Developing a culture of professional practice learning in an FET context
(NUI Galway, 2018-12)
This research explored ways of promoting a professional learning community (PLC) in the further education and training (FET) context. There was limited evidence related to teacher learning within the FET case study ...
Characterization of a novel zebrafish model of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-14)
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a congenital heart disorder characterized by replacement of the ventricular myocardium with fibrofatty tissue. The majority of cases are due to mutations in genes ...
Regulation of cell fate by microRNAs during unfolded protein response and its role in cancer
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-20)
The endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress is a common phenomenon in various cancers such as breast, colorectal, skin and hepatocellular carcinoma. Several pathophysiological events (e.g., radiation, aneuploidy, oncogenic ...
Developing the evidence base for a digital intervention to enhance adherence to medication in people with hypertension
(NUI Galway, 2018-07-17)
Background. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised pressure. It is a major modifiable risk factor for both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Hypertension is estimated ...
Genomic integrity of human norovirus and F-RNA bacteriophage as detected by RT-qPCR and its relationship to infectivity before and after UV-treatment
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-10)
A long-range RT (loRT) qPCR assay described to estimate levels of infectious virus was identified in the literature and applied to human norovirus (HuNoV) genogroups I and II (GI and GII), and the surrogate virus F-RNA ...
Transcriptome analysis in Hydractinia echinata reveals species-specific and phylum-wide gene loss
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-04)
The advances and subsequent widespread use of next-generation sequencing, in particular transcriptomics, has allowed biologists to approach questions and study many more powerful and previously underappreciated model animals ...
Optimisation of fatty acid production by selected microalgae for high-value applications
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-20)
Microalgae synthesize and produce large amounts of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA), with eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic (DHA, 22:6 n-3) acids being of particular interest. ...
An investigation of the relationship between international law, international politics and the state using Syria as a case study
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-20)
The thesis investigates the relationship between international law, international politics and the state using Syria as a case study. Syria was chosen because it has historically been the site of regional and international ...
Altering legacies as ‘A Farmer in My Own Right’: married women's experiences of farm property ownership in Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2018-01-31)
A number of women living on family farms own farm property in their own right. This is an unexplored research area in Ireland. Gender inequalities in the ownership and control of farm property have consequences for women’s ...
A study in carbohydrate chemistry: From anomerisation to synthesis of glycoclusters based on neoglycopeptides
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-08)
1,2-cis aminoglycosides are considered difficult to prepare in a highly stereoselective manner. Some strategies have been developed to date including the preparation of 2-azido, 2-benzylidine and 2,3-oxazolidinone glycosyl ...
