Modulation of human uterine smooth muscle cell collagen contractility by thrombin, Y-27632, TNF alpha and indomethacin
(Springer, 2009-01-08)
Background: Preterm labour occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies and is a major cause of infant
morbidity and mortality. However, the pathways involved in regulating contractility in normal and preterm labour
are ...
Upregulation of PSCDBP, TLR2, TWIST1, FLJ35382, EDNRB, and RGS12 gene expression in human myometrium at labor.
(Sage, 2008)
The regulatory mechanisms underlying myometrial smooth muscle contractility during labor are poorly understood. The authors therefore investigated the transcriptional profile of the changes that occur in the human myometrium ...
Investigating the rationale for adopting an internationally-recognised project management methodology in Ireland: The view of the project manager
(Elsevier, 2009-11-05)
As businesses become more dependent on technology, effective project management has been recognised as a necessity, in order to lead and deliver quality software applications on time and within budget. One possible option ...
Expression of RHOGTPase regulators in human myometrium
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008-01-11)
Background: RHOGTPases play a significant role in modulating myometrial contractility in
uterine smooth muscle. They are regulated by at least three families of proteins, RHO guanine
nucleotide exchange factors (RHOGEFs), ...
The diffusion of WOZ: expanding the topology of IS innovations
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2006-12-05)
The growth and diffusion of self-service technology (SST) over the last decade has resulted in an increasing number of business and government transactions being completed without human assistance. One innovation in this ...
Feminism, modern philosophy and the future of legitimacy of international constitutionalism
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2009)
International constitutionalism relates to processes of limiting traditionally
unrestricted powers of states as ultimate subjects, law-makers and law-enforcers
of international law. Human rights occupy a central, but ...
Engineering assisted surgery: A route for digital design and manufacturing of customized maxillofacial implants
(Elsevier, 2007)
Rapid prototyping (RP) and more recently rapid manufacturing (RM) as a
part of Engineering Assisted Surgery enables manufacturing of customised
implants and prostheses prior to surgical procedures. Beginning with CT
...
Dependence of mechanical properties of polyamide components on build parameters in the SLS process
(Elsevier, 2007)
Customised properties of parts manufactured using the selective laser sintering process are achievable by variation of build parameters. The energy density, controlled by laser power, distance between scan lines and speed ...
Finite element predictions compared to experimental results for the effective modulus of bone tissue engineering scaffolds fabricated by selective laser sintering
(Springer Verlag, 2009)
A current challenge in bone tissue engineering is to create scaffolds with suitable mechanical properties, high porosity, full interconnectivity and suitable pore size. In this paper, polyamide and polycaprolactone scaffolds ...
Extension of the finite volume particle method to viscous flow
(Elsevier, 2009-03-20)
The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free method for fluid dynamics which allows simple and accurate implementation of boundary conditions and retains the conservation and consistency properties of classical ...
