Contributions to deep learning methodologies
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-26)
In recent years the Deep Neural Networks (DNN) has been using widely in a big range of
machine learning and data-mining purposes. This pattern recognition approach can handle
highly nonlinear problems.
In this work, ...
Development of efficient data assimilation methods for solute transport problems
(NUI Galway, 2018-09-18)
The solution of marine contaminant transport problems is a significant research topic in civil engineering. Typically, the problem is represented as a partial differential equation described by the non-stationary, ...
A study of perceived workload and ‘Levels of Automation’ in low-dose rate brachytherapy
(2017-02-21)
A study of perceived workload and ‘Levels of Automation’ (LOA) was performed at the ‘Treatment delivery’ stage of Low-Dose Rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy, which is a modality of cancer treatment. Five research questions ...
On the application of analytical techniques to mobile network CDRs for the characterisation and modelling of subscriber behaviour
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-13)
This thesis describes work completed on the characterisation and modelling of the behaviour of subscribers in mobile phone networks implementing dynamic pricing by means of Call Detail Records (CDR) datasets analysis. The ...
Distributed dataflow processing of large RDF graphs
(2017-05-29)
As part of the big data world, RDF, the graph-based data model of the Semantic
Web, is growing in use. Consequently, the size of available RDF data is increasing
and massive datasets are becoming commonplace. Nevertheless, ...
Next generation HBBTV services and applications through multimedia synchronisation
(2015-09-18)
In this thesis, the focus is on multi-source, multi-platform media synchronisation on a single device. Multimedia synchronisation is a broad research area with many facets across many multimedia application types. With ...
Formal calibration methodology relating to CFD models of naturally ventilated internal environments
(2013-08-16)
The building sector is responsible for 40% of total global energy consumption.
Half of the energy consumed by buildings relates to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Natural ventilation can provide ...
A thermodynamically motivated investigation of cell and tissue remodelling
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-24)
The overall objective of this thesis is to provide a new understanding of the mechanisms that drive cell spreading and remodelling, and to extend this understanding to remodelling at a tissue and organ level.
A steady-state ...
A structural approach to community-level social influence analysis
(2014-04-10)
Social communities shape the way people interact. E.g. members of online discussion communities frequently exchange information, experience, or knowledge about practically anything from software to bird watching. The rising ...
A market framework for collaborative robot exploration
(2014-04-07)
This research considers the problem of using miniature low-cost robots for real-world tasks. The issues of low quality sensor data, inaccurate odometry, low processing capacity and limited power are approached through the ...
