Uniqueness Typing for Resource Management in Message-Passing Concurrency.
(2012)We view channels as the main form of resources in a message-passing programming paradigm. These channels need to be carefully managed in settings where resources are scarce. To study this problem, we extend the pi-calculus ... -
Modelling MAC-layer communications in wireless systems.
(Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland., 2012)We present a timed process calculus for modelling wireless networks in which individual stations broadcast and receive messages; moreover the broadcasts are subject to collisions. Based on a reduction semantics for the ... -
Relative modulus-relative density relationships in low density polymer-clay nanocomposite foams
(2011)Polymer-clay nanocomposite (PCN) foams represent an important class of new materials in structural engineering, biomedical fields and packaging. This paper reports the relative modulus-relative density relationship, a ... -
Establishing Identity for International Protection: Ireland
(Report prepared for the European Commission Directorate-General Home Affairs and published by the ES, 2013-02-28)This report examines the main challenges and practices related to the establishment of identity within the international protection and forced return of rejected applicant processes. -
Transforming cultures: Open Access and the research-teaching nexus
(2011)A cultural transformation is needed to overcome the paradox at the heart of academia, namely: the people involved in teaching and research communities are often the same people `just wearing different hats? and convergence ... -
The role of information and communications technology in research capacity building
(The Irish-African Partnership for Research Capacity Building, 2010)Reliable, accessible, high speed Internet and network connectivity is a fundamental requirement for the conduct of high quality, high-impact research today. High speed communications are part of the basic infrastructure ... -
Advances in the synthesis of ZnO nanomaterials for varistor devices
(2013)ZnO based varistors are widely used for overvoltage protection in many electrical and electronic circuits, at voltages ranging from a few to over a million volts. By careful control of the microstructure, through ... -

Socioeconomic Inequalities in Child Health in Ireland
(ESRI, 2013-04-26)There is extensive empirical evidence on the link between socio-economic status (SES) and child health outcomes. However, there is some international evidence that the SES gradient in child health is weaker for objective ... -
Income-Related Inequity in the Use of GP Services: A Comparison of Ireland and Scotland
(ESRI, 2013-04-26)Equity of access to health care is a key component of national and international health policy. The Irish health-care system is unusual in requiring the majority of the population to pay the full cost of GP care at the ... -

Are Consumer Decision-Making Phenomena a Fourth Market Failure?
(ESRI, 2013-04-30)This paper challenges the increasingly common view that the findings of behavioural economics constitute a fourth type of market failure. The market failure framework elevates the standard competitive market model to the ... -
Brain deletion of insulin receptor substrate 2 disrupts hippocampal synaptic plasticity and metaplasticity
(2012)Objective: Diabetes mellitus is associated with cognitive deficits and an increased risk of dementia, particularly in the elderly. These deficits and the corresponding neurophysiological structural and functional alterations ... -
Economic Vulnerability and Severity of Debt Problems: An Analysis of the Irish EU-SILC 2008
(ESRI, 2011)In this paper, using Ireland, where debt issues are of particular salience as a test case, we seek to understand the extent to which the measures currently employed as national indicators of poverty and social exclusion ... -
Mesenchymal stem cell fate is regulated by the composition and mechanical properties of Collagen Glycosaminoglycan scaffolds
(Elsevier, 2012)In stem cell biology, focus has recently turned to the influence of the intrinsic properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as structural, composition and elasticity, on stem cell differentiation. Utilising ... -
The Development of Non-Viral Gene-Activated Matrices for Bone Regeneration Using Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Collagen-Based Scaffolds
(2012)The healing potential of scaffolds for tissue engineering can be enhanced by combining them with genes to produce gene-activated matrices (GAMs) for tissue regeneration. We examined the potential of using polyethyleneimine ...
