• Characterisation and improvement of the rehydration behaviour of high-protein milk powder 

  Wu, Shaozong (University College Cork, 2020-08-03)

  Milk protein isolate (MPI) has poor rehydration behaviours, particular in wetting and dissolution. The rehydration difficulty inhibited the achievement of MPI functionality. Methods were explored to solve rehydration ...
• Impacts, fate and trophic transfer of microplastics in the freshwater environment 

  Mateos-Cárdenas, Alicia (University College Cork, 2020-08-31)

  Microplastics (1–1000 μm) are now ubiquitous in all environments, including freshwater systems. Plastics of different sizes and shapes have been reported to be present in river and lake samples from the water column and ...
• The taphonomy of vertebrate melanosomes 

  Rossi, Valentina (University College Cork, 2020-08-31)

  The field of fossil colour is emerging rapidly as a new focus of palaeobiological research. Evidence of melanosomes, micron-sized organelles containing melanin, found in skin, feathers and hair of exceptionally preserved ...
• Parameter reduction in deep learning and classification 

  Browne, David (University College Cork, 2020-02-20)

  The goal of this thesis is to develop methods to reduce model and problem complexity in the area of classification tasks. Whether it is a traditional or a deep learning classification task, decreasing complexity helps ...
• Feasibility study for the production of novel galacto-oligosaccharides based on Bifidobacterial β-galactosidases 

  Ambrogi, Valentina (University College Cork, 2020-04)

  Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are complex carbohydrates that are produced from lactose by means of an enzymatic reaction catalised by a β-galactosidase. Together with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin, GOS have ...
