El niño-southern oscillation influence on tropospheric mercury concentrations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-25)The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects the tropospheric concentrations of many trace gases. Here we investigate the ENSO influence on mercury concentrations measured in the upper troposphere during Civil Aircraft ... -
Elacytarabine has single-agent activity in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukaemia
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-06-15)Elacytarabine is a novel cytotoxic nucleoside analogue, independent of nucleoside transporters (e.g. human Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 [hENT1]) for cell uptake, and mechanisms of action similar to those of ... -
The elastic and ductile behaviour of CLT wall-floor connections and the influence of fastener length
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)An investigation was carried out to examine the influence of the fastener length on the elastic and ductile failure behaviour of typical steel-to-timber bracket connections in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) manufactured from ... -
Elastic Cherenkov effects in transversely isotropic soft materials-I: Theoretical analysis, simulations and inverse method
(Elsevier, 2016-06-25)A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named the elastic Cherenkov effect (ECE). The ECE ... -
Elastic interface acoustic waves in twinned crystals
(Elsevier, 2003)A new type of interface acoustic waves (IAW) is presented, for single-crystal orthotropic twins bonded symmetrically along a plane containing only one common crystallographic axis. The effective boundary conditions show ... -
Elastin-based hydrogel as a treatment for critical limb ischemia, an insight into the glyco-host response
(NUI Galway, 2019-10-01)Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is severe impairment of the microcirculation resulting in inflammation, ischaemic pain, non-healing ulcers and gangrene. Over 20% of patients have no option but to undergo a major limb amputation. ... -
Elastin-like polypeptide mediated proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory gene therapy for critical limb ischemia
(2014-12-17)Critical limb ischemia is a major clinical problem. Despite rigorous treatment regimes, there has been modest success in reducing the rate of amputations in these patients. Reduced level of blood flow and enhanced inflammation ... -
Elastin-like recombinamers-based hydrogel modulates the post-ischemic remodelling in a clinically-relevant model of myocardial infarction
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-17)Myocardial infarction (MI) belongs to the family of cardiovascular diseases and represents the primary cause of worldwide mortality. Despite the promising results achieved in both small and large animal studies, recent ... -
Elderly women regulate brain blood flow better than men do
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011-05-12)Background and Purpose-Orthostatic intolerance and falls differ between sexes and change with age. However, it remains unclear what role cerebral autoregulation may play in this response. This study was designed to determine ... -
Electric field stimulation for tissue engineering applications
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2021-01-05)Electric fields are involved in numerous physiological processes, including directional embryonic development and wound healing following injury. To study these processes in vitro and/or to harness electric field stimulation ... -
Electrical impedance tomography for static lesion detection and identification in the brain
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-20)There is a clinical need for a novel approach to the detection of brain haemorrhage and clots. Such static lesions are characteristic of important conditions such as stroke, and traumatic brain injury. In these conditions ... -
Electrical impedance tomography with exploitation of symmetry
(Bioengineering in Ireland 2018, 2018-01-26)Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique involving an electrode array positioned around the area of interest. Alternating current is injected, and voltage measured, between electrode pairs in a prescribed ... -
Electrically-Heated Ceramic Composite Tooling for Out-of-Autoclave Manufacturing of Large Composite Structures
(2011)This paper describes the development of electrically-heated ceramic composite tooling, aimed primarily at the manufacture of large composites structures, for aerospace or for wind energy. The tooling is designed to operate ... -
Electricity in a Climate Constrained World [Book Review]
(IEEE, 2014-01)This latest study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) on world electricity consumption, its current status, and the most likely developments we are going to see during the next few years. If you are familiar with ... -
Electro-elastic Lamb waves in dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-05-20)We study the propagation of Lamb waves in soft dielectric plates subject to mechanical and electrical loadings and find the explicit expressions for the dispersion equations in the cases of neo-Hookean and Gent dielectrics. ... -
Electro-mechanical response of a 3D nerve bundle model to mechanical loads leading to axonal injury
(Wiley, 2017-11-21)Traumatic brain injuries and damage are major causes of death and disability. We propose a 3D fully coupled electro-mechanical model of a nerve bundle to investigate the electrophysiological impairments due to trauma at ... -
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pattern formation. Here, to model these ... -
