NF-kappaB Activation in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma: Relationship to Barrett's Metaplasia, Survival, and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004)OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in Barrett's epithelium and adenocarcinoma and the impact of NF-kappaB expression on tumor stage and response to neoadjuvant ... -
Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors
(2014)Herein we use Nitrogen-doped reduced Graphene Oxide (N-rGO) as the active material in supercapacitor electrodes. Building on a previous work detailing the synthesis of this material, electrodes were fabricated via ... -
No differences in hippocampal volume between carriers and non-carriers of the ApoE ε4 and ε2 alleles in young healthy adolescents
(2014)Individuals with alcohol-dependent parents show an elevated risk of developing alcohol-related problems themselves. Modulations of the mesolimbic reward circuit have been postulated as a pre-existing marker of alcoholism. ... -
A Novel BrainHealth Index Prototype Improved by Telehealth-Delivered Training During COVID-19
(2021)Introduction: Brain health is neglected in public health, receiving attention after something goes wrong. Neuroplasticity research illustrates that preventive steps strengthen the brain's component systems; however, this ... -
Objective assessment of spectral ripple discrimination in cochlear implant listeners using cortical evoked responses to an oddball paradigm.
(2014)Cochlear implants (CIs) can partially restore functional hearing in deaf individuals. However, multiple factors affect CI listener’s speech perception, resulting in large performance differences. Non-speech based tests, ... -
Obligations, Ambitions, Calculations: Migrant Care Workers' Negotiation of Work, Career and Family
(2010)The literature on migrant care workers has tended to place little emphasis on themultiple relationships thatmigrant carers formwith care recipients, employers/managers and work colleagues. This article makes a contribution ... -
Observation of optical Stark effect in InGaAs/InP multiple quantum wells
(American Institute of Physcis, 1987)We report an experimental observation of a blue shift in the n=1 heavy-hole exciton line of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP multiple quantum wells resulting from a picosecond photoexcitation in the transparent spectral region. The ... -
Observation of pentacarbonylchromium on flash photolysis of exacarbonylchromium in cyclohexane solution
(1973)The first observable transient (lifetime > 50 ns) on flash photolysis of Cr(CO), is Cr(CO),, which is the precursor of two species previously assigned to the D,, and C,, forms of Cr(CO),, and now shown to arise ... -
Obstacles to the Implementation of an Integrated National Alcohol Policy in Ireland: Nannies, Neo-Liberals and Joined-Up Government
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)This article explores how proponents of a public health model of alcohol policy have, for more than a quarter of a century, argued consistently but unsuccessfully for an integrated national alcohol policy in the Republic ... -
Offshoring, Inward Investment and Export Performance in Ireland
(ESRI, 2012-03-28)Ireland is one of the most FDI-intensive economies in the OECD and is a significant export platform for both manufacturing and internationally traded services. This chapter provides case studies of three of the most important ... -
Olsalazine is not superior to placebo in maintaining remission of inactive Crohn's colitis and ileocolitis: a double blind, parallel, randomised, multicentre study
(BMJ, 2001)BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The benefit of 5-aminosalicylic acid therapy for maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease is controversial. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the prophylactic properties of olsalazine ... -
On Combined Rate and Power Adaptation for Indoor Wireless Environments
(2018)This paper presents a detailed study for indoor wireless environments, where transmit power, rate and target bit error rate (BER) are varied to increase spectral efficiency. The study is conducted for the recently proposed ... -
On the distortion of UWB circularly polarized time-domain pulses in presence of rotation
(2019)The paper provides a first theoretical study on the effect of rotational Doppler on circularly polarized pulsed communication. Despite the circularly polarized communication being considered immune to signal fading due to ... -
One Dummy Won t Get it: The Impact of Training Programme Type and Duration on the Employment Chances of the Unemployed in Ireland
(ESRI, 2011-09-26)In the extensive literature on the employment impact of public?sponsored training programmes for the unemployed, insufficient attention has been paid to the differential impact of different types of programmes and training ... -
Oppositional COMT Val158Met effects on resting state functional connectivity in adolescents and adults.
(2014)Prefrontal dopamine levels are relatively increased in adolescence compared to adulthood. Genetic variation of COMT (COMT Val158Met) results in lower enzymatic activity and higher dopamine availability in Met carriers. ...
