An assessment of allergenic mite species and allergens in vehicles and homes, with particular reference to dust mite transfer in clothing
Clarke, David (2015-03-25)Dust mite allergens cause conditions including asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis in people globally. Most studies investigating aspects of mite ecology and epidemiology have focussed on Pyroglyphid mites, ... -
Discrete vector fields and the cohomology of certain arithmetic and crystallographic groups
Bui, Anh Tuan (2015-05-26)This thesis has two main topics: Arithmetic groups and Crystallographic groups. The work on arithmetic groups SL(2, Z[1/m]) was motivated by a question of Kevin Hutchinson and also a generalization of the paper "On the ... -
Edge-minimal graphs of exponent 2
O'Mahony, Olga (2017-11-21)A simple undirected finite graph G has the me_2-property if every pair of distinct vertices of G is connected by a path of length 2, but this property does not survive the deletion of an edge. If u and v are adjacent ... -
Identification of novel drug combinations for haematological malignancies
Reidy, Mairéad (2015-01-29)TNF-related apoptosis ligand (TRAIL) is a tumour selective cytokine with potential anti-cancer activity which is currently in clinical trials. Haematological malignancies along with several other cancers have showed varied ... -
Investigating the epigenetic regulation of toll-like receptor 3
Hennessy, Conor (2017-10-20)Toll-like receptors are a family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which have evolved to recognise structurally conserved components of microorganisms. They form an important part of the innate immune system, yet ... -
A morpho-kinematic and spectroscopic study of bipolar planetary nebulae
Clyne, Niall (2015-09-28)In this thesis, studies of the kinematic properties for a sample of Galactic bipolar planetary nebulae, based on optical and infrared observations, were performed us- ing a morpho–kinematic code, optical and NIR diagnostic ... -
On the table of marks of a direct product of finite groups
Masterson, Brendan (2016-02-10)The table of marks was first introduced by William Burnside in his book "Theory of groups of finite order" in 1955. The table of marks counts the number of fixed points one subgroup has in the action of the cosets of ... -
A structural and functional characterisation of human term myometrium
Sweeney, Eva M (2015-04-27)This thesis encompasses two aims, firstly, to describe the normal anatomy of human term myometrium, as this is not fully characterised in the literature, and secondly, to assess whether this morphology is altered with ... -
A study of turbulence and infall over multiple scales of star formation
Wiles, Brandon (2014-09-28)The understanding of the processes of star formation informs the understanding and investigation of questions of galactic dynamics and the formation of stellar systems of exoplanets and so sits between the galactic and ...
