On the table of marks of a direct product of finite groups
(2016-02-10)
The table of marks was first introduced by William Burnside in his book "Theory of groups of finite order" in
1955. The table of marks counts the number of fixed points one subgroup has in the action of the cosets of ...
Dissecting the pan-placodal gene regulatory network reveals novel interactions driving sense organ development in vertebrates
(2016-02-17)
The genes encoding the transcription factor Six1, and its co-factor Eya1 together mark the embryonic territory - the pan-placodal ectoderm (PPE) - that gives rise to most cranial sense organs in vertebrates. Mutation of ...

Invasive haemodynamic characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients presenting with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
(2016-01-12)
The present thesis is comprised of an introduction followed by eight chapters. The introduction gives an overview of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure and details the patient selection process. ...
Synthesis of novel glycolipids and investigation into the anomerisation of selenium glycosides
(2016-07-14)
The first section of this thesis describes the synthesis of novel glycosphingolipids with an α-triazole at the anomeric carbon. Glycosphingolipids are amphiphilic molecules containing a carbohydrate head glycosidically ...
Ultrashort pulse laser scribing of thin flexible glass
(2016-02-04)
Laser scribing of thin glass has proven problematic due to inefficient optical absorption and difficulty achieving economical processing speeds while maintaining edge quality. Laser processing of glass is pertinent to touch ...
Exosomal microRNAs in colorectal cancer
(2016)
Cancer cells have been shown to release a variety of extracellular membrane vesicles
including microvesicles known as exosomes. Exosomes have recently been found to
contain microRNAs (miRNAs) however the full range within ...
The perceived experiences of primary healthcare professionals in Ireland: interprofessional teamwork in practice.
(2016-05-04)
International trends indicate that countries promote and encourage the use of interprofessional teams as the preferred approach to delivering healthcare services to address the health and social care needs of their citizens. ...
Polarisation of synchrotron radiation from isolated neutron stars
(2016-03-10)
Pulsars are enigmatic neutron stars which have defied efforts to understand them for over 40 years. POREC (Pulsar Optical Reverse Engineering Code) was first written to constrain pulsar emission theories through constraining ...
