Department of Computer Science Publications

Ireland's small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face a critical cyber resilience gap. SMEs account for 99.8% of all enterprises in Ireland and employ over 2.29 million people, representing 67.9% of total employment (based on the latest CSO 2022 figures). This cyber resilience assessment reveals that the majority of SMEs remain underprepared for modern cyber threats.


Seagrass Carbon Standing Stock In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico: The Role Of Seagrass Beds In Mississippi As Potential Blue Carbon Sinks, Devan Hildebrand Dec 2025

Seagrass Carbon Standing Stock In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico: The Role Of Seagrass Beds In Mississippi As Potential Blue Carbon Sinks, Devan Hildebrand

Master's Theses

Organic carbon stored in marine ecosystems is known as blue carbon. Seagrass beds have the ability to contribute to global blue carbon standing stocks through the uptake and sequestration of carbon from the water column. Through coastal management and conservation best practices, blue carbon habitats have the potential to help mitigate the effects of climate change. Although widely studied, knowledge gaps exist on the sediment carbon standing stock of seagrasses. I aim to better understand how persistent seagrass meadows surrounding barrier islands in the northcentral Gulf of Mexico contribute to long-term blue carbon standing stocks. Subaqueous sediment cores were collected …


Hyaluronic Acid Loaded With Aloe Vera-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: A New Bioactive Approach For Fibrotic Scarring, Maria Camila Ceballos Santa Dec 2025

Hyaluronic Acid Loaded With Aloe Vera-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: A New Bioactive Approach For Fibrotic Scarring, Maria Camila Ceballos Santa

Theses

Disruptions in wound healing can result in pathological outcomes ranging from chronic nonhealing wounds to excessive fibrotic scarring. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are hallmarks of this dysregulation, characterized by abnormal collagen deposition, persistent myofibroblast activation, and disorganized extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress play central roles by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage essential macromolecules and sustain pro-inflammatory signaling, while promoting the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and the excessive production of ECM proteins, such as collagen and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). This fibrotic cascade leads to tissue stiffness, contractility, and disfigurement, affecting the well-being of …

This project focuses on data analytics and predictive modeling to detect suspicious or high-risk employee behaviors related to corruption and bribery. The main objective is to reduce these unethical activities in government sectors, strengthen integrity, and promote transparency and public trust through predictive capabilities. It also seeks to raise awareness about how serious and harmful these crimes …


Predictive Maintenance For It Equipment Using Machine Learning Models, Rashed Khalid Alshirawi Dec 2025

Predictive Maintenance For It Equipment Using Machine Learning Models, Rashed Khalid Alshirawi

Theses

Predictive maintenance was recently introduced as a paradigm shift in the field of smart manufacturing, and it allows organizations to predict equipment failures and streamline maintenance planning based on the data-driven insights. The present work addresses the concept of the implementation of a decision tree-based predictive maintenance model based on AI4I 2020 Predictive Maintenance Dataset, a simulated environment of an actual industry through sensor data including temperature, torque, rotational velocity, and toolwear. The study uses a quantitative approach that is based on positivism philosophy, which is the focus on objectivity, empirical validation, and statistical testing of the model performance. Synthetic …


Predicting Inmate Overcrowding To Improve Facility Management, Mayed Ali Alameri Dec 2025

Predicting Inmate Overcrowding To Improve Facility Management, Mayed Ali Alameri

Theses

Overcrowding is a major challenge to correction systems because the conventional forecasting techniques are inaccurate and inadequate in most cases. This paper will solve this by constructing and testing a machine learning-based model to predict facility-level overcrowding. With the use of the XGBoost Regressor model on a dataset comprising of U.S. correctional facilities, the research identified key structural drivers but showed that the static facility attributes alone have limited predictive power (r-square approx 0.18) The discussion shows that overcrowding is non-linear, and a complicated problem not confined to the facility characteristics but to the larger, non-measurable regional influences, of which …


Strainx : A Technical Exploration Of Cinema4d'S Native Particle System In An Experimental Title Sequence, Farah Ahmad Dec 2025

Strainx : A Technical Exploration Of Cinema4d'S Native Particle System In An Experimental Title Sequence, Farah Ahmad

Theses

This paper presents a practice-based investigation into the capabilities of Cinema 4D’s native particle system through the creation of an experimental title sequence titled StrainX. The project was conceived as a technical and aesthetic exploration, prioritizing abstraction, form, and motion over narrative content. Through iterative testing and simulation, the study examines how Cinema 4D’s built-in particle, geometry, and material tools can generate visually complex results without relying on third-party plugins, such as X-Particles. All assets, simulations, and textures were developed natively within Cinema 4D, allowing for a unified and efficient workflow. The methodology emphasizes procedural experimentation, simulation caching using Alembic …


Spotted Seal Coastal Haul Out Behavior In Arctic Alaska, Maeghan Connor Dec 2025

Spotted Seal Coastal Haul Out Behavior In Arctic Alaska, Maeghan Connor

Biological Sciences

Hauling out - the act of exiting the water to rest, molt, breed, and pup on solid surfaces - is a key behavior of pinnipeds worldwide. Unlike other ice seals (i.e., ice-associated phocid species), spotted seals (Phoca largha) in Alaska frequently use terrestrial substrates to haul out during the summer and fall open-water period in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Despite being a core aspect of spotted seal ecology, their terrestrial haul out behavior remains understudied. To address this, we analyzed data collected from 2020 - 2022 near two known haul out sites in Dease Inlet, Alaska, including time-lapse camera …

A Gis Method To Analyze Trajectories Of Gross Changes Through Multiple Temporal Resolutions With An Application To Brazilian Soybean Cultivation, Thomas Mumuni Bilintoh, Robert Gilmore Pontius, Gustavo Oliveira, Julia Shimbo Dec 2025

A Gis Method To Analyze Trajectories Of Gross Changes Through Multiple Temporal Resolutions With An Application To Brazilian Soybean Cultivation, Thomas Mumuni Bilintoh, Robert Gilmore Pontius, Gustavo Oliveira, Julia Shimbo

Geography

Our manuscript presents Trajectory Analysis, which is a novel method to characterize patterns of gross changes during a time series of raster maps. This manuscript is our first article to elaborate on concepts and features of Trajectory Analysis that are necessary to analyze more than two time intervals. The method computes up to eight trajectories and three components of change: Quantity, Exchange, and Alternation. Quantity is the absolute net change between the two time points that bound the temporal extent. Exchange is the additional gross change between the same two time points. Alternation is the additional gross change that derives …
