Calibrated whole building energy simulation: An evidence-based methodology
(2011-01)
Climate change, driven by global energy consumption, is one of the major challenges to humanity today. The buildings sector consumes a significant portion of global energy resources and much of this is due to inefficient ...
Nitrogen removal using partial nitritation-anammox process
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-26)
The partial nitritation-anammox (PN-A) process is a promising biological nitrogen-removal process. Compared with the conventional autotrophic nitrification-heterotrophic denitrification process, it requires no organic ...
Fibrin-in-fibrin intervention for enhanced dopaminergic graft survival in Parkinson’s disease: Special focus on brain N-glycans
(NUI Galway, 2019-11-07)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused due to the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) translating into the classical motor symptoms ...
Biophysical and biochemical microenvironmental cues for tenogenic phenotype maintenance, differentiation and trans-differentiation in vitro
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-19)
Tendon injuries affect tens of millions of people worldwide each year and as the average lifespan increases their occurrence also increases, Achilles rupture rates alone have increased by ≈ 1000% in the last 40 years. ...
Piezoelectric scaffolds: Mediating tendon regeneration by activation of piezosensitive receptors
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-15)
Tendon disease caused by trauma, illness or age-related degeneration constitutes an unmet clinical need. Tendon repair using different pharmacological and engineering strategies based on both synthetic and biological grafts ...
