Nanoscale neuroelectrode modification via sub-20 nm silicon nanowires through self-assembly of block copolymers
(2015)Neuroelectrodes are susceptible to deterioration via scar encapsulation following implantation. Biologically relevant nanosurfaces which mimic the biological length scale may prevent this deterioration via the modulation ... -
Near East Relief
(Freie Universität Berlin, 2014)Near East Relief was formed in 1915 to address the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the Armenian genocide. By the end of the war, the organization had transformed into a vast aid campaign that focused on orphans ... -
Neighbourhood Environment and Cognitive Vulnerability—A Survey Investigation of Variations Across the Lifespan and Urbanity Levels
(2020)Background: Understanding the impact of local communities on wellbeing is a paramount Sustainable Development Goal. In order to inform people-centred planning interventions, it is important to understand what demographic ... -
Neural correlates of abnormal sensory discrimination in laryngeal dystonia.
(2016)Aberrant sensory processing plays a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of dystonia; however, its underpinning neural mechanisms in relation to dystonia phenotype and genotype remain unclear. We examined temporal and ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ...
