Macromolecular crowding for chondrogenic phenotype maintenance and stem cell differentiation
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-31)
Chondrocyte-based tissue engineering therapies require in vitro cell expansion, which is associated with loss of phenotype, decrease in synthesis of collagen type II and increase in synthesis of collagen type I. Another ...
Carbon fibre reinforced PEEK laminated as a material for orthopaedic devices: An experimental and computational investigation
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-27)
The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate carbon fibre reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) laminates as a material for fracture fixation devices through a combination of experimental testing and computational ...
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, ...
Signal and image processing technology for smart agriculture applications
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-25)
This thesis is concerned with development of signal and image processing technology for
smart agriculture applications, with a particular focus on applications in automatic weeding
systems. Developing an automatic weeding ...
Optimised energy management for energy harvesting powered wireless sensors
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-30)
Energy harvesting provides a promising opportunity as the power source for wireless sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT) related applications (e.g. smart buildings, autonomous cars). However there are issues encountered ...
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 ...
