Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents
(2015)Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown. We conducted ... -

Edge-carboxylated graphene nanoflakes from nitric acid oxidised arc-discharge material
(2010)Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with average diameters of 30 nm have been prepared by a single-step oxidation procedure using single-wall carbon nanotube arc-discharge material and nitric acid. The GNFs are predominately ... -
Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors
(2014)Herein we use Nitrogen-doped reduced Graphene Oxide (N-rGO) as the active material in supercapacitor electrodes. Building on a previous work detailing the synthesis of this material, electrodes were fabricated via ... -
Processing and characterisation of Mo6S2I8 nanowires
(2010)One-dimensional nanostructures based on the Mo?S?I system have recently aroused a lot of interest as a viable alternative to the ubiquitous carbon nanotube due to their uniform structure and electronic properties for a ... -
Single-step exfoliation and chemical functionalisation of graphene and hBN nanosheets with nickel phthalocyanine
(2012)Versatile routes to functionalise few-layer graphene and hBN with nickel phthalocyanine (Ni-Pc) were achieved using liquid phase exfoliation and sonication methods. EDX performed on the graphene//Ni-Pc specimen showed ... -
Gas phase controlled deposition of high quality large-area graphene films
(2010)A gas phase controlled graphene synthesis resembling a CVD process that does not critically depend on cooling rates is reported. The controllable catalytic CVD permits high quality large-area graphene formation with deft ... -
Controlled synthesis of transition metal dichalcogenide thin films for electronic applications
(2014)Two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are exciting materials for future applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and sensing. In particular, sulfides and selenides of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten ... -
Rediscovering the human and forgetting the natural in economics and finance
(2014)When did finance stop thinking about behaviour? The ascendency of the "rational man" model of finance has been strongly influenced by the notion of markets as being akin to natural systems. The question rapidly changes ... -
A collagen hydroxyapatite scaffold allows for binding and co-delivery of recombinant bone morphogenetic proteins and bisphosphonates
(2014)An emerging paradigm in orthopedics is that a bone-healing outcome is the product of the anabolic (bone-forming) and catabolic (bone-resorbing) outcomes. Recently, surgical and tissue engineering strat- egies have emerged ... -
Magnetic fields in electrochemistry: The Lorentz force. A mini-review
(2014)Some recent work on the flow induced by uniform or non-uniform magnetic fields acting on currents in an electrochemical cell is reviewed. The effects include modifying the structure and texture of electrodeposits including ... -
A biomimetic multi-layered collagen-based scaffold for osteochondral repair
(2014)Cartilage and osteochondral defects pose a significant challenge in orthopedics. Tissue engineering has shown promise as a potential method for the treatment of such defects; however, a long-lasting repair strategy has yet ... -
Brain atrophy in primary progressive aphasia involves the cholinergic basal forebrain and Ayala's nucleus
(2014)Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is characterized by left hemispheric fronto-temporal cortical atrophy. Evidence from anatomical studies suggests that the nucleus subputaminalis (NSP), a subnucleus of the cholinergic basal ... -
The effect of the 4-amino functionality on the photophysical and DNA binding properties of alkyl-pyridinium derived 1,8-naphthalimides
(2013)The synthesis and characterisation of two cationic pyridinium based 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives (2 and 3) are described and compared to those of compound 1. The photophysical properties of 2 and 3 are shown to ... -
Synthesis, spectroscopic and biological studies of a fluorescent Pt(ii) (terpy) based 1,8-naphthalimide conjugate as a DNA targeting agent.
(2013)The bi-functional complex [PtII(terpy)(py-naphth)](NO 3)2(1), incorporating both 2,2?:6?, 2??-terpyridine and 4-N,N?-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide moieties, displays a high binding affinity for DNA as well as displaying ... -
In silico prediction of the mechanobiological response of arterial tissue: application to angioplasty and stenting
(2011)One way to restore physiological blood flow to occluded arteries involves the deformation of plaque using an intravascular balloon and preventing elastic recoil using a stent. Angioplasty and stent implantation cause ... -
Compositional reasoning for weighted Markov decision processes
(2013)Weighted Markov decision processes (MDPs) have long been used to model quantitative aspects of systems in the presence of uncertainty. However, much of the literature on such MDPs takes a monolithic approach, by modelling ... -
Transitions In and Out of Unemployment Among Young People in the Irish Recession
(ESRI, 2013-09-13)Young people have been hit hard by unemployment during the Irish recession. While much research has been undertaken to study the effects of the recession on overall labour market dynamics, little is known about the specific ...
