A cross-cultural exploration of online community newcomer behaviour
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)As Internet use has become globally pervasive, the literature suggests that national culture is having an impact on online community communication practices. The importance of researching national culture in these spaces ... -
A cross-linguistic and cross-cultural investigation of Irish and Czech children's accounts of socially-constructed emotions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2003)The application of a discursive approach to the subject of this study can be seen as an attempt to create a link between psychology and linguistics, where grammatical structures and language itself constitute the basis for ... -
A delay and disruption tolerant transport layer protocol
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)The area of delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is concerned with highly challenged networks in which application layer "sessions" commonly lack contemporaneous end-toend connectivity. For example, efforts to create networks ... -
A dependency modelling approach for the management of ontology-based integration systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Ontology-based approaches that formally represent the meaning of information in a system, offer the hope of dealing with semantic heterogeneity when integrating heterogeneous data sources [Halevy 2001, Noy 2004, Wache et ... -
A diagnostic for the general linear model : an application to Time Series
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)An outlier is an observation which is thought to be unusual. The detection of such extreme values is an important issue. Developing a model based on data containing even a single outlier can seriously bias population ... -
A domain knowledge driven information uplift approach for network monitoring
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)With the advance of modern network technologies, people now enjoy increased convenience whilst occasionally suffering annoyance from network issues by lacking domain expertise. In the Home Area Network (HAN), these issues ... -
A dynamic study of cavity polaritons
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2002)Strong coupling between an atom and a cavity field is a well established phenomenon in the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics. However it was not until 1992 that improvements in growth technology resulted in the advent ... -
A dynamic study of the characteristics, predictive power and profitable opportunities underlying takeover prediction models : evidence from the UK and the USA
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Trinity Business School, 2010)Takeover prediction models can be defined as a cross-sectional regression using a firms corporate accounting information in order to measure its likelihood of becoming an acquisition target. Given the theoretical and ... -
A dynamical study of the chirally rotated Schrödinger functional in lattice QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2015)In this work, we present first results from dynamical simulations of the chirally rotated Schrödinger functional (SF) in lattice QCD. More specifically, we discuss the determination of renormalization constants of ... -
A feminist reading of the mother-daughter relationship in Gabrielle Roy and Francine Noël
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of French, 2008)This thesis proposes a feminist reading of the mother-daughter relationship in the writings of Gabrielle Roy and Francine Noel. The texts discussed have been selected due to their feminist nature and to the importance that ... -
A flexible explanation system for case-based reasoning
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Artificial Intelligence systems have reached a level of sophistication and accuracy which means that they can now be confidently used as decision aids in real world situations. However, although these systems are accurate, ... -
A flexible framework for distributed shared objects
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)A distributed shared memory (DSM) system ensures the consistency of shared data in a distributed system while providing the programming paradigm of a single-processor system. Recent DSM systems provide increasingly more ... -
A formula for fluency? : an investigation into the effect of instruction in formulaic sequences on oral fluency in Irish
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Centre for Language and Communication Studies, 2015)The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a programme of instruction on oral fluency in Irish. The programme design was informed by a focus on formulaic language and by the use of procedures designed ... -
A formulation of discrete differential geometry applied to fermionic lattice field theory and its implications for chiral symmetry
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2008)In this thesis, we develop the Geometric Discretization formulation of Dirac-Kahler fermions. We note that the naive definition of chiral synnnetry is only approximately captured in the formulation. However, we show that ... -
A forward advancing wave expansion method for numerical solution of large-scale sound propagation problems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)The study of atmospheric somid propagation has become an important subject since noise polhition problems emerged as a highly relevant matter in several areas such as sociology, economics, regulations and standards. Modelling ... -
