Host based intrusion detection system with combined CNN/RNN model.
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)Cyber security has become one of the most challenging as- pects of modern world digital technology and it has become imperative to minimize and possibly avoid the impact of cybercrimes. Host based intrusion detection ... -
Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent metallic ... -
Extruded monofilament and multifilament thermoplastic stitching yarns.
(MDPI, 2017-12)Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites offer significant improvement in overall material strength to weight, when compared with metals traditionally used in engineering. As a result, they are replacing metals where ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of novel n-vinyl pyrrolidinone/acrylic acid copolymers for use in biomedical applications.
(2006)The aim of this study was to develop a novel hydrophilic polymer for use in biomedical applications. The polymers synthesised in this work were based on the monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidinone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AA) and ... -
Development of novel monolithic matrices for drug delivery using conventional and non-conventional polymer processing technologies.
(2007)The aim of this study was to produce a range of polymer based monolithic matrices for controlled oral drug delivery using conventional polymer processing equipment. Poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) was chosen as the primary ... -
Development of novel hydrogel based composites for bone tissue engineering applications.
(2013)The process of tissue engineering involves replacing and assisting in the healing of damaged tissues. Specifically for bone tissue repair, a clinical demand has developed for alternative materials to replace the existing ... -
Investigation of ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide for dissolution enhancement of hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2018-02)The optimal design of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations requires the use of excipients to maintain supersaturation and improve physical stability in order to ensure shelf-life stability and better absorption ... -
Minimum wear duration for the activPAL™ Professional Activity Monitor in Adolescent Females.
(Human Kinetics, 2017)Objectives: This study aims to determine the minimum number of days of monitoring required to reliably predict sitting/lying time, standing time, light intensity physical activity (LIPA), moderate-to-vigorous intensity ... -
Activity profiles and the associations with weight status in population studies of young children: are there gender differences?
(Human Kinetics, 2017-02)Purpose: Profiling activity behaviors in young children is important to understand changes in weight status over time. The purpose of this study is to identify activity profiles from self- and parental-reported Physical ... -
Simultaneous validation of five activity monitors for use in adult populations.
(Wiley, 2017-12)Numerous cut-points exist to measure physical activity by accelerometry. The ability to compare accelerometer findings from different devices from different locations may be advantageous to researchers. This study aimed ... -
The cross-sectional associations between objectively measured sedentary time and cardiometabolic health markers in adults – a systematic review with meta-analysis component.
(Wiley, 2018)Sedentary time is viewed as an independent risk factor for adverse cardiometabolic health (CMH). No systematic review and meta-analysis on the cross-sectional asso-ciations between objectively measured sedentary time and ... -
Pulsed-light reduces the toxicity of the algal toxin okadaic acid to freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex.
(Springer, 2018-01)This constitutes the first study to report on the reduction in toxicity of the dinoflagellate algal toxin okadaic acid after novel pulsed light (PL) treatments where ecotoxicological assessment was performed using a ... -
Detection, toxicology, environmental fate and risk assessment of nanoparticles in the aquatic environment (DeTER)
(EPA, 2018)Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that has the potential to impact on all aspects of life and the economy and is expected to form the basis of several technological innovations and advances in the 21st century. ... -
MR-Edge: a MapReduce-based Protocol for IoT Edge Computing with resource constraints.
(IEEE Xplore, 2019)Edge computing is proposed to remedy the Cloud-only processing architecture for Internet of Things (IoT) because of the massive amounts of IoT data. The challenge is how to deploy and execute data processing tasks ... -
Investigation of miscibility estimation methods between indomethacin and poly(vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate).
(Elsevier, 2018)The investigation of the miscibility between active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) and polymeric excipients is of great interest for the formulation and development of amorphous solid dispersions, especially in the ... -
Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)This study examined fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency among male (N=216) and female (N=198) Irish primary school pupils from Year 2 to Year 7 (9.0 ± 1.7 years). Following anthropometric measurements, participants ... -
