• Characterisation of the fundamental function(s) of bovine serum albumin in the culture of NS0 cells 

  McNamara, Liam (University of Limerick, 2016)

  The large-scale production of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is commonly carried out using NS0 cells, which are a cholesterol deficient mouse myeloma cell line. The non-ionic surfactant Pluronic F-68 is routinely ...
• Development of heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen production from biomass derived formic acid 

  Zacharska, Monika (University of Limerick, 2017)

  Hydrogen is increasingly used in a variety of applications and holds promise as a replacement for fossil fuels. Biomass derived formic acid represents an excellent renewable material for hydrogen storage. This thesis is ...
• Piezoelectricity in the globular protein lysozyme 

  Stapleton, Aimee (University of Limerick, 2017)

  Piezoelectricity is a particular type of electromechanical coupling in which a mechanical stress induces an electrical polarisation in materials that have a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. A converse piezoelectric ...
• Perspectives on the problem of alternative conceptions 

  Sheehan, Muireann (University of Limerick, 2017)

  Alternative conceptions present an ongoing problem that has proven difficult to address. Much research into the alternative conceptions of various groups of learners, including preservice science teachers (PSSTs), has ...
• Dynamics of behaviour and information diffusion on complex networks: analytical and empirical perspectives 

  O'Sullivan, David J.P. (University of Limerick, 2017)
