Magnetotelluric apparent resistivity tensors for improved interpretations and 3-D inversions
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019-07-25)
The complex magnetotelluric (MT) apparent resistivity tensor can be decomposed into two real tensors, the apparent resistivity and the resistivity phase tensors, which represent relationships between the observed electric ...
Bi-frequency symmetry difference EIT - feasibility and limitations of application to stroke diagnosis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-12-19)
Objective: Bi-Frequency Symmetry Difference (BFSD)-EIT can detect, localize and identify unilateral perturbations in symmetric scenes. Here, we test the viability and robustness of BFSD-EIT in stroke diagnosis. Methods: A ...
Analysis of a poly(ε-decalactone)/silver nanowire composite as an electrically conducting neural interface biomaterial
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-04-15)
Advancement in polymer technologies, facilitated predominantly through chemical engineering approaches or through the identification and utilization of novel renewable resources, has been a steady focus of biomaterials ...
Biodistribution and retention of locally administered human mesenchymal stromal cells: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction–based detection of human DNA in murine organs
(Elsevier, 2017-01-12)
Background. Determining the distributive fate and retention of a cell therapy product after administration is an essential part of characterizing it's biosafety profile. Therefore, regulatory guidelines stipulate that ...
Inefficiency in macromolecular transport of SCS‐based microcapsules affects viability of primary human mesenchymal stem cells but not of immortalized cells
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)
Microcapsules made of sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS) and poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) have been employed to encapsulate a wide range of established cell lines for several applications. However, little ...
Discovering protein drug targets using knowledge graph embeddings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-08-01)
Motivation
Computational approaches for predicting drug-target interactions (DTIs) can provide valuable insights into the drug mechanism of action. DTI predictions can help to quickly identify new promising (on-target) ...
A pilot study of the duration of GP consultations in Ireland
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-12-01)
General practitioner (GP)-led primary care is the linchpin of health care in Ireland. Reflecting international trends, there are increasing concerns about the sustainability of the current Irish GP service due to an ...
Exploring the multi-dimensionality of permanence and stability: Emotions, experiences and temporality in young people s discourses about long-term foster care in Ireland
(SAGE Publications, 2019-08-28)
This paper focuses on qualitative findings on how young people in long-term foster care in Ireland interpret permanence and stability. We focus principally on subjective and relational permanence, emphasising the significance ...
Burial of a child's remains: Resolving parental disputes
(Law Week Limited, 2013-02-28)
A dispute between parents as to where or how to dispose of their child's remains may seem too tragic to countenance. However, it can occur, understandably, where two parents live far apart (in different countries even), ...
The chemistry and topography of stabilized and functionalized graphene oxide coatings
(Wiley, 2018-08-01)
Graphene oxide (GO) thin films and coatings are regarded as superior in quality to other materials especially for biomedical applications. However, the lack of stability and understanding of their structure and defects ...
