Design and characterization of a three-layer collagen-based scaffold to modulate BMSC behaviour for enthesis regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)The enthesis is a specialised tissue interface between tendon and bone, essential for adequate force transmission. Following injuries and surgical repair, the enthesis is often not re-established and traditionally used ... -
Design and characterization of synthetic biodegradable films for soft tissue engineering
(SciTePress, 2019)To repair soft tissue, it is vital to ensure that the biomaterial is able to mimic the complex elasticity of the native tissue. Substrate stiffness has a huge influence on cell physiology and behaviour. The present study ... -
Design and development of a performance evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-02)In this dissertation, a comprehensive evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems that are implemented in consumer electronics applications is developed. For this, firstly, a detailed literature review ... -
Design and development of polymeric transfection vectors for gene delivery in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
(2014-07-23)Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is caused by mutations in the collagen VII gene (COL7A1) that lead to an alteration of function or a reduction in the amounts of collagen VII protein (C7). Any of these ... -
Design and development of smart contract system for blockchain based applications
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-17)The work presented in this thesis describes the design and development of smart contract system for blockchain based applications. The main objective is to investigate the current state of blockchain technology and its ... -
Design and evaluation of an automated algorithm for cardiac risk stratification
(2013-12-20)In the United States, sudden cardiac death (SCD) claims approximately 450,000 lives each year, more lives than stroke, lung and breast cancer and AIDS combined. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the combined figure is ... -
The Design and Evaluation of Graphical Radial Menus
(2011-12-05)Graphical menus provide slow performance and yet users often try to select menu commands as fast as possible. Shortcut techniques that enable users to by-pass selections from a graphical menu are fast, but are not the ... -
Design and formulation of functional pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac microtissues
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013-11-19)Access to robust and information-rich human cardiac tissue models would accelerate drug-based strategies for treating heart disease. Despite significant effort, the generation of high-fidelity adult-like human cardiac ... -
Design and implementation of a performance assessment methodology cognisant of data accuracy for Irish wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)Without intervention, wastewater treatment plants will become more resource intensive as they strive to meet environmental regulations. This challenge is set against the backdrop, in many countries, of an emphasis on cost ... -
Design and manufacturing of customised maxillofacial prostheses.
(Elsevier, 2003-04-28)Customised implants created by Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) techniques and used in maxillofacial reconstruction indicate improved outcomes over conventional techniques. ‘‘Non-functional’’ multistaged procedures are ... -
Design and performance of a small-animal imaging system using synthetic collimation
(IOP Publishing, 2013-04-26)This work outlines the design and construction of a single-photon emission computed tomography imaging system based on the concept of synthetic collimation. A focused multi-pinhole collimator is constructed using ... -
