Quantification and optimisation of the benefits and risks of urban cycling
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)This thesis reports on a research project aimed at developing comprehensive methods for quantifying the benefits and risks of urban cycling, investigating the environmental exposures of cyclists and developing a tool for ... -
Quantification of submarine/intertidal groundwater discharge and nutrient loading from a lowland karst catchment
(2014)Summary Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognised to be a process of significant importance to coastal systems and is of increasing interest within oceanographic and hydrologic research communities. However, ... -
Quantification of Subsurface Damage in a Brittle Insulating Ceramic by Three-Dimensional Focused Ion Beam Tomography
(2011)In this study, we present a fully automated method to investigate and reconstruct the three-dimensional crack structure beneath an indent in a highly insulating material. This work concentrates on issues arising from a ... -
Quantifying nutrient dynamics through a lowland karst network
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)In this thesis, hydrochemical methods are used in combination with hydrologic analysis to characterise and model the Gort Lowlands catchment in western Galway, specifically focussing on an interlinked chain of ephemeral ... -
Quantifying the perceived safety of cyclists in Dublin
(2015)In recent years, cycling has been recognised by policy makers and practitioners as a sustainable alternative to motorised travel. However, a lack of perceived safety associated with cycling may have inhibited its growth ... -
Quantitative accoustic analysis of inhaler sounds for the objective assessment of inhaler adherence in patients with chronic respiratory diseases
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two of the most prevalent chronic respiratory disorders. Over 800 million people suffer from these diseases and over four million people die annually. Although ... -
Quantitative assessment of perceptual, motor and cognitive function in Parkinson's disease and their contribution to freezing of gait
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016) -
Quantum dot energy relaxation mediated by plasmon emission in doped covalent semiconductor heterostructures
(American Physical Society, 2007)The interaction between interface plasmons within a doped substrate and quantum dot electrons or holes has been theoretically studied in double heterostructures based on covalent semiconductors. The interface plasmon modes, ... -
Quantum Dot Luminescent Solar Concentrator: Optimization of Concentration and Thickness
(2017)The absorption coefficient of a Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) can non-linearly affect the total optical efficiency (η_opt) and solar concentration ratio (C_P) of the device. Absorption is determined by two critical ... -
Quantum effects in the Brownian motion of a particle in a double well potential in the overdamped limit.
(2009)Quantum effects in the noninertial Brownian motion of a particle in a double well potential are treated via a semiclassical Smoluchowski equation for the time evolution of the reduced Wigner distribution function in ... -
Quasiprobability density diffusion equations for the quantum Brownian motion in a potential
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2007)Wigner's [E. P. Wigner, Phys. Rev., 1932, 40, 749] representation of the density operator as a c-number quasiprobablity distribution in phase space allowing quantum mechanical averages involving the density matrix to be ... -
Radar, TV, and Cellular Bands: Which Spectrum Access Technique for Which Bands?
(2014)Opportunistic access has been considered by regu- lators for a number of different spectrum bands. In this paper, we discuss and qualitatively evaluate techniques used in the discovery of spectrum opportunities, also ... -
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 ... -
Radio Access Network and Spectrum Sharing in Future Mobile Networks
(2016)Future mobile networks will be characterized by wide-spread resource sharing, and a more nuanced view of what it means to offer a mobile service. The traditional view of a mobile network as a system that simply delivers ...
