Sterile post-traumatic immunosuppression
(Springer Nature, 2016-04-29)After major trauma, the human immune system initiates a series of inflammatory events at the injury site that is later followed by suppression of local inflammation favoring the repair and remodeling of the damaged tissues. ... -
Sternal metastasis - the forgotten column and its effect on thoracic spine stability
(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc., 2017-01-01)Sternal metastases are not studied extensively in the literature. There is a paucity of information on their role in metastatic disease. The concept of the fourth column was described by Berg in 1993, and has been proven ... -

Steven Crowell - Normativity and Phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger
(Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy, 2013-09-21)Given the ubiquity of Husserl's influence in the twentieth century, it is often vexing to interpret the complicated appropriation of his vocabulary by later writers. In particular, his placement of phenomenology in the ... -
Stigma and stigmata: Demon possession and sexual violence in post-recession American horror cinema
(NUI Galway, 2022-05-31)This thesis is a contemporaneous analysis of the subgenre of demon-possession film in post-recession American horror. Demonic possession horror operates under generic codes and conventions that are explicitly gendered. In ... -
Stigma towards Peers with Mental Health Disorders in Childhood & Adolescence: An Investigation into Explicit & Implicit Stigma & Social Reasoning about Exclusion
(2013-09-30)Children and adolescents with mental health disorders are widely reported to have problems with peer relationships; however, few studies have explored the way in which their peers regard these young people. The literature ... -
(Still) Up to no Good: Reconfiguring the boundaries of worker resistance and misbehaviour in an increasingly non-union world
(International Labour Process Conference, 2010-03)There has been significant development in the way industrial conflict and worker resistance has been analysed over the past fifteen years. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of traditional forms of ... -
(Still) Up to No Good: Reconfiguring Worker Resistance and Misbehaviour in an Increasingly Unorganized World
(2012)The way industrial conflict and worker resistance have been analyzed has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of traditional forms of ... -

(Consortium Erudit, 2012-01-01)The way industrial conflict and worker resistance have been analyzed has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of traditional forms of ... -
A stimulating annealing approach to non-market environmental benefit aggregation.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2010-12)This paper considers the use of a 'combinatorial optimization' technique in the aggregation of environmental benefit values. Combinatorial optimization is used to statistically match population census data to a Contingent ... -
Stimulation of 3d osteogenesis by mesenchymal stem cells using a nanovibrational bioreactor
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-01)Bone grafts are one of the most commonly transplanted tissues. However, autologous grafts are in short supply, and can be associated with pain and donor-site morbidity. The creation of tissue-engineered bone grafts could ... -
Stimulation of bk virus dna replication by nfi family transcription factors
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-12-28)BK polyomavirus (BKV) establishes persistent, low-level, and asymptomatic infections in most humans and causes polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) and other pathologies in some individuals. The activation of BKV ... -
Stimulus Over-selectivity: An Investigation of Extinction Effects and Correlates across Populations
(2012-09-19)This thesis examined stimulus over-selectivity, a phenomenon where only a limited subset of the total number of stimuli present during discrimination learning controls behaviour. Stimulus over-selectivity is a widely ... -
A Stochastic Complexity Perspective of Induction in Economics and Inference in Dynamics
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2007)Rissanen's fertile and pioneering minimum description length principle (MDL) has been viewed from the point of view of statistical estimation theory, information theory, as stochastic complexity theory - i.e., a computable ... -
Stochastic modelling of pesticide transport to drinking water sources via runoff and resulting human health risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)A modelling framework was developed to facilitate a probabilistic assessment of health risks posed by pesticide exposure via drinking water due to runoff, with the inclusion of influential site conditions and in-stream ... -
Stochastic permanence, stationary distribution and extinction of a single-species nonlinear diffusion system with random perturbation
(Hindawi Limited, 2014-01-01)We analyze the influence of stochastic perturbations on a single-species logistic model with the population's nonlinear diffusion among.. patches. First, we show that this system has a unique positive solution. Then we ... -
A Stock Assessment of Atlantic salmon in Large Riverine Catchments
(2013-04)Large river systems can be challenging in relation to stock assessment and catchment management, especially those large rivers with numerous or important tributaries that may contain sub-populations or stocks. Initial ... -
Stokes v Christian Brothers High School: An exercise in splendid isolationism?
(Thomson Round Hall, 2015)This article will examine the case of Stokes v Christian Brothers High School Clonmel. The particular focus of the article is to question the failure to assess the prohibition on indirect discrimination within the overarching ... -
Stomatal cell wall composition: distinctive structural patterns associated with different phylogenetic groups
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-01-31)Background and Aims Stomatal morphology and function have remained largely conserved throughout similar to 400 million years of plant evolution. However, plant cell wall composition has evolved and changed. Here stomatal ... -
Stone column effectiveness in soils with creep: a numerical study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-16)While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to ...
