DING! Dataset Ranking using Formal Descriptions
(2009)Considering that thousands if not millions of linked datasets will be published soon, we motivate in this paper the need for an efficient and effective way to rank interlinked datasets based on formal descriptions of their ... -
Direct costs of radiotherapy for rectal cancer: a microcosting study
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-02)Background: Radiotherapy provides significant benefits in terms of reducing risk of local recurrence and death from rectal cancer. Despite this, up-to-date cost estimates for radiotherapy are lacking, potentially inhibiting ... -
Direct evidence on the contribution of a missense mutation in gdf9 to variation in ovulation rate of finnsheep
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-04-21)The Finnish Landrace (Finnsheep) is a well known high-prolificacy sheep breed and has been used in many countries as a source of genetic material to increase fecundity of local breeds. Analyses to date have indicated that ... -
Direct uv-triggered thiol–ene cross-linking of electrospun polyester fibers from unsaturated poly(macrolactone)s and their drug loading by solvent swelling
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-11-14)Electrospinning is considered a relatively simple and versatile technique to form high porosity porous scaffolds with micron to nanoscale fibers for biomedical applications. Here, electrospinning of unsaturated aliphatic ... -
Disability, deficiency and excess: a critical re-examination of the construction, production and representations of physical disability in contemporary European film
(2014-06-26)This thesis critically investigates three contemporary European disability films to examine how representation and metaphor are used to present physical disability as deficient in comparison with the able-bodied ideal. The ... -
Disability, EU law and the CRPD: A New Dawn?
(Clarus Press, 2017)This paper will examine the definition of disability in anti-discrimination employment law in Europe. This paper reviews some of the approaches to defining disability both within the European Union and by the European ... -
Disaggregating polyploidy, parental genome dosage and hybridity contributions to heterosis in arabidopsis thaliana
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)Heterosis is the phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring of genetically divergent parents display superior characteristics compared with their parents. Although hybridity and polyploidy can influence heterosis in hybrid plants, ... -
Discharge planning: communication, education and patient participation
(Mark Allen Healthcare, 2007-06)For the most part, discharge from hospital is routine and uneventful. However, for a percentage of persons, discharge from acute care requires careful planning to ensure continuity of care. This is particularly the case ... -
Disclosing a diagnosis in the workplace: Perspective of people with multiple sclerosis
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-02-17)Background: Early withdrawal from the workforce is associated with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), with employment retention rates also lower than in the general population. Despite legal requirements, equality ... -
Discovering Domain-Specific Public SPARQL Endpoints: A Life-Sciences Use-Case
(2014)A significant portion of the LOD cloud consists of Life Sciences data sets. The LOD cloud contains billions of clinical facts linked together forming an interlinked Web of Clinical Data . However, tools for new publishers ... -

Discovering protein drug targets using knowledge graph embeddings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-08-01)Motivation Computational approaches for predicting drug-target interactions (DTIs) can provide valuable insights into the drug mechanism of action. DTI predictions can help to quickly identify new promising (on-target) ... -
Discovering sense of community enabling factors for public and government staff in online public engagement
(Springer, Cham, 2021-08-31)eParticipation has largely not lived up to expectations and government responsiveness to public feedback, provided via eParticipation has proved challenging. In a new conceptualization of the theory of Sense of Community ... -
Discovery and characterization of novel poriferan biosynthetic pathways via next-generation sequencing
(NUI Galway, 2023-01-10)Sponges of the phylum Porifera are benthic, filter feeding animals which can be found in waters throughout the world. Because of these qualities, consistent challenges they face include exposure to ... -
Discovery and recovery of an exceptional accumulation of carboniferous echinoids at Hook Head, Wexford
(Royal Irish Academy, 2022-09-30)Geoconservation is a burgeoning area of activity within the Earth sciences and the preservation of significant fossil finds remains crucial for the advancement of palaeontological knowledge and protection of geoheritage. ... -
Discovery of a faint X-ray counterpart and of a parsec-long X-ray tail for the middle-aged, gamma-ray only pulsar PSR J0357+3205
(2011)The Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite opened a new era for pulsar astronomy, detecting gamma-ray pulsations from more than 60 pulsars, ~40% of which are not seen at radio wavelengths. One of the most ... -
Discovery of a new tev gamma-ray source: ver j0521+211
(IOP Publishing, 2013-09-27)We report the detection of a new TeV gamma-ray source, VER J0521+211, based on observations made with the VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Array. These observations were motivated by the discovery of a cluster ... -
Discovery of anti-cancer activity for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones: Very strong correlation to pleurotin and thioredoxin reductase inhibition
(Elsevier, 2016-05-30)The thioredoxin (Trx)-thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) system plays a key role in maintaining the cellular redox balance with Trx being over-expressed in a number of cancers. Inhibition of TrxR is an important strategy for ... -
