Characterisation of novel ATM-interacting factors involved in double-strand break repair
(2012-10-22)Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare human disease characterized by cerebellar degeneration, immune system defects and cancer predisposition. The disease has been the subject of intense scientific scrutiny, particularly ... -
Characterisation of novel Histone H3 RAD9 mutants defective in the DNA damage response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2013-02-28)The DNA damage response (DDR) is a signal transduction cascade, which regulates cell cycle progression, gene transcription and DNA repair. Histones also play a vital role in the activation of the DDR and have been shown ... -
Characterisation of rotationally moulded polymer liners for low permeability cryogenic applications in composite overwrapped pressure vessels
(2016-09-20)Composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) have become a critical component in satellite and space applications due to their ability to store highly permeating fuels at high pressures and under cryogenic conditions. ... -
Characterisation of the differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) gene in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2008-10-04)Increased levels of differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) mRNA transcripts have been reported in fish after activation of the acute phase response. While the function of the DRTP1 protein still remains to be ... -
Characterisation of the molecular and functional changes exerted on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by prostate cancer cells
(2016-07-01)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogenous population of multipotent cells that are capable of differentiating into osteocytes, chondrocytes and adipocytes. MSCs reside in various areas such as the bone marrow, ... -
Characterisation of UVA-induced DNA damage responses in human skin cells
(2013-09-30)Accumulating evidence indicates that exposure to long-wavelength ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation (315-400 nm), which accounts for >95% of solar UV radiation reaching the earth's surface, is a significant risk factor for the ... -
Characterising the anisotropic mechanical properties of excised human skin
(2012)The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study, we have investigated the influence of location and ... -
Characterising the marine Natura 2000 network for the Atlantic region
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008)1. One of the goals for Natura 2000, a key European Community programme of nature conservation, is to produce a network of protected areas. An analysis of the Natura 2000 marine sites proposed in the most recently agreed ... -
Characteristic classes of complexified bundles
(Summer School in Algebraic Topology: Sheaf theoretic methods in the theory of characteristic classes, 2007)We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles . In particular, all the classes coming from real vector bundles are computed. We use characteristic classes with the ax-ioms of ... -
Characterization of a Crustal Transition Zone in Northern Tibet using Magnetotelluric Modelling
(2013-10-25)The overall objective of the final phase of the INDEPTH (International Deep Profiling of Tibet and Himalaya) project has been to develop a better understanding of the structure and evolution of the northern margins of the ... -
Characterization of an extendable multi-leaf collimator for clinical electron beams
(Institute of Physics, 2011)An extendable x-ray multi-leaf collimator (eMLC) is investigated for collimation of electron beams on a linear accelerator. The conventional method of collimation using an electron applicator is impractical for conformal, ... -
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 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 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 ... -
Charging for public participation: fees for submissions or observations on Environmental Impact Assessment
(SAGE Publications, 2007)In case C-216/05, Commission v Ireland, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that Irish legislation which required the payment of a fee by those making submissions regarding an environmental impact assessment (EIA) ... -
Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-10)Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features ... -
Chemical Amendment of Dairy Slurry For The Control of Phosphorus in Runoff From Grassland
(2011-09-28)Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland to a waterbody can adversely affect water quality. Land application of dairy cattle slurry can result in incidental P losses to runoff in addition to increased chronic P losses from soil ... -
Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 hours after application.
(2013)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
