Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
(Bentham Science, 2012)
Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ...
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2012-04)
Cloud computing has emerged strongly into the consumer domain. As industry competes to gain market share from the rapidly growing multitudes of cloud-IT users, both network and data center infrastructures will grow more ...
Understanding Patent Applications [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012)
In order to obtain the grant of a patent, a person or more commonly an organization, must file an application at a patent office with jurisdiction to grant a patent in the relevant geographic area. This is often be a ...
Mannosylated Polyethyleneimine-Hyaluronan Nanohybrids for Targeted Gene Delivery to Macrophage-Like Cell Lines
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-02)
Nonviral gene delivery systems have a number of limitations including low transfection efficiency, specificity, and cytotoxicity, especially when the target cells are macrophages. To address these issues, the hypothesis ...
Single Cyclized Molecule Versus Single Branched Molecule: A Simple and Efficient 3D "Knot" Polymer Structure for Nonviral Gene Delivery
(American Chemical Society, 2012-02-12)
The large research effort focused on enhancing nonviral transfection vectors has clearly demonstrated that their macromolecular structure has a significant effect on their transfection efficacy. The 3D branched polymeric ...
NUI Galway - UL Alliance Engineering, Informatics and Science Research Day 2013 - Book of Abstracts
(NUI Galway, 2013)
This is the book of research abstracts from the NUI Galway - University of Limerick Third Annual Engineering, Informatics and Science Research Day, held in the National University of Ireland, Galway, on 11 April 2013. This ...
A review of phosphorus and sediment release from Irish tillage soils, the methods used to quantify losses and the current state of mitigation practice.
(2012)
Throughout the European Union (EU), agricultural soils with high phosphorus (P) status due to a surplus input of fertiliser have been identified as a landscape pressure impacting on water quality. In the Republic of Ireland, ...
A Biomaterial Approach to Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Bridging the Peripheral Nerve Gap and Enhancing Functional Recovery
(The Royal Society, 2011-11)
Microsurgical techniques for the treatment of large peripheral nerve injuries (such as the gold standard autograft) and its main clinically approved alternative 'hollow nerve guidance conduits (NGCs)' have a number of ...
Preferential cell response to anisotropic electro-spun fibrous scaffolds under tension-free conditions
(Springer, 2010-11)
Anisotropic alignment of collagen fibres in musculoskeletal tissues is responsible for the resistance to mechanical loading, whilst in cornea is responsible for transparency. Herein, we evaluated the response of tenocytes, ...
Simulation of the Mechanical Response of Cells on Micropost Substrates
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013-09-20)
Experimental studies where cells are seeded on micropost arrays in order to quantify their contractile behavior are becoming increasingly common. Interpretation of the data generated by this experimental technique is ...
