The influence of surface composition of carbon nanotubes on the photobioelectrochemical activity of thylakoid bioanodes mediated by osmium-complex modified redox polymer
(Elsevier, 2019-04-17)
A combination of photosynthetic biocatalysts with high surface area conductive materials mediated by an osmium-complex modified redox polymer (OsRP) holds promising features for the development of sustainable "green" systems ...
Using the Agile software development lifecycle to develop a standalone application for generating colour magnitude diagrams
(Elsevier, 2019-05-11)
Virtual observatories allow the means by which an astronomer is able to discover, access, and process data seamlessly, regardless of its physical location. However, steep learning curves are often required to become ...
A thermodynamic model of auto-regulated protein assembly by a supramolecular scaffold
(Wiley, 2019-03-12)
Ligand-mediated regulation of protein assembly occurs frequently in different cellular contexts. Auto-regulated assembly, where a ligand acts as its own competitive inhibitor, provides a mechanism for exquisite control of ...
Poynting effect of brain matter in torsion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-13)
We investigate experimentally and model theoretically the mechanical behaviour of brain matter in torsion. Using a strain-controlled rheometer, we perform torsion tests on fresh porcine brain samples. We quantify the torque ...
Conversion of gel-forming crystal needles to easily processable more equant crystals Using high-shear ultralow attrition agitation: accelerated Ostwald ripening without crystal attrition
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-01)
We demonstrate the first examples of the transformation of gel-forming crystal needles into easily processable more equant crystals by accelerated Ostwald ripening without detectable crystal attrition. Using high solution ...
The air-water interface stabilizes α-helical conformations of the insulin B-chain
(AIP Publishing, 2019-08-09)
Adsorption of proteins onto liquid interfaces, such as the air-water interface, often leads to changes in the protein conformation. This can lead to changes in protein assembly behaviour, with aggregation and fibrillation ...
Effect of individual plasma components on the performance of a glucose enzyme electrode based on redox polymer mediation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase
(Elsevier, 2019-02-11)
The performance of glucose enzyme electrodes, consisting of crosslinked flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH), an osmium redox polymer and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on graphite electrodes, was ...
Glucose biosensor based on open-source wireless microfluidic potentiostat
(Elsevier, 2019-02-17)
Wireless potentiostats capable of cyclic voltammetry and amperometry that connect to the Internet are emerging as key attributes of future point-of-care devices. This work presents an "integrated microfluidic electrochemical ...
Game-based learning to engage students with physics and astronomy using a board game
(IGI Global, 2019)
In this research article, the authors developed a novel astronomy board game and examined how this
approach could facilitate the learning and teaching of astronomy topics covered in the new Irish Science
Syllabus. A total ...
Influence of initial residual stress on growth and pattern creation for a layered aorta
(Nature Research, 2019-06-03)
Residual stress is ubiquitous and indispensable in most biological and artificial materials, where it sustains and optimizes many biological and functional mechanisms. The theory of volume growth, starting from a stress-free ...
