Electricity in a Climate Constrained World [Book Review]
(IEEE, 2014-01)This latest study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) on world electricity consumption, its current status, and the most likely developments we are going to see during the next few years. If you are familiar with ... -
Electro-spinning of pure collagen nano-fibres – Just an expensive way to make gelatin?
(Elsevier, 2008-03-03)Scaffolds manufactured from biological materials promise better clinical functionality, providing that characteristic features are preserved. Collagen, a prominent biopolymer, is used extensively for tissue engineering ... -
Electromechanical properties of dried tendon and isoelectrically focused collagen hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2012-08)Assembling artificial collagenous tissues with structural, functional, and mechanical properties which mimic natural tissues is of vital importance for many tissue engineering applications. While the electro-mechanical ... -
An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
(Elsevier, 2015-01-29)In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ... -
Emerging trends in electricity consumption for consumer ICT
(2013)Since 2009, several emerging technologies have initiated broad and disruptive impact across the ICT sector: cloud computing promises efficiency of scale both in terms of capital and operational costs; high-speed wireless ... -
Emotion Tracking for Remote Conferencing Applications using Neural Networks.
(The 21st National Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, 2010-08-31)In face-to-face work, discussion and negotiation relies strongly on non-verbal feedback, which provides important clues to negotiation states such as agreement/disagreement and understanding/confusion, as well as indicating ... -
Empirical correlations for the compression index of Irish soft soils
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2014-09-08)Numerous correlations have been developed in the literature relating the compression index Cc of soft soils to simple index properties that serve as a useful reality check on oedometer test results. However, many of these ... -
An empirical study into Ishikawa's basic tools of QC in European organisations
(iqcongress2021 (iqcongress2021.srmek.org), 2021-06-29)The purpose of this European study is to investigate the statement of Dr Ishikawa that "95% of problems in processes can be solved using the 7 Quality Control (QC) tools". An online survey instrument was developed, ... -
An empirical study into the use of 7 quality control tools in higher education institutions (HEIs)
(Emerald, 2022-09-13)Ireland has developed a highly successful medical device cluster. Most of the industry started from USA multinationals that moved to Ireland in the 1990s. An ecosystem has now developed with strong linkages between ... -
An empirical study of the impact of systems thinking and simulation on sustainability education
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)Education for sustainable development (ESD) is considered vital to the success of the United Nations¿ sustainable development goals. Systems thinking has been identified as a core competency that must be included in ESD. ... -
Empowering learners with self-selecting learning tools
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)Students need to be encouraged while in the liminal space i.e. the learning journey in the process of mastering a threshold concept (Land et al, 2014) (Meyer & Land, 2003). However, this learning journey can either be a ... -
Enabling Legacy PTP Cameras and Printers as Networked PTP/IP Appliances
(IEEE, 2007-04-10)PTP/IP is a new connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances which combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of picture transfer protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ... -
End use level water and energy interactions: A large non-residential building case study
