Machine Learned Compact Kinetic Models for Combustion
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2023)Chemical kinetic models are an essential component in the development and optimisation of combustion devices through their coupling to multi-dimensional simulations such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Due to the ... -
Machine Learning for Condensed Matter Physics
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2021)This thesis is about the application of machine learning (ML) methods to a variety of problems in condensed matter physics. As condensed matter physics has large computational and experimental datasets readily available - ... -
Machine Learning for Novel Ternary Materials Discovery
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)First principles codes based on DFT are now sufficiently accurate and efficient that they can be used in the design of novel materials with specifically selected properties. Doing so requires checking whether a compound ... -
Machine Learning For Plausible Gesture Generation From Speech For Virtual Humans
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2021)The growing use of virtual humans in an array of applications such as games, human-computer interfaces, and virtual reality demands the design of appealing and engaging characters, while minimizing the cost and time of ... -
Machine-learning approaches for the enhancement of 2D and 3D electron microscopy data
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2023)Electron microscopy allows academic and industrial users to investigate the structure and properties of a variety of materials. However, some limitations are imposed by the instrumentation and the nature of the analyzed ... -
Macroeconomic risk and international financial markets
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Economics, 2010)This thesis is composed of three essays addressing the use of financial markets to hedge or gain exposure to macroeconomic risk. The first essay examines the question of consumption risk sharing between countries. Theory ... -
Macroevolution with living and fossil species
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2015)Although many biodiversity studies focus on living species, the vast majority of species that ever lived are long extinct. It is therefore crucial to combine data from both living and fossil species to fully understand ... -
Macrophage immunometabolism in the host response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2017)Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease killer in the world, alongside HIV. Our understanding of the complex host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains incomplete, but varied clinical ... -
Macrophages are critical drivers of synovial inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2020)Macrophages are an exquisitely plastic pool of innate cells critically involved in directing the immune response in RA. Upon entry into the synovium, peripheral blood monocytes differentiate into the dichotomous M1 ... -
Maculate conceptions : Irish film and drama of the 1930s
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of English, 2005)In the 1930s Ireland grasped the opportunity to define itself as a modern free state and the decade is thus one of the most dynamic in Ireland’s history since Independence. Within the space of ten years, Fianna Fail came ... -
Magmatic differentiation and bimodality in oceanic island settings - implications for the petrogenesis of magma in Tenerife, Spain
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2010)The Tenerife post-Icod-collapse succession, comprised of the Teide-Pico Viejo central complex and its adjacent rift zones, marks the latest eruptive cycle on Tenerife (200-0 ka) that broadly evolved from primitive lavas ... -
Magnetic and transport properties of magnetite based nanostructures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2009)In this thesis, we investigate the magnetic and transport properties of magnetite based nanostructures. We in particular investigate the magnetization and surface Verwey transition of magnetite thin film, interlayer ... -
Magnetic barcodes in molecular medicine
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2010)The need for faster and more sensitive diagnostic systems for the early detection of many life-threatening diseases is the driving force behind the work in this thesis. A lab-on-a-chip prototype device incorporating a ... -
Magnetic Characteristics of Sunspot Groups and their Role in Producing Adverse Space Weather
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2019)The energy that powers solar flares is known to come from magnetic energy stored in sunspot groups, but the precise conditions required and processes involved in energy release remain unclear. The likelihood of ... -
Magnetic field effects on electrodeposition and the properties of electrodeposited nickel and nickel-copper
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2004)The association of magnetism and electrodeposition is studied from two separate perspectives. Firstly the effect of an applied magnetic field on the deposition process and secondly the production of magnetic materials by ... -
Magnetic field effects on the electrodeposition and electrodissolution of copper
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2001)The effect of a static magnetic field on the electrodeposition and electrodissolution of copper in acidified copper sulphate solution was investigated. The primary effect of the field was to increase the rate of mass ... -
Magnetic field effects on water and aqueous solutions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)Claims of magnetic field effects on water and their potential use in a microfluidic channel are explored. The pendant drop method is used to measure the surface tension, which is calculated from the shape of the drop. The ... -
Magnetic Fields and Accretion Processes in Young Stars: A case study of the classical T Tauri star DK Tau
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Low-mass young stars that are a few million years old and called classical T Tauri stars (cTTs) experience magnetospheric accretion. They are surrounded by a circumstellar disk (which consists of an inner and outer disk) ... -
Magnetic investigations of Mn-based and Mn-free potential half metals
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)This thesis is concerned with an unusual category of magnetically ordered material, the zero moments ferrimagnetic half metal, which has potential for applications in thin film memory and logic devices. The materials are ... -
