Experimental and finite element investigations of the serviceability behaviour of CLT floors
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-06)
Global environmental concerns with regard to sustaining our growing population is prompting the building community worldwide to increase urban density, while using optimised and sustainable resources. The traditional ...
Applying informal health reports and search queries for public health monitoring: An evaluation of characteristics, potentials, and requirements of online self-reporting, discussions, and search behaviour
(NUI Galway, 2021-01-13)
The introduction of digital data sources has positively impacted public health surveillance and has paved the way for novel approaches. Internet-based sources provide large volumes of data which can be analysed in near ...
Knowledge graph mining with latent shape graphs
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-21)
Knowledge graphs are graph-structured knowledge bases that have shown to be of great value in many Artificial Intelligence applications in academia and industry alike. They are typically generated automatically from un-/semi- ...
Fabrication of biomimetic electrodes by laser processing and two photon lithography
(NUI Galway, 2020-06-07)
The brain machine interface BMI describes a group of technologies capable of communicating with excitable nervous tissue within the central nervous system (CNS). BMI’s have seen major advances in recent years, but these ...
Porcine peritoneum: A multifunctional xenograft for a diverse range of clinical indications
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-18)
Decellularised xenografts are an inherent component of regenerative medicine. Their preserved structure, mechanical integrity and biofunctional composition have well established them in reparative medicine for a diverse ...
Estrogen deficiency alters the mechanobiological responses of osteoblasts and osteocytes
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-03)
Osteoporosis is most commonly manifested following menopause when estrogen
production is deficient and, as a result, bone loss and changes in bone composition
occur leading to bone fractures. Estrogen inhibits bone ...
Graph-based diffusion methods for node classification and link prediction
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-13)
Graphs are common representation tools to organize information from heterogeneous
sources. They have been applied in various domains such as the scientific, engineering,
political, and business sectors. The large volume ...
Electrical impedance tomography for static lesion detection and identification in the brain
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-20)
There is a clinical need for a novel approach to the detection of brain haemorrhage and clots. Such static lesions are characteristic of important conditions such as stroke, and traumatic brain injury. In these conditions ...
Estrogen withdrawal in osteocytes results in altered integrin function, primary cilium elongation, and increased pro-osteoclastogenic signalling
(NUI Galway, 2020-06-28)
Osteocytes are the main mechanosensitive cells within bone. They detect changes in the mechanical environment and transduce them into biochemical responses (RANKL, OPG, and sclerostin) that regulate bone remodelling by ...
Thrombus analogue material: Mechanical characterisation and use in in-vitro modelling of acute ischemic stroke treatment
(NUI Galway, 2020-06-03)
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), which accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes globally, is among the leading causes of death and long-term disability. It occurs when a blood clot causes an occlusion in a blood vessel, ...
