The evolution of behaviours in swarms of robots
(NUI Galway, 2019-12-09)
Evolutionary swarm robotics uses evolutionary computational techniques to synthesise behaviours for a group of autonomous robots. In a swarm of robots, the collective behaviour of the robots results from the local interactions ...
A scalable spatio-temporal query processing engine for linked sensor data
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-25)
The ever-increasing amount of Internet of Things (IoT) data emanating from sensors and mobile devices is creating new capabilities and unprecedented economic opportunity for individuals, organizations, and states. To fully ...
Developing health and safety guidance for geodetic engineering surveyors
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-21)
Geodetic engineering surveyors are integral to the entire construction process and work in a sector that is considered occupationally hazardous. The aim of this research was to determine the extent of health and safety ...
A transportable distributional semantics architecture
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-13)
Distributional semantics is built upon the assumption that the context surrounding a given word in text provides important information about its meaning (Distributional hypothesis). A rephrasing of the distributional ...
Calibrated whole building energy simulation: An evidence-based methodology
(2011-01)
Climate change, driven by global energy consumption, is one of the major challenges to humanity today. The buildings sector consumes a significant portion of global energy resources and much of this is due to inefficient ...
Computational modelling of the degradation of poly-L-lactide for a bioresorbable polymeric stent
(NUI Galway, 2020-05-08)
The interest in biodegradable polymers for the design of bioresorbable stents, temporary vascular scaffolds designed to restore patency to obstructed vessels, has witnessed a dramatic growth over the last ten to fifteen ...
Nitrogen removal using partial nitritation-anammox process
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-26)
The partial nitritation-anammox (PN-A) process is a promising biological nitrogen-removal process. Compared with the conventional autotrophic nitrification-heterotrophic denitrification process, it requires no organic ...
Analysis of the behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder slabs during construction using laboratory and field testing
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-31)
One of the emerging technologies in construction is the development of ‘smart structures’ which have sensors which will allow more efficient, resilient and sustainable structures to be designed and constructed. This research ...
Fibrin-in-fibrin intervention for enhanced dopaminergic graft survival in Parkinson’s disease: Special focus on brain N-glycans
(NUI Galway, 2019-11-07)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused due to the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) translating into the classical motor symptoms ...
Unsupervised target-driven artificial neural networks for dynamic DDoS mitigation within the ISP domain
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-08)
Contemporary Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack vectors can change their
traffic patterns during the time when an attack is underway, and as such, pre-trained
models can struggle to identify new attack traffic ...
