B-spline smoothing and statistical inference for systems of differential equations

O'Shea, Pádraig (University of Limerick, 2019)

Traditional algorithms for modelling functional data use derivative-based optimisation methods to fit parameters. The process of finnding the derivatives of the fitting criterion with respect to the parameters is complex. ...
Bacterial and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal interactions for mobilisation of organically bound sulfur in soil

Gahan, Jacinta (University of Limerick, 2015)

Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient that is increasingly limiting to crop yield as a result of reduced atmospheric deposition and high yielding crop varieties rapidly depleting soil S stocks. Plants obtain S from soil ...
Bayesian approach to disease model calibration

Semochkina, Daria A. (University of Limerick, 2018)

This thesis is concerned with the calibration of disease models in order to inform decisions about public health problems. These models are used to make predictions about the likely outcomes of disease spread (e.g. ...
Becoming a teacher: students’ experiences and perceptions

Coady, Lisa (University of Limerick, Department of Education & Professional Studies, 2010)

This research is focused on teacher education students in initial, concurrent teacher education programmes at the University of Limerick (UL). This longitudinal study tracks two cohorts of student teachers from Year Two ...
Becoming evidence based practitioners: a study of final year occupational therapy students from University of Limerick.

McCafferty, Gena (University of Limerick, 2013)

Background: Evidence based practice (EBP) is an essential requirement of occupational therapists in practice today in order to support the efficacy of interventions and fulfil the ethical requirements of providing the best ...
Becoming evidence based practitioners: a study of final year occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and physiotherapy students at the University of Limerick

Woods, Fidelma (University of Limerick, 2013)

Background: Health professionals are urged to use evidence-based practice to make valid decisions to optimise client outcomes and clinical efficiency (Rotter et al 2010). Education and fieldwork placement allows health ...
Behavioural modelling of RF nonlinear power amplifiers in orthogonal frequency division multiplex transmitter systems

Lei, Yiming (University of Limerick, 2010)

The major weakness of frequently used Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals is their high sensitivity to nonlinear amplification process when they are driven through RF power amplifiers (PAs). In research ...

Best practice for delivering a computer based training programme to a transition year school group : the case of autotrack and autotest for EDCL

Hogan, Thomas Brendan (University of Limerick, Department of Education and Professional Studies, 2009)

The IT 2000 initiative kick started the drive to incorporate ICT into teaching and learning in the Irish education system. In the secondary sector, in particular, the availability of suitable software programmes has been ...
Between the idea and the reality falls the shadow

Hogan, Jennifer (School of Architecture, University of Limerick, 2015)

The aim of this thesis was to thoroughly immerse myself into the liminal space that lingers between our initial thoughts and realised visions. The shadow, as it were, was the elusive subject I have chased since my ...
Beyond the commons : the expansion of the Irish Music Rights Organisation, the elimination of uncertainty, and the politics of enclosure

McCann, Anthony Thomas (University of Limerick, 2002)
Beyond the tissue: the relationship between structure, function, and pain in Achilles tendinopathy

McAuliffe, Seán (University of Limerick, 2017)

Introduction: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a highly prevalent, disabling and oftenpersistent musculoskeletal complaint, commonly affecting athletic and non-athletic populations. To date, attempts to explain the ...
Biochemical, biophysical and electrophysiological characterisation of the recombinant voltage-gated sodium channel from the marine bacterium Maricaulis Maris MCS10

Wianecka, Magdalena Teresa (University of Limerick, 2011)

The eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel Nav is an integral membrane protein that transports sodium across the cell membrane. While the Nav has a four-domain structure with six α-helical transmembrane segments in each ...
Bioenergetics at extreme temperature: structural and functional studies of complexes II and IV of Thermus thermophilus

Noor, Mohamed R. (University of Limerick, 2012)

While abundantly evident that thermophilic organisms are adapted to grow at high temperatures, the exact thermoadaptation mechanisms are often very subtle. Various membrane-bound respiratory oxidases have been characterised ...
Biology by inquiry an invervention programme in Irish post primay schools

Ryan, Emma (University of Limerick, 2011)

The publication of ‗Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation‘ (2006) by the Irish Government and of ‗Task Force on the Physical Sciences‘ (2002) recognises the decline in the number of students taking up sciences ...
Biomechanical and computational investigation of the hip protector design and function

Madrecka, Aleksandra (University of Limerick, 2012)

and related hip fracture in the elderly population are a serious problem in health care. It is widely documented that prevention of hip fracture has the potential to improve the quality of life and substantially decrease ...
Biomechanical and modelling analysis of shaft length effects on golf driving performance

Kenny, Ian C. (University of Ulster, 2006)

The purpose of this thesis was to determine how shaft length affects golf driving performance. Shaft length effects on the golf swing have been of interest to several researchers (including Egret et al., 2003; Reyes and ...
The biomechanical specificity of running drills to sprint performance

Whelan, Niamh (University of Limerick, 2017)

Drills are considered important in the coaching of correct sprinting technique as they establish the optimal movement and coordination patterns of sprinting. However, there limited of research on the kinematics and muscle ...
Biosecurity, bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDv), and bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1): epidemiological investigations in Irish dairy herds

Sayers, Ríona (Regina) Geraldine (University of Limerick, 2014)

The fundamental basis of herd health planning and disease control is a science-based risk analysis. A disease risk analysis involves examining the probability of a disease occurring and the impact of that disease should ...
A blended learning teaching approach aimed at improving post-primary students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics – a focus on algebra supported by digital pencasts

Gallagher, Jason (University of Limerick, 2016)

This research project investigated whether students’ conceptual understanding of algebra was improved with a taught intervention supported by digital pencasts. The motivation for this project was inspired by observing ...
