Changes in immunological profile of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells after differentiation: should we be concerned?
(Springer Nature, 2014-01-01)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an adult stromal cell population possessing potent differentiation capacity and a potential for use across major histocompatibility complex barriers. Although allogeneic MSCs have potent ... -
Changes in natural head position observed immediately and one year after rapid maxillary expansion
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005-10-28)Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) has been shown to increase nasal permeability and reduce nasal airway resistance. A number of studies have examined the relationship between RME and the change in airway resistance, or the ... -
Changes in the fractionation profile of Al, Ni and Mo during bioleaching of spent hydroprocessing catalysts with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-06-05)Spent hydroprocessing catalysts are known to contain a variety of potentially toxic metals and therefore studies on the bioavailability and mobility of these metals are critical for understanding the possible environmental ... -

Changing attitudes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation in older people: a 15-year follow-up study
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-03-01)Background: while it is well established that individual patient preferences regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may change with time, the stability of population preferences, especially during periods of social ... -
Changing diet and physical activity behaviour in type 2 diabetes
(NUI Galway, 2022-03-14)The aim of this thesis was to design an artefact to support diet and physical activity behaviour change in people with type 2 diabetes. The first step was to identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) in diet and physical ... -
Changing energy cultures? Household energy use before and after a building energy efficiency retrofit
(Elsevier, 2019-12-03)Government- and community-initiated energy retrofits of existing residential buildings abound across Europe. This paper argues that retrofitting initiatives need to extend their current emphasis on technical-material changes ... -
Changing patterns of employee voice: Case studies from the UK and Republic of Ireland
(Journal of Industrial Relations, 2004)In this paper we examine a wide range of employee voice mechanisms from a total of 18 case studies from the UK and Republic of Ireland. We examine how voice is defined by managers and how they link voice with improved ... -
Changing patterns of global staffing in the multinational enterprise: Challenges to the conventional expatriate assignment and emerging alternatives
(Elsevier, 2007)We argue that many MNCs continue to underestimate the complexities involved in global staffing and that organisations and academics must take a more strategic view of staffing arrangements in an international context. We ... -
Channel-ranked beamformer for the early detection of breast cancer
(EMW Publishing, 2010-01-01)Confocal Microwave Imaging (CMI) for the early detection of breast cancer is based on several assumptions regarding the dielectric properties of normal and malignant breast tissue. One of these assumptions is that the ... -
Chaos and Order in Agile Software Development: a Comparison of Two Software Development Teams in a Major IT Company
(2007)Agile methods have emerged and become popular over last few years as a response to shortcomings of the waterfall process model. However, agile processes are stamped by some as chaotic processes and are placed in opposition ... -
