3D Bioprinted Cartilaginous Templates as Developmentally Inspired Implants for Large Bone Defect Regeneration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2022)Whilst bone possesses an inherent capacity for regeneration, defects above a critical size cannot heal on their own. Damaged or diseased bone can be treated using autografts or a range of different bone grafting biomaterials, ... -
3D Bioprinting of Anatomically Accurate Implants for Meniscus Tissue Engineering
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Surgery, 2020)Menisci are soft tissues essential for load bearing and stress distribution in the knee joint. Meniscal injuries are common in all age groups and can lead to degeneration of the joint. While currently available surgical ... -
3D bioprinting of cartilage-mimetic implants for biological joint resurfacing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)A major challenge in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of effective therapies for treating large cartilage or osteochondral defects and ultimately regenerating whole osteoarthritic ... -
3D Bioprinting of Developmentally Inspired Templates for Bone and Joint Regeneration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)There is an urgent need to develop alternatives to synthetic joint prosthesis to promote the regeneration of diseased osteoarthritic joints. Cell based therapies have shown promise for repairing cartilage and bone; however, ... -
3D Bioprinting Strategies To Engineer Structurally Organised Meniscal Tissue Grafts
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)Lesions to the meniscus are common sports-related injuries that can lead to articular cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis if left untreated. While surgical repair procedures and meniscal substitutes offer better ... -
3D Modelling Tool to Optimise Advanced Plasmonic Luminescent Solar Devices for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)This research concentrates on modelling and optimisation of a static building integrated PV (BIPV) component in which both direct and diffuse solar radiation are harvested through luminescent solar (LS) devices. Plasmonic ... -
3D object reconstruction using multiple views
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)3D object modelling from multiple view images has recently been of increasing interest in computer vision. Two techniques, Visual Hull and Photo Hull, have been extensively studied in the hope of developing 3D shape ... -
A 3D printed acoustic metamaterial liner to reduce low-frequency aeroengine noise
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)As the level of air travel continues to increase, so too does the demand for better noise-reduction technologies for aircraft. The environmental noise produced by aircraft has been shown to have a significant adverse effect ... -
3D-Printed Air-Cathodes for Microbial Fuel Cells: Advancing Pollutant Removal and Energy Recovery from Wastewater
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2025)Worldwide, 300 billion m3 of domestic wastewater was produced every year, which contained around 600 billlion kWh of energy. Current wastewater treatment methods, which rely heavily on aeration, are highly energy-intensive, ... -
4-octyl itaconate and itaconate in the regulation of type I interferon in macrophages
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2025)Itaconate is an endogenous immunomodulatory metabolite produced by the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1), a product of the gene immune-responsive gene 1 (Irg1). Itaconate is the most highly upregulated metabolite ... -
A behavioural and non-behavioural analysis of the London gold market
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Trinity Business School, 2015)This thesis makes a number of contributions to the literature on the economics and finance of the gold market, with a special emphasis on the London gold market. It provides the first effort to produce a substantiate ... -
A benevolent society? Local relief committee membership in Ireland 1817-57
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of History, 2001)In all the various discussions and debates stimulated by poverty and relief in nineteenth-century Ireland, studies rarely go beyond generalisations with respect to relief committee membership. The main aim of this thesis ... -
A biblical mnemohistory of 'Egypt' : Exodus as the legitimation of Israelite continuity
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Near and Middle Eastern Studies, 2015)The aim of this thesis was to chart the evolution of the tradition in the Hebrew Bible of a migration from Egypt as it relates to the development of Israelite identity, with a view to negotiating a position between the ... -
A biochemical oscillator : experimental and theoretical studies of the peroxidase-oxidase reaction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Biochemistry and Immunology, 2000)The peroxidase-oxidase (PO) reaction is the haem-peroxidase catalysed reaction of molecular oxygen with NADH, and has been shown previously to behave in an oscillatory fashion. It has been used here as a useful laboratory ... -
