Feasibility of water content-based dielectric characterisation of biological tissues using mixture models
(IEEE, 2019-01-23)
This study quantitatively examines the validity of mixture formulae as models to describe the microwave-range dielectric properties of biological tissue of varying water content. Mixture formulae, specifically the Maxwell ...
Gamma band light stimulation in human case studies: Groundwork for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment
(IOS Press, 2019-05-27)
It is known that proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis are significantly reduced by 40¿Hz entrainment in mice. If this were to translate to humans, verifying that such a light stimulus can induce ...
Practice guidance for culturally sensitive practice in working with children and families who are asylum seekers: learning from an early years study in Ireland
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-09)
This article is based on a study of two early years services in the West of Ireland which was attended mostly by asylum seekers. Using a sample of the findings for illustration, we discuss how the study captured an example ...
One size does not fit all: querying web polystores
(IEEE, 2019-01-17)
Data retrieval systems are facing a paradigm shift due to the proliferation of specialized data storage engines (SQL, NoSQL, Column Stores, MapReduce, Data Stream, and Graph) supported by varied data models (CSV, JSON, ...
A critical overview of the significance of power and power relations in practice with children in foster care: evidence from an Irish study
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-02-14)
This paper is based on findings from an Irish study of permanence and stability outcomes for children in long-term care which involved biographical narrative interviews with 27 children, young people, parents and foster ...
Bi-frequency symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography a novel technique for perturbation detection in static scenes
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02-20)
Objective: A novel method for the imaging of static scenes using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is reported with implementation and validation using numerical and phantom models. The technique is applicable to regions ...
The synergistic effects of gold particles and dexamethasone on the electrochemical and biological performance of PEDOT neural interfaces
(MDPI, 2019-01-05)
Although neural devices have shown efficacy in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, their functionality is limited by the inflammatory state and glial scar formation associated with chronic implantation. The aim ...
Electrodeposited poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) films as neural interfaces: Cytocompatibility and electrochemical studies
(Elsevier, 2019-02-06)
Conducting polymers have been extensively reported as promising coating materials for applications involving interactions with electrically excitable tissues. Specifically, metal electrodes functionalized with conducting ...
Folk belief and landscape in Connacht: accounts from the Ordnance Survey letters
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-03)
The Ordnance Survey of Ireland, carried out in the early-nineteenth century, was not just the process of mapping and collecting place names for translation as it is frequently depicted. The director of the Ordnance Survey, ...
High-risk corneal transplantation: Recent developments and future possibilities
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2019-12)
Human corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is typically considered to have superior short- and long-term outcomes and lower requirement for immunosuppression compared to solid organ transplants because of the inherent ...
