Childhood Helicobacter pylori infection and growth impairment in developing countries: a vicious cycle?
(American Academy of Paediatrics, 2007)We hypothesize that infection with the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori in children in developing countries is the initiator of a vicious cycle of events that result ultimately in malnutrition and growth impairment. ... -
Current Practice in the Referral of Individuals with Suspected Dementia for Neuroimaging by General Practitioners in Ireland and Wales
(2016)Objectives While early diagnosis of dementia is important, the question arises whether general practitioners (GPs) should engage in direct referrals. The current study investigated current referral practices for ... -
Demonstration of high-brightness-mode propagation in a compound waveguide structure
(American Institute of Physics, 1999)We demonstrate the existence of an unusual and useful high-brightness guided mode of a multimode AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure compound slab waveguide. This mode has a narrow near-field single lobe confined to the low-index ... -
Engineering carbon chains from mechanically stretched graphene-based materials
(American Physical Society, 2011)The electrical response of graphene-based materials can be tailored under mechanical stress. We report different switching behaviors that take place in mechanically deformed graphene nanoribbons prior to the breakage of ... -
Optical measurement of ion implantation damage depth in multiple-quantum-well mesa structures
(1991)We have determined the depth of ion implant damage in semiconductor materials by nonlinear optical measurements. The carrier lifetime in ion-implanted mesas was measured by the pump-probe technique, and the carrier ... -
Optimization and Control of Large Block Copolymer Self-Assembly via Precision Solvent Vapor Annealing
(2021)The self-assembly of ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) block copolymers (BCPs) remains a complex and time-consuming endeavor owing to the high kinetic penalties associated with long polymer chain entanglement. In this ... -
Peer Review on "Improving reconciliation of work and long-term care"
(2018)This paper has been prepared for the Peer Review on “Improving reconciliation of work and long-term care”. It provides a comparative assessment of the policy example of the Host Country and the situation in Ireland. The ... -
Photophysical studies of CdTe quantum dots in the presence of a zinc cationic porphyrin
(2012)The photophysical properties of 2.3 nm thioglycolic acid (TGA) coated CdTe quantum dots (QDs) prepared by a reflux method have been studied in the presence of cationic meso-tetrakis(4-Nmethylpyridyl) zinc porphyrin ... -
Printing New Bones: From Print-and-Implant Devices to Bioprinted Bone Organ Precursors
(2021)Regenerating large bone defects remains a significant clinical challenge, motivating increased interest in additive manufacturing and 3D bioprinting to engineer superior bone graft substitutes. 3D bioprinting enables ... -
A Spheroid Model of Early and Late-Stage Osteosarcoma Mimicking the Divergent Relationship between Tumor Elimination and Bone Regeneration
(2021)Osteosarcoma is the most diagnosed bone tumor in children. The use of tissue engineering strategies after malignant tumor resection remains a subject of scientific controversy. As a result, there is limited research that ... -
Ultrafast IR spectroscopy of polymeric cytosine nucleic acids reveal the long-lived species is due to a localised state
(2012)The decay pathways of UV-excited cytosine polymers are investigated using picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. Similar yields of a non-emissive 1niU* state are found in the single-stranded dC30 polymer as in the ...
