A Global and Targeted Proteomic Investigation of Aspergillus fumigatus
(2012)
Owens, Rebecca A.
Abstract:
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause invasive disease in immunocompromised individuals and, less frequently, in immunocompetent hosts. Proteomic investigation of A. fumigatus has the potential to enable global analysis of protein expression, identify potential targets for vaccine or diagnostic tool development, and characterise system-wide responses to external stimuli. Implementation of a large-scale proteomic strategy lead to the identification of non-redundant proteins from mycelia (n = 390) and culture supernatants (n = 42) of A. fumigatus. Utilisation of MS-based proteomics facilitated the identification of proteins typically under-represented in 2D-PAGE proteome maps, including proteins with multiple transmembrane regions, hydrophobic proteins and proteins with extremes of molecular mass and pI. Pre-fractionation of complex protein samples, by gel-filtration or gold nanoparticle pre-incubation, demonstrated potential for reduction of sample complex...

A Globalised Vulnerability: Re-Presenting the Labouring Body of Ireland's Newly Industrialised Landscape
(2011)
Curran, Mark
Abstract:
<p>Situated in the context of globalisation in the Republic of Ireland, this ethnographically informed practice-based thesis addresses the critical relationship between visual arts practice, curatorship, the historical representation of labour, industrialised space and contemporary global labour practices. Drawing on audio and visual ethnographic material generated in my fieldsite - the Hewlett-Packard Manufacturing and Research complex in Leixlip, Ireland, together with the resulting installation and publication titled The Breathing Factory, it further investigates the dissemination of such epistemologies, the term ‘re-representation' being deployed as a reflexive gesture in acknowledgement of such critical re-contextualisations.</p>

A Great and Sudden Change : Lord Castlereagh, economic reform, and the transformation of post-Napoleonic politics
(2014)
Parker, Grady Steele
Abstract:
THESIS 10494
Utilizing a political history approach, this thesis presents an account of two distinct, but interrelated narratives of change. Firstly, it presents Castlereagh?s political thought as a process, and seeks to present Castlereagh?s policies as uniquely flexible due to his ends driven political tendencies. The evidence of Castlereagh?s development, on a broad swathe of prominent legislative and ideological debates is then analyzed within the larger context of the second ?great and sudden change? brought about by the impact of economic reforms, both supported and opposed by the Liverpool government, in the years that followed the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

A grey area : an investigation of organisational decision-maker attitudes toward 'older' workers
(2011)
McCarthy, Jean
Abstract:
Workforce ageing has been labelled the defining social issue of the 21st century. Projections of diminishing workforces and declining prosperity have led to the realisation that ‘older workers’ are required to remain in the labour market for longer. Yet, mounting evidence suggests the categorisation of workers as ‘older’ has a negative impact on their employability. How governments and organisations will negotiate this new work environment requires an understanding of the ways in which ‘older workers’ are perceived in organisations. This thesis therefore examines the attitudes of organisational decision-makers (i.e. those involved in the process of recruiting, selecting, training, and developing workers in organisations) toward ‘older workers’. In doing so, it draws on survey data from 243 organisational decision-makers across industries in Ireland in order to: first, clarify who they consider ‘older workers’ to be; second, to examine their attitudes toward these ‘older workers’; an...

A grounded theory of football fan community identity and co-production: Consumer roles in brand culture, meaning, and value co-creation in virtual communities
(2012)
Healy, Jason C.
Abstract:
This study theorizes why and how consumers consume. Using a combined methodology, drawing upon Netnography and Grounded Theory, to study an online fan forum called RedAndWhiteKop, this thesis considers brand culture/meaning and value co-creation. The research site is a VC containing football fans who are views as stakeholders of the organisation Liverpool Football Club. Following emergent fit with woven in literature streams found in managerial marketing as Service-Dominant Logic and the consumer research field known as Consumer Culture Theory (CCT), analysis is conducted on fan consumer behaviours leading to submission of a Typology of Seven Consumer Community Cultural Co-creative Roles. The author reflects on existing theoretical consumer responses to market offerings of exit, voice, loyalty, and twist, found in literature; adopting these as four co-creative roles. This study contributes three new consumer co-creative roles of entry, re-entry, and non-entry. This study's fin...

