Experimental mechanical testing of Poly (l-Lactide) (PLLA) to facilitate pre-degradation characteristics for application in cardiovascular stenting
(Elsevier, 2016-07-19)Next-generation stents made from Biodegradable Polymers (BPs) aim to address the long-term risks (i.e. late restenosis and in-stent thrombosis) associated with both Bare Metal Stents and Drug Eluting Stents, whilst aiming ... -
Experimental studies of simple hydrocarbons in a shock tube
(NUI Galway, 2020-09-24)Chemical kinetic models are needed to simulate fuel chemistry in combustion devices and to aid in the development of new designs to reduce harmful emissions and maximize combustor performance. However, these models need ... -
Experimental studies of the effect of rough surfaces and air speed on aerosol deposition in a test chamber
(Informa UK Limited, 2002-10-01)Understanding the fate of particles indoors is important for human health assessment because deposited particles, unless resuspended, cannot be inhaled. To complement studies in real buildings, where control of variables ... -
An experimental study of a flow-accelerating hydrokinetic device
(SAGE Publications, 2018-05-01)Tidal energy researchers and developers use experimental testing of scaled devices as a method of evaluating device performance. Much of the focus to date has been on horizontal axis turbines. This study is focused on a ... -
An experimental study on the key fretting variables for flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2017-07-02)This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of contact conformity, contact pressure and displacement amplitude on the gross-slip fretting behaviour grease-lubricated cylinder-on-flat contacts in the ... -
Experimental validation of a bayesian model of visual acuity
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2009-07-01)Based on standard procedures used in optometry clinics, we compare measurements of visual acuity for 10 subjects (11 eyes tested) in the presence of natural ocular aberrations and different degrees of induced defocus, with ... -
An experimental, theoretical, and modeling study of the ignition behavior of cyclopentanone
(Elsevier, 2018-07-05)The ignition delay times of cyclopentanone in air were measured using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) over the temperature range of 794-1368 K at P = 15 and 30 bar and at equivalence ... -
Experimentally observe the effect of spherical aberration on diffractive intraocular lens using adaptive optics
(SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2015-03-12)We first investigated the similarity in optical quality of a batch of diffractive intraocular lenses (DIOLs), providing experimental evidence for one DIOL as representative of a batch. Using adaptive optics, we then evaluated ... -
Experiments with term translation
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2012-12-08)In this article we investigate the translation of financial terms from English into German in the isolation of an ontology vocabulary. For this study we automatically built new domain-specific resources from the translation ... -
The ExpertFinder Corpus 2007 for the Benchmarking and Development of ExpertFinding Systems
(2007)We provide a benchmark dataset for expert finding within the computer science domain. We show how large isolated data graphs from disparate structured data sources can be combined to form one, large, well-linked RDF graph ... -

Explaining global surface aerosol number concentrations in terms of primary emissions and particle formation
(Copernicus GmbH, 2010-05-26)We synthesised observations of total particle number (CN) concentration from 36 sites around the world. We found that annual mean CN concentrations are typically 300-2000 cm(-3) in the marine boundary layer and free ... -
Explanations for social inequalities in preterm delivery in the prospective lifeways cohort in the republic of ireland
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-07-11)Background: Social inequalities in pregnancy outcomes have been extensively described but studies that explain these inequalities comprehensively are lacking. This analysis evaluated the contribution of material, psychosocial, ... -
Explicit and implicit stigma towards peers with mental health problems in childhood and adolescence
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-07-24)Background: Children and adolescents with mental health problems are widely reported to have problems with peer relationships; however, few studies have explored the way in which these children are regarded by their peers. ... -
Explicit computations of Ask Zeta functions
(NUI Galway, 2022-09-12)This thesis is devoted to the study of a particular type of zeta function: ask zeta functions associated with modules of matrices. These zeta functions are obtained by averaging over the sizes of the kernels of matrices ... -
Explicit secular equation for Scholte waves over a monoclinic crystal
(Elsevier, 2004)Scholte waves are acoustic waves propagating at a fluid/solid interface. They are localized in the neighborhood of the phase boundary in the sense that they decay exponentially in both directions along the normal to the ... -
The explicit secular equation for surface acoustic waves in monoclinic elastic crystals
(Acoustical Society of America, 2001-01-25)The secular equation for surface acoustic waves propagating on a monoclinic elastic half-space is derived in a direct manner, using the method of first integrals. Although the motion is at first assumed to correspond to ... -
Explicit secular equations for piezoacoustic surface waves: Rayleigh modes
(American Institute of Physics, 2005-09-06)The existence of a two-partial Rayleigh wave coupled to an electrical field in 2 mm piezoelectric crystals is known but has rarely been investigated analytically. It turns out that the Z cut X propagation problem can be ... -
Explicit secular equations for piezoacoustic surface waves: Shear-horizontal modes
(AIP Publishing, 2005-09-06)The existence of a two-partial Rayleigh wave coupled to an electrical field in 2 mm piezoelectric crystals is known but has rarely been investigated analytically. It turns out that the Z cut X propagation problem can be ... -
Exploitation of spr to investigate the importance of glycan chains in the interaction between lactoferrin and bacteria
(MDPI AG, 2017-06-27)Bovine lactoferrin (LF) has been shown to prevent adhesion to and invasion of mammalian cell lines by pathogenic bacteria, with evidence for direct bacterial binding by the milk glycoprotein. However, the glycosylation ...
