Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a public health challenge in Ireland and pose a patient safety risk. The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Grampositive organisms, such as methicillin-resistant ...
The impact of visual field loss on activities of daily living performance among adults with acute stroke: a prospective cohort study

Garcia, Christian (University of Limerick, 2019)

Background: Visual field loss (VFL) is the most common visual problem following a stroke, occurring in as many as 49%. Studies have highlighted the negative impact of VFL on driving, mobility and reading with less attention ...
The implementation of an intervention programme to increase students’ interest in science in DEIS schools

Prior, Samantha (University of Limerick, 2018)

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 ...
Influence of a physical constraint combined with uphill quenching on residual stresses in 7000 series aluminium alloys

de Montmorency Sutherland, Luke (University of Limerick, 2020)

When quenching heat treatable aluminium alloys, the interior of a sample cools at a different rate than that of the surface. Post quench this usually forms a triaxial tensile stress in the interior and a biaxial compressive ...
An InfoStations-based intelligent messaging system

Noonan, Paul (University of Limerick, 2013)

An active dialogue between all the members of a university community is a vital part of the education process. A campus wide communications system, which allows lecturers and students to communicate through multiple ...
Inkjet printing of silver and carbon conductive functional coatings

Nash, Cian (University of Limerick, 2015)

The direct inkjet printing of conductive silver and/or carbon suspension inks on flexible substrates is a promising route for the direct manufacture of printed and functional electronics. In this thesis silver flake inks ...
Inspection of concurrent systems: combining tables, theorem proving and model checking

Pantelic, Vera (2006)

A process for rigorous inspection of concurrent systems using tabular specification was developed and applied to the classic Readers/Writers concurrent program by Jin in [15]. The process involved rewriting the program ...
Integrating coupled magnetics in a two-stage LC low pass filter for low ripple power supply applications

Limjoco, Aldrick S. (University of Limerick, 2020)

Electrical noise sensitive systems using mixed signal devices such as data converters and transceivers are prone to performance degradation due to switching regulator output ripple. Often switching regulator is used as ...
Internet performance profiling of countries and destinations

Todorov, Nikolay (University of Limerick, 2014)

The thesis presents research into data capturing techniques and data analysis in order to discern the Internet performance profiles of countries, both spatially and temporally. The methodology may be described as implementing ...
Intrinsic risk factors for groin and hip injuries among academy level rugby union players: systematic review and prospective cohort study

Ryan, Julianne M. (University of Limerick, 2012)

This thesis consists of three papers taking a sequential approach to the problem of groin/ hip injury in rugby union (RU). Firstly the literature surrounding the identification of groin/ hip injury risk factors in field ...
Introducing extra bicarbonate transporters bicA and sbtA in the cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for enhanced ethanol production

O'Riordan, Helen (University of Limerick, 2018)

The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a model organism for genetic manipulation. Utilising genetically engineered cyanobacteria to produce ethanol offers significant potential as a renewable and sustainable ...
Investigating for an association between delirium and autonomic impairment

Shanahan, Elaine A.M. (University of Limerick, 2019)

Delirium is a common syndrome amongst acutely unwell older adults. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet it remains poorly researched in the literature. Several theories have been proposed to ...
Investigating the use of adventure education in fostering social skill development in students with autistic spectrum disorder

Neylon, Jack (University of Limerick, 2019)

Social skill deficits are mentioned as a common feature of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) (Task Force on Autism, 2001). There is, however, a distinct lack of evidence-based programmes to help foster social skills amongst ...
Investigation and development of a hypervisor-based security architecture utilising a state-of-the-art hardware trust anchor

Schramm, Martin (University of Limerick, 2011)

Trusted Computing is a relatively new approach to computer security in which a system should be permanently maintained in a well-defined state - and therefore it will reside in a trustworthy state. The word "trustworthy" ...
Investigation and development of energy saving techniques for modern x86 platforms: with a special emphasis on embedded environments

Heffernan, Donal; Plaga, Sven (University of Limerick, Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, 2010)

In recent times there is a growing emphasis on energy saving solutions for processor-based systems of all types, and there is a particular emphasis on energy-saving solutions to sustain battery life in portable and remote ...
An investigation into the behaviour of thick pin-loaded joints under a bearing load

Stritch, Thomas Patrick (University of Limerick, 2014)

The behaviour of a thick pin-loaded lug was investigated when subjected to a bearing load using the embedded strain gauge technique and finite element analysis. The embedded strain gauge technique was extended to the ...
An investigation into the effects of a health and training intervention on the safety climate of an organisation

Connolly, Alan (University of Limerick, 2011)

In the early hours of the morning of Saturday, 14th February 1981, a disastrous fire swept through an Irish discotheque called ‘The Stardust’ in the north Dublin suburb of Artane. Forty-eight people were killed and one ...
