A biomimetic multi-layered collagen-based scaffold for osteochondral repair
(2014)Cartilage and osteochondral defects pose a significant challenge in orthopedics. Tissue engineering has shown promise as a potential method for the treatment of such defects; however, a long-lasting repair strategy has yet ... -
Bisimulation Congruences in Safe Ambients (extended abstract).
(2002)We develop a semantics theory for SAP, a variant of Levi and Sangiorgi?s Safe Ambients, SA. The dynamics of SA relies upon capabilities (and co-capabilities) exercised by mobile agents, called ambients, to interact with ... -
Bistable self-electro-optic operation of strained In0.1Ga0.9As/GaAs asymmetric Fabry Perot modulators
(1991)We report bistable operation of a strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs asymmetric Fabry-Perot optical modulator configured as a self-electro-optic effect device (SEED) operating in reflection mode. Bistable loops are observed from ... -
'Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt': Solidarity between generations in the Irish crisis
(2014)Ireland has gained a reputation for peaceable acceptance of austerity following a European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout in 2010. While proponents of austerity praise Ireland’s stoicism, critics of global ... -
The blessing and the curse of Job
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Lang, Lit. & Cultural Studies. Discipline of Near & Middle Eastern Studies, 2018)This thesis argues that the theme of blessing and curse runs through all the book of Job and it is not limited to the prose parts (prologue and epilogue) and the third chapter where the idea of --blessing and curse has ... -
Block Copolymer Derived Vertically Coupled Plasmonic Arrays for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(2020)A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensing template consisting of gold-covered nanopillars is developed. The plasmonic slab consists of a perforated gold film at the base of the nanopillars and a Babinet complementary ... -
The Book of Armagh: A codicological reassessment
(2021)The Book of Armagh (Dublin, Trinity College, TCD MS 52) is an early ninth- century composite vellum manuscript from an Insular orbit. Its contents include a complete copy of the New Testament, along with documents relating ... -
Boronic Acid Homopolymers as Effective Polycations for Sugar-Responsive Layer-by-Layer Assemblies
(2019)Due to their reversible diol-binding ability, phenylboronic acid (BA) derivatives have gained considerable interest for the development of saccharide sensors and drug delivery systems. In particular, ... -
Brain atrophy in primary progressive aphasia involves the cholinergic basal forebrain and Ayala's nucleus
(2014)Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is characterized by left hemispheric fronto-temporal cortical atrophy. Evidence from anatomical studies suggests that the nucleus subputaminalis (NSP), a subnucleus of the cholinergic basal ... -
A Brain Capital Grand Strategy: toward economic reimagination
(2021)Current brain research, innovation, regulatory, and funding systems are artificially siloed, creating boundaries in our understanding of the brain based on constructs such as aging, mental health, and/or neurology, when ... -
Brain deletion of insulin receptor substrate 2 disrupts hippocampal synaptic plasticity and metaplasticity
(2012)Objective: Diabetes mellitus is associated with cognitive deficits and an increased risk of dementia, particularly in the elderly. These deficits and the corresponding neurophysiological structural and functional alterations ... -
Brain Regions Related to Impulsivity Mediate the Effects of Early Adversity on Antisocial Behavior
(2017)Background Individual differences in impulsivity and early adversity are known to be strong predictors of adolescent antisocial behavior. However, the neurobiological bases of impulsivity and their relation to antisocial ... -
Brain-computer interfaces, virtual reality, and videogames
(IEEE, 2008)Major challenges must be tackled for brain-computer interfaces to mature into an established communications medium for VR applications, which will range from basic neuroscience studies to developing optimal peripherals and ... -
Brain-predicted age difference score is related to specific cognitive functions: a multi-site replication analysis
(2020)Brain-predicted age difference scores are calculated by subtracting chronological age from ‘brain’ age, which is estimated using neuroimaging data. Positive scores reflect accelerated ageing and are associated with increased ... -
Breaking the Mould: New Trajectories in the Domiciliary Care of Older People in Ireland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)This article reviews the development of domiciliary care services for older people in Ireland over the last decade. It reveals three central developments, namely (i) the first steps, in the Irish context, towards a ... -
A bridge between the breath and the brain: Synchronization of respiration, a pupillometric marker of the locus coeruleus, and an eeg marker of attentional control state
(2021)Yogic and meditative traditions have long held that the fluctuations of the breath and the mind are intimately related. While respiratory modulation of cortical activity and attentional switching are established, the extent ... -
Build, Plant, and Marry Return, Dwell, and Harvest: Symbolic Code as a Tool of Cultural Hegemony in the Book of Jeremiah
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Lang, Lit. & Cultural Studies. Discipline of Near & Middle Eastern Studies, 2022)This thesis examines narrative episodes from Jer 29, 32, 35, 40, 41 and 44 in terms of the representation of communal settlement, socio-economic participation, and spatial dynamics, in order to reveal the operations of a ...
