Defining reference intervals for a serum growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) assay in a Caucasian population and its potential utility in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
(De Gruyter, 2018-09-15)BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a stress responsive cytokine, is a promising biomarker of renal functional decline in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study aimed primarily to establish normative ... -
Defying Wikidata: Validation of terminological relations in the web of data
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-05-16)In this paper we present an approach to validate terminological data retrieved from open encyclopaedic knowledge bases. This need arises from the enrichment of automatically extracted terms with information from existing ... -
DeLone & McLean success model as a descriptive tool in evaluating the use of a virtual learning environment
(2009)This paper contributes the discussion about applying DeLone & McLean success model. Since its introduction in 1992, the model has been widely used and evaluated. In this paper the model is used as a descriptive tool in ... -
A Delphi study on collaborative learning in distance education: The faculty perspective
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-09-21)This paper focuses on the factors which influence collaborative learning in distance education. Distance education has been around for many years and the use of collaborative learning techniques in distance education is ... -
Demo: Visual Programming for the Semantic Desktop with Konduit
(2008)In this demo description, we present Konduit, a desktop-based platform for visual programming with RDF data. Based on the idea of the semantic desktop, non-technical users can create, manipulate and mash-up RDF data with ... -
Demonstrating a linked data platform for finite element biosimulations of cochlear mechanics
(CEUR-WS.org, 2015-10-11)Biosimulations employ Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate complex biological systems in order to understand different aspects of human organs. The applications of FEM biosimulations range from human ear cochlear mechanics, ... -
Demonstrating a linked data visualiser for finite element biosimulations
(IEEE, 2016-02-04)Healthcare experts have recently turned towards the use of Biosimulation models to understand the multiple or different causative factors that cause impairment in human organs. The applications of biosimulations have been ... -
Dependence of mechanical properties of polyamide components on build parameters in the SLS process
(Elsevier, 2007)Customised properties of parts manufactured using the selective laser sintering process are achievable by variation of build parameters. The energy density, controlled by laser power, distance between scan lines and speed ... -
Deprivation and its measurement in later life: findings from a mixed-methods study in Ireland
(Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, 2012-11)Against the background of an ageing population and the current economic recession, the research reported here explores deprivation, and its measurement, for diverse groups of older people living in Ireland. We assess the ... -
Describing Linked Datasets - On the Design and Usage of voiD, the 'Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets'
(2009)In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of voiD, the \Vocabulary Of Interlinked Datasets", a vocabulary that allows to formally describe linked RDF datasets. We report on use cases for voiD, the current state ... -
Design and characterization of a three-layer collagen-based scaffold to modulate BMSC behaviour for enthesis regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)The enthesis is a specialised tissue interface between tendon and bone, essential for adequate force transmission. Following injuries and surgical repair, the enthesis is often not re-established and traditionally used ... -
Design and characterization of synthetic biodegradable films for soft tissue engineering
(SciTePress, 2019)To repair soft tissue, it is vital to ensure that the biomaterial is able to mimic the complex elasticity of the native tissue. Substrate stiffness has a huge influence on cell physiology and behaviour. The present study ... -
Designing futures through student engagement: A policy futures perspective
(SAGE Publications, 2023-06-12)Futures research is gaining increased prominence in educational research and development (Tesar, 2021), and particularly now as we emerge from the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has provided a lever for change and an ... -
Detailed dielectric characterisation of the heart and great vessels
(IEEE, 2020-03-15)The dielectric properties of biological tissues play a significant role in the planning and development of electro- magnetic thermal therapies. In most cases in the literature, heart is considered as a homogeneous organ ... -
Detecting bot behaviour in social media using digital DNA compression
(AICS (Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science) 2019, 2019-12-05)A major challenge faced by online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter is the remarkable rise of fake and automated bot accounts over the last few years. Some of these accounts have been reported to engage in ... -
Detecting inner-ear anatomical and clinical datasets in the linked open data (LOD) cloud
(CEUR-WS.org, 2015-10-15)Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud is a mesh of open datasets coming from different domains. Among these datasets, a notable amount of datasets belong to the life sciences domain linked together forming an interlinked “Life ... -
Detection of vesicoureteral reflux using electrical impedance tomography
(IEEE, 2018-12-14)Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) non-invasively using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). VUR is characterized by the backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys. ... -
Developing a Continuous Space Representation of a Simulated Population
