Combining engineering and qualitative models to fault diagnosis in air handling units
(IOS Press, 2014-08-18)This paper presents a methodology for model-based fault localization and identification that exploits both numerical (Modelica) models and a qualitative model-based approach to diagnosis. It has been applied to diagnosis ... -
Community engaged learning: A building engineering case study
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-28)ABSTRACT: Community engaged learning is a form of experiential education with a civic underpinning. Community engaged learning is embedded with the civil engineering curriculum at NUI Galway and is framed by a research ... -
Comparing coronary stent material performance on a common geometric platform through simulated bench testing
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2012-03-02)Absorbable metallic stents (AMSs) are a newly emerging cardiovascular technology which has the potential to eliminate long-term patient health risks associated with conventional permanent stents. AMSs developed to date ... -
Comparing how entrepreneurs and managers represent the elements of the business model canvas
(Elsevier, 2018-03-03)This paper uses self-efficacy to compare how entrepreneurs and managers represent the nine elements of the business model canvas (BMC; Osterwalder, 2004). A six-item efficacy scale was developed to measure each element. ... -
Comparison of a stratified and a single-layer laboratory sand filter to treat dairy soiled water from a farm-scale woodchip filter
(Springer, 2014-04)Washing-down parlours and standing areas, following milking on dairy farms, produces dairy soiled water (DSW) that contains variable concentrations of nutrients. Aerobic woodchip filters can remove organic matter, nutrients ... -
A comparison of automatic labelling approaches for sentiment analysis
(SciTePress, 2022-07-11)Labelling a large quantity of social media data for the task of supervised machine learning is not only time-consuming but also difficult and expensive. On the other hand, the accuracy of supervised machine learning models ... -
Comparison of coaxial open-ended probe based dielectric measurements on ex-vivo thermally ablated liver tissue
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)This paper compares an in-house dielectric properties measurement system based on the "Stuchly and Stuchly" method with the broadly commercialised Keysight setup and existing literature for the characterization of ablated ... -
Comparison of high temperature chars of wheat straw and rice husk with respect to chemistry, morphology and reactivity
(Elsevier, 2016-03-02)Fast pyrolysis of wheat straw and rice husk was carried out in an entrained flow reactor at high-temperatures (1000–1500) °C. The collected char was analyzed using X-ray diffractometry, N2-adsorption, scanning electron ... -
Comparison of in-vivo and ex-vivo dielectric properties of biological tissues
(Curran Associates Proceedings, 2017-09-11)Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues are crucial for various applications such as assessment of specific absorption rate and safety of electromagnetic medical devices. Most of the ... -
A Comparison of Petri Net and System Dynamics Approaches for Modelling Dynamic Feedback Systems
(2006)Petri nets are a valuable tool that can be used to simulate workflow systems. They are based on a state-transition approach, and in common with discrete event simulation, events can be scheduled to fire at different time ... -
Comparison of radar-based microwave imaging algorithms applied to experimental breast phantoms
(Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale, 2017-08-19)Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the early detection of breast cancer. The two most important signal processing components of a radar-based microwave imaging system are the early-time artifact removal ... -
A comparison of student outcomes from an internet-based inventory simulation
(Western Decision Sciences Institute, 1999-04-06)The increasing globalization and global integration of national economies suggests the necessity of developing pedagogy that infuses global content throughout the business school curriculum. Business school graduates need ... -
Comparison of three buck topologies for wide output voltage applications
(IEEE, 2023-05-31)This paper investigates the suitability of three step-down dc-dc converter topologies as the final conversion stage in a wide output voltage modular ac-dc power supply. Single-phase, two-phase and three-level buck converters ... -
A comparison of two quasi-static computational models for assessment of intra-myocardial injection as a therapeutic strategy for heart failure
(Wiley, 2019-05-06)Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, is the leading cause of mortality globally. Although the treatment of myocardial infarct has improved significantly, scar tissue that persists can often lead to increased stress and ... -
A comparison of assisted human reproduction (AHR) regulation in Ireland with other developed countries
(BMC Part of Springer Nature, 2022-03-05)Assisted human reproduction (AHR) treatment is not regulated in Ireland although it has been practised since 1987. Thus, Ireland is one of the only European countries without any form of AHR specific regulation. This ... -
