Development of a global energy management system (GEMS) for the life sciences industry
(NUI Galway, 2015-08)For multi-national companies, assessment of cost effective energy efficiency projects across a global site base is a complex problem involving multiple variables. This research project proposes a novel methodology for ... -
Development of a Global Energy Management System for non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations: A methodology
(Elsevier, 2017-01-25)For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem. This work presents the ... -
Development of a global energy management system for the life sciences industry: an energy management maturity model implementation
(NUI Galway, 2015-11)The Global Energy Management System (GEMS) research project proposes a novel methodology for assessing capital energy-efficiency projects at a global level. The paper scope covers the systematic development and implementation ... -
The development of a lean six sigma and BIM framework for enhancing off-site manufacturing
(Emerald, 2023-05-12)This project aims to improve a construction company's overall project delivery by utilising Lean Six sigma methods combined with Business Information Modeling (BIM) to design, modularise and manufacture various building ... -
Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ... -
Development of a structured on-the-job training model
(2007)This paper examines the potential of using knowledge management in developing a structured on-the-job training programme. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, multiple sources of evidence were collected from ... -
The development of a supplier performance evaluation tool
(2005)As product life cycles continue to shrink and global competition increases, manufacturers are outsourcing what they consider to be non-strategic activities in order to focus on their core competencies. Consequently these ... -
Development of high-resolution multi-scale modelling system for simulation of coastal-fluvial urban flooding
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-02-16)Urban developments in coastal zones are often exposed to natural hazards such as flooding. In this research, a state-of-the-art, multi-scale nested flood (MSN_Flood) model is applied to simulate complex coastal-fluvial ... -
Development of life assessment procedures for power plant headers operated under flexible loading scenarios
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-12-22)A finite element methodology for thermo-mechanical fatigue analysis of a subcritical power plant outlet header under realistic loading conditions is presented. The methodology consists of (i) a transient heat transfer ... -
Development of the meshless finite volume particle method with exact and efficient calculation of interparticle area
(Elsevier, 2014-02-18)The Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is a meshless method based on a definition of interparticle area which is closely analogous to cell face area in the classical finite volume method. In previous work, the interparticle ... -
Diagnostic definitions and figures of male and female Tetanocera punctifrons and T. latifibula, new records of T. punctifrons in Ireland, and notes on biology (Diptera, Sciomyzidae).
(The Society for the study of flies (Diptera) affiliated to the British Entomological and Natural History Society (BENHS), 2017)The presence of Tetanocera punctifrons Rondani, 1868 in Ireland is reconfirmed.
