Anatase to rutile transition in titanium dioxide photocatalytic nanomaterials /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Anatase and brookite are both considered metastable phases and transition irreversibly into the thermodynamically stable rutile phase at elevated temperatures (600-700°C in pure synthetic TiO2). Anatase TiO2 is widely ... -
Controlled release of the histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate for increasing recombinant protein production /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Improving the yields of biopharmaceutical products from mammalian cell culture is of paramount importance to manufacturing companies; increasing product yield includes enhancing recombinant gene expression in mammalian ... -
A real-time alert system for predicting and managing short-term pollution and bathing water quality at Enniscrone beach /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Under the Bathing Water Directive [2006/7/EC] there is a new highest microbiological quality classification of “Excellent” that is much more stringent than the highest standard of the old directive. This has serious ... -
A review of chromatography methods for the large scale downstream protein purification of monoclonal antibodies /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Researchers have continually proposed new non-chromatographic methods for manufacturing biopharmaceutical products. However, this report will show that chromatography remains the backbone of the downstream operation. ... -
An alternative to Triton X-100 for use in viral inactivation for recombinant factor VIII /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Solvent detergent combinations for viral inactivation have long been used in the manufacture of Biopharmaceutical products due their proven safety record for inactivating viruses. Triton X-100, a non-ionic detergent, has ... -

(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2018)The focus of this research is in the area of European clinical trial regulation for medical devices to determine if the health and welfare of human participants is protected. There were four questions to be addressed: 1) ... -
Investigation of the mineral profile of Fucus serratus Linneaus aqueous extracts and examination of the routes of uptake of minerals both in vivo and in vitro /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2018)Seaweed baths are used to promote health and well-being. Seaweed typically contains water, fibre, carbohydrate, protein, lipid, vitamins and minerals. Minerals can account for up to 40% of its composition. Iodine is vital ... -
Unilateral strength training and mirror therapy for enhancing upper limb motor function post stroke /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Cross-education of strength appears to be beneficial in the rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses causing bilateral asymmetry. Furthermore, evidence for the effectiveness of mirror therapy to enhance cross-education in ... -
Unilateral strength training and mirror therapy for enhancing lower limb motor function after stroke /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability. Hemiparesis and spasticity are common impairments, resulting in ankle dorsiflexion dysfunction and gait asymmetry. Often the most-affected side is too weak to engage in ... -
Multiregional Medical Device Registration /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2017)The landscape of multiregional medical device registration is an area with highly variable regulations, varying regulator application and expectations, alongside swift changes in some regions. Accessing international ... -
