Invisible encoded backdoor attack on DNNs using conditional GAN
(IEEE, 2023-02-17)Deep Learning (DL) models deliver superior performance and have achieved remarkable results for classification and vision tasks. However, recent research focuses on exploring these Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) weaknesses ... -
Detached eddy simulation of unsteady flow over a frontal cavity
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2023)Frontal cavity consists of complex unsteadiness which causes bow shock instabilities when the body is moving at supersonic or hypersonic speed through a fluid. These complex unsteady flow fields are an important practical ... -
Effects of freestream disturbances in front of spiked blunt nose at hypersonic flow
(Council of European Aerospace Societies, 2021)The effects of high frequency slow and fast acoustic wave freestream disturbances are modelled in front of pulsating bow shock formed at spiked blunt nose in hypersonic flow. These disturbances are introduced as time-dependent ... -
Numerical study of an aerospike nozzle in retropropulsion
(Council of European Aerospace Societies, 2021)The primary motivation of this numerical study is to explore the feasibility of drag enhancement using aerospike nozzle for retropropulsion in hypersonic flow. An external expansion contoured aerospike nozzle with design ... -
An examination of the diversity of beer and cider products sold in Irish supermarkets in the context of health promotion advice
(Jacobs Verlag, 2022-07-11)Aim: Current health promotion advice relating to the consumption of beer and cider in Ireland is very firmly based on nominal pints and half pints of beer. This study sought to determine if the assumed alcohol strength ... -
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: a review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2022)Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ... -
Implications for the seafood industry, consumers and the environment arising from contamination of shellfish with pharmaceuticals, plastics and potentially toxic elements: a case study from Irish waters with a global orientation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-20)Shellfish are a rich source of minerals, B-vitamins and omega-3 to the human diet. The global population is expected to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 where there will be increased demand for shellfish and for sustained ... -
A circular economy framework for seafood waste valorisation to meet challenges and opportunities for intensive production and sustainability
(Elsevier, 2023)There is a growing concern among societies and consumers over food security and the sustainability of food production systems. For seafood, it has been highly advocated as a healthy food source and its sustainability ... -

Identification of Nanoparticle Properties for Optimal Drug Delivery across a Physiological Cell Barrier
(MDPI, 2023)Nanoparticles (NPs) represent an attractive strategy to overcome difficulties associated with the delivery of therapeutics. Knowing the optimal properties of NPs to address these issues could allow for improved in vivo ... -
Pathogenic drug resistant fungi: a review of mitigation strategies
(MDPI, 2023-01-13)Fungal pathogens cause significant human morbidity and mortality globally, where there is a propensity to infect vulnerable people such as the immunocompromised ones. There is increasing evidence of resistance to antifungal ... -
A systematic review of mucoadhesive vaginal tablet testing
(AboutScience, 2023-01-16)Drug administration through the vaginal tract is one of the oldest modalities of pharmacotherapy, and it is also one of the most explored. Since the vaginal cavity has a wide surface area, a plentiful blood supply, and a ... -
Potential disruptive effects of zoosporic parasites on peatland-based organic freshwater aquaculture: case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2023-01-10)Irish freshwater aquaculture holds great potential for aiding food security. However, its necessary expansion has been hampered by the adoption of important environmental EU directives. A novel peatland-based recirculating ... -
Chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffolds with P28 as a promising osteoinductive scaffold for bone healing applications
(MDPI, 2023-01-31)Despite bone’s inherent ability to heal, large bone defects remain a major clinical concern. This study proposes an off-the-shelf treatment combining chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HAp) scaf folds, covalently linked with ... -
Improved learning outcomes and teacher experience: a qualitative study of team-based learning in secondary schools.
(Elsevier, 2023-06-11)Based on the benefits of Team-Based Learning (TBL) in higher education, our project investigated possible benefits of TBL in secondary education. We found that, despite challenges, the benefits of using TBL in secondary ... -
The Irish War of Independence (1919–1921) in County Galway: Local Histories, Memories & Post-Conflict Heritage Initiatives
(Atlantic Technological University, 2022)The Government of Ireland's Decade of Centenaries programme has aroused much interest of late in the revolutionary events that preceded the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. This thesis explores local histories, ... -
Integrating Biomedical Engineering Research with Undergraduate Teaching – A Research-Teaching Nexus Approach
(Infonomics Society, 2022)The integration of research with undergraduate teaching can further enhance the third-level learning experience, by improving learners’ problem solving, critical inquiry and design thinking skills. Unfortunately, research ... -
