Accurate dielectric characterisation of biological tissues in the microwave range using the open-ended coaxial probe technique
(NUI Galway, 2019-12-19)Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissue samples is fundamental in the design of novel electromagnetic-based medical devices. Biological tissue samples are typically characterised dielectrically ... -
Challenges of post-measurement histology for the dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous biological tissues
(MDPI, 2020-06-09)The dielectric properties of biological tissues are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial probe technique, which is based on the assumption that the tissue sample is homogeneous. Therefore, for heterogeneous ... -
Characterization of the anisotropic mechanical properties of excised human skin
(Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01) -
Collenchyma: a versatile mechanical tissue with dynamic cell walls
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-08-29)Collenchyma has remained in the shadow of commercially exploited mechanical tissues such as wood and fibres, and therefore has received little attention since it was first described. However, collenchyma is highly dynamic, ... -
Comparison of assessment methods used to diagnose hematodinium sp. infections in cancer pagurus
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-01-17)Endoparasitic dinoflagellates of the genus Hematodinium have recently gained attention as significant pathogens of the brown crab Cancer pagurus in Ireland. Patent infections, which are characterized by a hyperpigmented ... -
Hunter-schreger band patterns in human tooth enamel
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-06-23)Using light microscopy, we examined Hunter-Schreger Band (HSB) patterns on the axial and occlusal/incisal surfaces of 160 human teeth, sectioned in both the buccolingual and mesiodistal planes. We found regional variations ... -
Identification and characterization of kidney transplants with good glomerular filtration rate at 1 year but subsequent progressive loss of renal function
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2012-11-01)Background. After the first year after kidney transplantation, 3% to 5% of grafts fail each year but detailed studies of how grafts progress to failure are lacking. This study aimed to analyze the functional stability of ... -
Insights into the evolution and development of Haliclona indistincta (Porifera, Haplosclerida)
(2013-03-12)Abstract: Haliclona indistincta (order Haplosclerida, family Chalinidae) is an intertidal, and shallow sub-tidal, dwelling sponge found in Ireland, Britain and elsewhere that possesses a highly variable morphology. It ... -
Oocyte development and maturity classification of boarfish (capros aper) in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-04-09)This study presents the first detailed investigation of the oocyte development and maturity classification of boarfish, Capros aper, which has recently become the target of an industrial fishery in the Northeast Atlantic. ... -
Tackling hypertension via adrenal ablation-the development of novel immunohistochemical ablation biomarkers
(IEEE, 2018-04-09)Microwave thermal ablation is under consideration for minimally invasive treatment of unilateral and bilateral adrenal adenomas, symptomatic of Conn's syndrome. Currently available microwave technologies are illsuited to ... -
The mesocolon
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2014-12-01)Background: Colonic mobilization requires separation of mesocolon from underlying fascia. Despite the surgical importance of planes formed by these structures, no study has formally characterized their microscopic features. ...
