d-zero Magnetism in Nanoporous Amorphous Alumina Membranes
(2018)Nanoporous alumina membranes produced by mild or hard anodisation in oxalic acid at potentials ranging from 5 – 140 V have a controllable pore surface area of up to 200 times the membrane area. They exhibit a saturating ... -
Dacura: A new solution to data harvesting and knowledge extraction for the historical sciences
(2018)New advances in computer science address problems historical scientists face in gathering and evaluating the now vast data sources available through the Internet. As an example we introduce Dacura, a dataset curation ... -
Daemonic ergotropy: Enhanced work extraction from quantum correlations
(2017)We investigate how the presence of quantum correlations can influence work extraction in closed quantum systems, establishing a new link between the field of quantum non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the one of quantum ... -
Daily variation in macrophage phagocytosis is clock-independent and dispensable for cytokine production
(2019)Innate immune responses vary in a circadian manner, and more recent investigations aim to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms. Cytokine production varies significantly over the course of a day depending on the ... -
Dairy intakes in older Irish adults and effects on vitamin micronutrient status: Data from the TUDA study
(2016)Consumption of dairy products has been associated with positive health outcomes including a lower risk of hypertension, improved bone health and a reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes. The suggested dairy intake for ... -
Damping dependence of the reversal time of the magnetization of single-domain ferromagnetic particles for the Neel-Brown model: Langevin dynamics simulations versus analytic results
(American Physical Society, 2010)The damping dependence of the thermally activated reversal time of the magnetization of noninteracting uniaxial single-domain ferromagnetic particles is determined using Langevin dynamics simulations and the analytic ... -
Damping Ratio Estimation for a Slender Modular Building from Full Scale Ambient Response Monitoring
(2023)The application of modular construction in tall slender structures is a relatively novel concept. Modular buildings with heights exceeding 130m have been successfully constructed by combining reinforced concrete cores with ... -
The Dance of Illusive Perception
(2021)Let’s do a small thought experiment. We conceptualise the world through the information we get from our sensory organs, and a complex deductive process carried out by our brain. Let’s for simplicity focus on our vision, ... -
The 'Dance' of Kinship Care in England and Ireland: Navigating a course between regulation and relationships
(2013)There has been a significant growth in the use of formal kinship care in the UK and Ireland in the last 20 years. The paper charts some of the reasons for the ‘organic growth’ of kinship care and the multiple dynamics that ... -
“Dancing with Atoms”: A tribute to Sheila Tinney
(2023)The authors present a short dynamic visualization titled “Dancing with Atoms”, produced in honor of the late Irish mathematical physicist Sheila Tinney (1918--2010), the first Irish-born and -raised woman to receive a ... -
Danger! men at work: a study of the underepresentation of women in third-level engineering

Dangerous Liaisons: Interplay between SWI/SNF, NuRD and Polycomb in Chromatin Regulation and Cancer.
(2019)Changes in chromatin structure mediated by ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelers and histone modifying enzymes are integral to the process of gene regulation. Here, we review the roles of the SWI/SNF (switch/sucrose ... -
Danggui to Angelica sinensis root: Lost in translation? Are potential benefits of a TCM lost to European women? A review
(2014)AbstractEthnopharmacological relevance Danggui (Chinese Angelica root; Dong quai; Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels.) is a traditional Chinese herbal remedy with a long history of use in China, Korea and Japan. Even today ... -

The Dark Side of Independence: Paramilitary Violence in Ireland and Poland after the First World War
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)This article analyses excesses carried out against civilians in Ireland and Poland after the First World War. It shows how the absence of a centralised state authority with a monopoly on violence allowed for new, less ... -
Darwin's Irish correspondence
(Royal Irish Academy, 2008)Searches of Darwin?s correspondence show that some 160 letters crossed between him and naturalists and others with an Irish address. While few in number, compared to Darwin?s 14,000 other known letters, some of this ... -
Data Collection and Analysis in a Pan-European Electric Vehicle Fleet
(2013)Electric vehicles are expected to replace a significant portion of existing light vehicle fleets around the developed world over the coming decades. The technology offers several benefits both on environmental and user ...
