Audiovisual translation in language teaching and learning
(Routledge, 2018-09-06)This chapter explores the use of AVT in language teaching and learning. It begins with a historical overview exploring the benefits of presenting language students with subtitled video material, and experimenting with ... -
Lipid lowering therapy, low-density lipoprotein level and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage – a meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-03-14)The association of lipid lowering therapy and intracerebral hemorrhage risk is controversial. We performed a cumulative meta-analysis of lipid lowering trials that reported intracerebral hemorrhage. Statin, fibrate, ... -
Influence of initial residual stress on growth and pattern creation for a layered aorta
(Nature Research, 2019-06-03)Residual stress is ubiquitous and indispensable in most biological and artificial materials, where it sustains and optimizes many biological and functional mechanisms. The theory of volume growth, starting from a stress-free ... -
Effect of individual plasma components on the performance of a glucose enzyme electrode based on redox polymer mediation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase
(Elsevier, 2019-02-11)The performance of glucose enzyme electrodes, consisting of crosslinked flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH), an osmium redox polymer and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on graphite electrodes, was ... -
Glucose biosensor based on open-source wireless microfluidic potentiostat
(Elsevier, 2019-02-17)Wireless potentiostats capable of cyclic voltammetry and amperometry that connect to the Internet are emerging as key attributes of future point-of-care devices. This work presents an "integrated microfluidic electrochemical ... -
The influence of surface composition of carbon nanotubes on the photobioelectrochemical activity of thylakoid bioanodes mediated by osmium-complex modified redox polymer
(Elsevier, 2019-04-17)A combination of photosynthetic biocatalysts with high surface area conductive materials mediated by an osmium-complex modified redox polymer (OsRP) holds promising features for the development of sustainable "green" systems ... -
TNF-a/IL-1ß-licensed mesenchymal stromal cells promote corneal allograft survival via myeloid cell-mediated induction of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in the lung.
(Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2019-05-20)Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promise as a therapy for immune-mediated disorders, including transplant rejection. Our group previously demonstrated the efficacy of pretransplant, systemic administration of ... -
A thermodynamic model of auto-regulated protein assembly by a supramolecular scaffold
(Wiley, 2019-03-12)Ligand-mediated regulation of protein assembly occurs frequently in different cellular contexts. Auto-regulated assembly, where a ligand acts as its own competitive inhibitor, provides a mechanism for exquisite control of ... -
Improving antimicrobial prescribing: a multinomial model identifying factors associated with first- and second-line prescribing
(Elsevier, 2018-12-13)Background/objectives: Broad-spectrum, second-line antimicrobials may be prescribed when initial first-line options prove ineffective. This study compares prescribing practices and identifies potential influencing factors ... -
Phosphorus and organic soils under grassland production: Assessment of phosphorus losses for a more sustainable agriculture
(NUI Galway, 2019-06-19)The intensification of agriculture in Ireland aims to increase the exports of dairy and beef products considerably in the coming years, which inevitably implies the expansion of grassland systems to areas that were ... -
Rivlin's legacy in continuum mechanics and applied mathematics
(The Royal Society, 2019-03-18)Over a long and distinguished career, Ronald Rivlin (figure 1) published more than 200 scientific papers. He was a highly innovative scientist who made seminal contributions in all areas of continuum mechanics. He was one ... -

John B. Wilkins: Accordia’s first Director (27.iv.1935 – 8.iii.2017)
(Accordia Research Institute, University of London, 2019)Sine amicitia, vitam esse nullam (Cicero, de Amicitia, 86) Neither the cursus honorum of an academic career nor a simple list of publications can capture the rich texture of a scholar’s life. This is especially true of ... -
She’s can be “heroes”: Female status and the Daunian stelae
(Accordia Research Institute, University of London, 2019)In Accordia Research Papers 11, Guilia Saltini Semerari published a thought-provoking article on ‘high status’ female burials in 6th century BC Basilicata. In this paper, she contended that ‘wealthy’ female burials should ... -

In search of the lost 'cromlech' of Knowth: Geophysical investigations in Area 10 of the Knowth Passage Tomb cemetery, Brú na Bóinne, Co. Meath.
(Meath Archaeological and Historical Society, 2019)The passage tomb cemetery of Knowth (Fig. 1) is part of the UNESCO Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site, Co. Meath. It forms an integral and important component of what was once a great prehistoric numinous precinct embraced ... -
Tuning the pull-in instability of soft dielectric elastomers through loading protocols
(Elsevier, 2019-03-22)Pull-in (or electro-mechanical) instability occurs when a drastic decrease in the thickness of a dielectric elastomer results in electrical breakdown, which limits the applications of dielectric devices. Here we derive the ... -
Relationships between wood properties of small clear specimens and structural-sized boards in three softwood species
(De Gruyter, 2019-06-12)Research on the mechanical and physical properties of wood is commonly carried out on either small clear specimens or structural-sized boards. The first approach was more frequently utilised in the past, while the latter ...
