Non-linear anisotropic mechanical behaviour of hard and soft tissues
(2015-09-30)
The overall objective of this thesis is to develop accurate and rigorous constitutive formulations for the non-linear anisotropic behaviour of soft tissue (arterial) and hard tissues (trabecular bone) at large strains.

Identification of IRS4 and TOP2A as novel CDC7 kinase interacting proteins
(2016-02-08)
CDC7 is an essential serine/threonine kinase required for the initiation of DNA
replication in eukaryotic cells, through phosphorylating the MCM helicase complex.
Formation of an active kinase requires the binding to ...
A three-scale finite element investigation into the effects of tissue mineralisation and lamellar organisation in human cortical and trabecular bone
(Elsevier, 2012-03-20)
Bone is an exceptional material that is lightweight for efficient movement but also exhibits excellent strength and stiffness imparted by a composite material of organic proteins and mineral crystals that are intricately ...
Classification of narcotics in solid mixtures using principal component analysis and Raman spectroscopy
(ASTM International, 2002-03-01)
Eighty-five solid samples consisting of illegal narcotics diluted with several different materials were analyzed by near-infrared (785 nm excitation) Raman spectroscopy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to ...
Semantic relation classification: task formalisation and refinement
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2016-12-12)
The identification of semantic relations between terms within texts is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing which can support applications requiring a lightweight semantic interpretation model. Currently, ...
Diagnostics and intervention methods for façade retrofit of post-WWII non-domestic buildings in Europe for energy efficiency
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
The growing demand of deep façade retrofits in refurbishment projects across Europe, is often accompanied by low-energy targets and architectural attributes. Factors like variability in context, material, environment and ...
From Connemara to Minnesota: The Nugent Emigration Scheme, 1880
(2016-05-10)
Abstract
This study examines an assisted emigration scheme undertaken by Father James Nugent of Liverpool in June 1880. With the support of Bishop John Ireland of St Paul, Minnesota, Nugent transferred thirty-five destitute ...
Equality omitted reform: an exploration of 'egalitarian' and 'efficiency' principles in Irish health care provision within an institutionalist framework.
(2016-05-11)
This thesis is an exploratory study of the theory and practice of equality in shaping modern policy conceptions of access and entitlement to health care provision. In most modern democratic societies, the principles of ...