A grounded theory of requirements documentation in the practice of software development
(2002)
Power, Norah M.
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the concept of a “ good enough” requirements document. It takes the position, based on empirical observations, that standard prescriptive approaches have failed to identify the necessary and sufficient characteristics of a good requirements document, because what is good enough in one situation may not be desirable or acceptable in another. Therefore, no single set o f criteria can define “a good requirements document”. The thesis presents a grounded theory which attempts to explain the diversity of styles of requirements documents found in practice, in relation to the variety of situations in which software products and systems are developed. It identifies the factors that might be useful to categorise situations from the point of view of requirements documentation. Requirements documents are widely used in software development, an activity typically carried out in an organisational context. Organisational theory suggests that the best approach in an...

A high content screening microscopy approach to dissect the mechanism of Golgi-to-ER retrograde traffic
(2015)
Galea, George
Abstract:
The Golgi complex is the central sorting and processing station of the secretory or anterograde pathway. Nascent proteins leaving the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are first received and collected into an ER-Golgi intermediate compartment, and then if destined for secretion are subsequently transported through the Golgi cisternae to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), during which time a wide range of post-translational modifications occur. The proteins received at the TGN, are selectively sorted and packaged into distinct carrier vesicles that are sorted and transported to either the plasma membrane or endosomal/lysosomal compartments. For certain proteins and lipids however, they may need to be selectively retained in specific Golgi cisternae, or in some cases returned to the ER by active transport. In the face of an incessant flow of material passing through it, the Golgi must maintain its structural and functional integrity. Although much is known about the machinery regulating the ante...

A high frequency wide field of view ultrasonic sensor for short range collision avoidance applications on intervention class underwater vehicles
(2007)
Nolan, Seán Patrick
Abstract:
In this thesis a novel sensor design for intervention class AUVs and UUVs is described. The objective of this study is the development of sensor solutions that facilitate autonomous or remote guidance of underwater vehicles in close proximity to marine platforms, the seafloor or other hazards. In particular, this study addresses the need for improved sensing within the working envelope of intervention class vehicles. A literature review of the state-of-the-art in collision avoidance sensors identifies a number of performance and design shortfalls with currently available sensors as applied to intervention class UUVs and AUVs generally. This thesis then focuses on addressing these sensing shortfalls and in so doing strives to remove a practical impediment to the realisation of viable intervention AUVs. The sensor developed tested and evaluated provides a low-cost solution based on ultrasonic sensing principles. The new sensor design is characterised by a wide-angle spatial transmissi...

A High Pressure Shock Tube and Rapid Compression Machine Study of n-Butylcyclohexane and its Mixtures with n-Heptane
(2013)
Conroy, Christine
Abstract:
This study presents a high pressure experimental and modelling investigation on the ignition of n-butylcyclohexane and its mixtures with n-heptane. Mixtures were chosen to represent a surrogate for n-decylcyclohexane, a constituent of transportation fuels which has an extremely low vapour pressure and hence it is currently impossible to carry out gas phase experiments using this fuel. Thus, mixtures of 53% n-butylcyclohexane and 47% n-heptane were prepared and studied to mimic the same hydrogen/carbon ratio as n-decylcyclohexane. Ignition delay times were measured in two heated shock tubes in the temperature range 800 - 1550 K, at reflected shock 1, 10, 30 and 50 atm and at equivalence ratios of 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 in air for both n-butylcyclohexane and mixtures of n-butylcyclohexane / n-heptane. The shock tubes used in this study consists of a 3 m driver section and 5.73 m driven section separated by a double diaphragm section. Upon rupture of the diaphragm a shock wave is gener...

