Automated SoC neural networks and UWB radar bladder modelling
(2016-11-10)
This thesis describes two significant research achievements. Part I describes the development of a novel System on Chip (SoC) hardware neural network simulator for diverse and biologically accurate neural network simulations. ...
Exploring a novel class of fluorophores: the 2,5-dihydro-1,2,3-triazines
(2016-09-27)
The 1,2,3-triazines, also known as the v-triazines, are the least studied of the three classes of triazine. This is due to the ring’s lower stability and more limited synthetic routes. A new class of fluorophores, based ...
Dominant discourse and prevailing practice: positioning financial education within education
(2016-07-06)
In the last decade of the 20th century, Ireland experienced a period of unprecedented growth in the economy, being dubbed ‘the Celtic Tiger’(Smith). Parallel to this came about significant societal shifts, as a new ...
Surface modification of electrodes for enzymatic fuel cell application
(2016-01-07)
The immobilisation chemistry of enzymes and redox complexes capable of shuttling electrons between enzymes and electrode surface can have an impact on the magnitude and stability of current response, with implications for ...
Development of a gene-eluting stent for the treatment of in-stent restenosis
(2016-05-12)
In-stent restenosis (ISR) results from stent-induced arterial injury, characterized by a complex cascade of cellular and biochemical events. The removal of endothelium during an angioplasty procedure causes the underlying ...
The EU-protected slug geomalacus maculosus: an investigation into its phylogenetics, population densities in conifer plantations and its gut microbial community
(2016-04-04)
Geomalacus maculosus is an EU protected Lusitanian slug species which is only found in Ireland and Northern Iberia. It inhabits largely undisturbed habitats such as blanket bogs and forests where it feeds on lower plants ...
Language assessment of native Irish speaking children: towards developing diagnostic testing for speech and language therapy practice.
(2016-04)
Knowledge of typical language development, where available, is used as a comparative tool for the education of referral agents as well as for the efficacious assessment and treatment of language difficulties in children. ...
Molecular evolution of imprinted, orphan and De novo genes in plant genomes
(2016-02-23)
A range of different genetic processes can facilitate species-specific adaptations. These include orphan genes and genes subject to genomic imprinting. All organisms are known to contain unique genes that have no recognizable ...
NGF/p75NTR or HSPB1-mediated regulation of cell survival under stress
(2016-02-09)
Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) lack estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 receptors rendering them insensitive to current hormone targeted therapies. However, TNBC have been reported to express and secrete an additional ...
Entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE): a business model approach
(2016-04-07)
Researchers of entrepreneurship lack a general, yet distinct, conceptual framework that both describes how entrepreneurial action occurs and predicts who does it. Some scholars have noted that the emerging concept of ...
