    • Choose Your Target Wisely: How the EU Shapes Nationalism in Contemporary Europe 

      Johnston, Samuel Alexander (Trinity College Dublin. School of Social Sciences & Philosophy. Discipline of Political Science, 2022)
      Nationalism has experienced a resurgence across Europe since 1980, and one common explanation for this resurgence is that the backlash to European integration aids radical right parties, which prioritise nativism in the ...

    • Study of Kerr Soliton Microcombs in Optical Microresonators 

      Afridi, Adnan Ali (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)

    • Towards Closing the Care Gap in Bone Health in Gynaecological Oncology 

      O'Gorman, Catherine Anne (Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2022)
      Loss of bone mineral density (BMD) resulting in osteopaenia, or osteoporosis is relatively common in women, particularly postmenopausal women. Women with gynaecological malignancies are at particular risk due to the effect ...

    • Assessing the compressive strength and elastic modulus of high-performance GGBS concrete 

      Gao, Jingran (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2022)
      The mechanical properties of High Performance Concrete are crucial for structural design to achieve expected advantages over conventional concrete. For example, the efficient prefabrication of precast concrete requires ...

    • Duality and domains in supersymmetric gauge theories 

      Aspman, Johannes Bengt (Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)
      This thesis investigates duality properties of four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. By restricting the domain of the effective coupling to an appropriate fundamental domain the order parameter on the ...

    • Neural Mechanisms Mediating the Cross Education of Motor Function: Implications for Healthy Older Adults 

      Calvert, Glenn Hans (Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2022)
      Cross education (CE) is the process whereby a regimen of unilateral limb training engenders bilateral improvements in motor function. It is widely held that the contralateral gains thus derived may impart therapeutic ...

    • Modularity in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory 

      Furrer, Elias Raphael (Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2022)
      In this thesis, we study the modularity and duality of Coulomb branches for a class of four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. For pure N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2), the Coulomb branch can ...

    • The Hybrid Identities of Academic Entrepreneurs 

      Walsh, Natalie (Trinity College Dublin. School of Business. Discipline of Business & Administrative Studies, 2022)
      Academic Entrepreneurs continuously face identity paradoxes. Drawing on theories from role identity and entrepreneurial orientation literature, this study investigate how academic entrepreneurs manage their hybrid role ...

    • Consistent Mode-Finding for Parametric and Non-Parametric Clustering 

      Tobin, Joshua (Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Statistics, 2022)
      Density peaks clustering detects modes as points with high density and large distance to points of higher density. To cluster the observed samples, points are assigned to the same cluster as their nearest neighbor of higher ...

    • An exploration of female adolescent experiences of abortion and miscarriage from an adult retrospective bio-psycho-social perspective 

      Lloyd, Caroline Ann (Trinity College Dublin. School of Education. Discipline of Education, 2022)
      The current research presents an exploratory bioecological understanding of female experiences of miscarriage or abortion during secondary school-ages. A systematic review revealed that the topic area is empirically sparse, ...
