Bone mechanical properties and changes with osteoporosis
(Elsevier BV, 2016-06-01) -
Cell wall evolution and diversity
(Frontiers Media SA, 2012-01-01)Plant cell walls display a considerable degree of diversity in their compositions and molecular architectures. In some cases the functional significance of a particular cell wall type appears to be easy to discern: secondary ... -
Compression instabilities of tissues with localized strain softening
(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2011-03-01)The stress-strain relationship of biological soft tissues affected by Marfan's syndrome is believed to be nonconvex. More specifically, Haughton and Merodio recently proposed a strain energy density leading to localized ... -
A computational and experimental investigation of the in-vivo biomechanics of the human aorta
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-06)The overall objective of this thesis is to provide a new understanding of the degree of biomechanical heterogeneity that exists along the human aorta, against the backdrop of clinical literature reporting that patient ... -
Inertial sensor technology for elite swimming performance analysis: a systematic review
(MDPI AG, 2015-12-25)Technical evaluation of swimming performance is an essential factor of elite athletic preparation. Novel methods of analysis, incorporating body worn inertial sensors (i.e., Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, ... -
Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ... -
Perspective on post-menopausal osteoporosis: establishing an interdisciplinary understanding of the sequence of events from the molecular level to whole bone fractures
(The Royal Society, 2009-10-21)Current drug treatments for post-menopausal osteoporosis cannot eliminate bone fractures, possibly because the mechanisms responsible for bone loss are not fully understood. Although research within various disciplines has ... -
Piezoelectric scaffolds: Mediating tendon regeneration by activation of piezosensitive receptors
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-15)Tendon disease caused by trauma, illness or age-related degeneration constitutes an unmet clinical need. Tendon repair using different pharmacological and engineering strategies based on both synthetic and biological grafts ... -
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 ...
