Early hippocampal volume loss as a marker of eventual memory deficits caused by repeated stress
(2016)Exposure to severe and prolonged stress has detrimental effects on the hippocampus. However, relatively little is known about the gradual changes in hippocampal structure, and its behavioral consequences, over the course ... -
Early-life circumstances and later-life loneliness in Ireland
(2014)Purpose of the Study: This article examines the impact of early- and later-life circumstances on loneliness among people aged 65+ in Ireland. Design and Methods: Data are from the first wave of the Irish Longitudinal Study ... -
ECB unconventional monetary policy and SME access to finance
(2023)Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for two-thirds of employment in the euro area which makes them a priority for the transmission of monetary policy to the real economy. SMEs in Europe experienced a credit ... -
Economic Vulnerability and Severity of Debt Problems: An Analysis of the Irish EU-SILC 2008
(ESRI, 2011)In this paper, using Ireland, where debt issues are of particular salience as a test case, we seek to understand the extent to which the measures currently employed as national indicators of poverty and social exclusion ... -
Edge-carboxylated graphene nanoflakes from nitric acid oxidised arc-discharge material
(2010)Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with average diameters of 30 nm have been prepared by a single-step oxidation procedure using single-wall carbon nanotube arc-discharge material and nitric acid. The GNFs are predominately ... -
EEG alpha power and coherence time courses in a sustained attention task
(IEEE, 2003)Alpha activity at certain brain regions and the functional relationships between these regions quantified by alpha coherence were examined in a fixed sequence Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), which involves the ... -
Effect of dispersion on the reflectivity of an asymmetric Fabry?Perot etalon
(American Institute of Physics, 1995)We have shown that the spectral properties of an asymmetric Fabry?Perot etalon, with a multiple quantum well cavity, are very sensitive to dispersion in the refractive index. We also show that this effect can be used to ... -
Effect of membrane stiffness and cytoskeletal element density on mechanical stimuli within cells: an analysis of the consequences of ageing in cells
(2015)A finite element model of a single cell was created and used to compute the biophysical stimuli generated within a cell under mechanical loading. Major cellular components were incorporated in the model: the membrane, ... -
The effect of providing feedback on inhaler technique and adherence from an electronic audio recording device, INCA?, in a community pharmacy setting: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(2016)Background: Poor adherence to inhaled medication may lead to inadequate symptom control in patients with respiratory disease. In practice it can be difficul t to identify poor adherence. We designed an acoustic recording ... -
Effect of sample bias on backscattered ion spectroscopy in the helium ion microscope
(2010)The authors present experimental results showing the effect of an applied bias voltage on backscattered ion spectra acquired from thin films of ruthenium and hafnia in the helium ion microscope. A characteristic peak ... -
Effect of temperature on self-pulsation in narrow stripe, gain-guided, compact disk laser diodes
(IEEE, 1998)There is an ongoing strong interest in the development of red self-pulsating lasers for data storage compact disk (CD) applications.? Of particular importance in this mass-market application is that the laser diode ... -
The effect of the 4-amino functionality on the photophysical and DNA binding properties of alkyl-pyridinium derived 1,8-naphthalimides
(2013)The synthesis and characterisation of two cationic pyridinium based 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives (2 and 3) are described and compared to those of compound 1. The photophysical properties of 2 and 3 are shown to ... -
The Effect of Two Root Canal Sealers on the Retention of Glass Fibre Endodontic Posts
(2007)This study was undertaken to examine the effect of eugenol-containing and non-eugenol-containing root canal sealers on the retention strength of glass fibre endodontic posts (ParaPost Fibre White) luted with a resin cement ... -
Effective use of imatinib-mesylate in the treatment of relapsed chronic myeloid leukemia after allogeneic transplantation

The effectiveness and characteristics of pregnancy yoga interventions: a systematic review protocol
(2020)Background: The purpose of this review is to systematically examine the reported clinical effectiveness of pregnancy yoga. The review will use the FITT (frequency, intensity, time/duration and type) principle of physical ... -
The Effects of Caffeine on Voice: A Systematic Review.
(2023)Background Caffeine is considered a dehydrating agent due to its diuretic effects and influences the body's fluid balance. The relationship between voice and hydration has been widely investigated and it is accepted that ... -
Effects of recirculation of seawater enriched in inorganic nitrogen on dissolved organic carbon processing in sandy seepage face sediments
(2014)Human activities are now the main source of bioavailable Nitrogen to Earth's ecosystems. Disruption of the N cycle can promote changes to the biogeochemical cycling of other elements in particular to the oxygen and carbon ... -
Eisenstein, Montage and 'filmic writing'
(Brill, 2004)This essay considers the ways in which Eisenstein’s interest in the ideogram as a model for film language was reconsidered and reconfigured in the work of the French film theorist Marie-Claire Ropars-Wuilleumier in the ...
