A note on the evaluation of a beta-casein variant in bovine breeds by allele-specific PCR and relevance to beta-casomorphin
(Teagasc; De Gruyter Open, 2008)
Two genetic variants of the bovine beta-casein gene (A(1) and B) encode a histidine residue at codon 67, resulting in potential liberation of a bioactive peptide, beta-casomorphin, upon digestion. An allele-specific PCR ...
Youth mentoring and the parent-young person relationship: considerations for research and practice.
(The National Youth Agency, 2008)
Over recent years, youth mentoring has become increasingly popular as an intervention for young people deemed to be in need of support. There is a need, however, to pay attention to the potential impact of mentoring on ...
Like a rolling stone: the mobility of maerl (corallinaceae) and the neutrality of the associated assemblages.
(Ecological Society of America, 2008)
Beds of non-attached coralline algae (maerl or rhodoliths) are widespread and considered relatively species rich. This habitat is generally found in areas where there is chronic physical disturbance such that maerl thalli ...
The influence of nursing home residency on the capacities of low-dependency older adults
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-10-14)
Objective: With the growing number of low-dependency older adults in long-stay care and the lack of categorisation of these institutions in the Republic of Ireland, it can be asked if such facilities are truly beneficial. ...
Deciding on open innovation: an exploration of how firms create and capture value with open source software
(Springer Verlag, 2008-10)
Open innovation is a paradigm that proposes that firms can and should use external as well as internal innovations/ideas. A popular example of open innovation has been open source software (OSS). The key issues facing ...
Augmentation of endogenous cannabinoid tone modulates lipopolysaccharide-induced alterations in circulating cytokine levels in rats
(Blackwell, 2008-10)
The endogenous cannabinoid system plays an important role in regulating the immune system. Modulation of endogenous cannabinoids represents an attractive alternative for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. This study ...
Hypertonic saline reduces inflammation and enhances the resolution of oleic acid induced acute lung injury
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2008-07-08)
Background:
Hypertonic saline (HTS) reduces the severity of lung injury in ischemia-reperfusion, endotoxin-induced and ventilation-induced lung injury. However, the potential for HTS to modulate the resolution of lung ...
Characterisation of the differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) gene in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2008-10-04)
Increased levels of differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) mRNA transcripts have been reported in fish after activation of the acute phase response. While the function of the DRTP1 protein still remains to be ...
Irelands foreign-owned technology sector: evolving towards sustainability?
(Wiley, 2008)
For some, Ireland¿s pursuit of an exogenous-led development model has proved to be the cornerstone of recent economic success. Others point to recent high-profile closures and argue that foreign-owned operations are attracted ...
HFACS with an additional level of granularity: validity and utility in accident analysis.
(2008)
Introduction: This paper represents an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the Department of Defense's Human Factors Analysis and Classification (DOD-HFACS) system. DOD-HFACS delineates the human factors causes of ...
