Hadron Scattering Amplitudes from Lattice QCD
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2023)In this thesis we compute hadron scattering amplitudes within the framework of lattice quantum chromodynamics. Finite-volume spectra are computed using distillation and the variational method. These spectra constrain ... -
Haemodynamic stroke and transient ischaemic attack secondary to neurocardiovascular instability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2014)Introduction: Presyncope or syncope are regarded as benign conditions.
