Outcomes for permanence and stability for children in care in Ireland: implications for practice
(Oxford University Press, 2018-09-24)
This paper reports on a qualitative study of outcomes for permanence and stability for children in long-term care in Ireland. The aim of this research was to inform social work practitioners on how to enhance stability and ...
Anti-donor antibody induction following intramuscular injections of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells
(Wiley, 2018-02-15)
Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (allo-MSC) are a promising "off-the-shelf" therapy with anti-inflammatory and pro-repair properties. This study investigated humoral immune responses to intramuscular (IM) injections ...
Self-supporting carbon nanotube films as flexible neural interfaces
(Elsevier, 2018-10-26)
Advances in neural interface technologies have sought to identify electroactive materials that are able to translate neural depolarisation events into digital signals or modulate neural firing through ionic or electrical ...
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 ...
Phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of human intermediate monocytes based on HLA-DR expression
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
Human blood monocytes are subclassified as classical, intermediate and nonclassical. In this study, it was shown that conventionally defined human intermediate monocytes can be divided into two distinct subpopulations with ...
Chirality-sorted carbon nanotube films as high capacity electrode materials
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-30)
Carbon nanomaterials show great promise for a wide range of applications due to their excellent physicochemical and electrical properties. Since their discovery, the state-of-the-art has expanded the scope of their application ...
VID-WIN: Fast video event matching with query-aware windowing at the edge for the internet of multimedia things
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-04-23)
Efficient video processing is a critical component in many IoMT applications to detect events of interest. Presently, many window optimization techniques have been proposed in event processing with an underlying assumption ...
