Improving the intercellular uptake and osteogenic potency of calcium phosphate via nanocomplexation with the RALA peptide
(2020)Calcium phosphate-base materials (e.g., alpha tri-calcium phosphate (α–TCP)) have been shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of stem/progenitor cells, enhance osteoblast osteogenic activity and mediate in vivo bone ... -
Improving the Mathematical Model for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers by Investigating their Loss Mechanisms
(2017)A Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layer is an optical approach to improve the solar cell’s optical response by using luminescent species doped in a polymer matrix material to form a thin layer to be deposited on top of the ... -
Improving the Simulation Accuracy of the Substructure Approach for Soil-Structure-Interaction Analysis Using a Refined Impedance Function
(2023)The objective of this study is exploring the limitations of the substructure approach for time-domain soil-structure-interaction (SSI) analysis. The key assumption in the substructure approach is that the soil-structure ... -
Improving the spatial monitoring of rain gauges for flood assessment
(2023)Flood assessment for early warning systems rely on the confidence on data. Rainfalls are usually estimated by radar with a low accuracy but a fine spatial mesh and rain gauges with a high accuracy but a low density. Adding ... -
IN SILICO MODELLING OF FLOW-INDUCED COLLAPSE OF BLOOD VESSELS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VOLUME STATUSES
(2024)Here, we present the initial steps towards developing a robust computational framework for simulating IVC vessel collapse using FSI. Our preliminary results, qualitative and quantitative, are in good agreement with previous ... -
In situ investigation of thermally influenced phase transformations in (pb0.92sr0.08) (zr0.65ti0.35)o3 thin films using micro-raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction
(IEEE, 2009)Thin films of ferroelectric strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate [PSZT, (Pb0.92Sr0.08)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3] deposited by RF magnetron sputtering have been analyzed by in situ analysis techniques. The in situ techniques ... -
In vitro co-culture and ex vivo organ culture assessment of primed and cryopreserved stromal cell microcapsules for intervertebral disc regeneration
(2019)Priming towards a discogenic phenotype and subsequent cryopreservation of microencapsulated bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) may offer an attractive therapeutic approach for disc repair. It potentially obviates ... -
In vivo dynamics of the internal fibrous structure in smooth adhesive pads of insects
(2012)Many insects with smooth adhesive pads can rapidly enlarge their contact area by centripetal pulls on the legs, allowing them to cope with sudden mechanical perturbations such as gusts of wind or raindrops. The short time ... -
The inactivation of phages MS2, ΦX174 and PR 772 using UV and solar photocatalysis
(2012)The photolytic and photocatalytic disinfection of three bacteriophages (MS2, ?X174, PR772) under both artificial UV irradiation and natural sunlight was studied. A large variation was seen in the relative responses of ... -
Incentivising Car-shedding Behaviour in the Greater Dublin Area
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)This doctoral research examines the behavioural response of commuters within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), Ireland, to a range of policy incentives devised to encourage travellers to make greater usage of sustainable ... -
Including Epistemic Uncertainty in Engineering Decision Making
(2023)Most engineering systems are designed on the basis that their probability of under- performance is appropriately low. This is done either explicitly, by calculating this probability of failure, or implicitly, by prescribing ... -
Incorporation of collagen and hyaluronic acid to enhance the bioactivity of fibrin-based hydrogels for nucleus pulposus regeneration
(2018)Hydrogels, such as fibrin, offer a promising delivery vehicle to introduce cells into the intervertebral disc (IVD) to regenerate damaged disc tissue as a potential treatment for low back pain. However, fibrin lacks key ... -
Incorporation of Equity into Infrastructure Decision-Making: Development of an Equity Metric for Infrastructure Retrofitting
(2023)When infrastructure service outages occur, especially after natural hazards, the impacts are not felt uniformly across a community but are disproportionately clustered in vulnerable groups (e.g., low-income, minority, ... -
Independent brain computer interfacing control using visual spatial attention-dependent modulations of parieto-occipital alpha
(2005)Parieto-occipital alpha band (8-14 Hz) EEG activity was examined daring a spatial attention-based brain computer interface paradigm for its potential use as a feature for left/right spatial attention classification. In ... -
Individual Blade Pitch Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Load Mitigation and Power Regulation
(2020)This paper proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore wind turbines. Individual blade pitch ...
