• Development of a sizing equation for a multi-stage choke valve trim 

  Grace, Andrew (University of Limerick, 2011)

  Choke valves are used to regulate the pressure from natural gas reservoirs. Traditional choke valves control the reservoir pressure drop using a single variable orifice. At choked flow conditions a shock wave forms in ...
• Enhancing digital control for DC/DC converters 

  Effler, Simon (University of Limerick, 2010)

  The continuing trend in switched-mode power supplies clearly leads to the delivery of more output power with an ever increasing number of voltages more efficiently at less cost. Increasing power management requirements, ...
• Investigating the effectiveness of breast cancer teams in Ireland: the role of interprofessional team processes 

  Droog, Elsa Marie (University of Limerick, 2011)

  While there is sufficient research evidence to suggest that a multidisciplinary team approach improves the outcomes of patients, specifically those with breast cancer, limited attention has examined the extent to which ...
• Continuous flow digital PCR for absolute quantification of nucleic acids 

  Dalton, Mark A (University of Limerick, 2012)

• Institutional and social teaching, learning and performing of Irish traditional music in Ennis, County Clare 1961-1980 

  Cotter, Geraldine (University of Limerick, 2013)

  Ennis, County Clare in the west of Ireland, is now considered to be one of the principal strongholds of traditional Irish music practice in the world. During the 1970s, traditional music practice became a ‘living tradition’, ...
• Design and optimisation of the impulse turbine with an internal variable-pitch controlled guide vane system using computational fluid dynamics and experimental analysis 

  Cashman, Patrick Andrew (University of Limerick, 2012)

  Following a review of previous research on wave power conversion, it is evident that Oscillating Water Columns are one of the few devices to successfully convert wave power to electrical power at a commercial stage. ...
• Single and multiple crack growth in orthotropic composite laminae : a numerical and experimental investigation 

  Cahill, Lisa (University of Limerick, 2013)

  The standard Finite Element Method (FEM) has been successfully employed for many decades in modelling. However, the method can be found, in cases, to be insufficient for accurate, efficient modelling of discontinuities, ...
• Attentional focus during endurance activity 

  Brick, Noel (University of Limerick, 2016)

  Attention involves not only a focus on objects or locations, but also on various thoughts or activities. During endurance activity, attention allocation has traditionally been viewed as a focus either on sensory information ...
• A study of political risk selection and pricing among private insurance providers: a mixed methods approach 

  Baublyte, Lijana (University of Limerick, 2012)

  This study demonstrates that the basis of decision-making and risk-pricing in the UK Political Risk Insurance (PRI) market is a combination of Art and Science, with factors such as trust and reputation playing an important ...
• Development of heterogeneous catalysts for butyl butyrate production 

  Severini, Francesco; Kwapinski, Witold; Leahy, J.J (University of Limerick, 2016)

  Butyl butyrate is an environmentally friendly biofuel component that can be produced through the esterification of butyric acid with n-butanol, both of which are obtainable from waste products with a two-step fermentation ...
• Greenhouse gas emissions from rewetted peatland forests 

  Rigney, Caitlin (University of Limerick, 2016)

  Natural peatlands are important sinks of carbon (C) and vital in the global C cycle. Despite covering just 3% of the earth’s land mass, they store as much C as all terrestrial biomass. Drainage for forestry alters the ...
• The catalytic hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol 

  O'Driscoll, Áine (University of Limerick, 2016)

  The production of energy and chemicals from renewable resources has gained significant attention as the global effort and legislated requirements to transition from fossil fuels to biofuels intensifies. The synthesis of ...
• Supporting discourse using technology-mediated communication: a model for enhancing practice in second level education 

  O'Connor, Adrian (Uiversityof Limerick, 2016)

  Despite the pervasiveness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in our daily lives, such technology has not been as widely adopted in formal education. When ICT is used within the classroom, its impact on pupil ...
• The application of data analysis methods for surface electromyography in shot putting and sprinting 

  Howard, Róisín Marie (University of Limerick, 2016)

  Muscles are the key drivers in any human movement. Since the muscles generate the forces and consequently the impulses to move the athlete from one position to another, it can be useful to study the muscle activity during ...
