The objective of this thesis is to examine the present position of social work within the statutory - child protection and welfare system in Ireland. Its aim is to demonstrate the way in which social work has come to occupy ...
Air quality monitoring and modelling at motorway and roundabout sites in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)
EU legislation requires Ireland to set ambient air quality objectives, assess the ambient air quality, gather information on ambient air quality and make it available to the public, and to maintain or improve the ambient ...
Assessment of the marine durability of self-compacting concrete using experimental testing and probabilistic modelling
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)
Chloride induced corrosion is recognised as the main cause of reinforced concrete deterioration for structures located in marine environments. The primary aim of this thesis is to examine the marine durability of a number ...
Fibrations of predicates and bicategories of relations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)
We reconcile the two different category-theoretic semantics of regular theories in predicate logic. A 2-category of regular fibrations is constructed, as well
as a 2-category of regular proarrow equipments, and ...
Near-infrared luminescent polymer amplifiers and microlasers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2008)
Near-infrared optical gain in luminescent polymeric slab asymmetric waveguides has been investigated by use of amplified spontaneous emission. Upon nanosecond photopumping, the waveguides have shown a small-signal gain ...
Light reflectance of concrete
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)
A phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect occurs where the air and surface temperatures are hotter than in their rural surroundings (Gartland, 2008). The UHI effect is a direct result of urbanisation whereby ...
Anisotropic discretisations and practical all-to-all propagators for lattice QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2006)
In this thesis, we concern ourselves primarily with improving the accuracy of the determination of correlation functions in lattice QCD. We detail two avenues of improvement and implement them both, separately and in ...
The Menstruous-Monstrous : female blood in horror
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of English, 2009)
This thesis examines the subject of menstrual blood in gothic and horror literature and film. It aims to map and locate negative constructions and representations of the menstrual body within the genre while also pointing ...
Coordination and hydrogen bonded networks featuring 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Chemistry, 2004)
The research presented in this thesis lies within the general area of
supramolecular and coordination chemistry. More specifically, this project involves the study of 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-H2dcbp) as a linker ...
