Processing of adaptive optics photoreceptor images and application to the study of healthy and diabetic retinas
(2017-11-17)
The introduction of adaptive optics (AO) into vision science has made it possible for clinicians to study the human retina in vivo with high-resolution images. The study of AO images of the cone photoreceptor mosaic is ...
Observational based evaluation of air-sea gas fluxes and turbulence in the surface ocean boundary layer
(NUI Galway, 2018-04-09)
Turbulence within the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is an important
quantity for many processes as it mixes the ocean and transports various
ocean quantities such as pollutants, heat, and dissolved gases. ...
Quantum dots in bio-imaging and drug delivery
(2015-11-23)
This work explores a range of bionanomaterials, with particular attention to their influence on cell growth, function and fate. Also the issue of intracellular nanoparticles quantification has been addressed in experimental ...
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics studies on the ocean-atmosphere
(2015-09-05)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the use of applied mathematics, physics, and computational software to visualize how a fluid flows around objects. CFD is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how the ...
Lower-atmosphere upper-ocean interactions: the influences of breaking waves
(2015-10-29)
Wave breaking at the ocean surface is an important process for air-sea
exchange. Whitecaps are visual sea surface signatures of breaking waves.
By measuring the fractional coverage of whitecaps on the sea surface, it ...
High Resolution Flood Illumination Retinal Imaging System with Adaptive Optics
(2012-07-16)
Retinal imaging has its advantages both in the research laboratory and medical applications. Acquiring high resolution in-vivo images of the retina requires some form of correction for aberrations. To address that, the ...
Characterising occupational exposure to glyphosate among amenity horticulturists
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-19)
A dearth of knowledge exists regarding occupational glyphosate exposures among
amenity horticulturalists. Glyphosate is the highest volume herbicide used globally,
and has recently been classified by the International ...
On extending depth of field in fast photographic lenses
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-04)
Modern smartphone cameras are equipped with multiple camera modules. These modules are typically five millimetres in length limiting the focal length of the lens. To preserve resolution the entrance pupil of these lenses ...
Detection of faint exoplanets in multispectral data
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-15)
The detection of extrasolar planets is extremely difficult due to their extreme faintness and proximity to their parent stars. Direct, ground-based detection is particularly challenging and despite the incredible contrast ...
Sources, concentrations, and screening of hazardous brominated flame retardants from waste streams in Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-12)
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are organohalogen compounds which are applied to polymer-based materials in order to meet fire safety standards. Some of the most commonly-used of these BFRs in consumer plastic over the ...
