Accessing a hard to reach population: reflections on research with young carers in Ireland
Kennan, Danielle; Fives, Allyn; Canavan, John (Wiley Online Library, 2012-08)In keeping with developments in children's rights, research is increasingly including the views of children. Accessing a hard to reach population of children can, however, raise significant ethical and methodological ... -
Acute phase gene expression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after exposure to a confinement stressor: A comparison of pooled and individual data
Talbot, Anita T.; Smith, Terry; Cairns, Michael T. (Elsevier, 2009-06-09)This study set out to investigate whether differential expression of genes for acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) could be induced by confinement stress, a non-invasive method of activating the ... -
Addressing human error within the Irish healthcare system.
O'Connor, Paul; Keogh, Ivan (Irish Medical Organisation, 2011-02)Research shows that human error, as opposed to mechanical failure, is the major causal factor of industrial and transportation accidents. The same is true in healthcare. This paper briefly discusses five human error reduction ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. The construction of such profiles allows the classification of novel motifs ... -
Analysis of stress-induced hepatic gene expression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) selected for high- and low-responsiveness to stress
Pemmasani, Jhansi K.; Pottinger, Tom G.; Cairns, Michael T. (Elsevier, 2011-12)The production and welfare of intensively reared fish would be improved by reducing stress responsiveness. One approach to achieving this goal is selective breeding utilising stress-responsive genes as direct genetic markers ... -
Analyzing Social Behavior of Software Developers Across Different Communication Channels
Iqbal, Aftab; Karnstedt, Marcel; Hausenblas, Michael (2013)Software developers use different project repositories (i.e., mailing list, bug tracking repositories, discussion forums etc.) to interact with each other or to solve software related problems. The growing interest in ... -
Applying DAC Principles to the RDF Graph Data Model
Kirrane, Sabrina; Mileo, Alessandra; Decker, Stefan (2013)In this paper we examine how Discretionary Access Control principles, that have been successfully applied to relational and XML data, can be applied to the Resource Description Framework (RDF) graph data model. The ... -

Big linked cancer data: Integrating linked TCGA and PubMed
Kamdar, Maulik R.; Iqbal, Aftab; Sampath, Shanmuka (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-07-16)The amount of bio-medical data available on the Web grows exponentially with time. The resulting large volume of data makes manual exploration very tedious. Moreover, the velocity at which this data changes and the variety ... -
Big linked cancer data: Integrating linked TCGA and PubMed
Saleem, M; Kamdar, M; Iqbal, A; Sampath, S; Deus, H; Ngomo, A (Elsevier, 2014-07-07)The amount of bio-medical data available on the Web grows exponentially with time. The resulting large volume of data makes manual exploration very tedious. Moreover, the velocity at which this data changes and the variety ... -
Bisphenol A-Mediated Suppression of LPL Gene Expression Inhibits Triglyceride Accumulation during Adipogenic Differentiation of Human Adult Stem Cells

Bovine kappa-casein gene promoter haplotypes with potential implications for milk protein expression
Keating, A. F.; Davoren, P.; Smith, T. J.; Cairns, Michael T. (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2007-05-25)Genetic analysis of the kappa-casein gene (CSN3) promoter regions of 42 cattle representing 9 different breeds revealed that 2 distinct haplotypes (A and B) exist at this locus, differing from each other by single base ... -
A case study of collecting dynamic social data: The pro-ana twitter community
Wood, Ian (Australian National University, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, 2015)The study of social processes in on-line social media content is a relatively new and rapidly growing endeavour. Many social media platforms provide a public API (Application Programming Interface) which can be used for ... -
Cataloguing and Linking Life Sciences LOD
Hasnain, Ali; Fox, Ronan; Deus, Helena F.; Decker, Stefan (2012)The Life Sciences Linked Open Data (LSLOD) Cloud is currently comprised of multiple datasets that add high value to biomedical research. The ability to navigate through these datasets in order to derive and discover new ... -
