Ap1s3 mutations cause skin autoinflammation by disrupting keratinocyte autophagy and up-regulating il-36 production
(Elsevier BV, 2016-11-01)Prominent skin involvement is a defining characteristic of autoinflammatory disorders caused by abnormal IL-1 signaling. However, the pathways and cell types that drive cutaneous autoinflammatory features remain poorly ... -
Apartheid, international law, and the occupied palestinian territory
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-08-01)Apartheid is a loaded term; saturated with history and emotion. It conjures up images and memories of discrimination, oppression, and brutality; indulgence, privilege, and pretension; racism, resistance, and, ultimately, ... -
APCR, factor V gene known and novel SNPs and adverse pregnancy outcomes in an Irish cohort of pregnant women
(2010)Background: Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR), a poor anticoagulant response of APC in haemostasis, is the commonest heritable thrombophilia. Adverse outcomes during pregnancy have been linked to APCR. This study ... -

Aplanatic lens correctors for imaging optics
(NUI Galway, 2022-09-05)This thesis proposes analytically developed aplanatic field correctors. To begin, an astigmatism correction method for aplanatic Gregorian telescopes was developed employing two lenses with spherical surfaces and a ... -
App-supported promotion of child growth and development by community health workers in kenya: feasibility and acceptability study
(JMIR Publications Inc., 2017-12-05)Background: Early childhood is a critical phase of development. In low resource settings, monitoring this stage of development and providing appropriate and timely feedback is a challenge. Community-based service providers ... -
Appearance capturing and animation techniques for realistic, true-identity gaming avatars
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)Making use of a class of 2D statistical face models known as active appearance models (AAMs), we investigate a technique for generating real-time animated avatars suitable for video gaming. We consider here a number of ... -

Apples to apples: can differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and outcomes between sweden and ireland be explained by core utstein variables?
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-03)Background: Variation in reported incidence and outcome based on aggregated data is a persistent feature of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) epidemiology. Objective: To investigate the extent to which patient-level ... -
Applicability of condensation particle counters to measure atmospheric clusters
(Copernicus GmbH, 2008-07-25)This study presents an evaluation of a pulse height condensation particle counter (PH-CPC) and an expansion condensation particle counter (E-CPC) in terms of measuring ambient and laboratory-generated molecular and ion ... -
Applicability of FTIR-ATR method to measure carbonyls in blood plasma after physical and mental stress
(Hindawi, 2019-03-26)Introduction. Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses. It results in the oxidation of all cellular elements and, to a large extent, proteins, ... -
