Effect of electric field on the polarised infrared spectra of smectic liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2000)In this research Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy has been used to investigate the effect of the polarised infrared beam and the electric field on the orientational behaviour of the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric ... -
Efficient methods for the computation of high frequency electromagnetic wave scattering from piecewise smooth surfaces using the integral equation formulation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2000)The motivation for this work is the need for rigorous, efficient, accurate and robust computational methods for implementing deterministic radio wave propagation models to enable planners and operators make good use of UHF ... -
Embodied sonification
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)Sonification is the communication of data using sound. This thesis is concerned with meaning-making in sonification. It examines how meaning emerges during sonification listening through the lens of embodied cognitive ... -
Enabling Adaptable Future Networks: Trade-Offs and Resource Allocation Problems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)In this thesis, we illuminate the various trade-offs arising from the trend towards customisable networks, and propose resource allocation procedures to balance these trade-offs and facilitate the necessary coexistence of ... -
Enabling coalitions between Independent Networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015)The ways in which networks are built, owned and controlled have evolved in recent years. The traditional model, of a single entity owning or somehow participating in the entire telecommunications value chain, has begun to ... -
Enabling cognitive radio experimental research
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)Cognitive radio technology is a promising solution for addressing the increasing demand in reliability, connectivity, bandwidth, and quality of future wireless communication systems. This is achieved through continuously ... -
Enhanced multi-antenna capabilities through small cell collaboration
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015)This thesis shows that collaboration between base stations in small cell scenarios can lead to enhanced multiple-antenna gains. We demonstrate this for the case of multi-user MIMO-based reassignments between adjacent small ... -
Enhancement, summarization and analysis of videos of Nephrops habitats
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)Harvesting the commercially significant lobster, Nephrops Norvegicus, is a multi-million dollar industry in Europe. Stock assessment is essential for maintaining this activity but it is conducted by manually inspecting ... -
Example based image processing

Experimental investigations on biaxial nematic and orthogonal biaxial smectic liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)The quest for thermotropic biaxial nematic phase began forty years ago, when it was recognised that the molecules forming liquid crystal phases deviate from their presumed cylindrical shape. In recent years, the interest ... -
Fabrication of ultra-shallow boron junctions using proximity rapid thermal diffusion
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2000)This work presents proximity rapid thermal diffusion (RTD) as a technique for fabricating shallow p-type junctions for LDD devices. Boron-doped spin-on dopant (SOD) is used as a dopant source in proximity RTD. Fourier ... -
Fast probabilistic inference and GPU video processing
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2006) -
Few-Shot Learning and Learnable Frontends for Remote Monitoring of Bird Populations
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2024)In response to changing ecological and environmental factors, automated monitoring of bird populations has become imperative for conservation efforts and as an indicator of change in its own right. This is particularly ... -
Flexibility in ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)This thesis represents a step forward in our understanding of what flexibility, adaptability and reconfigurability means at the network-layer of mobile, wireless, ad hoc networks. Mobile, wireless, ad hoc networks are ... -
Flexo-elastic and electro-optical studies of some novel liquid crystalline systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)This thesis presents the experimental investigation of the material properties of liquid crystalline systems composed of (i) bent-core molecules, (ii) bimesogens composed of rod-like molecules and (iii) dimesogens composed ... -
Front-end analogue filter design for diagnostic electrocardiographic equipment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2013)This thesis addresses the design of an analogue front-end filter for portable electrocardiographic equipment. The task of the filter is to eliminate as much out-of-band noise and interference as possible before the ... -
Handling transparency in digital video

High-level event detection in broadcast sports video
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)This thesis investigates semantic analysis of broadcast sports footage. A domain dependent sports video model is proposed. Under this model, the game semantics can be derived according to their relationship with the ... -
The impact of visual speech on neural processing of auditory speech
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)When we listen to someone speak, seeing their face can help us to understand them better, especially when there is background noise or other people speaking at the same time. Research examining the neural processes underlying ... -
Intermolecular and interlayer interaction in chiral smectic-C liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2008)The molecular and interlayer interactions in smectic-C phases have been investigated in detail. This topic is one of the less well established subjects in the field of liquid crystals. Various new physical phenomena were ...
