Computational modelling of the degradation of poly-L-lactide for a bioresorbable polymeric stent
(NUI Galway, 2020-05-08)
The interest in biodegradable polymers for the design of bioresorbable stents, temporary vascular scaffolds designed to restore patency to obstructed vessels, has witnessed a dramatic growth over the last ten to fifteen ...
Nitrogen removal using partial nitritation-anammox process
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-26)
The partial nitritation-anammox (PN-A) process is a promising biological nitrogen-removal process. Compared with the conventional autotrophic nitrification-heterotrophic denitrification process, it requires no organic ...
Analysis of the behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder slabs during construction using laboratory and field testing
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-31)
One of the emerging technologies in construction is the development of ‘smart structures’ which have sensors which will allow more efficient, resilient and sustainable structures to be designed and constructed. This research ...
Fibrin-in-fibrin intervention for enhanced dopaminergic graft survival in Parkinson’s disease: Special focus on brain N-glycans
(NUI Galway, 2019-11-07)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused due to the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) translating into the classical motor symptoms ...
Unsupervised target-driven artificial neural networks for dynamic DDoS mitigation within the ISP domain
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-08)
Contemporary Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack vectors can change their
traffic patterns during the time when an attack is underway, and as such, pre-trained
models can struggle to identify new attack traffic ...
Biophysical and biochemical microenvironmental cues for tenogenic phenotype maintenance, differentiation and trans-differentiation in vitro
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-19)
Tendon injuries affect tens of millions of people worldwide each year and as the average lifespan increases their occurrence also increases, Achilles rupture rates alone have increased by ≈ 1000% in the last 40 years. ...
The influence of collagen type I source and cross-linking on cell function and phenotype maintenance
(NUI Galway, 2023-09-13)
Collagen is a complex supramolecular structure that occurs in highly diverse
morphologies across different tissues, lending them a range of physical and biological
functions. Collagens have a long history in both ...
Through-process characterisation for welding, microstructure evolution and constitutive response of 9Cr steel material for flexible power plant operation
(NUI Galway, 2020-05-06)
This thesis presents a combined experimental and computational characterisation programme of work for development of a through-process modelling methodology for the welding, post-weld heat treatment and in-service performance ...
Building semantic models and knowledge graphs for intelligent smart manufacturing applications
(NUI Galway, 2024-04-04)
Industry 4.0 (I4.0) (or smart manufacturing) is a new era in the industrial
revolution that emphasises machine connectivity, automation, and data an alytics. This revolution has led to the creation of production lines ...
Piezoelectric scaffolds: Mediating tendon regeneration by activation of piezosensitive receptors
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-15)
Tendon disease caused by trauma, illness or age-related degeneration constitutes an unmet clinical need. Tendon repair using different pharmacological and engineering strategies based on both synthetic and biological grafts ...
