On the Stability of Periodic Solutions of Nonlinear Dispersive Equations
… indices for the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (gBBM) equation, as well as the generalized Camassa-Holm equation. Moreover, we prove a transverse instability result for the gBBM equation analogous to that for the gKdV.

Modulational instability in some shallow water wave models
… of shallow water wave models like Benjamin-Bona-Mahony and Camassa-Holm equations. We propose a bi-directional shallow water model which generalizes Whitham equation to contain the nonlinearities of nonlinear shallow water equations. The analysis yields a modulational instability index for each …

Application of Investment Theory to Sport Consumers: Predicting Intention to Continue or Reduce Commitment
… Psychological Commitment to Team (PCT) scale (Mahony, Madrigal, & Howard, 2000) and the Investment Model scale (Rusbult, Martz, & Agnew, 1998). The analysis indicated that reduced commitment is associated with low scores on scale items measuring both behavioural and attitudinal loyalty as well …

Spectacular political experiments: the constitution, mediation and performance of large-scale public participation execises
Foremost in contemporary debates about democratic renewal and the re-engagement of citizens in the polity are concerns about publicness and the modes of politics that may be suited to this task. In this thesis case studies of three large-scale public participation exercises are presented: a local …

The problem of domestic violence. Private violence and Public Policy
Introduction. The domestic life of domestic tyrants is one of the things which it is the most imperative on the law to interfere with. John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy. The violence which husbands inflict on their wives is different from other sorts of violence in that it normally …

Epistemic geographies of climate change: the IPCC and the spaces, boundaries and politics of knowing
Science, like other realms of human activity, has its geographies. It proceeds in and through space, and participates in the construction of the political and cultural geographies by which human interactions with the nonhuman come to be known, understood and governed. The phenomenon of climate …

Mitochondrial mechanisms in autism spectrum disorder: characterizing the neurotoxic effects of propionic acid in vitro
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition with a complex molecular aetiology shaped by genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. The poorly understood nature of ASD aetiology significantly impedes diagnosis and management of the condition, which substantially …

The Development And Validation Of An Acuity Tool In A Pediatric Outpatient Burn Clinic
<p>In outpatient settings, the role of nurses has shifted from episodic, reactive care to management of patients with higher acuity. In a pediatric outpatient clinic specializing in burn injuries, it became apparent that the lack of an acuity tool to measure patient complexity challenged efficient …

Investigation into the mechanism of acicular ferrite nucleation in steel weld metal
Although steel with its high strength and toughness has been used extensively in all facets of construction, the joining of steels through welding has been problematic at best. The weld itself is the weakest part in any structure. This belief has been pervasive until recently when a microstructure …

A temporal investigation of Europe-wide drivers of cockle Cerastoderma edule biology, health and population dynamics
The common cockle Cerastoderma edule is an economically, ecologically and culturally important bivalve species and provides a range of ecosystem services. However, increasing reports of cockle mass mortalities, coinciding with reduced harvests, are a concern for various stakeholders. The factors …

A hybrid approach towards on-chip visible lasers
In recent years, the world of nanostructured optically active materials has expanded to include organic molecules; colloidal nanocrystals such as quantum dots, quantum rods, and quantum wells or nanoplatelets; perovskite semiconductors; and perovskite nanocrystals. A key feature of these materials …

Aggregate potential of Irish south coast offshore palaeovalleys
The southern shelf of offshore Ireland possesses many developed marine based resources such as hydrocarbons and commercial fisheries. Increasing knowledge of the seabed and the processes that cause large scale variation to the morphology and sedimentology is crucial in determining marine aggregate …

A phenomenological study to explore individuals’ experience of depression
Numerous epidemiological findings suggest that we live in an era that can only be described as the “age of melancholy” in that more and more individuals are diagnosed with depression every year. The aim of this study was to gain a phenomenological understanding of how individuals who experienced …

Broadening public input into science policy decision making: can the democratic model for science communication influence scientific, innovation and technological trajectories?
This PhD thesis investigates the potential use of science communication models to engage a broader swathe of actors in decision making in relation to scientific and technological innovation in order to address possible democratic deficits in science and technology policy-making. A four-pronged …
