(2016-11-16)
This thesis examines the role and contributions of women to mortuary ritual in Erris in the post-Famine era. The written evidence for the project is based on the oral testaments of both women and men mainly but not exclusively ...
Preserving control: understanding people's experiences before, during and after involuntary admission under the Mental Health Act 2001
(2016-06-08)
Aim: To generate a grounded theory to understand people’s experiences before, during and after involuntary admission and/or detention.
Background: The MHA (2001) provides a legal framework for the involuntary admission ...
The glycosylation signature of human urinary extracellular vesicles
(2015-12-22)
Cells of virtually all organs and tissues are known to release large numbers of subcellular particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) into bodily fluids such as blood and urine. There has been a growing interest in ...
Characterization of separated pig manure composted with a variety of bulking agents at low initial C/N ratios
(2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the composting of separated pig manure solids with or without a variety of bulking agents at a low initial C/N ratio (12.5-23.3). Compost stability was investigated using an oxygen ...
On the equivariant K-homology of PSL_2 of the imaginary quadratic integers
(Association des Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2016-09)
We establish formulae for the part due to torsion of the equivariant $K$-homology of all the Bianchi groups (PSL$_2$ of the imaginary quadratic integers), in terms of elementary number-theoretic quantities. To achieve this, ...
Mental health First Aid in an Irish Context
(2013-02-01)
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an early intervention training course designed to improve the knowledge, skills and confidence of non-clinicians to manage mental health emergencies. The course aims to minimise the ...
Interaction of nanoparticles with ideal liquid-liquid interfaces
(2009)
Using molecular simulations the interaction between a noncharged nanoparticle and an ideal liquid-liquid interface is studied. The free energy profile as function of nanoparticle-interface separation is determined using ...
Algorithms, social media and mental health
(Society for Computers and Law, 2016-09-28)
Algorithmic identification of mental health characteristics is feasible on the basis of easily available information on social media. Such information can be extracted by algorithmic methods from publicly available ...
Narratives of slimming: women and weight management in Irish society
(2016-11-18)
This PhD study presents a feminist sociological analysis of the construction of narratives of slimming in Irish society. Theoretically, the study is informed by three main arguments: firstly, that the pursuit/attainment ...
Investigation of intron coevolution and the autoimmune potential of alternative splicing
(2016-07-20)
Introns are non-coding intergenic sequences that are routinely excised from nascent pre-mRNA transcripts by a process known as splicing. Although they do not contribute directly to the protein-coding sequences of genes, ...
