A profile of Irish second year post-primary students’ knowledge of initial algebra
(2021-12)This research focuses on initial algebra as students transition from arithmetic to algebra, an area of mathematics education known for its difficulties (Demonty et al., 2018; Kieran, 2007). Algebra is identified by many ... -
Treatment for the amelioration of persistent factors in complex anal fistula
(Springer, 2021-11-19)Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries. The complexity of this disease is ... -
Application of biomaterials for complex anal fistulae
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-07)Complex anal fistulae remain a challenge for the medical sector as conventional treatments put patients at risk of incontinence. Clinicians and researchers have become interested in the application of bioresorbable ... -
In vivo toxicity of bioreactor-grown biomass and exopolysaccharides from Malaysian tiger milk mushroom mycelium for potential future health applications
(Nature Research, 2021-11)Natural mycelial biomass (MB) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) of Malaysian tiger milk mushroom Lignosus rhinocerus are considered high-end components due to their high commercial potential value in drug discovery. This study ... -
Evaluation of titanium nitride coatings in bandsaw blades for wood splitting by cold plasma
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-06)Due to the advances in surface treatments, it is possible to obtain excellent cutting tools. However, the field for wood cutting tools still needs to be further investigated. In this work, titanium nitride was deposited ... -

Costing pressure ulcer care in an Irish acute care setting: a feasibility study
(Wiley, 2021-11)Objective: To test the feasibility of using a standardised data collection tool to estimate the cost of stage 2–4 pressure ulcer (PU) care within an acute care setting. Method: Data on resource use and cost were ... -
Perspectives on engineering education from the world of practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-16)This special issue on early career engineers responds to a key challenge in engineering education – that of bringing the largely separate worlds of engineering education and engineering practice closer together. There ... -
Upcycling biodegradable PVA/starch film to a bacterial biopigment and biopolymer
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)Meeting the challenge of circularity for plastics requires amenability to repurposing post-use, as equivalent or upcycled products. In a compelling advancement, complete circularity for a biodegradable polyvinyl ... -
GRU-based deep learning approach for network intrusion alert prediction
(Elsevier, 2021-11)The exponential growth in the number of cyber attacks in the recent past has necessitated active research on network intrusion detection, prediction and mitigation systems. While there are numerous solutions available for ... -

(2021-05-26)My motivation for doing the Digital Badge in UDL was to learn how to use the principles and practices of UDL to encourage students to actively engage in using library resources, by embracing and formally embedding UDL into ... -
Study of direct gas injection into stagnation zone of blunt nose at hypersonic flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-07-28)Direct gas injection in the shocked or compressed region has importance in many applications from drag control to ignition and pressure gain combustion. This numerical study is focused on direct light gas injection into ... -
Novel mechanism of instability control using tapered spike in hypersonic flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-08-02)A forward facing spiked blunt nose in high-speed flows is associated with pulsating flow behavior of varying amplitudes depending on spike-nose and length, the forebody geometry and flow conditions. A tapered spike has ... -
Numerical investigation of detonation propagation through small orifice holes
(Sciendo, 2021)Seeking to better understand the physical phenomena underlying detonation wave propagation through small holes (especially the phenomenon of detonation re-initiation or its failure), we investigated the propagation of a ... -
Enhancing Literacy and Numeracy Training
(2021-08-30)Ireland has always prided itself on having a ‘world class’ education system. However, this was called into question when The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published the results from its ... -
