Dissecting the pan-placodal gene regulatory network reveals novel interactions driving sense organ development in vertebrates
(2016-02-17)The genes encoding the transcription factor Six1, and its co-factor Eya1 together mark the embryonic territory - the pan-placodal ectoderm (PPE) - that gives rise to most cranial sense organs in vertebrates. Mutation of ... -
Distancing to self-protect: The perpetuation of inequality in higher education through socio-relational dis/engagement
(2011)This paper explores the social class-differentiated behaviours of access and traditional-entry students, based on a three-year constructivist grounded theory study with 45 undergraduates at an Irish university. The participant ... -
Distinct mechanisms underlie oral versus aboral regeneration in the cnidarian hydractinia echinata
(2014-10-24)Distinct mechanisms underlie oral versus aboral regeneration in Hydractinia echinata. Head regeneration is preceded by stem cell migration, proliferation and blastema formation. After decapitation stem cells migrate from ... -
Distributed dataflow processing of large RDF graphs
(2017-05-29)As part of the big data world, RDF, the graph-based data model of the Semantic Web, is growing in use. Consequently, the size of available RDF data is increasing and massive datasets are becoming commonplace. Nevertheless, ... -
A Distributed Semantic Microblogging Platform
(2008)The application showcases the ideas of a distributed, Semantic-Web enabled micro blogging architecture, providing a way to leverage this new Web 2.0 practice to the Semantic Web. -
The distribution of economic well-being within the Northwest region
(De Gruyter Open, 1989)For many years, geographers have concerned themselves with the spatial dimension of economic development and with the fact that the pattern of development, whether it occurs under capitalist or socialist regimes, tends ... -
Distribution of tract deficits in schizophrenia
(BioMed Central, 2014-04-02)Background: Gray and white matter brain changes have been found in schizophrenia but the anatomical organizing process underlying these changes remains unknown. We aimed to identify gray and white matter volumetric changes ... -
Diversion: A comparative study of law and policy relating to defendants and offenders with mental health problems and intellectual disability
(2013-11-29)This thesis examines law and policy relating to defendants and offenders with mental health problems and intellectual disability. It is a comparative study of diversion in Ireland, England and Wales, Northern Ireland, ... -
Diversity, species concepts and phylogenetic relationships of some marine algae in a perspective of Biodiscovery
(2013-06-06)The overall goal was to investigate the genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of some groups of marine algae of particular interest from a taxonomic and biogeographic point of view in a perspective of ... -
Divided attention in older but not younger adults is impaired by anxiety
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)It has been hypothesized that the disruptive effects of negative emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, may contribute to poorer performance in older age. Some studies have reported that higher levels of anxiety ... -
dlvhex-sparql: A SPARQL-compliant query engine based on dlvhex
(CEUR, 2007)This paper describes the dlvhex SPARQL plugin, a query processor for the upcoming Semantic Web query language standard by W3C. We report on the implementation of this languages using dlvhex, a flexible plugin system ... -
DNA binding, cleavage and cytotoxicity of a novel dimetallic Fe(III) triaza-cyclononane complex
(Elsevier, 2016-03-03)A novel bimetallic Fe(III) complex with the bis(triaza-cyclononane) ligand 2,6-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-ylmethyl)-4-methylphenol (bcmp) is reported. [Fe-2(bcmp(-H))(mu-OH)Cl-2]Cl-2 (2) contains two octahedral Fe(III) ... -
