Ar lorg an chleite: Seachadadh Beatha Cholaim Chille mar eiseamláir ar cheird an scríobhaí i dtús na seachtú haoise déag
(2017-09-06)
Déantar iarracht sa tráchtas seo léargas a fháil ar chleachtas agus ar cheird scríobhaí Gaelach, Brian Mac Niallais, agus cóip dhílis de Beatha Cholaim Chille á cóiriú aige i dtús na seachtú haoise déag. Cuirtear i gcomórtas ...
Investigation of biological factors that may contribute to bioactivity in Haliclona (Porifera, Haplosclerida)
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-06)
Sponges (phylum Porifera) are considered the most prolific source of
bioactive compounds of marine origin. These molecules have varied
chemical nature and have been shown to possess several properties, e.g.
antibacterial, ...
Optimisation and characterisation of cholecyst-derived extracellular matrix for abdominal wall reconstruction
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-19)
Polypropylene mesh was created by Usher in 1962 after he experienced unsatisfactory
results from using autografts and allografts for hernia repairs. More than fifty years later,
polypropylene is still the most popular ...
Laser Ablation for Microfluidic Applications: Simulation and Experimental Analysis of Microfluidic Geometries Fabricated with an Excimer Laser Incorporating a Novel Intelligent Pinhole Mask
(2011-09-30)
Excimer lasers have proven to be a useful tool for the precision removal of thin layers of polymer material. With the advent of polymer microfluidics, excimer lasers may have a role to play in the production of small volume ...
Advances in the testing of stereo image acquisition devices
(2014-01-04)
The core problem addressed in the current thesis is to provide a novel test bed
for depth map generation and stereo image-based algorithms. The test bed comprises
of elements such as (i) the choice and calibration of ...
Radiobiological modelling in Radiation Oncology
(2011-09-30)
Biological models potentially o er the ability to predict the response of tumour control to irradiation. A tumour control probability (TCP) model with excellent radiobiological pedigree was developed and examined to predict ...
Small-scale and decentralised wastewater treatment plant optimisation through real-time control
(2018-01-15)
There is increasing (and sometimes contradictory) demand on operators of small and decentralised wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to improve biological nutrient removal and energy efficiency. However such WWTPs can be ...
Regulation of Six1 and Eya1 during the formation of the preplacodal ectoderm in xenopus - towards a gene regulatory network of the developing neural plate border
(2017-01-06)
Cranial placodes are ectodermal thickenings in vertebrate embryos that give rise to many
sense organs and ganglia. All placodes arise from a common precursor, the pre-placodal
ectoderm (PPE). The latter develops during ...
Programmed DNA damage in myogenesis
(2017-02-23)
Skeletal muscle is a major tissue type in humans, comprising approximately 40% of total body mass in adults. Skeletal muscle is ultimately composed of elongated multinucleate cells known as myofibers. These myofibers are ...
High-resolution measurements of leakage flow through bileaflet mechanical heart valve hinges
(2017-02-24)
To restore proper function of the heart, diseased valves require repair or replacement. Mechanical heart valves are one of the treatments available. Despite their superior durability in comparison with biological prostheses, ...
