Tailored adsorption of enzymes onto mesoporous silicates

Gaffney, Darragh (University of Limerick, 2010)

The objective of this research is to synthesise mesoporous silicates, incorporate metal complexes on to the surface of the silicates post synthesis and utilise these materials for the immobilisation of histidine-tagged ...
Tailored adsorption of enzymes onto mesoporous silicates.

O'Neill, Sarah (University of Limerick, 2011)

Enzymes often display high regio- and chemoselectivity and therefore are of great interest for industrial processes. However, in these processes, they can show low stability and are not reusable. Immobilisation can ...
The target English/es used by EFL teachers from Ireland: current trends and perspectives

Farrell, Angela (University of Limerick, 2017)

This research is undertaken against the backdrop of changing trends and perspectives surrounding spoken English, and growing calls for target model reform in the English language teaching (ELT) world. Its primary aim is ...
Targeted protein adsorption on the surface of biomaterials

Alvarez, Marcela Salazar (University of Limerick, 2016)

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 ...
Taxes, organisations and decisions fiduciary tax compliance in two modern economies

Keegan, Brian (University of Limerick, 2017)

An analysis of tax receipts in two jurisdictions, Ireland and the United Kingdom, points to the significance of fiduciary tax collection usually carried out by organisations. This research seeks to establish if the factors ...
Teacher and guidance counsellor perceptions of the value of the transition year programme in promoting the personal and social, educational and career development of students and the role of the subject teacher, the guidance counsellor and management in this regard; an exploratory study in one post primary school.

McAuliffe, Máirín (University of Limerick, 2020)

A number of in-depth research studies have been undertaken to date which explore many aspects of Transition Year from numerous different perspectives (Smyth et al. 2004; ISSU 2014; Jeffers 2007; Jeffers 2010). Significant ...
Teacher responses to inquiry-based pedagogy in Irish post-primary schools : case studies on the use of a virtual chemistry laboratory as a vehicle for educational change.

Donnelly, Dermot (University of Limerick, 2011)

The lack of uptake of science subjects in Post-Primary Schools (Secondary/High Schools) and on to university is a continuous cause for concern, both nationally and internationally. In the Strategy for Science, Technology ...
Teachers as overseas volunteer teacher educators: a case study of Global Schoolroom as a professional encounter

Liddy, Margaret (University of Limerick, 2015)

The study sought to address how volunteer teacher educators translate their overseas experience into their understanding of global development and their professional knowledge and practice in the context of a professional ...
Teaching English vocabulary via digital games to 3rd level Saudi male students: issues and attitudes

Alsayegh, Abdulaziz Abdullah (University of Limerick, 2016)

The integration of technology into educational contexts typically presents its own challenges. The integration of technology into conservative and culturally-sensitive educational contexts presents its own specific and ...
Technology and raw material quality to underpin the Irish fresh-cut fruit industry

Finnegan, Elizabeth M. (University of Limerick, 2014)

The objective of this thesis was to contribute to improving the quality of fresh-cut fruits by identifying how raw material use, processing, packaging and storage might be optimised. Effects of intrinsic and extrinsic ...
Technology supported, self-directed learning: an investigation of blended learning and online assessment on a pre-service teacher education

Scanlon, Greg (University of Limerick, Department of Education & Professional Studies, 2010)

Techologically-mediated nomadicity in academic settings: Tm-N as a dynamic and emergent process

Pinatti de Carvalho, Aparecido Fabiano (University of Limerick, 2013)

This thesis provides a detailed account of the nomadic lives of a cohort of knowledge workers and explores the ways in which they are mediated by computer technologies. Although increasing attention has been paid to the ...
Theoretical investigation of the effect of subtle structural dynamics on CO2 sorption in TIFSIX-3-Ni, a hybrid ultramicroporous material (HUM)

Mulcair, Meagan (University of Limerick, 2017)

The release of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere is a leading contributor to global warming. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) strives to mitigate the effects of CO2 on the atmosphere, traditionally ...
Theoretical optimisation of pore size and pore chemistry of SIFSIX-3-M hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs)

Ziaee, Ahmad (University of Limerick, 2016)

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 ...
Theorising the constitution of subjects and the state through governmental citizenship : immigration regulation and the 2004 Irish citizenship referendum

Ni Chathain, Siobhan (University of Limerick, 2011)

This is an empirical investigation of the processes whereby the boundaries and meaning of citizenship are re-constituted through state-driven practices of regulating migrants and migrants’ responses to such practices. The ...
The thermal and hydrodynamic behaviour of submerged and confined, normally-impinging, laminar slot jets

Sexton, Andrew (University of Limerick, 2017)

Optical networks are a critical element of contemporary communications infrastructure, due to their efficacy in transmitting high-speed data over large distances. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) offer compelling ...
The thermal behaviour of segregated heat sink structures in natural convection

O'Flaherty, Kevin John (University of Limerick, 2017)

Remotely deployed wireless devices such as tower-top active antenna arrays, remote radio heads, and pico or femto-cells are an increasingly prevalent feature of communications systems. Environmental standards which govern ...
Thermal management of portable biomedical vaporisers

Kelly, Emma (University of Limerick, 2012)
