Understanding Special Class Provision in Ireland: Findings from a National Survey of Schools
(ESRI and National Council for Special Education, 2014) -
Radiotherapy staffing in the European countries: final results from the ESTRO-HERO survey.
(2014)Abstract Background The ESTRO Health Economics in Radiation Oncology (HERO) project has the overall aim to develop a knowledge base of the provision of radiotherapy in Europe and build a model for health economic ... -
Atomic scale dynamics of a solid state chemical reaction directly determined by annular dark-field electron microscopy.
(2014)Dynamic processes, such as solid-state chemical reactions and phase changes, are ubiquitous in materials science, and developing a capability to observe the mechanisms of such processes on the atomic scale can offer new ... -
Effect of membrane stiffness and cytoskeletal element density on mechanical stimuli within cells: an analysis of the consequences of ageing in cells
(2015)A finite element model of a single cell was created and used to compute the biophysical stimuli generated within a cell under mechanical loading. Major cellular components were incorporated in the model: the membrane, ... -
Corroboration of computational models for mechanoregulated stem cell differentiation.
(2015)Do computational models contribute to progress in mechanobiology? Jacobs and Kelly (in Advances on Modelling in Tissue Engineering, p. 1–14, 2011) suggest that they do, but at the same time propose a limitation in the ... -
Guidelines for equipment and staffing of radiotherapy facilities in the European countries: Final results of the ESTRO-HERO survey
(2014)Background and purpose In planning to meet evidence based needs for radiotherapy, guidelines for the provision of capital and human resources are central if access, quality and safety are not to be compromised. A component ... -
Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: A genome-wide association study
(2010)Partial epilepsies have a substantial heritability. However, the actual genetic causes are largely unknown. In contrast to many other common diseases for which genetic association-studies have successfully revealed common ... -
Rare Deletions at 16p13.11 Predispose to a Diverse Spectrum of Sporadic Epilepsy Syndromes
(2010)Deletions at 16p13.11 are associated with schizophrenia, mental retardation, and most recently idiopathic generalized epilepsy. To evaluate the role of 16p13.11 deletions, as well as other structural variation, in epilepsy ... -
Formative evaluation of a telemedicine model for delivering clinical neurophysiology services part I: Utility, technical performance and service provider perspective
(2010)Background Formative evaluation is conducted in the early stages of system implementation to assess how it works in practice and to identify opportunities for improving technical and process performance. A formative ... -
Four decades of finite element analysis of orthopaedic devices: Where are we now and what are the opportunities?
(2015)Finite element has been used for more than four decades to study and evaluate the mechanical behaviour total joint replacements. In Huiskes seminal paper “Failed innovation in total hip replacement: diagnosis and proposals ... -
Controlled dehydration of a ruthenium complex-DNA crystal induces reversible DNA kinking
(2014)Hydration-dependent DNA deformation has been known since Rosalind Franklin recognised that the relative humidity of the sample had to be maintained to observe a single conformation in DNA fibre diffraction. We now report ... -
A Supramolecular Approach to Enantioselective DNA Recognition using Enantiomerically Resolved Cationic 4-Amino-1,8-Naphthalimide based Tröger s Base.
(2014)The synthesis and photophysical studies of two cationic Tröger's base (TB)-derived bis-naphthalimides 1 and 2 and the TB derivative 6, characterized by X-ray crystallography, are presented. The enantiomers of 1 and 2 are ... -
Study of picosecond processes of an intercalated dipyridophenazine Cr(iii) complex bound to defined sequence DNAs using transient absorption and time-resolved infrared methods
(2014)Picosecond transient absorption (TA) and time-resolved infrared (TRIR) measurements of rac-[Cr(phen)2(dppz)]3+ (1) intercalated into double-stranded guanine-containing DNA reveal that the excited state is very rapidly ... -
Wash-free highly sensitive detection of C-reactive protein using gold derivatised triangular silver nanoplates
(2014)A rapid, wash-free highly sensitive detection method for C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is reported with both triangular silver nanoplate (TSNP) and Au-edge coated TSNP biosensor sols. The latter shows higher assay sensitivity ... -
Long-lived excited states in i-motif DNA studied by picosecond time-resolved IR spectroscopy
(2014)The transient IR absorption spectrum for UV-excited i-motif DNA is reported for the first time and found to possess complex dynamics pointing to multiple decay processes, including possible charge transfer between packed ... -
Cervical dystonia: a disorder of the midbrain network for covert attentional orienting.
(2014)While the pathogenesis of cervical dystonia remains unknown, recent animal and clinical experimental studies have indicated its probable mechanisms. Abnormal temporal discrimination is a mediational endophenotype of cervical ... -
A method to assess adherence in inhaler use through analysis of acoustic recordings of inhaler events
(2014)Rationale Poor adherence to inhaler use can be due to poor temporal and/or technique adherence. Up until now there has been no way of reliably tracking both these factors in everyday inhaler use. Objectives This ... -
Beyond Mannheim: Conceptualising how people 'talk' and 'do' generations in contemporary society
(2015)In the 1920s, Karl Mannheim developed the concept of generation in a treatise entitled ‘The Problem of Generations’ (1952/1928). His conceptualisation pertained to what Pilcher (1994) calls ‘social generations’, that is, ...
