Over the last few years, increasing attention has been paid to the research field of
remote detection of human electrophysiological and other bio-activity related signals.
Such an interest is mainly due to a growing need ...
Three analogues of the SIFSIX-3-M family, namely SIFSIX-3-Zn, SIFSIX-3-Ni, and SIFSIX-3-Cu were investigated using theoretical methods to determine the effect of pore-size and pore-chemistry on the adsorption of CO2 in ...

Protein adsorption at interfaces has significant importance in the development of
materials for applications such as medical devices and biosensors. In this study targeted
protein adsorption is investigated. Hydroxyapatite ...
The increasing demand for composite materials has meant that there is a need to develop out-of-autoclave (OOA) manufacturing processes that can produce cost-effective high-quality components. Autoclaves cannot meet the ...
The increasing use of fibrous composite materials in the automotive and aerospace industries
has led to increased demand for predictive analysis tools that require careful
measurement of the fibre and matrix constituent ...
The valorisation of readily available and abundant lignocellulosic derived hexose carbohydrates by reaction with ethanol can provide an alternative to petroleum derived fossil fuels. The main barrier in effectively doing ...

The use of catalysts generally requires the immobilisation of the catalyst at specific locations, a requirement that can pose a significant challenge. The use of mesoporous silicate materials as supports offers some valuable ...
This thesis charts the changing transmission processes in Irish traditional
music through the medium of the Internet, and documents the emergence of a
virtual orality within this arena of transmission. It accomplishes ...
My dance practice research examines and reflects on what I experience as a deep
symbiotic relationship between the body-mind and environment, through the creation of
two original choreographic works. This mixed-mode ...

Through the theoretical lenses of agency, autonomy, resistance, and resilience, this
ethnographic study reveals how professional musicians and cultural workers
experience the neoliberalisation of cultural production in ...
This study, one of the few academic analyses of the socio-cultural aspects of
contemporary competitive clogging, briefly summarises the history of group clogging
from its rural beginnings in the Southeastern Appalachian ...
