Costume and Practice: Evolution in Design and Use of the Chancellor's and Pro-Chancellor's Robes at the University of Dublin, Trinity College (1800-2020)
(2023)The University of Dublin is the degree-awarding body for Trinity College, Dublin and maintains a long tradition of academic dress and ceremonial. Commencements are formal meetings of the Senate chaired by the Chancellor ... -
Secondary messenger signalling influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa adaptation to sinus and lung environments
(2024)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a cause of chronic respiratory tract infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF), non-CF bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Prolonged infection allows the accumulation ... -
Power and agency: a critical analysis of the role of mistresses in francophone African literature
(2024)In the context of postcolonial literature, mistresses are often portrayed as subjugated concubines seeking job opportunities, career advancement, and income security in societies that are characterised by stark social ... -
Corrosion fatigue analysis of NREL's 15-MW offshore wind turbine with time-varying stress concentration factors
(2024)Over the last twenty years, significant development in wind turbine technologies has led to a dramatic increase in the scale of wind turbines with many now beginning to be installed in offshore locations. Consequently, ... -
Estimating the performance of wind turbines misaligned with respect to the wind direction using a simplified CFD based approach
(2024)Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the power extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change in wind direction impacts the wake pattern which in ... -
Back to the future: Comparing Yeast as an outmoded artificial Tracer for simulating microbial transport in Karst aquifer systems to more modern approachs
(2024)Bacterial contamination of karst groundwater is a major concern for public health. Artificial tracing studies are crucial for establishing links between locations where pollutants can rapidly reach the aquifer systems ... -
Investigation of the surrogate model in an ANN-Meanline Hybrid model for Radial Turbine Performance Prediction
(2024)The ability to efficiently optimise the charging system as part of the complete powertrain for a given duty is attracting significant research interest. A hybrid meanline model integrating Artificial Neural Networks as ... -
An Emerging Role for Type I Interferons as Critical Regulators of Blood Coagulation
(2023)Type I interferons (IFNs) are central mediators of anti-viral and anti-bacterial host defence. Detection of microbes by innate immune cells via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and ... -
Challenges to Demonstrating Efficacy When Translating Microwave Diagnostic Devices
(2023)Microwave interactions with biological tissues have been proposed and examined for medical diagnostics for over forty years, yet despite substantial academic and industrial interest, very few diagnostic devices are in ... -
A socio-technical systems analysis of the application of RFID-enabled technology to the transport of precious laboratory samples in a large acute teaching hospital
(2022)The scale and pace of improvement in patient safety in healthcare has been unacceptably slow. A paucity of research into the application of systems-thinking concepts and a failure to appreciate health systems complexity ... -
Sounding Beckett: a practitioner’s perspective
(2023)This article discusses theatre sound design through the lens of a practitioner-researcher. What follows is a reflection on the process, context and significance of this practice within theatre arts. Initially touching on ... -
Patient Portal for Young People and Children with Hydrocephalus: Scoping Review & Stakeholder Consultation
(Trinity College Dublin, 2023)The new Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) Hospital will be completely digital with an electronic health record (EHR) and integrated patient portal procured to date. Patient portals provide direct access for health service ... -
Validation of Acceleration Response Modelling for Modular High Rise Structures through Full Scale Monitoring
(2023)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. The application of modular construction methods ... -
Improved fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbine towers with tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on earth. FOWTs are very flexible and dynamically sensitive, they are also installed in very harsh environments and exposed to stochastic ... -
Observer based pitch control for load mitigation and power regulation of floating offshore wind turbines
Most commercial wind turbines use proportional-integral (PI) collective blade- pitch control to regulate rotor speed in the above-rated wind speed regime. A significant drawback of this type of controller is that it ... -
Automated Audio Time Alignment for Multi-Microphone Setups- An Open-Source Approach
(IEEE, 2023)This study investigates audio time alignment in postproduction, examining the impact of phase shifts between signals from multiple microphones. We quantify these effects and evaluate if post-production temporal realignment ... -
The Babadook, maternal gothic, and the 'woman's horror film'
(Routledge, 2019)Like many Australian films, The Babadook (Jennifer Kent, 2014) initially fared far better overseas than it did at home. Arguably, this can be attributed to several factors that apply to Australian cinema as a whole: ... -
Clinicoradiological outcomes after radical radiotherapy for lung cancer in patients with interstitial lung disease.
(2023)Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is relatively common in patients with lung cancer with an incidence of 7.5%. Historically pre-existing ILD was a contraindication to radical radiotherapy owing to increased radiation ... -
As Camp as a Row of Pink Tents: Stephen's Portrait of Mr W. S.
(2024)In the ‘Scylla and Charybdis’ episode of Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus presents a theory about Shakespeare’s biographical motivations for writing Hamlet, which he ultimately claims, perhaps disingenuously, to not believe. ... -
Barriers and Enablers for Adolescents Accessing Substance-Use Treatment: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis
(2024)Substance use is a persistent concern for adolescents in many countries due to the significant negative impact on mental, physical and social outcomes. US research indicates that while 4.1% of 12–17-year-olds require ...
