TEENI-Turboshaft Engine Exhaust Noise Identification
(2010)The TEENI project is an FP7 level 1 (Theme 7 ? Transport) 1st Call EU-funded project. It focuses on Helicopter Engine Exhaust Broadband Noise, and tries to identify the origin of this noise from external measurements only. ... -
Telephony-based voice pathology assessment using automated speech analysis
(IEEE, 2006)A system for remotely detecting vocal fold pathologies using telephone-quality speech is presented. The system uses a linear classifier, processing measurements of pitch perturbation, amplitude perturbation and harmonic-to-noise ... -
Temperature-induced sign reversal of biaxiality observed by conoscopy in some ferroelectric Sm- C* liquid crystals
(2007)We have studied various ferroelectric liquid crystals to find the average molecular direction of the shortest axis in the perfectly unwound state by using tilted conoscopic measurements. We find that there exist two types ... -
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 ... -
Temporomandibular joint injuries during whiplash
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2000)Whiplash injuries occur due to differential accelerations in the human body. Neck injuries are predominant, but a considerable body of clinical evidence suggesting a close relationship between whiplash and temporomandibular ... -
Ten years of digital visual restoration systems
(2007)With the growth in marketability of all forms of visual media comes the need to exploit archive material more effectively, and a requirement to guarantee picture quality regardless of the originating medium. Some kind ... -
Tensile and compressive contributions of fibres in peat
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2017) -
Tension and compression stress-strain asymmetry in passive skeletal muscle
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)The general aim of this study is to advance the knowledge of the relationship between the skeletal muscle passive compressive and tensile behaviour, and the microstructure of the muscle through combined experimental, ... -
Testbed Federation: An Approach for Experimentation-driven Research in Cognitive Radios and Cognitive Networking
(2011)The sub-optimal exploitation of radio spectrum is widely accepted. Cognitive radio is a technol ogy that aims to address this issue and improve the overall efficiency of radio spectrum utiliza tion. However, this ... -
TGFß1 - induced recruitment of human bone mesenchymal stem cells is mediated by the primary cilium in a SMAD3-dependent manner.
(2016)The recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a crucial process in the development, maintenance and repair of tissues throughout the body. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) is a potent chemokine essential for the ... -
The application of digital signal processing to the modelling and alleviation of auditory impairment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2001)This work is concerned with the development of digital signal processing models of the unimpaired and impaired human auditory system with a view towards the development of signal processing strategies for the alleviation ... -
The application of genetic algorithms to civil engineering optimisation problems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2001)Genetic algorithms are optimisation algorithms that mimic the mechanisms of natural selection. This thesis is concerned with the theoretical development of genetic algorithms and with their successful application to civil ... -
The attenuation capacity of different subsoils receiving domestic wastewater effluent
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)With the domestic wastewater effluent of approximately 400,000 dwellings in Ireland being discharged to groundwater annually and about 25% of all water supplies in the country provided by groundwater a risk of contamination ... -
The cellular transducer in damage-stimulated bone remodelling
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2004)People with osteoporosis, osteopenia or weight baring joint replacement, due to an altered loading configuration, are more susceptible to microdamage accumulation than normal human beings as are athletes who undertake ... -
The characterisation of electrical energy consumption in complex manufacturing process chains
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2013)The combination of increasing energy costs, corporate image concerns, and environmental legislation is driving a transition towards energy and resource efficiency within the manufacturing sector. Developing a more comprehensive ... -
The composition and performance of spatial music

The developement of novel scaffolds for tissue engineering with a range of structural and mechanical properties
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2009)Tissue engineering (or regenerative medicine) is defined as the application of scientific principles to the synthesis of living tissues using bioreactors, cells, scaffolds, growth factors, or a combination (Rose and Oreffo, ... -
The development of a bridge network lifecycle prediction model for the Irish network
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)The main aim of this thesis was the development of a bridge network condition prediction tool for the Irish network. This has been carried out with the intention of enabling the developed module to be incorporated into ...
