2D foams above the jamming transition: Deformation matters
(2017)Jammed soft matter systems are often modelled as dense packings of overlapping soft spheres, thus ignoring particle deformation. For 2D (and 3D) soft disks packings, close to the critical packing fraction ϕc, this results ... -
3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(2024)Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ... -
Ab initio transport across bismuth selenide surface barriers.
(2014)We investigate the effect of potential barriers in the form of step edges on the scattering properties of Bi2Se3(111) topological surface states by means of large-scale ab initio transport simulations. Our results demonstrate ... -
An Active Data Representation of Videos for Automatic Scoring of Oral Presentation Delivery Skills and Feedback Generation
(2020)Public speaking is an important skill, the acquisition of which requires dedicated and time consuming training. In recent years, researchers have started to investigate automatic methods to support public speaking skills ... -
Acute hospital staff s attitudes towards dementia and perceived dementia knowledge: a cross-sectional survey in Ireland
(2020)Background: Little is known about staff’s attitudes in Irish acute hospital settings towards people living with dementia and their perceived dementia knowledge. The aim of this study was to understand the general level of ... -
Advanced Assistive Technologies for Elderly People: A Psychological Perspective on Seniors' Needs and Preferences (part B)
(2021)This paper provides a general overview of the literature regarding advanced assistive technologies devoted to improving elders’ life. Recent studies on assistive robots and embodied conversational agents ... -
Analysis of the foam-forming of non-woven lightweight fibrous materials using X-ray tomography
(2021)Foam-forming has in the past predominantly been used to create two-dimensional sheet-like fibrous materials. Allowing the foam to drain freely and decay under gravity, rather than applying a vacuum to remove it rapidly, ... -

Biomarker Signatures of Two Phenotypical Pre-Frailty Types in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2022)Abstract: We investigated the biomarker signatures of two previously reported phenotypical prefrailty (PF) types in the first wave of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): PF1 (unexplained weight loss and/or ... -
Bisimulations for Communicating Transactions (Extended Abstract)
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014)We develop a theory of bisimulations for a simple language containing communicating transactions, obtained by dropping the isolation requirement of standard transactions. Such constructs have emerged as a useful programming ... -
Broad shoulders and tight belts, options for taxing the better-off

Buckling of a linear chain of hard spheres in a harmonic confining potential: Numerical and analytical results for low and high compression
(2020)We extend a previous analysis of the buckling properties of a linear chain of hard spheres between hard walls under transverse harmonic confinement. Two regimes are distinguished—low compression, for which the entire chain ... -
Buckling of a tilted line of confined hard spheres
(2022)A linear chain of hard spheres confined in a transverse harmonic potential is unstable and buckles, if tilted beyond some critical angle. We examine this symmetry breaking using a computational model that was previously ... -
Computer mediated communication and task-based learning for adolescent learners of Chinese as a foreign Language in Ireland: An eBook task design under the adaption of Bridge 21 technology-mediated learning model
(2022)The Bridge 21 learning model emphasizes teamwork and technology mediation in the process of activity implementations. With the introduction of Chinese as a Leaving Certificate specification in the Irish secondary education ... -
A Contingency Framework for the Performance Consequences of Team Boundary Management: A Meta-analysis of 30 Years of Research
(2023)Research suggests that teams can greatly enhance their performance through boundary manage- ment, which comprises activities that establish, maintain, and regulate linkages with the sur- rounding environment. However, ... -
A continuum description of the buckling of a line of spheres in a transverse harmonic confining potential
(2023)A line of contacting hard spheres, placed in a transverse confining potential, buckles under compression or when tilted away from the horizontal, once a critical tilt angle is exceeded. This interesting nonlinear problem ... -
COVID-19: Is There Evidence for the Use of Herbal Medicines as Adjuvant Symptomatic Therapy?
(2020)Background: Current recommendations for the self-management of SARS-Cov-2 disease (COVID-19) include self-isolation, rest, hydration, and the use of NSAID in case of high fever only. It is expected that many patients will ... -
Cowboys, Cod, Climate and Conflict: Navigations in the Digital Environmental Humanities
(Routledge, 2022)The DEH can be seen as an academic response to three major interwoven changes and challenges: the digital revolution; global warming and global warming and social-political agency related to environmental change. In the ...
