(Royal Irish Academy, 2020)William King (1809 86) was the founding Professor of Mineralogy and Geology at Queen s College Galway (QCG), one of three regional colleges opened in 1849 to provide secular university-level education in Ireland. King came ... -
Plant-pollinator interactions in semi-natural grasslands: Evaluation, monitoring and conservation
(NUI Galway, 2021-01-14)Pollinators provide a vital ecosystem service by pollinating many commercial and wild plant species. Agricultural intensification is one of the main drivers of global pollinator population declines, with consequences for ... -
Macromolecular crowding transforms regenerative medicine by enabling the accelerated development of functional and truly three-dimensional tissue moduli
(NUI Galway, 2020-11-04)Scaffold-free in vitro organogenesis exploits the innate ability of cells to synthesise and deposit their own extracellular matrix to fabricate tissue-like assemblies. Unfortunately, traditional cell-assembled tissue ... -
Applying informal health reports and search queries for public health monitoring: An evaluation of characteristics, potentials, and requirements of online self-reporting, discussions, and search behaviour
(NUI Galway, 2021-01-13)The introduction of digital data sources has positively impacted public health surveillance and has paved the way for novel approaches. Internet-based sources provide large volumes of data which can be analysed in near ... -
An adaptive bitrate switching algorithm for speech applications in the context of WebRTC
(NUI Galway, 2020-12-01)Web Real-time Communication (WebRTC) provides a set of novel technologies and standards that enable high-quality audio, video, conference calls, and arbitrary data exchange over web browsers. It enables peer-to-peer ... -
Synergy between embedding and protein functional association networks for drug label prediction using harmonic function
(ACM and IEEE, 2020-10-16)Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) is an approach to machine learning that makes use of unlabeled data for training with a small amount of labeled data. In the context of molecular biology and pharmacology, one can take advantage ... -
Ring(s) of truth: responses regarding curious ring-marks at Dowth
(Wordwell, 2019)Joe Fenwick shares some responses to his question regarding curious ring-marks at Dowth. -
Evaluation of non-ideal piston stopping effects on the “adiabatic core” and ignition delay time simulation in rapid compression machines
(Elsevier, 2020-05-30)Piston creep and rebound are two non-ideal piston stopping behaviors in the rapid compression machine. Compared to nominal piston stopping, piston rebound/creep will result in a smaller/bigger 'adiabatic' core zone volume ... -
A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-and 2-pentene
(Elsevier, 2020-10-15)1- and 2-pentene are components in gasoline and are also used as representative alkene components in gasoline surrogate fuels. Most of the available ignition delay time data in the literature for these fuels are limited ... -
A chemical kinetic perspective on the low-temperature oxidation of propane/propene mixtures through experiments and kinetic analyses
(Elsevier, 2020-10-21)Our understanding of fuel oxidation has improved with rigorous experimental and theoretical investigations being performed in recent years. As investigation methods evolve, our understanding of fundamental fuel chemistry ... -
Microcavity array supported lipid bilayer models of ganglioside – influenza hemagglutinin1 binding
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-08-07)The binding of influenza receptor (HA(1)) to membranes containing different glycosphingolipid receptors was investigated at Microcavity Supported Lipid Bilayers (MSLBs). We observed that HA(1)preferentially binds to GD1a ... -
The regenerative capacity of bone tissue and autograft dust exposed to heat shock induced by high speed surgical cutting
(NUI Galway, 2021-01-08)High speed surgical cutting tools induce heat (>47°C) for short durations on bone tissue, leading to a thermally-induced cell death in bone cells. Post-operative bone healing at the cut surface and bone dust are important ... -
Probing sulfatide-tissue lectin recognition with functionalized glycodendrimersomes
(Cell Press, 2021-01-22)The small 3-O-sulfated galactose head group of sulfatides, an abundant glycosphingolipid class, poses the (sphinx-like) riddle on involvement of glycan bridging by tissue lectins (sugar code). First, synthesis of head group ... -
Building blocks from monosaccharides for synthesis of scaffolds, including macrocycles. Application of allylic azide rearrangement, azide-alkyne cycloaddition and ring closing metathesis
(Elsevier, 2020-09-18)Synthesis of compounds with characteristics of natural products are required to increase the diversity and biological relevance of compounds for screening. These include new frameworks/scaffolds, with multiple stereogenic ... -
