Effects of combined progesterone and 17 beta-estradiol treatment on the transcriptome of cultured human myometrial smooth muscle cells
(American Physiological Society, 2016-01-01)A transcriptomic analysis of cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells (hUtSMCs) was performed to examine gene expression profiles in smooth muscle in an environment containing the two major steroid hormones that regulate ... -
Effects of combined progesterone and beta-estradiol treatment on the transcriptome of cultured human myometrial smooth muscle cells
(American Physiological Society, 2015)A transcriptomic analysis of cultured human uterine smooth muscle cells (hUtSMCs) was performed in order to examine gene expression profiles in smooth muscle in an environment containing the two major steroid hormones that ... -
Effects of complex hydrodynamic processes on the horizontal and vertical distribution of Tc-99 in the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-10-14)The increased discharge of Tc-99 from the Sellafield plant following the commissioning of the Enhance Actinide Removal Plant in 1994 was reflected in higher Tc-99 activity concentrations over much of the Irish Sea The ... -
The Effects of Electron-Withdrawing Ring Substituents on the Reactivity of Cyclopentadienyl Ruthenium Complexes
(2011-09-09)This thesis describes the synthesis of ruthenium complexes which contain cyclopentadienyl ligands with electron-withdrawing ring substituents and the effects of these substituents on the reactivity of the metal centre. ... -
Effects of Gamma Irradiation and Pasteurization on the Nutritive Composition of Commercially Available Animal Diets
(2008)Gamma radiation is used to sterilize diets for specific pathogen-free (SPF) animals. Because a gamma-irradiated diet was linked to leukoencephalomyelopathy in SPF cats, we investigated the effects of 'typical' (28.9-34.3 ... -
The effects of goal-setting on feedback requests.
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2012)Prior research suggests that performance feedback enhances the effect of a goal on performance. The current study examined the effect of goal level on feedback solicitation. Participants were exposed to five ... -
Effects of growth phase and temperature on sigma(B) Activity within a Listeria monocytogenes population: evidence for RsbV-independent activation of sigma(B) at refrigeration temperatures
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-03-05)The alternative sigma factor sigma(B) of Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for regulating the transcription of many of the genes necessary for adaptation to both food-related stresses and to conditions found within the ... -
Effects of hypoxia on the response of the haematopoietic system to radiation-induced DNA damage
(2017-05-09)Preparative regimens using DNA damaging agents such as total body irradiation (TBI) prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) have profound deleterious effects on the hematopoietic system including the stromal cells that ... -
The effects of implementing a Lean Six Sigma tool, Visual Process Controls, to improve month-end activities in a finance department - An Empirical Case Study
(2010-08-31)The world that companies operate in today forces them to continually seek out and strive for new cost savings and where possible create a competitive advantage. Lean, Lean Thinking and Lean Six Sigma has seen tools and ... -
Effects of in vitro endochondral priming and pre-vascularisation of human MSC cellular aggregates in vivo
(2015)Introduction: During endochondral ossification, both the production of a cartilage template and the subsequent vascularisation of that template are essential precursors to bone tissue formation. Recent studies have found ... -
Effects of long-term exposure of gelatinated and non-gelatinated cadmium telluride quantum dots on differentiated PC12 cells
(BioMed Central, 2012-01-20)Background: The inherent toxicity of unmodified Quantum Dots (QDs) is a major hindrance to their use in biological applications. To make them more potent as neuroprosthetic and neurotherapeutic agents, thioglycolic acid ... -
Effects of material thickness and processing method on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) degradation and mechanical performance
(Springer Verlag, 2016-09-02)In this study, the effects of material thickness and processing method on the degradation rate and the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) material during simulated physiological degradation ... -
Effects of proteasome inhibition on cisplatin induced DNA damage responses in human cells
(2012-02-07)The proteasome is the main site of protein degradation in human cells, and plays a major role in the regulation of cellular processes including cell cycle progression, DNA repair and the DNA damage response. Proteasome ... -
Effects Of See-Through Interfaces On User Acceptance Of Small-Screen Information Systems
(2008-11-26)Small-screen devices such as mobile phones are increasingly pervasive. Reduced screen areas compromise the ease-of-use of such devices, and consequently, a concern for system designers becomes the maximization of ... -
Effects of several types of biomass fuels on the yield, nanostructure and reactivity of soot from fast pyrolysis at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2016-03-24)This study presents the effect of biomass origin on the yield, nanostructure and reactivity of soot. Soot was produced from wood and herbaceous biomass pyrolysis at high heating rates and at temperatures of 1250 and 1400 ... -
Effects of stimulus synchrony on mechanisms of perceptual organization
(Taylor & Francis, 2001-06-05)When neurons adopt a synchronized, oscillatory response to stimulus Gestalten, the phase of those oscillations almost always varies relative to stimulus activity. This has been taken to indicate that form-coding mechanisms ... -
The effects of subthreshold synchrony on the perception of simultaneity
(Springer, 2007)We aimed to examine the effects of subthreshold synchrony and asynchrony on the perception of simultaneity. We rendered simultaneous or asynchronous luminance changes below detection thresholds by embedding them in a ... -
