Discovery of Variability in the Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission of 1ES 1218+304 with VERITAS
(2010)We present results from an intensive VERITAS monitoring campaign of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 in 2008/2009. Although 1ES 1218+304 was detected previously by MAGIC and VERITAS at a persistent level ... -
Discovery of Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the BL Lac 1ES 0806+524
(2008)The high-frequency-peaked BL-Lacertae object \objectname{1ES 0806+524}, at redshift z=0.138, was observed in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray regime by VERITAS between November 2006 and April 2008. These data encompass ... -
Discovery of VHE $\gamma$-ray emission from the SNR G54.1+0.3
(2010)We report the discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the direction of the SNR G54.1+0.3 using the VERITAS ground-based gamma-ray observatory. The TeV signal has an overall significance of 6.8$\sigma$ and ... -
A discrete P⋅⋅⋅I I⋅⋅⋅P assembly: the large influence of weak interactions on the 31P NMR Spectra of Phosphane–Diiodine Complexes
(Wiley, 2006-02-06)Seeing I to I: The reaction of a weakly coordinating carboranyl phosphane ligand with I2 leads to the formation of an adduct containing the bridging P⋅⋅⋅I[BOND]I⋅⋅⋅P assembly in the solid state (see picture; I purple, P ... -
Discrete vector fields and the cohomology of certain arithmetic and crystallographic groups
(2015-05-26)This thesis has two main topics: Arithmetic groups and Crystallographic groups. The work on arithmetic groups SL(2, Z[1/m]) was motivated by a question of Kevin Hutchinson and also a generalization of the paper "On the ... -
Discursive representations and translation practice: the constructed reader of Irish literature in Italian
(2013-05-31)This thesis approaches translation as a transformative act, which involves the decontextualisation of the source text and its recontextualisation within the target language culture. For literary works, the attempt to make ... -
A Disequilibrium Macrodynamic Model of Fluctuations
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)A nonlinear disequilibrium macrodynamic model of uctuations in the labour and product markets, mediated by variations in factor shares, is developed and the exis- tence of a periodic orbit is proved using the Hopf ... -
The disfigured ontology of figurational sociology: Norbert Elias and the question of violence
(Sage, 2012)This article scrutinises Norbert Elias s figurational sociology byfocusing on its ontological foundations. The analytical spotlight is onthe inherent tension between Elias s stance of normative neutralityand detachment, ... -
A dislocation-based model for high temperature cyclic viscoplasticity of 9-12Cr steels
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-06-22)A dislocation-based model for high temperature cyclic viscoplasticity in 9–12Cr steels is presented. This model incorporates (i) cyclic softening via decrease in overall dislocation density, loss of low angle boundary ... -
Dispersal mode and assessments of recovery on the shores of Gruinard, the 'anthrax island'.
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Formaldehyde run-off was an unintended impact of the anthrax decontamination procedure on the island of Gruinard. The death of intertidal organisms was observed where formaldehyde reached the shore during 1986. The extent ... -
Displacement and relocation in early modern Ireland: Studies of transplantation settlement in Connacht and Clare
(2012-10-26)This thesis is a study of three diverse Catholic families that received land during the mid seventeenth-century Cromwellian transplantation to and within Connacht and Clare. Transplantees, while being united in their ... -
Disruption of microRNA Biogenesis Confers Resistance to ER Stress-Induced Cell Death Upstream of the Mitochondrion
(2013)Global downregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a common feature of human tumors and has been shown to enhance cancer progression. Several components of the miRNA biogenesis machinery (XPO5, DICER and TRBP) have been shown ... -
Disruption of NEDD8 protein conjugation as a novel therapy for acute myeloid leukemia
(2012-08-15)The coordinated balance between the synthesis and degradation of proteins is an important regulator of cancer cell biology. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is responsible for the timed destruction of many proteins ... -
Dissecting the pan-placodal gene regulatory network reveals novel interactions driving sense organ development in vertebrates
(2016-02-17)The genes encoding the transcription factor Six1, and its co-factor Eya1 together mark the embryonic territory - the pan-placodal ectoderm (PPE) - that gives rise to most cranial sense organs in vertebrates. Mutation of ... -
Distancing to self-protect: The perpetuation of inequality in higher education through socio-relational dis/engagement
(2011)This paper explores the social class-differentiated behaviours of access and traditional-entry students, based on a three-year constructivist grounded theory study with 45 undergraduates at an Irish university. The participant ... -
Distinct mechanisms underlie oral versus aboral regeneration in the cnidarian hydractinia echinata
(2014-10-24)Distinct mechanisms underlie oral versus aboral regeneration in Hydractinia echinata. Head regeneration is preceded by stem cell migration, proliferation and blastema formation. After decapitation stem cells migrate from ... -