Welch, Howard Terence
Abstract:
THESIS 6856
A History of Kilkenny College, 1538 -1903: A study of the vicissitudes of a privately endowed grammar school in Ireland. This thesis examines the history of Kilkenny College, Ireland's oldest grammar school, from its foundation in 1538 until the management of the College was taken over by the Incorporated Society for the Promotion of Protestant Schools in Ireland in 1903. The philosopher George Berkeley, the writer Jonathan Swift and the dramatist William Congreve are some of the College's notable former pupils. Chapter One examines the establishment of the College by the earl and countess of Ormond until its closure in 1566. In doing so the Ormonds were continuing in a tradition of education which had existed in Kilkermy since monastic times and the twelfth century foundation of the college of the vicars choral, connected to St. Canice's Cathedral. Chapter Two argues that through the orthodox teachings of Peter White, Master of the College from 1557 u...

A history of the Brigidine Sisters in Ireland and Australia 1807-1907
(2014)
Power, Catherine Ann
Abstract:
THESIS 10395
The Sisters of St Brigid (Brigidines) were founded in Tullow, County Carlow, by Dr Daniel Delany, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin in 1807. These nuns were part of the unusually fast expansion of simple-vowed congregations in nineteenth-century Ireland. This thesis through the use of standard archival and historical research methods has explored the congregation?s evolution and development in Ireland and Australasia. It has analysed the Brigidines from their foundation to provide free and fee-paying day and boarding schools and catechetical teaching in Sunday schools to its late achievement of definitive papal approbation in 1907.

A history of youth justice in Ireland : opening up space in government
(2010)
Sargent, Paul
Abstract:
THESIS 9351
This thesis outlines a history of juvenile justice in Ireland. However, it does not amount to a straightforward narrative history, rather, it draws inspiration from the later writings of Michel Foucault, specifically his essay ?Governmentality? (1991a). Here Foucault highlights the transition that takes place in the eighteenth century from the ?art of government? to ?political science?. This science involves all the institutions, forms of knowledge, techniques and tactics that constitute the ?mentality? to govern. After Foucault, a rich vein of literature utilising the concept of ?governmentality? emerged and this thesis draws from and engages with this literature, especially that developed by Mitchell Dean and Nikolas Rose.

A holistic framework for environmental impacts in production tools to enable optimisation
(2012)
Posten, Katharina
Abstract:
Energy and resource efficiency are key for establishing a sustainable manufacturing sector. For this, a holistic environmental impact assessment methodology is required which combines environmental regulations and energy efficiency methods to give standardised environmental impacts that can be easily compared across different products. Focussing this method on production tools maximises the savings enabled through this standardised approach, as they directly affect all other factory systems. The methodology has to include not only the volume of consumption of substances used but also their embedded footprints of energy, greenhouse gasses and other environmental aspects such as toxicity or eutrophication. Including these allows the methodology to balance substances against each other whilst keeping in mind tool consumption rates and tool operation. For complex manufacturing tools, the selection of which substances to monitor is another important consideration, to allow widespread ada...

A holistic stock analysis of Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) from the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea
(2009)
Davies, Carys Ann
Abstract:
Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre, 1788) is a highly migratory scombrid with a cosmopolitan distribution inhabiting all the worlds’ ocean, in both tropical and temperate regions. Albacore juveniles and adults are highly exploited, with the main commercial fisheries in the North East Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea targeting juvenile feeding aggregations. The life history of this species is poorly known and very little is understood regarding the stock origin of the exploited fish. Current management assumes a single panmictic stock in the North Atlantic with the Mediterranean as a separate management unit; previous studies have identified potential heterogeneity within the North Atlantic stock. Uncertainties are evident in age estimations and the interpretation of growth increments of this species; this presents problems for stock assessment which is based on an age-structured model. This study evaluates age estimation and stock discrimination techniques (otolith ...

