Nonlinear analysis for ranking and evaluating the singular and collective impacts of project delay factors in Saudi Arabia
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-30)
One of the biggest engineering concerns in the Middle East is the major delays in infrastructural projects which impact on both their quality and cost. A significant number of projects do not finish on time, are subject ...
Macromolecular crowding for chondrogenic phenotype maintenance and stem cell differentiation
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-31)
Chondrocyte-based tissue engineering therapies require in vitro cell expansion, which is associated with loss of phenotype, decrease in synthesis of collagen type II and increase in synthesis of collagen type I. Another ...
Signal and image processing technology for smart agriculture applications
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-25)
This thesis is concerned with development of signal and image processing technology for
smart agriculture applications, with a particular focus on applications in automatic weeding
systems. Developing an automatic weeding ...
Optimised energy management for energy harvesting powered wireless sensors
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-30)
Energy harvesting provides a promising opportunity as the power source for wireless sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT) related applications (e.g. smart buildings, autonomous cars). However there are issues encountered ...
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 ...
Biophysical and biochemical microenvironmental cues for tenogenic phenotype maintenance, differentiation and trans-differentiation in vitro
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-19)
Tendon injuries affect tens of millions of people worldwide each year and as the average lifespan increases their occurrence also increases, Achilles rupture rates alone have increased by ≈ 1000% in the last 40 years. ...

(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 ...
Enabling smart societies using social internet of things: A semantic framework for real-time virtual object management
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-04)
A wide variety of unique smart services and applications are evolved based on Internet
of Things (IoT) for resolving numerous issues in daily life, social community, agriculture,
health sector, entertainment sector, city ...
Tidal stream energy assessment with and without a shock capture scheme - Incorporating a non-constant thrust force coefficient
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-23)
Tidal currents provide a significant energy source in many locations worldwide,
particularly at coastal areas where bathymetric conditions intensify their magnitudes.
Potential sites for tidal-stream energy resource ...
Paralympic tandem cycling and hand-cycling: Computational and wind tunnel analysis of aerodynamic performance
(NUI Galway, 2019-03-27)
There are several key resistive forces affecting the speed of cyclists; namely aerodynamic resistance, gravity induced by road gradients, rolling resistance, and drive train and wheel bearing resistances. Of these, in most ...
