(Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2019)Background: Social media platforms play a vital role in the dissemination of health information. However, evidence suggests that a high proportion of Twitter posts (ie, tweets) are not necessarily accurate, and many studies ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)There are many examples of the utilization of formal methods for creating complete specifications of software applications. Often these are bounded in scope to the concept of a critical system. This work looks to expand ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)This study investigated the in vitro antithrombotic properties of the lipids extracted from malted grain (MG), brewer’s spent grain (BSG), raw hops (RWHP), spent hops (SPHP), wort, and beer. Total lipids (TL) were extracted ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)The aims of this thesis were to (a) study the properties of Low Moisture Part-Skim (LMPS) Mozzarella; (b) investigate the effects of 40% fat and 30% salt reduction on the properties of LMPS Mozzarella; (c) improve the ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)The horse industry in Ireland is renowned globally and is estimated to be worth approximately €2 billion per annum to the Irish economy. While Ireland excels in horse production the quality of forages fed to horses over ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)The optical fibre sensor (OFS) has been studied for the last few decades and has found extensive use in many scientific and engineering fields including major application areas such as environmental, chemical, and biomedical. ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)Free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) communities are commonly understood according to the Onion model. This thesis presents an alternative approach of understanding participation, the habitualepisodic lens drawn from ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)Crystallization is a puriification process during which molecules of a crystal compound bond together arranging themselves in a compound specific orderly lattice structure in which foreign molecules known as impurities ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)This thesis examines the static equilibrium shapes and stability of various capillary surfaces. The equilibrium shapes are accurately approximated using asymptotic series solutions in the micro-gravity limit. The stability ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)In the first part of this thesis, mathematical models describing solvent and drug diffusion in glassy polymers are investigated using both numerical and approximate methods. These models are analysed using formal ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)Physical loading is a potent regulator of bone anabolism, yet the cellular mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. Due to the finite lifespan of bone forming osteoblasts, it is hypothesized that these cells ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2019)Contemporary internet consumer usage, in the form of social media and wide scale video streaming, has induced an exponential rise in the demand for high speed data. Optical communications infrastructure has had to evolve ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019)With mechanical loading as the main risk factor for LBP, exoskeletons (EXO) are designed to reduce the load on the back by taking over part of the moment normally generated by back muscles. The present study investigated ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2019)Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pose a serious risk to patients suffering from a compromised immune system and those patients with cystic fibrosis. Confirming their presence often ...
-
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)A detailed systematic theoretical study of the mechanism of the homogeneous Brønsted -acid catalysis of D-glucose in aqueous solution phase ("acid hydrolysis") is reported. G4MP2 with the SMD solvation model at ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)Tryptic hydrolysis of whey protein isolate under specific incubation conditions including a relatively high enzyme:substrate (E:S) ratio of 1:10 is known to preferentially hydrolyse ß-lactoglobulin (ß-LG), while retaining ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)Marine polar lipids (PLs) have exhibited promising cardioprotection. In this study, marine by-products such as salmon heads (SHs), their brain, eyes and main optic nerves (SBEON),and head-remnants after SBEON removal ...
-
(BMC, 2019)Background: Depression is a common and recurrent condition among older adults and is associated with poorquality of life and increased health care utilization and costs. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2015)In this research, we investigate electrolessly deposited nanotubes due to their unique associated magnetic and catalytic properties. The main challenge associated with electroless deposition is the formation of a nanotube ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2014)Silicon Chromium (SiCr) Thin Film Resistors (TFRs) have been developed and integrated into CMOS ICs for over twenty years. Current state of the art sputtering technology achieves integrated resistors with temperature ...
