Computational modelling of ovine critical-sized tibial defects with implanted scaffolds and prediction of the safety of fixator removal
(Elsevier, 2015-01-14)Computational model geometries of tibial defects with two types of implanted tissue engineering scaffolds, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)/β-TCP, are constructed from µ-CT scan images of the ... -
Computational Selection of Transcriptomics Experiments Improves Guilt-by-Association Analyses
(PLos ONE, 2012-08-07)The Guilt-by-Association (GBA) principle, according to which genes with similar expression profiles are functionally associated, is widely applied for functional analyses using large heterogeneous collections of transcriptomics ... -
Computational simulation of the relaxation of local stresses due to foreign object damage under cyclic loading
(2010)In this study, the phenomenon of residual stress relaxation from foreign object damage (FOD) is numerically simulated using a hybrid explicit¿implicit finite-element method. The effects of cycle fatigue loadings on stress ... -

Concepts of illness causation and attitudes to health care among older people in the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2002-01)Fifty-one older people (26 of them women) in the Republic of Ireland were interviewed using a semi-structured schedule on their health and illness experiences at three different time points in their lives; as children, as ... -
A conceptual history of the idea of self-causation: from Plato's forms to Hegel's concrete universal
(2015-09-29)The dissertation is a historical-cum-conceptual examination of the idea of self-causation (causa sui). In the Western metaphysical tradition, self-causation has been understood in two ways: (i.) as an individual existent’s ... -
