A 1000-year reconstruction of summer precipitation from Ireland: Calibration of a peat-based palaeoclimate record
(2012)Calibration of proxy climate records is well-established for annually resolved proxies such as tree rings, but it has not been attempted for non-annually resolved proxies such as those from peatland surface wetness records. ... -
Ab initio study of electron transport in dry poly(G)-poly(C) A-DNA strands
(2010)The bias-dependent transport properties of short poly (G)-poly(C) A-DNA strands attached to Au electrodes are investigated with first-principles electronic-transport methods. By using the nonequilibrium Green's function ... -
Acoustic particle velocity measurement by ultra-light membrane and its applications in acoustic holography
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)Acoustic holography is a non-destructive method used to determine the spatial propagation of acoustical waves. Conventionally, the acoustic holography measures the acoustic pressure. Until recently, a very limited number ... -
Activation of stress-related signalling pathway in human cells upon SiO2 nanoparticles exposure as an early indicator of cytotoxicity
(2011)Background: Nanomaterials such as SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2NP) are finding increasing applications in the biomedical and biotechnological fields such as disease diagnostics, imaging, drug delivery, food, cosmetics and ... -
An agronomic assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from major cereal crops
(2012)Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute approximately 12% to total global anthropogenic GHG emissions. Cereals (rice, wheat, and maize) are the largest source of human calories, and it is estimated that world ... -
Analysis of the Potential of DynaFlexPro as a Modeling Software by its Application in the Roll Stability of Heavy-Duty Elliptical Tankers using Trammel Pendulum to Simulate Fluid Sloshing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, INSA Lyon, 2007)One of the most common ways for commercial vehicles to loose their stability is by rollover. Partially filled heavy-duty tankers manoeuvring constant radius turns or lane change maneuvers have lower rollover threshold than ... -
Analysis of the rough contact in axisymmetric upsetting
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)Characterization of surface roughness is important in the frictional behavior of two contact surfaces. In general, it has been found that friction increases with average roughness. The prediction of friction and stress/ ... -
Analytic Besov spaces and Hardy-type inequalities in tube domains over symmetric cones
(2010)We give various equivalent formulations to the (partially) open problem about Lp-boundedness of Bergman projections in tubes over cones. Namely, we show that such boundedness is equivalent to the duality identity between ... -
Bayesian kernel projections for classification of high dimensional data
(2011)A Bayesian multi-category kernel classification method is proposed. The algorithm performs the classification of the projections of the data to the principal axes of the feature space. The advantage of this approach is ... -
Behavioural evidence for task-dependent, 'what' versus 'where' processing within and across modalities
(The Psychonomic Society, 2008)Task-dependent information processing for the purpose of recognition or spatial perception is considered a principle common to all the main sensory modalities. Using a dual-task interference paradigm, we investigated the ... -
Biophysical stimuli induced by passive movements compensate for lack of skeletal muscle during embryonic skeletogenesis
(2011)In genetically modified mice with abnormal skeletal muscle development, bones and joints are differentially affected by the lack of skeletal muscle.We hypothesise that unequal levels of biophysical stimuli in the ... -
Boys do it the right way: Sex-dependent amygdala lateralization during face processing in adolescents
(2011)Previous studies have observed a sex-dependent lateralization of amygdala activation related to emotional memory. Specifically, it was shown that the activity of the right amygdala correlates significantly stronger with ... -
Building the Seshat Ontology for a Global History Databank
(Springer, 2016)This paper describes OWL ontology re-engineering from the wiki-based social science codebook (thesaurus) developed by the Seshat: Global History Databank. The ontology describes human history as a set of over 1500 time ... -
Calibration of cosmogenic 36Cl production rates from Ca and K spallation in lava flows from Mt. Etna (38?N, Italy) and Payun Matru (36?S, Argentina)
(2011)Published cosmogenic 36Cl production rates from Ca and K spallation differ by almost a factor of 2. In this paper we determine production rates of 36Cl from Ca and K in samples of known age containing little Cl. Ca-rich ... -
CENDARI s Grand Challenges: Building, Contextualising and Sustaining a New Knowledge Infrastructure.
(2013)In its widest sense, infrastructure allows us as finite individuals to achieve beyond our individual capacity to know, to do, to see. But even within the more narrow context of research infrastructures, broad and diverse ...
