Evidence of former tree growth at Clonsast
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland), 1957)Six thousand years ago practically all the ground now covered by peat in the area investigated at Clonsast, County Offaly, was woodland. The main object of the research was to trace the disappearance of woodland due to ... -
A study of taxonomy of Salicornia L. in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland), 1964)Introduction: The genus Salicornia is a notoriously difficult group. The number and nature of the taxa recognised, especially within the annual section of the genus, has varied considerably according to the differing ... -
The carboniferous geology of the Carrick-on-Suir syncline, Southern Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 1980)A geological map of the Carrick-on-Suir Syncline is presented at a scale of 1:31680 (2 inches to one mile). The thirteen mapping units proposed are discussed in detail; all but the lowermost are Carboniferous in age. The ... -
Ponding of random plastic filter medium due to the fungus Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine in the treatment of sewage
(1983)Fungi are a common component of the film in the upper regions of percolating filters and are associated with strong sewages and industrial wastewaters. Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine is reported as growing extensively ... -
The effects of land drainage on groundwater resources in karstic areas of Ireland
(Geological Publishing House, Beijing, China, 1988)The impact of land drainage on groundwater resources is particularly acute in karst areas because of the unique characteristics of karstic aquifers. Arterial drainage of karst lowlands in Ireland, involving the construction ... -
Expression of the mouse labial-like homeobox-containing genes, Hox 2.9 and Hox 1.6, during segementation of the hindbrain
(Company of Biologists, 1991)The sequence of a mouse Hox 2.9 cDNA clone is presented. The predicted homeodomain is similar to that of the Drosophila gene labial showing 80 % identity. The equivalent gene in the Hox 1 cluster is Hox 1.6 which shows ... -
Effects of retinoic acid excess on expression oh Hox 2.9 and Krox 20 and on morphological segmentation in the hindbrain of mouse embryos
(Nature Publishing Group, 1991)Mouse embryos were exposed to maternally administered RA on day 8.0 or day 7 3/4 of development, i.e. at or just before the differentiation of the cranial neural plate, and before the start of segmentation. On day 9.0, the ... -
Cyclical construction and destruction of flood dominated floodplains in semiarid central Australia
(1994)The morphostratigraphy of flood plains along unconfined reaches of the Todd River, central Australia, indicate that flood plain formation is dominated by high magnitude floods. Processes of flood plain destruction include ... -
The regulation of Krox-20 expression reveals important steps in the control of peripheral glial cell development.
(Company of Biologists, 1996)The zinc finger transcription factor gene Krox-20 is expressed in Schwann cells and is required for the myelination of peripheral nerves. We show that the regulation of Krox-20 expression in peripheral glial cells reveals ... -
Community study of toxoplasma antibodies in urban and rural schoolchildren aged 4 to 18 years.
(BMJ Publishing Group, 1997)To estimate the prevalence of toxoplasma antibodies in schoolchildren and their association with clinical and environmental data, antibody titres were measured in 1276 children aged 4 to 18 years attending primary and ... -
Serum concentrations of carboxyl-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, cross-linked carboxl-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and their interrelationships in schoolchildren
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 1997)We report pediatric age- and sex-specific 95% reference intervals for procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide (PICP), the cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), and procollagen type III N-terminal ... -
Channel adjustment to extreme floods in arid central Australia.

Interaction of the CNC-bZIP factor TCF11/LCR-F1/Nrf1 with MafG: binding-site selection and regulation of transcription
(1998)We have previously shown that the widely expressed human transcription factor TCF11/LCR-F1/Nrf1 interacts with small Maf proteins and binds to a subclass of AP1-sites. Such sites are required for b-globin 54 DNase I ... -
An integrated approach to water quality management for agricultural catchments in Ireland

Natural immunity to Ascaris lumbricoides associated with IgE antibody to ABA-1 allergen and inflammatory indicators in children
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999)Children putatively immune to the large roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides were identified in an area of Nigeria where infection is hyperendemic. Immunity was associated with higher levels of serum ferritin, C-reactive protein, ... -
Does size matter? Bumblebee behaviour and the pollination of Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae)
(2000)The effects of forager body size and floral display size on pollinator behaviour were assessed in a relatively specialised plant-pollinator system. Cytisus scoparius, which has structurally complex, nectarless flowers is ... -
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Carboniferous Donegal Basin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)The Dinantian onshore Donegal Basin is situated at the northerly exposed margin of the Northwest Carboniferous Basin of Ireland. Subsidence patterns in the Northwest basin were strongly controlled by an existing template ... -
The public health significance of Trichuris trichiura
(2000)An estimated 1049 million persons harbour T. trichiura, including 114 million preschool-age children and 233 million school-age children. The prevalence of T. trichiura is high and may reach 95% in children in many parts ... -
Investigation of the stratigrphy, maturation and source-rock potential of Carboniferous black shales in the Dublin Basin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)The Viséan part of the Dublin Basin stratigraphic succession is dominated turbiditic calcarenites interbedded with grey/black shales. Sedimentological analysis of four exploration wells drilled in the north part of the ...
