Institutional influences on social enterprise types in the Republic of Ireland
(2023)Extensive research over the past twenty years explains and documents different approaches to and examples of social enterprise across the world. One line of research analyses the institutional ... -
Effects of Interpatient Variance on Microwave Breast Images: Experimental Evaluation
(IEEE, 2018)Microwave breast imaging has seen significant developments in recent years, including new clinical trials and formation of a number of spin-out companies. Although many algorithms for microwave breast imaging have been ... -
Evaluation of Experimental Microwave Radar-Based Images: Evaluation Criteria
(IEEE, 2018)Microwave imaging has seen an increasing amount of clinical trials in the last two years, including ongoing and planned commercial development. The rapidly increasing number of studies with patient imaging is encouraging ... -
Advantages and Disadvantages of Parameter Search Algorithms for Permittivity Estimation for Microwave Breast Imaging
(IEEE, 2019)Multiple clinical investigations of radar-based breast imaging devices have been demonstrated in recent years, including two competing commercial systems which are currently being tested in clinics. Ongoing trials include ... -
Estimating Average Dielectric Properties for Microwave Breast Imaging Using Focal Quality Metrics
(2016)Confocal Microwave Imaging algorithms synthetically focus backscattered radar signals to create an image of the breast. Spatial focusing is achieved by delaying the received signals by the round-trip propagation delay to ... -
Capture heats up sharks
(2022)Catch-and-release fishing is an important component of ecotourism industries and scientific research worldwide, but its total impact on animal physiology, health and survival is understudied for many species of fishes, ... -
Inverse material parameter estimation of patient-specific finite element models at the carotid bifurcation: The impact of excluding the zero-pressure configuration and residual stress
(Wiley, 2023)The carotid bifurcation experiences a complex loading environment due to its anatomical structure. Previous in-vivo material parameter estimation methods often use simplified model geometries, isotropic hyperelastic ... -
Ex Vivo Study Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging to Identify Biomarkers of Atherosclerotic Disease in Human Cadaveric Carotid Arteries
(2022)Background: This study aims to address the potential of ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging to provide insight into the microstructural composition and morphological arrangement of aged human atherosclerotic carotid ... -
Microstructural and mechanical insight into atherosclerotic plaques: an ex vivo DTI study to better assess plaque vulnerability
(2023)Non-invasive microstructural characterisation has the potential to determine the stability, or lack thereof, of atherosclerotic plaques and ultimately aid in better assessing plaques’ risk to rupture. If linked with ... -
Population age structure and secular stagnation: Evidence from long run data
(2023)A large literature has reopened the secular stagnation hypothesis, first proposed near the end of the great depression as a warning for anemic growth resulting from long run trends in population aging. In this paper, I ... -
How Subsistence Communities Reconfigure Livelihood Systems in Response to Climate Change: A Coupled-Systems Perspective
(2022)A defining societal challenge in the era of climate change is ensuring consumption adequacy in subsistence communities. To understand the intricacies of this challenge, we have conducted an ethnographic study of a low-income ... -
Endothermy makes fishes faster but does not expand their thermal niche
(Functional Ecology, 2021-06-30)Regional endothermy has evolved several times in marine fishes, and two competing hypotheses are generally proposed to explain the evolutionary drivers behind this trait: thermal niche expansion and elevated cruising speeds. ... -
Okay Boomer... Excess Money Growth, Inflation, and Population Aging
(2022)What determines the strength of the relationship between money growth and inflation? A large literature suggests that it has weakened since the 1980s, without a definitive explanation of the cause. I explore how population ... -
The Age for Austerity? Population Age Structure and Fiscal Consolidation Multipliers
(2022)Advanced economies face two important trends: population aging and rising debt. In the coming years, it will be critical to understand how policies undertaken by governments interact with their changing age structures. In ... -
Online-to-Offline Platforms: Examining the Effects of Demand-Side Usage on Supply-Side Decisions.
(2023)This study explores the impact of demand-side usage of digital platforms on operational decision-making by supply-side firms. The positive impact of digital platforms on product sales is established in the literature. ... -
Social Media Platforms and User Engagement: A Multi-Platform Study on One-way Firm Sustainability Communication.
(2024)There have been multiple research studies in recent days that have analyzed the growing role of social media in firms’ communication strategy as well as the role of social media in shaping a firm’s reputation. However, ... -
Analytical Framework and Student Perceptions: Assessing the Quality of Doctoral Education in Accounting in Ireland.
(2019)To examine the quality of doctoral education in accounting in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ireland, we develop an analytical framework from the relevant literature and the principles of quality doctoral education ... -
Characterising the Blood Pressure Response to Physical Counterpressure Manoeuvres Using Surface Electromyography in Adults with Long Covid
(2023)Objective: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is common in Long Covid. Physical counterpressure manoeuvres (PCM) may improve OI in other disorders. We characterised the blood pressure-rising effect of PCM using surface ... -
Contribution of the glottal flow residual in affect related voice transformation
(2022)This paper explores the contribution of the glottal flow residual in affect-related voice transformation. This signal, which is defined as the difference between the output of the inverse filter estimating the glottal flow ...
