The general spread of water safety awareness and enforcement often masks the escalating risks of emerging contaminants (ECs) that evade standard detection and monitoring techniques. Traditional monitoring infrastructures depend heavily on localized laboratory-based testing, which is expensive, time-consuming, and reliant on specialized infrastructure and skilled personnel. While specific types of ECs and detection technologies have been examined in numerous studies, a significant gap remains in compiling and commenting on this information in a concise framework that incorporates global impact and monitoring strategies. We aimed to compile and highlight the impact ECs have on global water safety and how advanced sensor …

Bending Energy Schemes For Discrete-Spring-Network Structural Modelling Of Red Blood Cells, Osayomwanbor Ehi-Egharevba, Mingzhu Chen, Fergal Boyle
Articles
Red blood cells (RBCs) undergo large structural deformation, including bending, when passing through capillaries. They also exhibit a range of complex shapes such as stomatocytes, discocytes and echinocytes that form due to altered blood pH and salt levels, ingested drugs and adenosine triphosphate depletion. Discrete-spring-network structural models of RBCs employ different numerical treatments of the continuum bending energy. This affects bending accuracy and the prediction of accurate RBC shapes. This research compares three representations called bending energy scheme (BES) A, B and C to evaluate their accuracy in shape predictions. BES A, seen throughout the literature, is based on the …

Why The Irish Don’T Eat Offal, Niall Toner
Why The Irish Don’T Eat Offal, Niall Toner
European Journal of Food Drink and Society
In the past fifty years or so, the diverse and colourful displays of animal offal and organ meats that used to be seen in butchers’ shop windows in Ireland, as well as in the UK and America, have all but disappeared. In Ireland, which has seen a gastronomic renaissance in more recent times, these traditional foodstuffs appear to have been slow to return to our plates. But have offal and organ meats a place in the future of the cuisine, and can the increased consumption of offal and organ meats, produced locally, contribute towards a more sustainable food production system, …

The History Of Dublin Coddle And Its Significance As Part Of Ireland’S Intangible Cultural Heritage, Sinéad Mcglynn, Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire
European Journal of Food Drink and Society
Dublin coddle is held in great affection by generations of Dubliners and is a significant cultural identifier, yet to date there has been little or no academic research into its historical origins. Dublin coddle is a divisive dish which appears to be linked with the capital city, with almost tribal associations, where other ‘tribes’ refuse to consume it. This study argues for the inclusion of Dublin coddle-making, a regional dish made with sausages, ham or bacon, potatoes and onions, as part of Ireland’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) as set out by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). …

Evaluating Response Calculation Methods For Thin And Volume Analog Holographic Wavefront Sensors, Emma Branigan, Andrew Lambert, Andreas Zepp, Szymon Gladysz, Suzanne Martin, Matthew Sheehan, Kevin Murphy
Research Outputs: 2025-Present
The modal analog holographic wavefront sensor (AHWFS) is a low-cost and high-speed solution for wavefront sensing. It uses a phase biasing approach, where a pair of holograms are biased with a known phase delay/advance. The aberration magnitude is determined by measuring the diffracted beam intensities from the hologram pair. Both thin and volume phase transmission holograms can be used. Thin gratings produce multiple diffracted orders, while volume gratings direct light into a single order. Sensor response is measured using photodiodes or cameras, though thin holograms require a small region of interest for sensitivity to changing aberration magnitudes. This work compares …

Sustainfed-Llm: Renewable Energy Aware Client Selection For Energy Efficient Federated Training Of Large Language Models, Sunbal Iftikhar, Hassan Khan, Steven Davy
Research Outputs: 2025-Present
Federated Learning (FL) offers a decentralized approach to training large language models (LLMs), addressing critical concerns around data privacy and transmission costs. However, FL's inherent distributed training paradigm can lead to increased energy consumption and carbon emissions, especially with random or uninformed client selection. To tackle this issue, we propose SustainFed-LLM, a novel Q-learning-based client selection framework that integrates real-time renewable energy availability, carbon intensity data, and fairness considerations. By dynamically assessing client performance, spare capacity, and sustainability metrics, SustainFed-LLM optimizes client participation to minimize environmental impact while maintaining model accuracy. SustainFed-LLM significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, …

Social virtual reality (VR) applications have become more ubiquitous in recent years; central to this is the communication pipeline, how users perceive virtual human facial expressions, and how they control them in real time, especially when using VR devices without face-tracking. We investigated both aspects in a set of experiments. Firstly, we compared the perception of virtual human emotions on a traditional 2D screen and in VR. In a second experiment, we used a validated set of stimuli to compare three different control methods for manipulating an avatar’s facial expressions in VR. These control methods utilize non-tracking control techniques, which …
