Top-down and bottom-up aerosol–cloud closure: towards understanding sources of uncertainty in deriving cloud shortwave radiative flux
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-08-22)
Top-down and bottom-up aerosol-cloud shortwave radiative flux closures were conducted at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station in Galway, Ireland, in August 2015. This study is part of the BACCHUS (Impact of Biogenic ...
Ticks and tick-borne diseases in Ireland
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-31)
Throughout Europe interest in tick-borne agents is increasing, particularly with regard to those that can cause human disease. The reason for this is the apparent rise in the incidence of many tick-borne diseases (TBD's). ...
Production of a recombinant swollenin from trichoderma harzianum in escherichia coli and its potential synergistic role in biomass degradation
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-16)
Background: Fungal swollenins (SWOs) constitute a class of accessory proteins that are homologous to canonical plant expansins. Expansins and expansin-related proteins are well known for acting in the deagglomeration of ...

Botulinum toxin injection versus topical nitrates for chronic anal fissure- an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-11-22)
AimChronic anal fissures (CAFs) are frequently encountered in coloproctology clinics. Chemical sphincterotomy with pharmacological agents is recommended as first-line therapy. Topical nitrates (TN) heal CAF effectively but ...
The effect of wind forcing on modeling coastal circulation at a marine renewable test site
(MDPI AG, 2017-12-12)
The hydrodynamic circulation in estuaries is primarily driven by tides, river inflows and surface winds. While tidal and river data can be quite easily obtained for input to hydrodynamic models, sourcing accurate surface ...
