Dependence of pyranose ring puckering on anomeric configuration: methyl idopyranosides
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012-06-07)In the aldohexopyranose idose, the unique presence of flexibility, rendering it challenging to study experimentally and an three axial ring hydroxyl groups causes considerable conformational excellent model for rationalizing ... -
Dependence-Deconstruction: Widening Participation and Traditional-Entry Students Transitioning from School to Higher Education in Ireland
(2011)Equality and quality in higher education (HE) are frequently juxtaposed in the literature. This paper presents evidence to contest deficit assumptions about widening participation, particularly the belief that entering HE ... -
Depression and sickness behavior are janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways
(Springer Nature, 2012-06-29)It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by ... -
Deprivation and access to work in Dublin city: the impact of transport disadvantage
(Elsevier, 2016-09-29)Ireland's economy underwent a period of rapid expansion between 1995 and 2007, accompanied by a boom in construction. The subsequent decade saw a rapid decline in construction as Ireland went through an unprecedented ... -

Deprivation and its measurement in later life: findings from a mixed-methods study in Ireland
(Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, 2012-11)Against the background of an ageing population and the current economic recession, the research reported here explores deprivation, and its measurement, for diverse groups of older people living in Ireland. We assess the ... -
Depth of field reduction for miniature-camera imaging
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-25)This thesis investigates the reduction of depth-of- field for miniature camera systems, such as the ones embedded in smartphones. The work on digital shallow depth-of- field is already mature and implemented in most modern ... -
Deregulated expression of the hsp40 family members auxilin-1 and -2 is indicative of proteostasis imbalance and predicts patient outcome in ph+ leukemia
(Springer Nature, 2015-12-01)Background: Proteostasis is defined by the orchestrated control of anabolic and catabolic protein pathways. Disruption of proteostasis results in cell stress and adaptation to proteostasis imbalance is mediated by adaptive ... -
Derivative estimation for longitudinal data analysis: examining features of blood pressure measured repeatedly during pregnancy
(Wiley, 2018-05-20)Estimating velocity and acceleration trajectories allows novel inferences in the field of longitudinal data analysis, such as estimating change regions rather than change points, and testing group effects on nonlinear ... -
Derivative Estimation in Noisy Data; an Additive Penalty P-Spline Approach
(2010-12-20)In many situations it is of primary interest to estimate the rate of change of the relationship between response and explanatory variables. In this thesis derivative estimation using spline smoothing is explored. A review ... -

Derived stimulus relations, semantic priming, and event-related potentials: testing a behavioral theory of semantic networks
(Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005-11-01)Derived equivalence relations, it has been argued, provide a behavioral model of semantic or symbolic meaning in natural language, and thus equivalence relations should possess properties that are typically associated with ... -

Describing Linked Datasets - On the Design and Usage of voiD, the 'Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets'
(2009)In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of voiD, the \Vocabulary Of Interlinked Datasets", a vocabulary that allows to formally describe linked RDF datasets. We report on use cases for voiD, the current state ... -
Describing the indescribable: Lexical obscurity and biblical exegesis in early medieval Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-27)In the seventh century, medieval Irish scholars, who had received and internalised an educational system that placed the Bible at its very centre, began to produce texts that were marked by innovation in artistic style and ... -
Design and characterization of a three-layer collagen-based scaffold to modulate BMSC behaviour for enthesis regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)The enthesis is a specialised tissue interface between tendon and bone, essential for adequate force transmission. Following injuries and surgical repair, the enthesis is often not re-established and traditionally used ... -
Design and characterization of synthetic biodegradable films for soft tissue engineering
(SciTePress, 2019)To repair soft tissue, it is vital to ensure that the biomaterial is able to mimic the complex elasticity of the native tissue. Substrate stiffness has a huge influence on cell physiology and behaviour. The present study ... -
Design and development of a performance evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-02)In this dissertation, a comprehensive evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems that are implemented in consumer electronics applications is developed. For this, firstly, a detailed literature review ... -
Design and development of polymeric transfection vectors for gene delivery in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
(2014-07-23)Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is caused by mutations in the collagen VII gene (COL7A1) that lead to an alteration of function or a reduction in the amounts of collagen VII protein (C7). Any of these ... -
