Temporal discrimination threshold: VBM evidence for an endophenotype in adult onset primary torsion dystonia.
(2009)Familial adult-onset primary torsion dystonia is an autosomal dominant disorder with markedly reduced penetrance. Most adult-onset primary torsion dystonia patients are sporadic cases. Disordered sensory processing is found ... -
Acoustic and Temporal Analysis of Speech: A Potential Biomarker for Schizophrenia
(2010)Currently, there are no established objective biomarkers for the diagnosis or monitoring of schizophrenia. It has been previously reported that there are notable qualitative differences in the speech of schizophrenics. The ... -
Propofol allows precise quantitative arterial spin labelling functional magnetic resonance imaging in the rat
(2010)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques highlight cerebral vascular responses which are coupled to changes in neural activation. However, two major difficulties arise when employing these techniques in ... -
Spanwise structure of wall pressure on a cylinder in axial flow
(American Institute of Physics, 1999)The spanwise structure of wall pressure fluctuations was measured in an axtisymmetric turbulent boundary layer on a cylinder parallel to the mean flow at a momentum thickness Reynolds number of 2530 and a boundary layer ... -
Bile acid toxicity structure activity relationships: Correlations between cell viability and lipophilicity in a panel of new and known bile acids using an esophageal cell line (HET-1A)
(2010)The molecular mechanisms and interactions underlying bile acid cytotoxicity are important to understand for intestinal and hepatic disease treatment and prevention and the design of bile acid-based therapeutics. Bile acid ... -
A prediction of cell differentiation and proliferation within a collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffold subjected to mechanical strain and perfusive fluid flow.
(2010)Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation can be influenced by biophysical stimuli imparted by the host scaffold. Yet, causal relationships linking scaffold strain magnitudes and inlet fluid velocities to specific cell ... -
Evaluation of a Validation Method for MR Imaging-Based Motion Tracking Using Image Simulation
(2010)Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging-based motion and deformation tracking techniques combined with finite element (FE) analysis are a powerful method for soft tissue constitutive model parameter identification. However, ... -
Imaging Arterial Fibres Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging Feasibility Study and Preliminary Results
(2010)MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to analyze the fibrous structure of aortic tissue. A fresh porcine aorta was imaged at 7T using a spin echo sequence with the following parameters: matrix 128 x 128 pixel; slice ... -
Local and regional mechanical characterisation of a collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffold using high-resolution finite element analysis.
(2010)Artificial tissue growth requires cells to proliferate and differentiate within the host scaffold. As cell function is governed by mechano-sensitive selection, tissue type is influenced by the microscopic forces exposed ... -
The Mellon Retrospective Cataloguing Project in Trinity College Library Dublin
(2010)This article describes the Mellon Retrospective Cataloguing Project in Trinity College Library Dublin. It gives a description of the Printed Catalogue (holdings up to 1872) and the Accessions Catalogue (1873-1963) and ... -
Women and crisis pregnancy : a report presented to the Department of Health and Children
(Stationery Office, 1998)In June 1995, the Minister for Health, Michael Noonan, commissioned this study on women and crisis pregnancy in Ireland. The study was commissioned to identify the factors which contributed to the incidence of unwanted ... -
Understanding informal payments in healthcare: motivation of health workers in Tanzania
(2009)Background There is growing evidence that informal payments for health care are fairly common in many low- and middle-income countries. Informal payments are reported to have a negative consequence on equity and quality ... -
Converging in Catholicity
(Universal Academy Press, 2009)The ecumenical problem and the starting point of ecumenical endeavour is that the inherent unity of the church of God has been distorted and obscured by the ecclesiastical divisions that have developed due to cultural ... -
Breaking the Mould: New Trajectories in the Domiciliary Care of Older People in Ireland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)This article reviews the development of domiciliary care services for older people in Ireland over the last decade. It reveals three central developments, namely (i) the first steps, in the Irish context, towards a ... -
Worlds apart? Public, private and non-profit sector providers of domiciliary care for older persons in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2007)Domiciliary care of older persons is changing rapidly in Ireland. The most significant recent changes are the emergence of private home care companies, the introduction of a new policy instrument (cash-for-care) and the ... -
'How Can You Just Cut Off a Whole Side of the Family and Say Move On?' The Reshaping of Paternal Grandparent-Grandchild Relationships Following Relationship Breakdown in the Middle Generation
(2010)Based on a qualitative study of 31 grandparents, this article highlights how separation in the middle generation can result in an erosion of trust and quality of paternal grandparent-grandchild relationships. Despite these ... -
Langevin equation approach to diffusion magnetic resonance imaging
(2009)The normal phase diffusion problem in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is treated by means of the Langevin equation for the phase variable using only the properties of the characteristic function of Gaussian random variables. ... -
Room-temperature exciton luminescence in II-VI quantum wells
(1991)We observe free excitons in absorption and emission at room temperature in Cd0,2sZne.7sTe/ ZnTe multiple quantum wells. A large overlap between luminescence and absorption peaks observed at 10 K is maintained up to room ... -
Hot-exciton relaxation in CdxZn1-xTe/ZnTe multiple quantum wells
(1991)We have observed the creation of hot excitons at high momentum in CdxZn1-xTe multiple quantum wells and subsequent relaxation by LO-phonon emission to give sharp luminescence lines superimposed on a broader background. The ... -
All-optical clock distribution with synchronous frequency division and multiplication
(1992)A master optical clock from a mode locked laser is distributed to two slave twin section lasers. One slave laser divides the optical modulation frequency by 2, the other slave laser multiplies the frequency by 2. It is ...
