Temporal discrimination thresholds as an endophenotype in adult-onset primary torsion dystonia
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)Adult onset primary torsion dystonia (AOPTD) is the most common form of dystonia and is an autosomal dominant disorder with markedly reduced penetrance. Most AOPTD patients therefore present as "sporadic" cases. Disordered ... -
Radical plumbers and playpumps
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)This thesis analyses the PlayPump, a water pump powered by a children's roundabout, which is designed for use in the developing world. The PlayPump is analysed as an example of 'design for development', an area of current ... -
Design, fabrication and optical characterization of one-dimensional two- and multi-component photonic crystals based on silicon
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)The objective of this thesis was the design, fabrication and optical investigation of a novel type of one-dimensional photonic crystal structures for application in integrated Silicon microphotonics. This thesis reports ... -
An investigation of novel and next generation semiconductor and piezoelectric materials using Raman spectroscopic characterisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)Raman spectroscopy is an increasingly prevalent material characterisation technique and this work explored its application to several novel semiconductor and piezoelectric materials. Raman spectroscopy is non-destructive ... -
Amplifier front-end design in dry-electrode electrocardiography
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)This thesis presents an analytical approach to some key issues related to the design of biopotential amplifiers for use in long-term ambulatory recording of the electrocardiogram (ECG) employing pasteless or dry electrodes. ...
