Earthquake resistant hollow and filled steel braces
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2004)The earthquake resistance of many building structures is provided by steel bracing members. Although the use of tension-only concentric bracing is common, the behaviour of these systems is not fully understood, and ... -
Eco-hydrology of Pollardstown Fen, Co. Kildare, Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)Calcareous fens are wetlands that accumulate peat and have alkaline groundwater as their dominant hydrologic input. This combination of environmental characteristics produces an unusual type of habitat and a large number ... -
Effect of a degraded core on the mechanical behaviour of tissue-engineered cartilage constructs: a poro-elastic finite element analysis
(Springer, 2004)The structure and functionality of tissue-engineered cartilage is determined by the tissue culture conditions and mechanical conditioning during growth. The quality of tissue-engineered cartilage can be evaluated using ... -
The effect of a thermal renal denervation cycle on the mechanical properties of the arterial wall
(2014)The aim of this study was to determine the effect that a thermal renal denervation cycle has on the mechanical properties of the arterial wall. Porcine arterial tissue specimens were tested in three groups: native tissue, ... -
Effect of a uniform bias force on the Brownian movement in double-well potentials
(American Physical Society, 1997)A general property of the Brownian motion in a bistable potential with the asymmetry arising from the imposition of a bias force is described. The property is that, at values of the bias force far less than the critical value ... -
Effect of an oblique magnetic field on the superparamagnetic relaxation time
(American Physical Society, 1995)The effect of a constant magnetic field, applied at an angle to the easy axis of magnetization, on the Neel relaxation time of a single domain ferromagnetic particle (with uniaxial anisotropy) is studied by calculating the ... -
Effect of an oblique magnetic field on the superparamagnetic relaxation time. II. Influence of the gyromagnetic term
(1998)The effect of a uniform magnetic field applied at an oblique angle to the easy axis of magnetization on the superparamagnetic (longitudinal or Neel) relaxation time is investigated by numerically solving the Fokker-Planck ... -
The effect of bisphosphonate treatment on the biochemical and cellular events during bone remodelling in response to microinjury stimulation
(2015)Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent bone diseases worldwide and is characterised by high levels of bone turnover, a marked loss in bone mass and accumulation of microdamage, which leads ... -
The Effect of Calcium and Glucose Concentration on Corneal Epithelial Cell Lines Differentiation, Proliferation, and Focal Adhesion Expression.
(2019)It is known that culture media composition can affect cell behavior, morphology, and gene expression. However,in the case of corneal epithelial cells, the combined role of calcium and glucose concentration in media has not ... -
Effect of cell surfaces on the stability of chiral smectic- C phases
(2008)The effect of surfaces on the stability of smectic-C* (SmC*) variant phases is investigated. The results obtained using dielectric spectroscopy by varying the cell thickness show that the temperature ranges of SmC<sub>al ... -
Effect of clear-felling and harvest residue removal on nitrogen and phosphorus export from drained norway spruce mires in southern finland
(2015)Calibration-period/control-area approach was used to study nitrogen and phosphorus export from drained and productive Norway-spruce-dominated peatland forests follow- ing conventional stem-only and ... -
The effect of concentration, cooling rate and cell seeding density on the initial mechanical properties of agarose hydrogels.
(2009)Agarose hydrogels are commonly used for cartilage tissue engineering studies and to provide a three dimensional environment to investigate cellular mechanobiology. Interpreting the results of such studies requires accurate ... -
The effect of confinement on the stability of field induced states and on supercooling in antiferro-ferroelectric phase transitions in chiral smectic liquid crystals
(2009)We investigate both the supercooling and the hysteresis phenomena of the phase transitions between the smectic C* and the smectic C *Aphases driven by temperature and electric field, respectively. These two phenomena show ... -
Effect of cybotactic clusters on the elastic and flexoelectric properties of bent-core liquid crystals belonging to the same homologous series
(2013)We report results of the splay ( K 11 ) and bend ( K 33 ) elastic constants and the effective flexoelectric coefficient of three bent-core liquid crystals belonging to a homologous series of 4-cyanoresorcinol ... -
The effect of cyclic hydrostatic pressure on the functional development of cartilaginous tissues engineered using bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
(2011)Mechanical signals can play a key role in regulating the chondrogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). The objective of this study was to determine if the long-term application of cyclic hydrostatic pressure ... -
Effect of decomposition on physical properties of fibrous peat
(2014)Organic matter in peat deposits undergoes slow microbial decomposition, which causes permanent material change, including reduction in volume of solids, and is a significant factor in the development of creep settlements ...
