Directed self-assembly of PS-b-PMMA block copolymer using HSQ lines for translational alignment
(2013)Block copolymers (BCPs) are seen as a possible cost effective complementary technique to traditional lithography currently used in the semiconductor industry. This unconventional approach has received increased attention ... -
Immunological indicators of coeliac disease activity are not altered by long-term oats challenge
(2013)Coeliac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy that develops in geneti- cally susceptible individuals. The disease exhibits many features of an autoimmune disorder. These include the production of highly specific ... -
Citrullination as early-stage indicator of cell response to single-walled carbon nanotubes.
(2013)Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been widely explored as potential technologies for information systems and medical applications. The impact of SWCNTs on human health is of prime concern, if SWCNTs have a ... -
Cyclic nucleotide dependent dephosphorylation of regulator of G-protein signaling 18 in human platelets.
(2013)Regulator of G-protein signaling 18 (RGS18) is a GTPase-activating protein that turns off Gq signaling in platelets. RGS18 is regulated by binding to the adaptor protein 14-3-3 via phosphorylated serine residues S49 and ... -
A framework for assessing health system resilience in an economic crisis: Ireland as a test case
(2013)BACKGROUND: The financial crisis that hit the global economy in 2007 was unprecedented in the post war era. In general the crisis has created a difficult environment for health systems globally. The purpose of this paper ... -
Size and space controlled hexagonal arrays of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanodots: magnetic studies and application Scientific reports
(2013)Highly dense hexagonally arranged iron oxide nanodots array were fabricated using PS-b-PEO self-assembled patterns. The copolymer molecular weight, composition and choice of annealing solvent/s allows dimensional and ... -
Rapid, Brushless Self-assembly of a PS-b-PDMS Block Copolymer for Nanolithography
(2014)Block copolymers (BCP) are highly promising self-assembling precursors for scalable nanolithography. Very regular BCP nanopatterns can be used as on-chip etch masks. The first step in the processing of BCP thin films is ... -
Growth and Characterisation of Nanocarbon Structures
(Trinity College Dublin, 2010)Nanocarbon materials have come to the forefront of research in recent years due to their outstanding properties and wide potential applications. Production of these materials by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is preferable ... -
Keeping Them in the Game: Taking Up and Dropping Out of Sport and Exercise in Ireland
(ESRI, 2013)This report presents the most comprehensive statistical analysis of active participation in sport and physical exercise in Ireland undertaken to date. We employ three large, nationally representative datasets, which ... -
Further Education and Training in Ireland: Past, Present and Future
(ESRI, 2014)The establishment of An Seirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna (SOLAS) has prompted an assessment of the nature of current further education and training (FET) and an exploration of future directions. This ... -
Plasma-Assisted Simultaneous Reduction and Nitrogen Doping of Graphene Oxide Nanosheets
(2013)An environmentally benign and scalable route for the production of gram scale quantities of nitrogen-doped graphene using a downstream microwave plasma source is reported. Simultaneous reduction and doping of graphene oxide ... -
Functionalization of graphene surfaces with downstream plasma treatments
(2013)We report on an adjustable process for the functionalization of graphene surfaces with a downstream plasma source. The parameters of oxygen plasma treatments are modified such that oxygenated functionalities can be added ... -
Electrochemical ascorbic acid sensor based on DMF-exfoliated graphene
(2010)This paper describes the electron transfer properties of graphene nano-sheets (GNSs) immobilised on pyrolysed photoresist film (PPF) electrodes. The former are produced by the dispersion and exfoliation of graphite in ... -
Robust Automated Detection of Microstructural White Matter Degeneration in Alzheimer's Disease Using Machine Learning Classification of Multicenter DTI Data
(2013)Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based assessment of white matter fiber tract integrity can support the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of DTI as a biomarker, however, depends on its applicability in a ... -
Perspectives for multimodal neurochemical and imaging biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease.
(2013)The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is presently going through a paradigm shift from disease categories to dimensions and toward the implementation of biomarkers to support identification of predementia and even ... -
Sexual Dimorphism in Healthy Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A DTI Study.
(2012)Previous PET and MRI studies have indicated that the degree to which pathology translates into clinical symptoms is strongly dependent on sex with women more likely to express pathology as a diagnosis of AD, whereas men ...
