(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1992-01-01) -
Improved simulation of small electron fields for external beam radiation therapy
(2009)This paper reports on improved simulation of small electron fields from a Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Accelerator simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo user code BEAMnrc. Source and geometry parameters ... -
Improved techniques for time synchronisation over WiFi and wireless sensor networks
(2013-10-23)Time synchronisation plays a key and ever increasing role in this progressively networked world. Whilst time synchronisation has always been important in industrial and telecommunication systems, its importance has now ... -
An improved unified viscoplastic model for strain-rate sensitivity in high temperature fatigue
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-11-21)An improved unified cyclic viscoplastic material model for high temperature fatigue of P91 steel is presented. The primary enhancement over existing models is in relation to strain-rate independence of parameters, for ... -
Improved, high-throughput approach for phosphorus speciation in natural sediments via the sedex sequential extraction method
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-04-27)A novel approach for implementation of sequential extraction methods using a multisample, solid-phase extraction manifold (SPExMan) successfully addresses several chronic problems typical of sequential extraction methods, ... -
Improvement of sludge dewaterability using filamentous fungi and energy recovery from thermal treatment of sludge
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-20)Nowadays, the increasing production of municipal sludge requires effective and suitable disposal methods. The commonly used methods include thickening, dewatering, anaerobic digestion, composting, and thermal treatment. ... -
Improving antimicrobial prescribing in irish primary care through electronic data collection and surveillance: a feasibility study
(Springer Nature, 2015-07-02)Background: The increase in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens and limited availability of new antimicrobials places immense pressure on general practitioners (GPs) to prescribe appropriately. ... -
Improving antimicrobial prescribing: a multinomial model identifying factors associated with first- and second-line prescribing
(Elsevier, 2018-12-13)Background/objectives: Broad-spectrum, second-line antimicrobials may be prescribed when initial first-line options prove ineffective. This study compares prescribing practices and identifies potential influencing factors ... -
Improving cfd prediction of drag on paralympic tandem athletes: influence of grid resolution and turbulence model
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-30)Tandem cycling enables visually impaired athletes to compete in cycling in the Paralympics. Tandem aerodynamics can be analysed by track measurements, wind-tunnel experiments and numerical simulations with computational ... -
Improving consumer decision making through preference relaxation.
(2010)In online shopping scenarios, it can be difficult for consumers to process large amounts of information and make a good purchase decision, particularly for multiattributed products selection. Interactive decision aids that ... -
Improving consumers’ willingness to pay using social media activities
(Emerald, 2018-10-05)Purpose: This study examines the impact of social media activities on consumers willingness to pay a premium (WTPp) in the banking industry, and investigates the role of consumer-brand identification (CBI) on this ... -
Improving customer decisions using product reviews: CROM - Car Review Opinion Miner
(2010-04-07)Online shopping is a very goal-oriented activity. Consumers have a set of preferences for a product or service that is used as criteria for assessment of the available alternatives. However, crucial information about ... -
