This thesis describes the synthesis of Si, Ge and Si-Ge axial heterostructure nanowires and nanorods through the use of two solution synthesis based approaches. These nanostructures are catalysed by low solubility catalysts ...
In recent years, the merits of low-volume, high-intensity training (HIT) programmes versus more traditional high-volume, low-intensity training (HVT) programmes has become a widely debated topic in competitive swimming. ...
The mental healthcare of prisoners is seen as a public health challenge internationally.
Emerging research has highlighted higher rates of mental illness and intellectual disabilities
in prisons as compared to general ...
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a constellation of clinical features largely seen in
adolescence and young adults. It is typified by pharyngitis, prominent cervical
lymphadenopathy and high fevers. It therefore can be ...
Increasing physical activity (PA) through exercise is associated with improvements in
many of the symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) such as fatigue,
strength, balance and mobility. Despite this, people ...

This study was designed to examine the pre-operative counselling experiences of patients undergoing a total laryngectomy (complete removal of the larynx) for treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC), together with their ...
The world has entered what has become known as the fourth industrial revolution. Technological advancements in ICT and automation including IoT, cloud computing and smart robotics have changed industrial manufacturing ...
The study of protein adsorption on surfaces is becoming an increasingly important topic for research since it plays a crucial role in a variety of biomedical and biotechnological applications, biomaterials and cell biology ...
Precision instruments using mixed signal devices such as analog to digital converters (ADCs), digital to analog converters (DACs) and frequency synthesisers are sensitive to power supply noise and ripple associated with ...
Rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain, and can result in significant and prolonged pain and disability in adults. Surgical interventions to treat RC tendinopathy are costly and invasive, with ...
Porous silicon finds numerous applications in the areas of bio-technology, drug delivery, energetic
materials and catalysis. Vesta Sciences (US Research Company) have led the development of
porous silicon nanosponge ...
The overall objective of this project was to provide fundamental information about
the nature and the associations of the organic matter (OM) in two representative Irish
grassland soils; Clonakilty, a well drained Brown ...
Substance use, and substance use disorders (SUD), are major contributors to global burden of disease among youth. They constitute an important risk factor for other disorders, including mental disorders. This thesis seeks ...
O'Donoghue, Bernadette(University of Limerick, 2018)
This study examines the readiness of pre-service teachers of mathematics to implement reforms in post-primary education and mathematics education, coined by the author as Literacy and Numeracy for Mathematics Teaching in ...
Despite the apparent prioritisation of the educational needs of young people from low socio economic status (SES) backgrounds, the uptake of Science subjects in DEIS schools remains significantly lower than the national ...
Rain erosion of leading edges of wind turbine blades is caused by repeated high speed liquid droplet impacts, which provokes damage in the form of pitting or peeling over time and can lead to a signi cant reduction in ...
This study investigates the combined effect of three Additive Manufacturing (AM)
build orientations (0° , 45° , and 90° ) and an extensive array of heat-treatment plans
on the plastic anisotropy of EOS maraging steel 300 ...
