Experiences of a “semantics smackdown”
(Springer Nature, 2016-02-18)Within the field of ocean science there is a long history of using controlled vocabularies and other Semantic Web techniques to provide a common and easily exchanged description of datasets. As an activity within the ... -
Experiences of dry soil mixing in organic soils
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012)Soil mixing, or soil stabilisation, is a method of enhancing the geotechnical properties of suitable host soil through the addition of cementitious and/or pozzolanic binders in either dry or slurry forms. In dry soil mixing, ... -
Experiences of ERP use in small enterprises
(2009)This paper investigates the role of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the context of small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). The paper reports on research findings from a case study that has been conducted ... -
Experiences of involuntary admission in an approved mental health centre
(Wiley, 2012-10-29)Accessible summary This qualitative study interviewed six people who had been detained in a psychiatric hospital in Ireland. The people interviewed had been detained. The study participants were asked to recall their ... -
The Experiences of Irish Nurse Lecturers Role Transition from Clinician to Educator
(2007)Described in this study are the experiences of six clinical nurses in Ireland who have transi-tioned to the role of nurse lecturer. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from these novice nurse lecturers. ... -
Experiences of stigma in healthcare settings by people living with HIV in Ireland: a qualitative study
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2020-06-16)Stigma in healthcare settings remains a barrier to accessing screening, treatment and care for HIV and is a driver of the global HIV epidemic. This study examined the stigma experiences in healthcare settings of people ... -
Experiencing visual impairment in a lifetime home: an interpretative phenomenological inquiry
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-19)Lifetime home standards (LTHS) are a set of standards aimed at making homes more accessible. Previous research, however, indicates that LTHS do not adequately meet the needs of those with sensory impairments. Now, with ... -
Experimental african trypanosome infection suppresses the development of multiple myeloma in mice by inducing intrinsic apoptosis of malignant plasma cells
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2017-08-07)Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM). Recently, several studies have highlighted the role of pathogens in either promoting or dampening malignancies ... -
An experimental and chemical kinetic modeling study of 1,3-butadiene combustion: Ignition delay time and laminar flame speed measurements
(Elsevier, 2018-09-10)Ignition delay times for 1,3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions relevant to practical combustors. The ignition delay times ... -
Experimental and computational analysis of the mechanical behavior of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) during degradation for medical implant applications
(2016-01-25)Biodegradable polymers such as PLGA have been used in a wide range of biomedical applications due to their hydrolytic degradation and biocompatibility. The mechanical performance of biodegradable polymers during degradation ... -
Experimental and computational characterization of the effect of manufacturing-induced defects on high temperature, low-cycle fatigue for MarBN
(Elsevier, 2020-05-22)Manufacturing-induced defects are a key source of crack initiation and component failure under high temperature cyclic loading. In this work, 3D X-ray micro-computed tomography and microstructural analysis of manufacturing-induced ... -
Experimental and computational examination of anastellin (FnIII1c)-polymer interactions
(Wiley, 2016-10-24)Using a combination of experimental and computational approaches, the interaction between anastellin, a recombinant fragment of fibronectin, and representative biomaterial surfaces has been examined. Anastellin and ... -

Experimental and computational investigation into mechanobiology of osteocytes
(2014-10-31)Osteocytes are terminally differentiated bone cells, derived from osteoblasts, which comprise over 90% of the cells in mature bone tissue and are known to be highly sensitive to extracellular mechanical cues. The effect ... -
An experimental and computational investigation into procedural complications relating to transcatheter aortic heart valves
(NUI Galway, 2018-02-20)Although transcatheter aortic valves are widely used for treatment of high to medium risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, there are still many associated procedural complications. In particular, new on-set conductance ... -
Experimental and computational investigation of adhesion junction mechanosensation
(2017-02-28)Bone is an adaptive tissue that remodels in response to the mechanical loads placed upon it during normal daily activity. This remodelling process is vital to maintaining the mechanical integrity, mass and structure of ... -
