Characterization of polymorphic microsatellites for the rough periwinkle gastropod, littorina saxatilis (olivi, 1792) and their cross-amplification in four congeners
(Springer Nature, 2009-03-10)Eight new microsatellite loci were characterized for Littorina saxatilis (Olivi, 1792) and tested for their cross-hybridization in congeners. All loci were polymorphic in Irish and Celtic Sea samples, with an average number ... -
Characterization of post-traumatic immunosuppression and its partial reversal by autologous salvaged blood transfusion
(2015-01-28)Documentary evidence of post-traumatic immunosuppression (PTI) is traceable back to 1856. Although improved hygiene has ameliorated many risks, vulnerability to systemic infection following major surgery or closed injury ... -
Characterization of renewable reductants and charcoal-based pellets for the use in ferroalloy industries
(Elsevier, 2018-11-05)This study investigates the effect of high-temperature pyrolysis and post-treatment processes on spruce and oak charcoal yields and CO2 reactivity in a slow pyrolysis reactor. Post-treatment processes such as co-pyrolysis ... -

Characterization of separated pig manure composted with a variety of bulking agents at low initial C/N ratios
(2011)The aim of this study was to investigate the composting of separated pig manure solids with or without a variety of bulking agents at a low initial C/N ratio (12.5-23.3). Compost stability was investigated using an oxygen ... -
Characterization of the affective component of acute postoperative pain associated with a novel rat model of inguinal hernia repair pain
(Wiley, 2015-12-10)Aims: Acute postoperative pain remains a significant healthcare issue. Historically, the assessment of postoperative pain in rodents has relied on evoked withdrawal or reflexive measures. Using a recently developed, ... -

Characterization of the campylobacter jejuni heptosyltransferase ii gene, waaf, provides genetic evidence that extracellular polysaccharide is lipid a core independent
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002-04-15)Campylobacter jejuni produces both lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and a higher-molecular-weight polysaccharide that is believed to form a capsule. The role of these surface polysaccharides in C jejuni-mediated enteric disease ... -
Characterization of the exradin w1 plastic scintillation detector for small field applications in proton therapy
(IOP Publishing, 2018-04-10)Accurate dosimetry in small field proton therapy is challenging, particularly for applications such as ocular therapy, and suitable detectors for this purpose are sought. The Exradin W1 plastic scintillating fibre detector ... -
Characterization of the hydrodynamics and saltwater wedge variations in a coastal karst aquifer in response to tide and precipitation events (Bell Harbour catchment, county Clare, Ireland)
(2014-03-03)Low-lying coastal areas in the west of Ireland, such as the Galway and Clare coasts, have seen recent increases in flooding frequencies coupled with overall increases in sea level. The impacts of these changes are most ... -
Characterization of the intracellular glutamate decarboxylase system: analysis of its function, transcription, and role in the acid resistance of various strains of listeria monocytogenes
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-03-09)The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is important for the acid resistance of Listeria monocytogenes. We previously showed that under acidic conditions, glutamate (Glt)/gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) antiport is impaired ... -
Characterization of the ‘White’ appearing clots that cause acute ischemic stroke
(Elsevier, 2021-09-28)Objectives Most clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke are ‘red’ in color. ‘White’ clots represent a less common entity and their histological composition is less known. Our aim was to investigate the ... -
Characterization of two autoreplicative regions of the inchi2 plasmid r478: rephi2a and rephi1a(r478)
(Microbiology Society, 2001-06-01)Plasmids of the incompatibility groups HI and HII (IncH plasmids) generally confer multiple antibiotic resistances upon their host pathogenic strain. IncHI group plasmids are distinguished by their property of optimal ... -
Characterization of urban aerosol in cork city (ireland) using aerosol mass spectrometry
(Copernicus GmbH, 2013-05-15)Ambient wintertime background urban aerosol in Cork city, Ireland, was characterized using aerosol mass spectrometry. During the three-week measurement study in 2009, 93% of the ca. 1 350 000 single particles characterized ... -
Characterization of woodstove briquettes from torrefied biomass and coal
(Elsevier, 2019-01-18)Using waste biomass materials offers the potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Torrefaction is very useful for improving the fuel properties of biomass in order to better match those of coal. ... -
Characterizing nanoscale topography of the aortic heart valve basement membrane for tissue engineering heart valve scaffold design
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2006-02-01)A fully effective prosthetic heart valve has not yet been developed. A successful tissue-engineered valve prosthetic must contain a scaffold that fully supports valve endothelial cell function. Recently, topographic features ... -
Characterizing optical chirality
