Development of a Two-Dimensional Estuarine Hydrodynamic Model in Cylindrical Co-ordinates
(2014-02-03)Development of a novel two-dimensional estuarine hydrodynamic model in cylindrical co-ordinates is presented herein. The full non-linear Navier-Stokes equations are written in cylindrical co-ordinates with the advantage ... -
Development of an efficient dynamically nested model for tidal hydraulics and solute transport
(2010-06)Numerical modelling of coastal zones typically requires a high spatial resolution to accurately simulate land-sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines. As a result, the computational cost of coastal ... -
Ergonomic Analysis of Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorder Risk to Plasterers Working in Ireland
(2012-12-19)As a consequence of the organisational nature of the construction industry, and due to the dynamic nature of construction activities, construction workers are exposed to Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) risk ... -
Evolution of Groups for Common Pool Resource Sharing
(2013-09-27)This thesis concerns the creation of groups of characters which, through the use simple actions, cooperate and coordinate to survive together. These groups are created automatically using Evolutionary Computation methods. A ... -
An FPGA-based stereoscopic camera - electronic design tools and techniques
(IEEE, 2010-08-05)Electronic design tools and techniques for the implementation of a stereoscopic camera based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are presented. The stages of an IPP (Image Processing Pipeline) are presented together ... -
Improving the sensitivity of radar-based breast imaging algorithms in diverse patient populations
(NUI Galway, 2018-09-03)Radar-based imaging is an emerging modality for breast cancer screening. Two commercial radar-based imaging devices are being tested in patient imaging studies. Promising initial results have highlighted the potential of ... -
Investigations into assimilating high-frequency radar data into a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of a wind-dominated coastal water body
(2015-10)Accurate forecasting of surface currents in coastal waters is of great importance for operations such as search and rescue operations and marine energy extraction. Numerical models and measurements are two powerful ... -
Non-invasive time sampled venous pressure detection for research and clinical applications
(2014-09)The venous system of the lower limbs has unique anatomy that provides a skeletal muscle pump for the transport of blood against the hydrostatic gradient of erect postures. This muscle pump enables the regulation of venous ... -
Numerical and analytical modelling of friction pile group settlement performance in clay
(2015-01-27)Over the past couple of decades, the focus of foundation design has shifted from ultimate limit state to serviceability limit state, particularly where ground conditions are challenging. Nowadays, the serviceability of a ... -
Numerical modelling of small groups of stone columns
(2012-09-21)Vibro stone columns, installed using the vibro replacement technique, are a cost effective form of ground improvement for enhancing the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of various soil types. Large groups ... -
An open framework for multi-source, cross-domain personalisation with semantic interest graphs
(2014-12-28)The work in this thesis addresses new challenges and opportunities for online personalisation posed by the emergence of new infrastructures for sharing user preferences and for access to open repositories of data. As a ... -
Optimizing the QoS of VoIP applications over WiFi through use of synchronized time
(2015-01-31)With a rapidly increasing volume of Internet content and connected devices, along with the development of cloud services and server virtualization, it's becoming clear that traditional network architectures are becoming ...
