Activation of stress-related signalling pathway in human cells upon SiO2 nanoparticles exposure as an early indicator of cytotoxicity
(2011)Background: Nanomaterials such as SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2NP) are finding increasing applications in the biomedical and biotechnological fields such as disease diagnostics, imaging, drug delivery, food, cosmetics and ... -
IL-1alpha and HMGB1 mediate hippocampal dysfunction in SIGIRR-deficient mice
(2011)Single-Ig-interleukin-1 related receptor (SIGIRR) is a member of the interleukin (IL)-1/Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. It negatively regulates inflammation, rendering SIGIRR-/- mice more susceptible to inflammatory ... -
Transitions to Long-Term Unemployment Risk Among Young People: Evidence from Ireland
(ESRI, 2011-07-13)Many young people have short spells of unemployment during their transition from school to work; however, some often get trapped in unemployment and risk becoming long-term unemployed (OECD, 2009). Much research has been ... -
Do Domestic Firms Benefit from Foreign Presence and Competition in Irish Services Sectors?
(ESRI, 2011-07-14)This paper examines whether local firms benefit from the presence of foreign-owned firms in three Irish market-services sectors between 2001 and 2007. I investigate whether domestic firms differ in their ability to benefit ... -
The Cost of Natural Gas Shortages in Ireland
(ESRI, 2011-08-04)This paper investigates the economic implications of disruptions of one to ninety days to the supply of natural gas in Ireland. We assess the impact of a hypothetical gas supply disruption in both winter and summer in 2008 ... -
Prevalence and clinical course of depression: A review
(2011)Depression is one of the leading causes of disease worldwide. Historically conceived as either a disease of the mind or of the brain, treatment options followed this aetiology. Current diagnostic assessment of depression ... -
Support from Grandparents to Families with Infants
(ESRI, 2011)Parent-child interactions are influenced by factors outside the immediate family. A recent paper based on data from the Growing Up in Ireland study (GUI) focuses in particular on the support provided by grandparents in ... -
Resource Allocation, Financing and Sustainability in the Health Sector
(ESRI, 2010)The focus on acute, episodic care in the conventional health-care model fails to provide adequately for changing health-care needs arising from increased longevity and increasing prevalence of chronic disease. Integrated ... -
Job Satisfaction and Occupational Stress among Primary School Teachers and School Principals in Ireland
(ESRI / The Teaching Council, 2011)Internationally, a considerable amount of literature has emerged on the factors influencing job satisfaction and occupational stress among school teachers. However, there is a paucity of recent, comprehensive empirical ... -
Site specific increase in heterogeneity of trabecular bone tissue mineral during oestrogen deficiency.
(2011)Although osteoporosis reduces overall bone mass causing bone fragility, recent studies report that the remaining bone tissue is significantly stiffer. Preliminary studies indicate that alterations in bone tissue mineral ... -
Analysis of dynamic tyrosine phosphoproteome in LFA-1 triggered migrating T-cells.
(2011)The ordered, directional migration of T-lymphocytes is a key process during immune surveillance and response. This requires cell adhesion to the high endothelial venules or to the extracellular matrix by a series of surface ... -
Cultural Differences in Parenting Practices
(ESRI, 2011)There is an increasing acceptance across the disciplines of psychology, sociology and health that an individual?s development does not take place in a social vacuum (see for example Bronfenbrenner?s bio-ecological model, ... -
Creating a Health Promoting Environment: The Role of Food
(ESRI, 2011)An analysis of international data on overweight and obesity shows Ireland in a very unflattering light. Along with the UK, Finland, Greece and the US, Ireland has some of the highest rates of adult and child obesity among ... -
A Good News Story About Irish Health Care
(ESRI, 2011)Life expectancy for older people in Ireland has been increasing steadily since the 1980s. Despite this, Irish life expectancies for the over 65s lagged seriously behind the EU average as recently as the mid 1990s. But Irish ... -
Type-safe execution of mobile agents in anonymous networks (Extended Abstract).
(Springer-Verlag, 1999)We study type-safety properties of open distributed systems of mobile agents, where not all sites are known to be well-typed. We adopt the underlying model of an anonymous network, allowing that code may be corrupted on ... -
Resource access control in systems of mobile agents (Extended Abstract).
(Elsevier, 1998)We describe a typing system for a distributed ?-calculus which guarantees that distributed agents cannot access the resources of a system without first being granted the capability to do so. The language studied allows ... -
Subtyping and Locality in Distributed Higher Order Mobile Processes (extended abstract).
(Springer-Verlag, 1999)This paper studies one important aspect of distributed systems, locality, using a calculus of distributed higher-order processes in which not only basic values or channels, but also parameterised processes are transferred ... -
Information flow vs resource access in the asynchronous pi-calculus.
(ACM, 2002)We propose an extension of the asynchronous ?-calculus in which a variety of security properties may be captured using types. These are an extension of the input/output types for the ?-calculus in which I/O capabilities ... -
Bisimulation Congruences in Safe Ambients (extended abstract).
(2002)We develop a semantics theory for SAP, a variant of Levi and Sangiorgi?s Safe Ambients, SA. The dynamics of SA relies upon capabilities (and co-capabilities) exercised by mobile agents, called ambients, to interact with ... -
Towards a Behavioural Theory of Access and Mobility Control in Distributed Systems.
(Elsevier, 2004)We de ne a typed bisimulation equivalence for the language Dpi, a dis- tributed version of the -calculus in which processes may migrate between dynamically created locations. It takes into account resource access policies, ...
