Estimation and analysis of gene expression and alternative splicing: perspectives from development and disease
(2014-01-30)
The development of high-throughput genomics technologies has contributed substantially to the understanding of gene expression regulation. With the growing appreciation of the importance of alternative splicing, quantitative ...
Classifying Physical Activities from Accelerometry data recorded from healthy, elderly and neurological subjects
(2012-12-22)
By 2050 two billion people will be aged 60 or older representing 22% of the global population. As this skew in the population distribution develops the nature of elderly health care provision will need to evolve. This ...
Machine learning and high-performance computing: Infrastructure and algorithms for the genome-scale study of genetic and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms with applications in neuroscience
(2014-06-30)
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has fundamentally changed modern genomics re-search. These sequencers generate terabytes of data and necessitate the use, not only of high-performance compute (HPC) clusters ...
Investigating the use of distributional semantic models for co-hyponym identification in special corpora
(2015-06-15)
Knowledge is assumed by cognitive science to consist of concepts that are organised and maintained by complex processes taking place in human minds. These processes are not yet accessible directly. Language is still the ...
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. ...
Design and development of a performance evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-02)
In this dissertation, a comprehensive evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
that are implemented in consumer electronics applications is developed. For this, firstly, a detailed
literature review ...
