Taking advantage of correlated information for energy-aware scheduling in the IoT: A deep reinforcement learning approach
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)Millions of battery-powered sensors deployed for monitoring purposes in a multitude of scenarios, e.g., agriculture, smart cities, industry, etc., require energy-efficient solutions to prolong their lifetime. When these ... -
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 ... -
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 composition and performance of spatial music
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2009) -
The frequency and field dependence of magnetic colloidal suspensions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2007)This thesis is a study of the dynamic magnetisation of various magnetic fluids, commonly known as ferrofluids. The fluids contain either magnetic nanoparticles, or magnetic microspheres. The method used to study the magnetization ... -
The implicit body : Understanding interactive art through embodiment and embodiment through interactive art
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2009) -
The variational Bayes approach in signal processing
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2004)This thesis is concerned with Bayesian identification of parameters of linear models. Linear models are used in many important problems of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Computationally efficient methods of parameter ... -
Towards a greater understanding of the neurophysiology of natural audiovisual speech processing : a system identification approach to EEG
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)Seeing a speaker’s face as he or she talks can greatly help in understanding what the speaker is saying, especially in adverse hearing conditions – a principle known as inverse effectiveness. This is because the speaker’s ... -
Transient Stability of Power Generating Stations synchronously connected to Low Inertia Electrical Power systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2018)The ever-present requirement to decarbonize energy generation, consequently the impetus to increase energy levels from sustainable sources means that wind turbines and solar photovoltaic installations have become major ... -
Uncovering the effects of semantic context on the cortical processing of continuous speech using computational models of language
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)The semantic context in which spoken words appear will greatly shape how they are understood by the human brain. This understanding is underpinned by a hierarchical system that processes increasingly abstract features of ... -
Varational Bayes inference in digital receivers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)This thesis is primarily concerned with the trade-off between computational complexity and accuracy in digital receivers. Furthermore, because OFDM modulation is key in 4G systems, there is an interest in better demodulation ... -
Video object segmentation from long term trajectories
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011) -
Virtual Radios, Real Services: Enabling End-to-End Network Slicing through Radio Virtualisation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)This work aims to resolve some resource management problems that arise due to changes in the mobile network market and business models, brought by recent trends in commercial mobile networks, such as the widening range of ... -
Wide-band dielectric spectroscopy of small-molecule glass-forming liquids and insulating thin films
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)This thesis describes the application of broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range 1 mHz - 1.8 GHz to two main topics; (i) the glass transition and relaxation features of supercooled liquids and glasses, ...
