    • Effects of nerve bundle geometry on neurotrauma evaluation 

      Cinelli, Ilaria; Destrade, Michel; McHugh, Peter; Duffy, Maeve (Wiley, 2018-06-16)
      ObjectiveWe confirm that alteration of a neuron structure can induce abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems, as observed in brain damage. Here, we investigate the effects of geometrical changes and damage ...

    • Electro-mechanical response of a 3D nerve bundle model to mechanical loads leading to axonal injury 

      Cinelli, Ilaria; Destrade, Michel; Duffy, Maeve; McHugh, Peter (Wiley, 2017-11-21)
      Traumatic brain injuries and damage are major causes of death and disability. We propose a 3D fully coupled electro-mechanical model of a nerve bundle to investigate the electrophysiological impairments due to trauma at ...

    • Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional finite-element model of a single neuron 

      Cinelli, Ilaria; Destrade, Michel; Duffy, Maeve; McHugh, Peter (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-14)
      Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the interdependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electrothermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing ...

    • Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury 

      Cinelli, Ilaria; Destrade, Michel; McHugh, Peter; Trotta, Antonia; Gilchrist, Michael; Duffy, Maeve (Springer, 2018-11-14)
      The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ...

    • Microbial electrochemical technologies: Electronic circuitry and characterization tools 

      Sánchez, Carlos; Dessì, Paolo; Duffy, Maeve; Lens, Piet N.L. (Elsevier, 2019-11-16)
      Microbial electrochemistry merges microbiology, electrochemistry and electronics to provide a set of technologies for environmental engineering applications. Understanding the electronic concepts is crucial for effectively ...

    • OpenTCC: An open source low-cost temperature-control chamber 

      Sánchez, Carlos; Dessì, Paolo; Duffy, Maeve; Lens, Piet N.L. (Elsevier, 2020-02-24)
      Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) are emerging systems for environmental applications such as renewable energy production or pollution remediation. MET research often requires stable temperatures and low levels ...
