1.1 Introduction This report outlines the findings from an educational evaluation that comprehensively measured the impact that masters' degrees in healthcare management, leadership & management development and quality and safety in healthcare management had on graduates who completed the programmes at the Institute of Leadership, Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI) in Ireland. The results present...

The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) coral-reef damselfish Neopomacentrus cyanomos is well established across the south-west Gulf of Mexico (SwGoMx). Comparisons of mtDNA sequences of the SwGoMx population with those from conspecifics from 16 sites scattered across its native geographic range show that the SwGoMx population is derived from two of four native lineages: one from the north-west Pacific Oce...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have pushed the field of cell-based therapies by inducing tissue regeneration, immunosuppression, and angiogenesis mainly through vesicles soluble factors release (paracrine signaling). MSC-extracellular (MSC-EV) adaptable secretome homing to injured sites allowed researchers unlock a new era cell-free based therapy. In parallel, nanoparticles (NP) been explored in ...

The aim of this project is to develop systematic and general design procedures that can be used to develop non-linear model predictive controllers based on linear-parameter varying (LPV) embeddings. Recently, we proposed a tube-based MPC scheme which can be used to control non-linear systems represented in terms of an LPV embedding. Based on artificially constructed state constraints, a sequenc...
