Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy
(2022)The revitalisation of the global economy after the Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with the opportunity to reinforce the need for a change in paradigm towards a green, circular economy and to promote ... -
Longitudinal study on Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART): clustering approach for mobility and cognitive decline
(2022)The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) is a computer-based go/no-go task to measure neurocognitive function in older adults. However, simplified average features of this complex dataset lead to loss of primary ... -
Predictors of submaximal exercise test attainment in adults reporting long COVID symptoms
(2022)Adults with long COVID often report intolerance to exercise. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been used in many settings to measure exercise ability but has been conducted in a few long COVID cohorts. We conducted ... -
Clinical applications of speech synthesis

Predicting tensorial molecular properties with equivariant machine learning models
(American Physical Society (APS), 2022)Embedding molecular symmetries into machine-learning models is key for efficient learning of chemico-physical scalar properties, but little evidence on how to extend the same strategy to tensorial quantities exists. Here ... -
Back to the Present: How Not to Use Counterfactuals to Explain Causal Asymmetry
(2022)A plausible thought is that we should evaluate counterfactuals in the actual world by holding the present ‘fixed’; the state of the counterfactual world at the time of the antecedent, outside the area of the antecedent, ... -
Post-operative management of flexor tendon injuries at zone II and flexor Pollicis Longus - a survey of Irish practice
(2021)Purpose The post-operative management of flexor tendon injuries has been the focus of considerable exploration and there continues to be variation in approaches and methods of mobilisation. The purpose of this paper is ... -
Experimental and computational evaluation of modal identification techniques for structural damping estimation
(2022)The damping ratio is a key indicator of a structures susceptability to human discomfort due to dynamic loads. Computational models, wind tunnel studies and empirical data can provide estimates of the damping ratio of a ... -
Special issue: Optical Characterizations of Novel Composite and Optically Active Materials. Editorial
(2020)Market pressures have placed new demands on modern photonic and opto-electronic materials, including requirements for miniaturization, higher efficiency, tunable and controllable optical and electrical properties, and ... -
Electrospun Fibres of Chitosan/PVP for the effective chemotherapeutic drug delivery of 5-Fluorouracil
(2021)Electrospun nanofibrous mats consisting of chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were constructed. Tuning of solution and process parameters was performed and resulted in an electrospun system containing a 6:4 ... -
Concentration-dependent fluorescence emission of quercetin
(2021)Quercetin (Q) is an important antioxidant with high bioactivity and the potential of being used as SARS-CoV-2 inhibitor. The fluorescence (FL) emission from Q solutions made with different polar and non-polar solvents ... -
Time-resolved high-dynamic-range particle image velocimetry using local uncertainty estimation
(2015)The dynamic velocity range of particle image velocimetry is the ratio of the maximum to the minimum resolvable displacement. Although many techniques have been developed in recent years to extend the dynamic range, flows ... -
Compact MIMO Antenna for MUSIC-Based Angle of Arrival Estimation in Wrist-Worn Devices
(IEEE, 2022)In this work, we propose a compact Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna for wrist-worn devices. The design is capable of unidirectional beamsteering across the entire horizontal plane, a property that is exploited ... -
Compact Stacked-Patch Antenna for Directional Modulation in Azimuth and Elevation Planes
(IEEE, 2022)This work proposes a compact stacked-patch antenna capable of beamsteering in the vertical and horizontal directions. These characteristics are studied to realize directional modulation (DM) schemes in the vertical and ... -
Customer engagement strategies in retail electricity markets: A comprehensive and comparative review
(2022)Retail electricity markets require development to ensure efficient and equitable pass through of wholesale electricity costs to customers. Customer engagement has been heralded as a concept to improve the wholesale-to-retail ... -
The Acceptability and Initial Effectiveness of ?Space from Money Worries?: An Online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Intervention to Tackle the Link Between Financial Difficulties and Poor Mental Health.
(2022)Background: Previous research has shown a strong relationship between financial difficulties and mental health problems. Psychological factors such as hope and worry about finances appear to be an important factor in ... -
Investigating the potential of a novel Internet-based cognitive behavioural intervention for Dari and Farsi speaking refugee youth: a feasibility study
(2022)Objective: Over half of the world's forcibly displaced persons are under the age of 25, with many suffering from symptoms of psychological disorders. Many refugees from Afghanistan or Iran speak either Dari or Farsi, which ... -
Estimating cost-effectiveness using alternative preference-based scores and within-trial methods: exploring the dynamics of the QALY using the EQ-5D-5L and ReQoL-UI
(2022)Objectives: This study aimed to explore quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) and subsequent cost-effectiveness estimates based on the more physical health–focused EQ-5D 5-level version (EQ-5D-5L) value set for England or ... -
Financialisation, regional economic development and the coronavirus crisis: a time for spatial monetary policy?
(2021)This paper argues that ‘spatial monetary policy’ may be needed to achieve more territorially balanced economic development. Central banks have been key in fostering financialised economies while also preventing their ... -
Sestrin family - the stem controlling healthy ageing
(2020)Sestrins are a family of stress-responsive antioxidant proteins responsible for regulation of cell viability and metabolism. The best known Sestrin targets are mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases that control different cellular ...
