Phlorotannins and Macroalgal Polyphenols: Potential As Functional Food Ingredients and Role in Health Promotion
(Springer, Singapore, 2018-01)Marine macroalgae are rapidly gaining recognition as a source of functional ingredients that can be used to promote health and prevent disease. There is accumulating evidence from in vitro studies, animal models, and ... -
Fat saturation has no effect on glycaemic or satiety response to a high GI carbohydrate meal in healthy women
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)Elevated dietary intake of processed, high glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrates is associated with an increased risk of developingchronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and cancer(1,2). The ... -
Development of culturally appropriate low GI breakfast meals for Asian populations
(Proceedings of The Nutrition Society, 2015-01)Asian populations are known to be at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and are therefore recommended to choose low glycaemic index (GI) foods(1). Current dietetic practice in Australia provides dietary ... -
Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials
(Nutrients, 2016-03)Dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form during heating and processing of food products and are widely prevalent in the modern Western diet. Recent systematic reviews indicate that consumption of dietary AGEs ... -
The Impact of a Single Dose of a Polyphenol-Rich Seaweed Extract on Postprandial Glycaemic Control in Healthy Adults: A Randomised Cross-Over Trial
(Nutrients, 2018-02)This study investigated the impact of a polyphenol-rich seaweed extract on postprandial glycaemia in healthy adults, and, as a secondary outcome, the influence of ethnicity on these outcomes. Thirty-eight volunteers (26 ... -
Study protocol for a double-blind randomised controlled trial investigating the impact of 12 weeks supplementation with a Fucus vesiculosus extract on cholesterol levels in adults with elevated fasting LDL cholesterol who are overweight or have obesity
(BMJ Open, 2018-12)Introduction Hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycaemia and chronic inflammation are risk factors for chronic diseases cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Polyphenols are bioactive compounds found in marine algae with potential ... -
A Single-Dose of a Polyphenol-Rich Fucus Vesiculosus Extract is In sufficient to Blunt the Elevated Postprandial Blood Glucose Responses Exhibited by Healthy Adults in the Evening: A Randomised Crossover Trial
(Antioxidants, 2019-02-24)When healthy adults consume carbohydrates at night, postprandial blood glucose responses are elevated and prolonged compared to daytime.Extended postprandial hyperglycaemia is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Polyphenols ... -
Equilibria in Multi-Objective Games: a Utility-Based Perspective
(Adaptive and Learning Agents Workshop, 2019)In multi-objective multi-agent systems (MOMAS), agents explicitly consider the possible tradeoffs between conflicting objective functions. We argue that compromises between competing objectives in MOMAS should be analysed ... -
Scale Growth Analysis of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus) Unlocking Environmental Histories
(Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, 2018-09)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations have declined rapidly in recent years across all geographical ranges with populations becoming extinct within certain areas. Direct observation of the salmon’s life is difficult ... -
Vulnerable road user detection: state-of-the-art and open challenges
(2019)Correctly identifying vulnerable road users (VRUs), e.g. cyclists and pedestrians, remains one of the most challenging environment perception tasks for autonomous vehicles (AVs). This work surveys the current state-of-the-art ... -
Curriculum Learning for Tightly Coupled Multiagent Systems
(2019)In this paper,we leverage curriculum learning(CL) to improve the performance of multiagent systems(MAS) that are trained with the cooperative coevolution of artificial neural networks. We design curricula to progressively ... -
Proposing an Innovation-Based View of the Firm
(2018-12-12)The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature on theories of the firm and argues for the importance of an innovation based view (IBV). In doing so, it examines the incumbent management theories of the firm, ... -
Thermo King Carbon Neutral Production Line Project
(2019-03)This paper describes an ongoing collaboration between Thermo King and the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, in the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). The company has an operation in Galway where ... -
The Philosophy of Innovation in Management Education: A Study utilising Aristotle’s Concept of Phronesis
(2019)While much has been written on phronesis, there is a dearth of empirical work on the how the concept can be developed and implemented in practice, particularly in an educational setting. To address this problem, characteristics ... -
An evaluation of the design and use of applied visual interactive resources for teaching building regulations in higher education built environment programmes
(2019-01)This research is situated in the field of higher education teaching and learning and specifically relates to building regulation pedagogy. A research gap has been identified with scope to develop online visual building ... -
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BLENDED LEARNING USING ‘MOODLE’ WITH FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
(GMIT RESEARCH E-JOURNAL, 2017)This research uses a developmental evaluation to conduct an evaluation for knowledge on the effectiveness of blended learning using ‘Moodle’ within the learning context of whether a blended pedagogy could benefit a traditional ... -
A Critical Evaluation of the Integration of a Blended Learning Approach into a Multimedia Applications Module
(AISHE-J, 2018)The concept of blended learning is not new. While research articles have outlined blending learning approaches across a number of disciplines, research studies on how blended learning design principles are implemented ... -
Finishing Framework in the Irish Furniture Industry
(2008-04)This thesis originated from the desire of the author to develop a tool to assist Irish furniture manufacturers in meeting the requirements set out in the volatile organic compounds (voc) directive. The introduction of this ... -
Potential Utilisation of Irish grown Alnus glutinosa and Eucalyptus spp.
(2008)Over the past century forestry cover in Ireland has risen from a low of 0.5% of total land area to approximately 10% today. This has been achieved through an afforestation policy which concentrated on exotic coniferous ... -
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 ...
