Application of electrodialysis into nutrient recovery and antibiotics removal for pig manure management
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-25)
Animal manure should be regarded as a resource rather than a waste as it contains abundant nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) available for plants. Land spreading of animal manure is a common practice while it has to be ...
Design and development of a performance evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-02)
In this dissertation, a comprehensive evaluation framework for remote eye gaze estimation systems
that are implemented in consumer electronics applications is developed. For this, firstly, a detailed
