Investigation of critical inter-related factors affecting the efficacy of pulsed light for inactivating clinically relevant bacterial pathogens
(Wiley, 2009-08)Aims: To investigate critical electrical and biological factors governing the efficacy of pulsed light (PL) for the in vitro inactivation of bacteria isolated from the clinical environment. Development of this alternative ... -
Investigation of ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide for dissolution enhancement of hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2018-02)The optimal design of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations requires the use of excipients to maintain supersaturation and improve physical stability in order to ensure shelf-life stability and better absorption ... -
The investigation of land management practices on the soil ecosystem
(AIT, 2019)Ireland has a cool-temperate climate and frequent rainfall which provides a suitable environment for rich, arable soil. Agriculture has always been a crucial part of Irish society, sustaining the country’s food stocks and ... -
Investigation of miscibility estimation methods between indomethacin and poly(vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate).
(Elsevier, 2018)The investigation of the miscibility between active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) and polymeric excipients is of great interest for the formulation and development of amorphous solid dispersions, especially in the ... -
Investigation of prolific sheep from UK and Ireland for evidence on origin of the mutations in BMP15 (FecXG, FecXB) and GDF9 (FecGH) in Belclare and Cambridge sheep.
(PLOS, 2013-01)This paper concerns the likely origin of three mutations with large effects on ovulation rate identified in the Belclare and Cambridge sheep breeds; two in the BMP15 gene (FecXG and FecXB) and the third (FecGH) in GDF9. ... -
An investigation of students' experiences of using virtual learning environments: implications for academic professional development.
(EDIN, 2011)Introduction Because virtual learning environments (VLEs) are amongst the most widely adopted technologies in higher education, and to justify the widespread investment in VLE technology, it is important to study patterns ... -
Investigation of the effects of orientation on freeze/thawed Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel properties.
(Elsevier, 2018-12)Although hydrogels produced via freeze-thawing (F/T) technique have been thoroughly studied in literature, stretching hydrogels in between freeze-thawing cycles could change its properties and might be modulated for drug ... -
An investigation of the in vitro effects of unconjugated linoleic acid and its potential impact on haemostasis
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2021-04)Introduction: Linoleic acid, an essential ω6 fatty acid, is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Western mammalian diet. Linoleic acid has been linked with an increased inflammatory response. It has also ... -
An investigation of the inter-molecular interaction, solid-state properties and dissolution properties of mixed Copovidone hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2019-10)Previous research has focused on spray dried quaternary mixtures which due to the addition of a surfactant 26 affected the physical stability and amorphous stability of selected model drugs. Very little research has 27 ... -
Investigation of the potential variation of toxins in bog-land water system.
(AIT, 2017)Irish bogs have suffered much damage from human activities such as peat extraction or agricultural works. Peat extraction is normally carried out with the use of drainage ditches to cause drying for ease of extraction. ... -
An investigation of the reasons why Chinese students choose colleges in Ireland as a place to study.
(2014)This study was devoted to find out what can attract the Chinese students to study in Ireland as an increasing number of Chinese students choose to study abroad. To find this out, it focused on current Chinese students ... -
An investigation of the transactional scope of a persistence context
(2014)Transactions are used in almost every application in every industry today whether it’s ecommerce, telecommunications, cloud computing etc. Java Enterprise Applications (JEAs), built using J2EE and or newer JEE technology ... -
Investigation of thermal. mechanical and shape memory properties of 3D-printed functionally graded nanocomposite materials
(MDPI, 2023-09-28)In this study, a 3D-printed photocurable resin was developed by incorporating graphene nanoplatelets functionalised with melamine to investigate the thermal, mechanical, fracture and shape memory behaviours. The objective ... -
Investigations on the efficacy of routinely used phenotypic methods compared to genotypic approaches for the identification of staphylococcal species isolated from companion animals in Irish veterinary hospitals
(BMC, 2013)BACKGROUND: Identification of Staphylococci to species level in veterinary microbiology is important to inform therapeutic intervention and management. We report on the efficacy of three routinely used commercial phenotypic ... -
Investigations on the use of exopolysaccharide derived from mycelial extract of Ganoderma lucidum as functional feed ingredient for aquaculture-farmed red hybrid Tilapia ( Oreochromis sp.)
