Computational study on the effect of contact geometry on fretting behaviour
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-07-23)A key challenge in the design of engineering couplings and contacting components relates to the development of an understanding of the comparative performance of contrasting contact geometries for a given application, ... -
A computational toolchain for the automatic generation of multiple Reduced-Order Models from CFD simulations
(Elsevier, 2019-05-25)This paper describes the development of a systematic tool chain capable of automatically extracting accurate and efficient Reduced-Order Models (ROMs) from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. These ROMs can ... -
Conceptualizing Industry 4.0 readiness model dimensions: an exploratory sequential mixed-method study
(Emerald, 2021-07-16)Purpose Organizations use Industry 4.0 readiness models to evaluate their preparedness prior to the implementation of Industry 4.0. Though there are many studies on Industry 4.0 readiness models, the dimensions of readiness ... -
Conference program and online proceedings of the Irish Machine Vision and Image Processing Conference 2023
(University of Galway, 2023-08-30)The Irish Machine Vision and Image Processing Conference (IMVIP) Conference is the annual research conference of the Irish Pattern Recognition and Classification Society. The chief objective of the society is the advancement ... -
Connectivity solutions to link a bluetooth camera to the internet
(IEEE, 2001)Digital photography is gaining day by day more and more credibility over conventional photography due to a number of factors easy to guess. Bluetooth connectivity in the digital camera provides cordless communication with ... -
Consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates.
(Elsevier, 2014-10-13)The true efficacy of a programme of agricultural mitigation measures within a catchment to improve water quality can be determined only after a certain hydrologic time lag period (subsequent to implementation) has elapsed. ... -
Conservation voltage reduction in secondary distribution networks with distributed generation and electric vehicle charging loads
(IEEE, 2018-08-23)This paper investigates the potential for Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) in Low Voltage (LV) secondary distribution networks. CVR is a well-established technique where the voltage in LV networks is managed at a ... -
Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ... -
Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ... -
Convolutional neural network implementation for eye-gaze estimation on low-quality consumer imaging systems
(IEEE, 2019-02-15)Accurate and efficient eye gaze estimation is important for emerging consumer electronic systems, such as driver monitoring systems and novel user interfaces. Such systems are required to operate reliably in difficult, ... -
Cooperative contractility: the role of stress fibres in the regulation of cell-cell junctions
(Elsevier, 2014-11-27)We present simulations of cell-cell adhesion as reported in a recent study [Liu et al., 2010, PNAS, 107(22), 9944-9] for two cells seeded on an array of micro-posts. The micro-post array allows for the measurement of forces ... -
Cosmic sounds: A game to support phonological awareness skills for children with dyslexia
(2022)Studies show that reduced literacy skills can negatively influence a child¿s self-esteem and future career opportunities. Literacy is significantly affected when problems exist understanding the phonological component or ... -
Cost of quality in construction
(Springer, Cham, 2023-02-12)The cost of quality while a well-established measure in the manufacturing and other industries, has shown to have limited data available within the construction industry. This case study research article seeks to establish ... -
A crash course on patents for engineers
(2013)Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ... -
