(NUI Galway, 2022-06-10)This thesis critically examines the justifications, implications and possibilities for strengthening gender participatory considerations in the adjudication of the separate but critically interlinked rights to basic water ... -
The role of genomic data in stratifying patients within predictive models for breast cancer survival outcome
(NUI Galway, 2024-04-15)Genomic instability (GI), defined as an increased tendency for genomic alterations to occur, is a common feature of cancers and is recognised as a “facilitating” hallmark of cancer. Genomic alterations include base ... -
Role of glutamate metabolism in bacterial responses towards acid and other stresses
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09-27)Glutamate plays a central role in a wide range of metabolic processes in bacterial cells. This review focuses on the involvement of glutamate in bacterial stress responses. In particular, it reviews the role of glutamate ... -
The role of glycosylation in intervertebral disc degeneration: Towards glyco-functionalised therapeutics
(NUI Galway, 2021-09-24)Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue that imposes a significant socio-economic burden on society. Primarily, intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the major contributing causes of LBP. It is initiated by altered ... -
The role of glycosylation in regulatory T-cell biology
(2016-12-14)Regulatory T-cells (T-reg) play a pivotal role in maintaining immune homeostasis and tolerance. There has been a significant amount of research devoted to understanding their physiological mechanisms of action and the ... -

The role of headwater wetlands in altering stream flow and chemistry in a Maine, USA catchment
(Wiley for American Water Resources Association, 2011-03-28)Headwater wetlands, including hillside seeps, may contribute to downstream systems disproportionately to their relatively small size. We quantified the hydrology and chemistry of headwater wetlands in a central Maine, ... -
Role of integrated knowledge translation in developing and implementing a multi-component infant feeding intervention: Insights from the CHErIsH study
(European Health Psychology Society, 2019-11-14)This article provides an overview and insights from the process of using integrated knowledge translation in developing and implementing the Choosing Healthy Eating for Infant Health (CHErIsH) ... -
The role of integrin αVβ3 in osteocyte mechanotransduction
(Elsevier, 2014-11-10)Recent in vivo studies have proposed that integrin alpha(v)beta(3) attachments between osteocyte cell processes and the extracellular matrix may facilitate mechanosensation in bone. However the role of these attachments ... -
Role of interventional pulmonology in the management of complicated parapneumonic pleural effusions and empyema
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-07-17)Pleural infection is a major problem that affects 80000 cases per year in the UK and USA. It is increasing in incidence, and in an ageing population, it presents a complex challenge that requires a combination of medical ... -
The role of IRE1α in the regulation of cytokine production
(NUI Galway, 2020-04-16)Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), a key mediator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), has emerging roles within innate immunity and cancer progression. Here we examine how IRE1 signalling influences the production ... -
The role of Irish and Irish-themed media in the formation and maintenance of Irish cultural identity in Britain
(NUI Galway, 2023-05-31)This thesis is an exploration of the role of Irish media in the formation and maintenance of Irish cultural identity in Britain. Cultural identity is understood as a discursive construct formed and maintained by social ... -
Role of lentivirus-mediated overexpression of programmed death-ligand 1 on corneal allograft survival
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-02-02)To investigate the role of lentivirus-mediated overexpression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on rat corneal allograft survival. A fully allogeneic rat cornea transplant model was used for in vivo studies. Lentiviral ... -
Role of ligands in accumulation and fractionation of rare earth elements in plants: examples of phosphate and citrate
(Springer Nature, 2005-01-01)Few studies have been carried out on the effects of ligands on rare earth element (REE) bioaccumulation processes. In this study, the effects of phosphate (Pi, an inorganic ligand) and citrate (an organic ligand) on ... -
