Comparative study of beam-induced carbonaceous deposits in helium-ion and scanning electron microscopes.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)In this work, the phenomena of beam-induced contamination in charged beam microscopes (i.e. the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and helium ion microscope (HIM)) was investigated in order to determine its influence on ... -
Development of Novel Anti-Trypanosomal Compounds via Computational, In Vitro and In Vivo Methods
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2018)Human African Trypanosomiasis is a neglected parasitic disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei, which if left untreated eventually leads to coma and death. With no successful vaccine to date, treatment relies on chemotherapy. ... -
Exploring New and Enhanced Optical Functionalities in Coupled Nano-Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)In this thesis, a variety of novel emerging systems were chosen to explore new and enhanced optical functionalities in coupled nano-systems. The coupling of novel nanomaterials with complimentary properties paves the way ... -
Formalising Human Mental Workload as a Defeasible Computational Concept
(Trinity College Dublin, 2014)Human mental workload has gained importance, in the last few decades, as a fundamental design concept in human-computer interaction. It can be intuitively defined as the amount of mental work necessary for a person to ... -
Harmonic and superparamagnetic nanoparticles for biomedical imaging and diagnostic applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2020)Diagnosing certain diseases and tracking their progression requires the ability to 'see' into the body. This is typically achieved by taking advantage of intrinsic contrast in biological tissues (such as in X-ray or magnetic ... -
Influential factors of cereal crop landscapes on aphidophagous syrphid communities
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2021)Aphidophagous syrphids are a common group of insects in agriculture, attributed with benefiting farmers with pollination and pest control services. Farmed landscapes are also believed to have potential in supporting and ... -
Investigating the applicability of immune checkpoint blockade in upper gastrointestinal cancers
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Surgery, 2022)Oesophagogastric junctional adenocarcinoma (OGJ) is an aggressive malignancy with a high propensity to metastasise. Response rates to first-line chemo(radio)therapy regimens remain poor therefore, better treatment options ... -

Undrained Triaxial Experimental Investigations and Hyperviscoplastic Modelling of Peat Materials
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)This PhD research includes two parts, viz. experimental investigation on the undrained mechanical properties of undisturbed fibrous peat and a finite strain constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework ...
