Formal calibration methodology relating to CFD models of naturally ventilated internal environments
(2013-08-16)
The building sector is responsible for 40% of total global energy consumption.
Half of the energy consumed by buildings relates to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Natural ventilation can provide ...
Computational modelling of emissions from gas turbines: Ensuring experimental reliability and quantifying emissions uncertainty
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-18)
Global environmental concerns and the increasing amount of power generated using gas turbines have led to the development of dry low emission (DLE) combustion systems to minimize the NOx and CO pollutants. Improvements in ...
Methods for defining dynamic online communities and community detection in fast-paced social media streams
(NUI Galway, 2019-05-02)
Microblogging social media focuses on fast open real-time communication using short messages between users and their followers.
Twitter is currently one of the largest and widely known microblogging OSN in the world, with ...
A thermodynamically motivated investigation of cell and tissue remodelling
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-24)
The overall objective of this thesis is to provide a new understanding of the mechanisms that drive cell spreading and remodelling, and to extend this understanding to remodelling at a tissue and organ level.
A steady-state ...

A structural approach to community-level social influence analysis
(2014-04-10)
Social communities shape the way people interact. E.g. members of online discussion communities frequently exchange information, experience, or knowledge about practically anything from software to bird watching. The rising ...
A market framework for collaborative robot exploration
(2014-04-07)
This research considers the problem of using miniature low-cost robots for real-world tasks. The issues of low quality sensor data, inaccurate odometry, low processing capacity and limited power are approached through the ...
The Effects of Biomedical Signal Compression in Wireless Ambulatory Healthcare
(2013-10-30)
This thesis seeks to contribute to the field of ambulatory healthcare by examining methodologies to minimise the size of bioelectric signals, whilst preserving the quality of the diagnostic information contained within ...
Strength verification methods for stabilised soil-cement columns: a laboratory investigation of PORT and PIRT
(2015-04-27)
Dry soil mixing (DSM) is a form of ground improvement in which dry cementitious and/or pozzolanic binders are mixed in situ with a soft soil. The binders react with the soil's natural moisture to initiate hydration reactions, ...
Microbial Lipid production from potato processing waste water and simultaneous nutrient removal using oleaginous fungi
(2012-10-09)
Microbial lipids can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel production, and use of biowastes as the substrate for microbial lipid production can reduce its production cost. The aims of this research include: (i) isolation ...
