23. Lessons of ALS imaging: Pitfalls and future directions - A critical review.
(2014)Stereotypical shortcomings can be identified in ALS neuroimaging studies. • A systematic discussion of ALS study limitations is particularly timely. • Individual patient data meta-analyses and multicentre ... -
3D Printed Sugar-Sensing Hydrogels
(2020)The ability of boronic acids to reversibly bind diols, such as sugars, has been widely studied in recent years. In solution, through the incorporation of additional fluorophores, this boronic acid-sugar interaction can be ... -
Addressing Ethical Issues in the Design of Patient & Caregiver Monitoring Technology in Aged Care Settings
(Nova Publishers, 2020)The monitoring and evaluation of patient health and wellbeing, along with the quality of care delivery is critical to patient safety. The aged care sector has faced many scandals about the quality of aged care services. ... -
Advancing a Human Factors & Ethics Canvas for New Driver Assistance Technologies Targeted at Older Adults
(Springer, Cham, 2020)Automated driving solutions represent a potential solution to promoting driver persistence and the management of fitness to drive issues in older adults. This paper reports on the application of a ‘Human Factors & Ethics ... -
Age-related responses to injury and repair in insect cuticle
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2019)We evaluated the ability of female adult desert locusts (Schistocercagregaria) to repair injuries to their exoskeletons and restore mechanical strength over the course of their natural life. We discovered that younger ... -
Altering the architecture of tissue engineered hypertrophic cartilaginous grafts facilitates vascularisation and accelerates mineralisation.
(2014)Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be leveraged to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral program, leading to increased interest in the use of such hypertrophic grafts ... -
Analysing interactive devices based on information resource constraints
(2014)Analysis of the usability of an interactive system requires both an understanding of how the system is to be used and a means of assessing the system against that understanding. Such analytic assessments are particularly ... -
An anisotropic inelastic constitutive model to describe stress softening and permanent deformation in arterial tissue
(2012)Inelastic phenomena such as softening and unrecoverable inelastic strains induced by loading have been observed experimentally in soft tissues such as arteries. These phenomena need to be accounted for in constitutive ... -
The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of passive skeletal muscle tissue subjected to large tensile strain
(2013)The passive mechanical properties of muscle tissue are important for many biomechanics applications. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the three-dimensional tensile response of passive skeletal ... -
Apparent behaviour of charged and neutral materials with ellipsoidal fibre distributions and cross-validation of finite element implementations
(2012)Continuous fibre distribution models can be applied to a variety of biological tissues with both charged and neutral extracellular matrices. In particular, ellipsoidal models have been used to describe the complex material ... -
Assessing Patient-Specific Microwave Breast Imaging in Clinical Case Studies
(2021)Microwave breast imaging has seen increasing use in clinical investigations in the past decade with over eight systems having being trialled with patients. The majority of systems use radar-based algorithms to reconstruct ... -
Assessment of the accuracy of an ultrasound elastography liver scanning system using a PVA-cryogel phantom with optimal acoustic and mechanical properties
(2010)The accuracy of a transient elastography liver-scanning ultrasound system was assessed using a novel application of PVA-cryogel as a tissue-mimicking material with acoustic and shear elasticity properties optimized to ... -
Associations between Cardiovascular Signal Entropy and Cognitive Performance over Eight Years
(2021)In this study, the relationship between non-invasively measured cardiovascular signal entropy and global cognitive performance was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study ...