A human-centered design of a connected health system for older adults
(2017)
Harte, Richard P.
Abstract:
The work outlined in this thesis explores the design of Connected Health devices, analyses the user characteristics of older adults and suggests a design methodology which was then applied to the design of two elements within a Connected Health system. The details of the application of the methodology are described and the effect of its application on the usability, human factors and user experience of the Connected Health system are analysed and discussed. The measured outcomes show that the methodology had a positive effect on the user experience of the tested devices within the system, indicating that taking a Human-Centered Design approach when designing home health devices, particularly for older adults, can be beneficial and can increase the likelihood of technology acceptance. This acceptance could lead to the more efficient and effective delivery of healthcare within the Connected Health domain, thereby easing the burden on more traditional healthcare delivery vectors.

A Hybrid Framework for Querying Linked Data Dynamically
(2013)
Umbrich, Jürgen
Abstract:
As of today, the Web has evolved to become the largest collection of information made available by mankind. Researchers and developers are continuously working on transforming this loosely connected data collection into a giant knowledge base. As part of this trend, the Semantic Web community has started a movement to transform the Web of unstructured text into the so called 'Web of Data'-a framework to create, share and reuse data by humans and machines alike across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. From this movement, Linked Data has emerged as a set of best practices to publish, connect and discover structured data on the Web using standard formats. As of today, there are over thirty billion public facts which can be accessed, reused and combined by individuals as well as organisations and companies. As the Web of Data continues to expand and diversify, it becomes more and more dynamic with data being constantly generated, removed and updated, e.g., fro...

A Jaworskian analysis of four senior class primary teachers endeavouring to teach mathematics from a constructivist-compatible perspective
(2016)
McCarthy, Joseph
Abstract:
A constructivist philosophy underlies the Irish primary mathematics curriculum. As constructivism is a theory of learning its implications for teaching need to be addressed. This study explores the experiences of four senior class primary teachers as they endeavour to teach mathematics from a constructivist-compatible perspective with primary school children in Ireland over a school-year period. Such a perspective implies that children should take ownership of their learning while working in groups on tasks which challenge them at their zone of proximal development. The key question on which the research is based is: to what extent will an exposure to constructivism and its implications for the classroom impact on teaching practices within the senior primary mathematics classroom in both the short and longer term? Although several perspectives on constructivism have evolved (von Glaserfeld (1995), Cobb and Yackel (1996), Ernest (1991,1998)), it is the synthesis of the emergent persp...

Abstract:
THESIS 8527
In the current literature on Britain and Ireland during the First World War there is a significant gap concerning public responses to the outbreak throughout the autumn of 1914. My project rectifies this situation by being the first systematic analysis of British and Irish public opinion at the outbreak of the Great War. The first aim of the thesis is to replace simplistic accounts of war enthusiasm by a more nuanced and complex picture of popular sentiment in Britain and Ireland. The second is to integrate Ireland into a UK-wide study of the First World War. This thesis takes a chronological, analytical and thematic approach to the outbreak of war in 1914. Chapter One details feelings of tension in the lead-up to the announcement of war on 4th August and follows the chaos and disruption that followed during the first few weeks of the conflict. Chapters Two to Four examine three dominant themes in detail- the national cause, perceptions of the enemy, and encounter...

A knowledge management system to optimise comfort throughout the building life-cycle
(2013)
O'Grady, Walter
Abstract:
Comfort is, in essence, satisfaction with the environment, and with respect to the indoor environment it is primarily satisfaction with the thermal conditions and air quality. Improving comfort has social, health and economic benefits, and is more financially significant than any other building cost. Despite this, comfort is not strictly managed throughout the building lifecycle. This is mainly due to the lack of an appropriate system to adequately manage comfort knowledge through the construction process into operation. Previous proposals to improve knowledge management have not been successfully adopted by the construction industry. To address this, the BabySteps approach was devised. BabySteps is an approach, proposed by this research, which states that for an innovation to be adopted into the industry it must be implementable through a number of small changes. This research proposes that improving the management of comfort knowledge will improve comfort. ComMet is a new methodol...

