Contributions to neural network models and training datasets for facial depth
(NUI Galway, 2023-03-27)The depth estimation problem has made significant progress due to recent improvements in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and the incorporation of traditional methodologies in these deep learning systems. Depth ... -
The Design, Development and Validation of a Wearable Behaviour Monitor for the Autonomous Assessment of the Functional Health of Older Adults
(2013-12-23)Functional ability describes a person's capability to perform those tasks that are necessary to live independently. It is a proven predictor of functional decline, the need for hospitalisation and institutionalisation ... -
Enhancing the situational awareness of the active distribution network
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-21)Power distribution system operation has become increasingly complex with the large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). This has led to a paradigm shift in the operation and planning of the power ... -
Improved cardiac arrhythmia prediction based on heart rate variability analysis
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-10)Many types of ventricular and atrial cardiac arrhythmias have been discovered in clinical practice in the past 100 years, and these arrhythmias are a major contributor to sudden cardiac death. Ventricular tachycardia, ... -
Investigation into the Influence of Temperature on the Cryopreservation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2012-09-28)Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are utilised in regenerative medicine due to their multilineage differentiation potential, ease of isolation, capacity for in vitro expansion and wide-spread availability in the adult tissues. ... -
An investigation on the use of sensory electrical stimulation as a cueing therapy to ameliorate on-state freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's Disease
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-04)People with Parkinson’s (PwP) currently face a significant challenge in managing on-state Freezing of Gait (FoG). While auditory and visual cueing therapies have been shown to ameliorate on-state FoG, studies often show ... -
