Analysis of in vivo skin anisotropy using elastic wave measurements and Bayesian modelling
(Springer, 2023-04-06)In vivo skin exhibits viscoelastic, hyper-elastic and non-linear characteristics. It is under a constant state of non-equibiaxial tension in its natural configuration and is reinforced with oriented collagen fibers, which ... -
An Analysis of Innovation Management in Irish Medical Device SMEs
(IEEE, 2013-06)This paper focuses on innovation management practices in the Irish medical devices industry. We analyse key determinants to assess the nature and level of innovation management practices relative to published literature ... -
An analysis of internal attacks on PTP-based time synchronization networks
(NUI Galway, 2021-12-21)The IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) is very important for many industrial sectors and applications that require time synchronization accuracy between computers down to microsecond and even nanosecond levels. ... -
Analysis of jacking force data for microtunnels in glacial till at Kilcock, Ireland
(IOS Press, 2011)Although the application of microtunnelling to pipeline construction has grown considerably in Ireland in recent times, there is very little published guidance on the jacking forces that might be expected in Irish ground ... -
Analysis of knowledge transfer practices: insights from a medical device manufacturing organization
(Elsevier BV, 2017-01-01) -
An analysis of local public finances and the 2014 local government reforms
(Economic and Social Studies, 2016)In this paper we set out to analyse changes in local government expenditures and income in the context of central government austerity measures, local government budgetary adjustments and, most especially, the 2014 local ... -
Analysis of Maxi-K alpha subunit splice variants in human myometrium
(springer, 2004-09-21)Background: Large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium (Maxi-K) channels are implicated in the modulation of human uterine contractions and myometrial Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the regulatory mechanism(s) governing ... -
Analysis of microtunnel jacking forces in alluvium and glacial till in Mullingar, Ireland
(2012)The number of successful microtunnelling drives completed in Ireland is growing rapidly. However, current jacking force predictions rely on experience from the UK and beyond, often gained through work in soils with a small ... -
Analysis of MiRNA Expression and Biomarker Potential in Common Diseases: Breast Cancer and Obesity
(2012-05-28)The two greatest health concerns worldwide at present are cancer and obesity; both of which continue to rise in incidence and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Understanding the aetiology and mechanisms of ... -
An Analysis of Model-Driven Web Engineering Methodologies
(2012)In the late 1990's there was substantial activity within the 'Web engineering' research community and a multitude of new Web approaches were proposed. However, numerous studies have revealed major gaps in these approaches, ... -
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ... -
Analysis of pulsed vs. continuous power delivery from an electromagnetic generator
(IOP Publishing, 2013-12-04)The purpose of this work is to present alternative power conversion techniques for an energy harvester optimized to the power requirements of an activity monitoring device. Many energy harvesters designed to use human ... -
Analysis of putative somatic mutations in 200,000 human exomes
(NUI Galway, 2023-09-19)Somatic mutations accumulate throughout life and contribute significantly to disease risk. While research into somatic mutation is well established in cancer, it is only in recent years that investigations into the ... -
Analysis of reactive astrocytes and NG2 proteoglycan in ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury
(Elsevier, 2018-09-26)Background: The use of animals to model spinal cord injury (SCI) requires extensive post-operative care and can be expensive, which makes an altemative model extremely attractive. The use ofex vivo slice cultures is an ... -
Analysis of risk factors and early predictors of challenging behavior for children with autism spectrum disorder
(Elsevier, 2011-02-12)The current study evaluated risk factors for the occurrence, frequency and severity of challenging behavior among a sample of individuals with a diagnosis of autism, under the age of eighteen, in Ireland. Age, gender, hours ... -

Analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mec1 and Rad9 functions in the DNA Damage Response
(2012-10-01)The maintenance of genome integrity is critical for cell proliferation and survival of all organisms. Central to the DNA Damage Response are signal-transduction pathways, termed DNA damage checkpoints, conserved from ... -
Analysis of scc1-deficient cells defines a key metaphase role of vertebrate cohesin in linking sister kinetochores
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-02-01)Cleavage of the cohesin subunit Scc1p/Mcd1p/Rad21 permits sister chromatid separation and is considered to trigger anaphase onset. It has also been suggested that the cohesin complex is essential for chromosome condensation ... -
Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2018-06-21)Disorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing of 25 brain disorders from genome-wide ... -
Analysis of shear-induced platelet aggregation and breakup
(Springer, 2015-07-31)To better understand the mechanisms leading to the formation of thrombi of hazardous sizes in the bulk of the blood, we have developed a kinetic model of shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). In our model, shear rate ...
