The Genus ochrobactrum as major opportunistic pathogens

Ryan, Michael P.; Pembroke, Tony J. (MDPI, 2020)

Ochrobactrum species are non-enteric, Gram-negative organisms that are closely related to the genus Brucella. Since the designation of the genus in 1988, several distinct species have now been characterised and implicated ...

Geoffrey Dyson Keynote: Applications of Functional Data Analysis in Sports Biomechanics.

Harrison, Andrew J. (Internatinal Society of Biomechanics in Sport, 2014)

This paper reconsiders the challenge of analysing coordination in human movement with particular emphasis on the application of Functional Data Analysis and Functional Principal Component Analysis. The process of Functional ...

Geometric insight into the control allocation problem for open-frame ROVs and visualisation of solution

Omerdić, Edin; Trslić, Petar; Kaknjo, Admir; Weir, Anthony; Rao, Muzaffar; Dooly, Gerard; Toal, Daniel (MDPI, 2020)

The overall control system for an open-frame Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is typically built from three subsystems: guidance, navigation and control (GNC). The control allocation plays a vital role in the control ...

Geometric-material analogy for multiscale modelling of twisted plates

Kordolemis, A.; Weaver, Paul M. (Elsevier, 2017)

It is well known that the macroscopic behaviour of many engineering materials is strongly affected by the role of underlying microstructure. Currently though, mathematical expressions linking behaviour of large scale ...

Geometrical influences on the fluid mechanics of oscillating cantilevers

Conway, Ciaran (University of Limerick, 2019)

Recent advances in microelectronics integration have resulted in electronic devices with high power densities and significantly high heat fluxes (~102 - 103W/m2). The thermal management challenges posed by these miniaturised ...

Geometry in architecture

O'Shaughnessy, Sinead (School of Architecture, University of Limerick, 2011)

Can a harmony be achieved between the social and physical aspects of a design when designing through geometry and, if so, how is this to be accomplished? The problem with this design method is that it appears to emphasise ...

George Egerton's translocational subjects

O'Toole, Tina (John Hopkins University Press, 2014)

The name of George Egerton (Mary Chavelita Dunne Bright) (1859–1945) became practically synonymous with decadence when Elkin Mathews and John Lane’s partnership, the Bodley Head, published her sexually bold first ...

Germanium tin alloy nanowires as anode materials for high performance Li-Ion batteries

Doherty, Jessica; McNulty, David; Biswas, Subhajit; Moore, Kalani; Conroy, Michele A.; Bangert, Ursel; O'Dwyer, Colm; Holmes, Justin D. (IOP Publishing, 2020)

The combination of two active Li-ion materials (Ge and Sn) can result in improved conduction paths and higher capacity retention. Here we report for the ﬁrst time, the implementation of Ge1–xSnx alloy nanowires as anode ...

Gesture in children with early language delay as a predictor of later language profiles: a follow-up study

Fitzgerald, Rosalind (University of Limerick, 2015)

Background: A link between gesture and early language development is well-established (Owens, 2005; Iverson & Goldin-Meadow, 2005). O’Neill and Chiat (2012) found a significant correlation between symbolic comprehension ...

Get(ting) to the start line – the evaluation of an innovative intervention to address adolescents’ school related stress and anxiety

Cale, Lorraine; Harris, Jo P.; Hooper, Oliver (SAGE, 2020)

There are growing concerns over young people’s mental health, the academic pressures they face, and the association between school-related stress and health. Given this, alongside the known benefits of physical activity ...

Getting at ephemeral flaws

Lopez, Tamara; Petre, Marian; Nuseibeh, Bashar (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)

Software rarely works as intended when it is initially written. Things go wrong, and developers are commonly understood to form theories and strategies to deal with them. Much of this knowledge relates to ephemeral flaws ...
