially be explained by rare copy number variants (CNVs). To assess the …

Walking patterns of individuals with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is defined by the DSM-5 as an impairment of motor coordination significantly affecting everyday activities. Given the importance of walking to access everyday activities, and the constraints to movement experienced by individuals with DCD, this area of …

Computationally Efficient Multiuser and MIMO Detection based on Dichotomous Coordinate Descent Iterations
… are based on Dichotomous Coordinate Descent (DCD) iterations, which are multiplication and division free, and therefore are attractive for real-time implementation. We propose a box-constrained DCD algorithm, and apply it to multiuser detection. We also design an FPGA architecture of the …

The physiological changes of circulatory death with respect to organ donation
Donation of organs after circulatory death (DCD) is re-emerging as an important source of organs for transplantation worldwide, and in the United Kingdom DCD donors comprise 39% of all deceased organ donors. However, organs from DCD organ donors work less well after transplantation than those from …

Behavioral and Functional Brain Correlates of Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Case-Control Study
… of fine-motor skill impairment in children with DCD. Following a formal assessment of both fine and gross motor skills, we used MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to measure brain activation patterns in a single child with DCD and a single age-matched control subject (both 7 years of age) while …

The Efficacy of a Task-Orientated Group-Intervention Programme for Children with Specific Learning Disorder with Co-morbid Developmental Coordination Disorder
… that Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), presenting as a disorder affecting motor skills, may be co-morbid with other neurodevelopmental conditions, including SLD. Children with SLD and co-morbid DCD (SLD/DCD) are considered a unique group. Learners with SLD/DCD experience a …
