Adenoviral transduction of mesenchymal stem cells: in vitro responses and in vivo immune responses after cell transplantation
Ritter, Thomas (2012)Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic cells with multi-lineage potential which makes them attractive targets for regenerative medicine applications. However, to date, therapeutic success of MSC-therapy ... -
The adoption of enabling technology to enhance research commercialisation and technology transfer
Cormican, Kathryn; Coleman, Maébh (2009)This paper examines how the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway has benefited from implementation of an intellectual property (IP) management tool to enhance its research commercialization outcomes. The paper uses ... -
Adsorption and conformations of lysozyme and α-lactalbumin at a water-octane interface
Cheung, David L. (AIP Publishing, 2017-11)As proteins contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids, they will readily adsorb onto interfaces between water and hydrophobic fluids such as oil. This adsorption normally causes changes in the protein structure, ... -
Advanced hardware real time face detector
Bigioi, Petronel; Zaharia, Corneliu; Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2012)Face detection and tracking can be considered an enabling technology for a range of image enhancements technologies, authentications and advanced UIs in handheld devices. Several modes of implementing a face detection ... -
Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
Corcoran, Peter; Bigioi`, Petronel (Bentham Science, 2012)Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ... -
Advancing the dialogue between inner and outer empiricism.
Hogan, M.J. (2008)In a recent contribution to New Ideas in Psychology, Seán Ó Nualláin draws out a distinction between inner and outer empiricism, and suggests that consciousness research can benefit from analysis in both directions, that ... -
Aesthetics and emotion in an organisational ethnography

Against didacticism
Hogan, Michael J. (2006-10)Quality thinking and quality teaching are desirable but difficult to achieve. Although lectures are necessary to teach information, one cannot rely on them to promote critical and constructive thinking skills. Nevertheless, ... -
Age-related task sensitivity of frontal EEG entropy during encoding predicts retrieval
O' Hora, D; Schinkel, S; Hogan, MJ; Kilmartin, L; Keane, M; Lai, R; Upton, N (Springer, 2013)Age-related declines in memory may be due in part to changes in the complexity of neural activity in the aging brain. Electrophysiological entropy provides an accessible measure of the complexity of ongoing neural activity. ... -
Ageing in changing community contexts: cross-border perspectives from rural Ireland and Northern Ireland
Walsh, Kieran; O'Shea, Eamon; Scharf, Thomas (2012)Ongoing demographic, social, economic and cultural changes point to the dynamic and continually changing contexts of rural areas in Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, the influence of such changes on the lives of older ... -
Aggregation of nanoparticles on one and two-component bilayer membranes
Cheung, David L. (AIP Publishing, 2014)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the aggregation of nanoparticles on single and two-component bilayers is investigated. For a uniform bilayer the aggregation of nanoparticlesdepends strongly on the location ... -

An algorithm for the unit group of the Burnside ring of a finite group
Boltje, Robert; Pfeiffer, Götz (Cambridge University Press, 2007-01)In this note we present an algorithm for the construction of the unit group of the Burnside ring Ω(G) of a finite group G from a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. -
Algorithms, social media and mental health
Felzmann, Heike; Kennedy, Rónán (Society for Computers and Law, 2016-09-28)Algorithmic identification of mental health characteristics is feasible on the basis of easily available information on social media. Such information can be extracted by algorithmic methods from publicly available ... -
Alignment-free clustering of transcription factor binding motifs using a genetic-k-medoids approach
Ó Broin, Pilib; Smith, Terry J.; Golden, Aaron (BioMed Central, 2015-01-28)Background: Familial binding profiles (FBPs) represent the average binding specificity for a group of structurally related DNA-binding proteins.