A Knowledge-driven Distributed Architecture for Context-Aware Systems
(2015)
Lupiana, Dennis
Abstract:
<p>As the number of devices increases, it becomes a challenge for the users to use them effectively. This is more challenging when the majority of these devices are mobile. The users and their devices enter and leave different environments where different settings and computing needs may be required. To effectively use these devices in such environments means to constantly be aware of their whereabouts, functionalities and desirable working conditions. This is impractical and hence it is imperative to increase seamless interactions between the users and devices,and to make these devices less intrusive. To address these problems, various responsive computing systems, called context- aware systems, have been developed. These systems rely on architectures to perceive their physical environments in order to appropriately and effortlessly respond. Currently, the majority of the existing architectures focus on acquiring data from sensors, interpreting and sharing it with these syste...

A Learning Architecture to Support Autonomous Resource Scheduling and Allocation in the Cloud
(2014)
Barrett, Enda
Abstract:
The advent of on-demand computing facilitated by computational clouds, provides an almost unlimited resource supply to support the execution of applications and processes. Through a process known as virtualisation large server machines are divided up into smaller units known as virtual machines. These virtual machines can then be procured on demand to support application deployments, workflow executions and service delivery via the cloud. However, optimally allocating these virtual resources to support a given application deployment or workflow execution on a cloud platform presents a number of significant research challenges. Virtualisation is enabled through a domain level hypervisor which controls access to the shared hardware amongst the competing virtual machines. Switching between domains and attempting to distribute access to these shared mediums is non-trivial and causes performance interference effects amongst the virtual machines. This presents a challenge when attempting ...

Abstract:
Today, technology has progressed to allow us to capture our lives digitally such as taking pictures, recording videos and gaining access to WiFi to share experiences using smartphones. People’s lifestyles are changing. One example is from the traditional memo writing to the digital lifelog. Lifelogging is the process of using digital tools to collect personal data in order to illustrate the user’s daily life (Smith et al., 2011). The availability of smartphones embedded with different sensors such as camera and GPS has encouraged the development of lifelogging. It also has brought new challenges in multi-sensor data collection, large volume data storage, data analysis and appropriate representation of lifelog data across different devices. This study is designed to address the above challenges. A lifelogging system was developed to collect, store, analyse, and display multiple sensors’ data, i.e. supporting multimodal access. In this system, the multi-sensor data (also called data s...

A literary occupation: responses of German writers in service in occupied Europe
(2012)
O'Keeffe, William John
Abstract:
This thesis examines the literary output of German servicemen writers writing from the occupied territories of Europe in the period 1940-1944. Whereas literary-biographical studies and appraisals of the more significant individual writers have been written, and also a collective assessment of the Eastern front writers, this thesis addresses in addition the German literary responses in France and Greece, as being then theatres of particular cultural/ideological attention. Original papers of the writer Felix Hartlaub were consulted by the author at the Deutsches Literatur Archiv (DLA) at Marbach. Original imprints of the wartime works of the subject writers are referred to throughout, and citations are from these. As all the published works were written under conditions of wartime censorship and, even where unpublished, for fear of discovery written in oblique terms, the texts were here examined for subliminal authorial intention. The critical focus of the thesis is on literary qualit...

A Long Hello to Beveridge : social security in the Republic of Ireland, 1981 - 2007

Abstract:
THESIS 10553
This thesis analysed the development of social security in the Republic of Ireland from 1981 to 2007, by providing a theoretically informed account of changes in expenditure, law and policy. The central argument of the thesis is that social security in Ireland was not simply emasculated in the face of globalisation and related pressures. To the contrary, there is evidence of expansion and improvement, as well as evidence of retrenchment. On the whole, social security was a more encompassing system in 2007 than in 1981, and for some, more generous. Internationally, scholars have identified retrenchment and other forms of restructuring of social security in advanced welfare states, notably those in the Anglo-Saxon 'world of welfare' This thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of social security in Ireland from 1981 to 2007 and shows that social security there adapted, but in complex ways that resulted in considerable continuity. Globalisation did not exert a...
