The A domain of fibronectin-binding protein B of Staphylococcus aureus contains a novel fibronectin binding site.
(2011)The fibronectin‐binding proteins FnBPA and FnBPB are multifunctional adhesins than can also bind to fibrinogen and elastin. In this study, the N2N3 subdomains of region A of FnBPB were shown to bind fibrinogen with a similar ... -
A genome-wide association study for genetic susceptibility to Mycobacterium bovis infection in dairy cattle identifies a susceptibility QTL on chromosome 23
(2016)Background: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) infection in cattle is a significant economic concern in many countries, with annual costs to the UK and Irish governments of approximately �190 million and �63 million, respectively, ... -
A role for interleukin-1β in synaptic function
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Physiology, 2001)The proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL -1β ). one of the most extensively studied cytokines to date, is known to play a pivotal role in neurodegenerative, inflammatory and infectious diseases. Moreover, IL-1β ... -
A.D. 672 - the apex of apocalyptic thought in the early medieval Latin West?
(de Gruyter, 2020)In Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, the Second Coming of Christ was connected to the beginning of the seventh millennium. This raised apocalyptic expectations for the end of sixth millennium. When exactly this was ... -
A2B2-type push-pull porphyrins as reverse saturable and saturable absorbers
(2007)A2B2-type push?pull porphyrins with a strong intramolecular dipole moment have been prepared via Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions as novel materials for use in nonlinear optics (NLO); they display saturable (SA) and ... -
A46R and A52R from vaccinia virus are antagonists of host IL-1 and toll-like receptor signaling
(2000)Poxviruses employ many strategies to evade and neutralize the host immune response. In this study, we have identified two vaccinia virus ORFs, termed A46R and A52R, that share amino acid sequence similarity with the Toll/IL-1 ... -
AAC don Ghaeilge: the Prototype Development of Speech-Generating Assistive Technology for Irish
(2022)This paper describes the prototype development of an Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) system for the Irish language. This system allows users to communicate using the ABAIR synthetic voices, by selecting ... -
AAV-Delivered Tulp1 Supplementation Therapy Targeting Photoreceptors Provides Minimal Benefit in Tulp1−/− Retinas
(2020)With marketing approval of the first ocular gene therapy, and other gene therapies in clinical trial, treatments for inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) have become a reality. Biallelic mutations in the tubby like protein ... -
AAV-PHP.eB transduces both the inner and outer retina with high efficacy in mice
(2022)Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are one of the main gene delivery vehicles used in retinal gene therapy ap proaches; however, there is a need to further improve the effi cacy, tropism, and safety of these ... -
Ab Initio and Kinetic Modeling of β-d-Xylopyranose under Fast Pyrolysis Conditions
(2024)Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource that can be upgraded to chemical and fuel products through a range of thermal conversion processes. Fast pyrolysis is a promising technology that uses high temperatures ... -
Ab initio calculation of the biasdependent transport properties of Mn12 molecules
(2009)The bias-dependent transport properties of a device constructed by sandwiching a Mn 12 single molecule magnet between gold electrodes are investigated within an ab initio framework combining the nonequilibrium Green?s ... -
Ab initio electron theory for magnetism in Fe: Pressure dependence of spin-wave energies, exchange parameters, and Curie temperature
(American Physical Society, 2003)The spin-wave spectra for bcc Fe at various lattice constants are calculated by the ab initio density functional electron theory for various lattice constants, and the exchange parameters of a Heisenberg model are determined ... -
Ab initio study of electron transport in dry poly(G)-poly(C) A-DNA strands
(2010)The bias-dependent transport properties of short poly (G)-poly(C) A-DNA strands attached to Au electrodes are investigated with first-principles electronic-transport methods. By using the nonequilibrium Green's function ... -
Ab initio study on the magnetostructural properties of MnAs
(2006)The magnetic and structural properties of MnAs are studied with ab initio methods and by mapping total energies onto a Heisenberg model. The stability of the different phases is found to depend mainly on the volume and ... -
Ab initio theory for current-induced molecular switching: Melamine on Cu(001)
(2013)Melamine on Cu(001) is mechanically unstable under the current of a scanning tunneling microscope tip and can switch among configurations. However, these are not equally accessible, and the switching critical current depends ... -
Ab initio transport across bismuth selenide surface barriers.
(2014)We investigate the effect of potential barriers in the form of step edges on the scattering properties of Bi2Se3(111) topological surface states by means of large-scale ab initio transport simulations. Our results demonstrate ... -
Ab initio treatment of noncollinear spin systems within the atomic-sphere approximation and beyond
(American Physical Society, 2000)The properties of noncollinear magnets are often calculated within the framework of density-functional theory in local-spin-density approximation with the additional use of the atomic-sphere approximation for the spin ... -
The ABAIR Initiative: Bringing Spoken Irish into the Digital Space
(2017)The processes of language demise take hold when a language ceases to belong to the mainstream of life’s activities. Digital communication technology increasingly pervades all aspects of modern life. Languages not digitally ... -
Abnormal fetal muscle forces result in defects in spinal curvature and alterations in vertebral segmentation and shape
(2017)The incidence of congenital spine deformities, including congenital scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, may be influenced by the in utero mechanical environment, and particularly by fetal movements at critical time-points. ...
