Comparison of physico chemical and sensory properties of innovative fish spread emulsions manufactured using herring (Clupea harengus) milt, cod (Gadus morhua) roe and plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) roe.
(2020-12)Typically, in Ireland, male and female marine fish gonads are either discarded at sea or processed onshore for low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing emulsion-based ... -
Developing Creativity in Computer Science Initial Teacher Education through Design Thinking
(ACM, 2020-09-03)Design thinking is a valuable component in teacher education enabling the development of creativity amongst the cohort. Studies have been developed to capture the effects of discipline specific design thinking, however ... -
Adding value to under-utilised fish roe in Ireland: a comparison of physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of salted air-dried roe from Irish pollock (Pollachius pollachius) with commercial mullet and cod roe products (Mugil cephalus and Gadus morhua).
(2019)In Ireland, fish roe is generally either discarded at sea or processed as low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing a fish roe product to add value to this currently underutilised ... -

Exploring applications of deep reinforcement learning for real-world autonomous driving systems
(2019-01)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has become increasingly powerful in recent years, with notable achievements such as Deepmind’s AlphaGo. It has been successfully deployed in commercial vehicles like Mobileye’s path ... -
Analysing the Effects of Reward Shaping in Multi-Objective Stochastic Games
(2017-05)The majority ofMulti-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) implementations aim to optimise systems with respect to a single objective, despite the fact that many real world problems are inherently multi-objective in nature. ... -
A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Reward Transformations in Multi-Objective Stochastic Games
(2017)Reward shaping has been proposed as a means to address the credit assignment problem in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Two popular shaping methods are Potential-Based Reward Shaping and di erence rewards, and both have been ... -
Spatial separation of catches in highly mixed fisheries
(nature.com, 2018-09-17)Mixed fisheries are the dominant type of fishery worldwide. Overexploitation in mixed fisheries occurs when catches continue for available quota species while low quota species are discarded. As EU fisheries management ... -
Colonisation of artificially cleared Laminaria digitata (Huds.) Lamour. by the blue-rayed limpet Helcion pellucidum (L.) (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
(1996)The blue-rayed Helcion pellucidum is a herbivorous mollusc found on intertidal and sublittoral laminarian algae. -
A java library for fuzzy string matching
(2012)We describe the design and structure of a Java library for approximate string matching. The API provides a rich variety of flexible and extensible fuzzy data structures, including lists, tries and maps that support approximate ... -
An integrated approach to comparative assembly
(2014)We describe a novel approach to comparative assembly that directly integrates anchoring alignments into the contig assembly process, enabling the extension of contig construction through the boundaries of repeat nodes in ... -
Fast and accurate genome anchoring using fuzzy hash maps
(2011)Although hash-based approaches to sequence alignment and genome assembly are long established, their utility is predicated on the rapid identification of exact k-mers from a hash-map or similar data structure. We describe ... -
Crustaceans and biodiversity crisis
(1998)Talitrid amphipod crustaceans were recorded at about 240 sites around ireland using both published records and recent seashore surveys. Five species were present, the beachfleas Orchestia gammarellus and O. mediterranea, ... -
Bivalve ligament - a new source of DNA for historical studies
(Aquatic Biology, 2007-12)Bivalves are aquatic animals enclosed in 2 rigid shells that are held together by a hinge ligament. Features of the shell valves are important in taxonomy, and museums hold global collections of catalogued fossil, historical ... -
Population dynamics, age, growth and maturity of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled between 2000-2002 off the west coast of Ireland
(Marine Institute, 2006)The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sale (Microstomus kin), from commercial catches off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), was determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. ... -
iNKT-cells and their ligands: focus on multiple sclerosis
(2015)The cells of the immune system are broadly divided into those that belong to the innate arm of immunity and those that belong to the adaptive immune system(1) The innate immune cells include macrophages, dendritic cells ... -
Marine fauna of county Wexford, Ireland: the fauna of rocky shores and sandy beaches
(The Marine Institute, 1998)Information accumulated during 20 years of investigations on the coast of County Wexford is summarised. Topics include shore descriptions, faunal records, transectal surveys on rocky shores and sandy beaches, cryptofaunal ...
