The Detection of Infarcted Stroke Tissue via Localised Sodium Concentration Measurements: A Non-Invasive Approach
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, 2009)Quantitative 23Na Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qNa-MRI) is a non-invasive technique which has considerable potential for measuring Tissue Sodium Concentration (TSC) changes in pathological brain tissue states such as ... -
Ecosystem services and water quality of turloughs, a form of intermittent karst wetland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)Ecosystem services (ES) can be defined as the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems sustain and fulfil human life. These can be classified as provisioning, regulating, and cultural (water and raw material ... -
Fish Friendly Micro-Hydropower: Centrifugal Screw Pump-as-Turbines
(2023)Significant attention has been placed on the development of pump-as-turbines (PATs) for low-cost production of hydropower in the micro and pico scales. Research has focused on the modelling and prediction of the performance ... -
Identifying optimal locations for community electric vehicle charging
(2023)This research seeks to identify suitable locations for deploying community Electric Vehicle charging points using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach. The charging infrastructure is classified into ... -
The impact of on-site domestic wastewater effluent on karst springs: An evaluation of contamination fingerprinting and tracing techniques
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2022)Groundwater from karst aquifers is a major source of drinking water worldwide, but these complex aquifer systems are exceptionally vulnerable to pollution and may be impacted by multiple contamination sources. In rural and ... -
Impact of Sources of Damping On the Fragility Estimates of Wind Turbine Towers
(2024)Fragility estimates in wind turbine towers have been investigated but the the effect of damping on fragility has not been studied. While damping can often be small, it can come from different sources for a wind turbine. ... -
Material Characterization of Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers for Solar Cells Application
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)High energy photons in the UV region are not efficiently used in solar cells and limit the overall efficiency of the cell. Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers can be used to convert the high energy photons to a lower ... -
Modelling diffuse groundwater recharge in Irish karst
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2020)Karstified carbonate aquifers are highly heterogeneous systems characterised by multiple component porosities and permeabilities. The different porosities are associated with different permeabilities commonly interpreted ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ... -
Plasmonic Interaction in Enhanced Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers for Photovoltaic Devices
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)Harvesting solar energy has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and to provide clean energy contributing to sustainable development. Most photovoltaic (PV) research to date has focused on achieving higher PV conversion ...
