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 ... -
The Impact of the Recession on the Structure and Labour Market Success of Young NEET Individuals in Ireland
(ESRI, 2013-09-13)The labour market consequences of the severe fall in economic activity that took place in Ireland after the recent global recession were quite stark, especially for young people. One particularly disquieting development ... -
Negative Equity in the Irish Housing Market: Estimates Using Loan Level Data
(ESRI, 2013-08-28)The sharp decline in house prices since 2007 has led to the emergence of widespread negative equity in Ireland. For a large sample of borrowers in negative equity the paper provides details on the characteristics of the ... -
Iron Status and Helicobacter pylori Infection in Symptomatic Children: An International Multi-Centered Study
(2013)Objective: Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are global major public health problems, particularly in developing countries. Whilst an association between H. pylori infection and ID/IDA has been ... -
Characterising cytokine gene expression signatures in patients with severe sepsis
(2013)Introduction. Severe sepsis in humans may be related to an underlying profound immune suppressive state. We investigated the link between gene expression of immune regulatory cytokines and the range of illness severity in ... -
Real-reward testing for probabilistic processes
(2013)We introduce a notion of real-valued reward testing for probabilistic processes by extending the traditional nonnegative-reward testing with negative rewards. In this richer testing framework, the may- and must-preorders ... -

Healthy aging is associated with increased neural processing of positive valence but attenuated processing of emotional arousal: an fMRI study
(2013)Arousal and valence play key roles in emotional perception, with normal aging leading to changes in the neural substrates supporting valence processing. The objective of this study was to investigate normal age-related ... -
Using intelligence to shape reforms in child protection
(2012)The Ryan Report, published in 2009, was not the first review of child welfare services to raise disquiet. Nevertheless it was unique in that its recommendations went beyond the deficits exposed by the report to comment on ... -
Photophysical studies of CdTe quantum dots in the presence of a zinc cationic porphyrin
(2012)The photophysical properties of 2.3 nm thioglycolic acid (TGA) coated CdTe quantum dots (QDs) prepared by a reflux method have been studied in the presence of cationic meso-tetrakis(4-Nmethylpyridyl) zinc porphyrin ... -
