Development of a nested 3D hydrodynamic model for tidal turbine impact assessment
(2016-05-12)Tidal current energy resources have the potential to provide a sizable proportion of our future energy requirements. However, significant questions still exist on the impacts of tidal turbines on the hydrodynamic environment. ... -
Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ... -
Development of a novel companion diagnostic for IRE1α activity and its application to investigate the role of IRE1α in acute myeloid leukaemia cells
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-28)The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism activated in response to accumulation of unfolded protein (termed ER stress). Activation of the UPR is observed during many physiological processes ... -
Development of a novel water quality index model using data science approaches
(NUI Galway, 2023-05-30)The thesis present the Irish Water Quality Index (IEWQI) model for assessing transitional and coastal water quality in an effort to improve the method and develop a tool that can be used by environmental regulators to abate ... -
The development of a novel, pre-deployment resilience building programme for Irish defence forces personnel
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-27)Background: Military personnel are, by the nature of their profession, at an increased risk of exposure to potentially traumatic events. Military personnel are also exposed to chronic stress caused by work related factors ... -
Development of a Probabilistic Multi-Zone Multi-Source Computational Model for Indoor Air Pollution Exposure Assessment
(2014-02-12)Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) is a major environmental concern because of its known impacts on human health, and since the developed world population spends approximately 89% of its time indoors, PM in the indoor ... -
The development of a prototype behavioral marker system for U.S Navy Officers of the Deck
(2011)The Officer of the Deck (OOD) of a U.S Navy ship is in charge of the safe and proper operation of the ship, and accountable to the Commanding Officer for every event that occurs during his or her OOD watch. This paper ... -
Development of a psychometric measure of physical post traumatic growth in prostate cancer and evaluation of its role in predicting psychological adjustment
(2015-01-30)Post traumatic growth (PTG) can be defined as positive change following a traumatic event (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995). The current conceptualisation of PTG encompasses five main dimensions: perceived changes in self; ... -
Development of a rapid Polarized Total Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy (pTSFS) method for protein quantification in a model bioreactor broth
(Wiley, 2021-01-27)Protein quantification during bioprocess monitoring is essential for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and is complicated by the complex chemical composition of the bioreactor broth. Here we present the early-stage development ... -
Development of a rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in whole blood
(BioMed Central, 2015-10-29)Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of microbial disease in humans. The introduction of multivalent vaccines has coincided with a dramatic decrease in the number of pneumococcal-related deaths. In ... -
Development of a rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the detection of streptococcus pneumoniae in whole blood
(Springer Nature, 2015-10-29)Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of microbial disease in humans. The introduction of multivalent vaccines has coincided with a dramatic decrease in the number of pneumococcal-related deaths. In ... -
Development of a real-time multiplex pcr assay for the detection of multiple salmonella serotypes in chicken samples
(Springer Nature, 2008-01-01)Background: A real-time multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection of multiple Salmonella serotypes in chicken samples. Poultry-associated serotypes detected in the assay include Enteritidis, Gallinarum, Typhimurium, ... -
The Development of A Realistic Simulation Framework with OMNeT++
(IEEE, 2008)It is necessary to use simulation tools in the study of wireless network. The object-oriented modular discrete event network simulator, OMNeT++, can not only afford many network simulation but has strong GUI support and ... -
Development of a standardised assessment methodology relating to flexibility analysis for demand response
(NUI Galway, 2020-09-28)Power and energy flexibility in buildings and sites is an integral part of the solution to address the electrical grid’s challenges posed by increasing renewable generation, decarbonisation of the electricity supply and ... -
Development of a stock-recruit model for simulating stock dynamics for uncertain situations: the example of northeast atlantic mackerel (scomber scombrus)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-04-12)The assumption of a relationship between recruitment and a spawning stock is the cornerstone of the precautionary approach and may constrain the use of a maximum sustainable yield (MSY) target for fisheries management, ... -
Development of a structured on-the-job training model
(2007)This paper examines the potential of using knowledge management in developing a structured on-the-job training programme. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, multiple sources of evidence were collected from ... -
The development of a supplier performance evaluation tool
(2005)As product life cycles continue to shrink and global competition increases, manufacturers are outsourcing what they consider to be non-strategic activities in order to focus on their core competencies. Consequently these ... -
