High-resolution gridded datasets of hydro-climate indices for Ireland
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2019-01)This report describes the application of numerical weather prediction (NWP) simulations to develop high-quality, long-term, gridded climate datasets of hydro-climate variables for Ireland, covering the period 1981 2016. ... -
High-resolution habitat suitability modelling of vulnerable marine ecosystems in the deep sea
(2013-02-15)Knowledge of the spatial distribution of species and habitats is crucial for effective management of marine resources. Data to support informed decision-making in the deep sea are often sparse or absent, as offshore sampling ... -
High-resolution imaging of ph in alkaline sediments and water based on a new rapid response fluorescent planar optode
(Springer Nature, 2016-05-20)A new dual-lumophore optical sensor combined with a robust RGB referencing method was developed for two-dimensional (2D) pH imaging in alkaline sediments and water. The pH sensor film consisted of a proton-permeable polymer ... -

High-resolution imaging of virgo cluster galaxies – i. observational techniques and first results
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1991-11-01)We investigate the potential of the image sharpening technique for making high-resolution images of Virgo cluster galaxies, in order to obtain new estimates of this cluster's distance. We have used both the Galway Image ... -
High-resolution measurement of the unsteady velocity field to evaluate blood damage induced by a mechanical heart valve
(Springer, 2011-09)We investigate the potential of prosthetic heart valves to generate abnormal flow and stress patterns, which can contribute to platelet activation and lysis according to blood damage accumulation mechanisms. High-resolution ... -
High-resolution measurements of leakage flow inside the hinge of a large-scale bileaflet mechanical heart valve hinge model
(Springer, 2019-06-24)Purpose It is believed that non-physiological leakage flow through hinge gaps during diastole contributes to thrombus formation in Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves (BMHVs). Because of the small scale and difficulty of ... -
High-resolution measurements of leakage flow through bileaflet mechanical heart valve hinges
(2017-02-24)To restore proper function of the heart, diseased valves require repair or replacement. Mechanical heart valves are one of the treatments available. Despite their superior durability in comparison with biological prostheses, ... -
High-resolution multi-scale modelling of coastal flooding due to tides, storm surges and rivers inflows: A Cork city example
(Elsevier, 2017-01-31)This paper demonstrates the capability of a new state-of-the-art flood modelling system consisting of multiple nested models to simulate urban coastal flood inundation. A flood event in Cork City, Ireland which occurred ... -
High-resolution scanning electron microscopy for the analysis of three-dimensional ultrastructure of clots in acute ischemic stroke
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-12-23)Background: Characterization of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) clots has typically focused on two dimensional histological analysis of the thrombus. The three dimensional (3D) architecture and distribution of components ... -
High-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography system and structural characterization of ex vivo biological tissues using nanosensitive OCT
(NUI Galway, 2023-09-12)Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a rapidly growing imaging modality which is based on the principle of low coherence interferometry. It can perform high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of the microstructure of ... -
High-resolution ultrasound findings in the symptomatic residual limbs of amputees
(AMSUS, 2013-12-01)Introduction: Amputations are increasingly prevalent because of medical complications associated with diabetes, meningitis, peripheral vascular disease, and neoplasms as well as road traffic accidents and war. The use of ... -
High-resolution, wide-field object reconstruction with synthetic aperture Fourier holographic optical microscopy
(Optica, 2009)We utilize synthetic-aperture Fourier holographic microscopy to resolve micrometer-scale microstructure over millimeter-scale fields of view. Multiple holograms are recorded, each registering a different, limited region ... -
High-risk corneal transplantation: Recent developments and future possibilities
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2019-12)Human corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is typically considered to have superior short- and long-term outcomes and lower requirement for immunosuppression compared to solid organ transplants because of the inherent ... -
A high-speed bi-polar outflow from the archetypical pulsating star Mira A
(2009)Optical images and high-dispersion spectra have been obtained of the ejected material surrounding the pulsating AGB star Mira A. The two streams of knots on either side of the star, found in far ultra-viollet (FUV) GALEX ... -
