Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ... -
Development of a structured on-the-job training model
(2007)This paper examines the potential of using knowledge management in developing a structured on-the-job training programme. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, multiple sources of evidence were collected from ... -
The development of a supplier performance evaluation tool
(2005)As product life cycles continue to shrink and global competition increases, manufacturers are outsourcing what they consider to be non-strategic activities in order to focus on their core competencies. Consequently these ... -
Development of high-resolution multi-scale modelling system for simulation of coastal-fluvial urban flooding
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-02-16)Urban developments in coastal zones are often exposed to natural hazards such as flooding. In this research, a state-of-the-art, multi-scale nested flood (MSN_Flood) model is applied to simulate complex coastal-fluvial ... -
Development of life assessment procedures for power plant headers operated under flexible loading scenarios
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-12-22)A finite element methodology for thermo-mechanical fatigue analysis of a subcritical power plant outlet header under realistic loading conditions is presented. The methodology consists of (i) a transient heat transfer ... -
Development of the meshless finite volume particle method with exact and efficient calculation of interparticle area
(Elsevier, 2014-02-18)The Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is a meshless method based on a definition of interparticle area which is closely analogous to cell face area in the classical finite volume method. In previous work, the interparticle ... -
Diagnostic definitions and figures of male and female Tetanocera punctifrons and T. latifibula, new records of T. punctifrons in Ireland, and notes on biology (Diptera, Sciomyzidae).
(The Society for the study of flies (Diptera) affiliated to the British Entomological and Natural History Society (BENHS), 2017)The presence of Tetanocera punctifrons Rondani, 1868 in Ireland is reconfirmed. The species is distinguished from the very similar T. latifibula Frey, 1924. The female abdomens of both species are described for the first ... -
Diagnostics and intervention methods for façade retrofit of post-WWII non-domestic buildings in Europe for energy efficiency
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)The growing demand of deep façade retrofits in refurbishment projects across Europe, is often accompanied by low-energy targets and architectural attributes. Factors like variability in context, material, environment and ... -
Dielectric characterization of diseased human trabecular bones at microwave frequency
(Elsevier, 2020-02-07)The objective of this study is to determine whether in vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bones, can distinguish between osteoporotic and osteoarthritis patients' bone samples. Specifically this study enlightens ... -
Dielectric characterization of ex vivo ovine and human adrenal glands for microwave thermal ablation applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-01-15)Historically, adrenal glands diseases causing hypertension, such as Primary Aldosteronism (PA), have been treated through pharmacotherapy or surgical resection. Given the shortcomings of the available treatment options, ... -
Dielectric properties of bones: A potential indicator for osteoporosis
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2018-01-26)Osteoporosis is one of the major bone disease that results into bone fragility and fractures. Approximately 300,000 people over the age of 50 years suffer from osteoporosis in Ireland. Osteoporosis is mainly caused due ... -
Diet behavior change techniques in type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(American Diabetes Association, 2017-12)OBJECTIVE Dietary behavior is closely connected to type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify behavior change techniques (BCTs) and specific components of dietary interventions for patients with ... -
Different depth sand filters for laboratory treatment of synthetic wastewater with concentrations close to measured septic tank effluent
(2011)The objective of this study was to apply hydraulic and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rates at the upper limits of the design criteria for buried sand filters to test the sand filter depth design criteria. Over a ... -
Differential β3 and β1 integrin expression in bone marrow and cortical bone of estrogen deficient rats
(Wiley, 2015-08-12)Integrin-based (beta(3)) attachments to the extracellular matrix (ECM) on osteocyte cell processes have recently been proposed to play an important role in facilitating osteocyte mechanosensation. However, it is not yet ... -
Digital camera connectivity solutions using the picture transfer protocol (PTP)
(IEEE, 2002)Interconnectivity of digital camera with other devices is one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras allow more consumer-friendly ... -
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ... -
Digital imaging services using PTP (picture transfer protocol)
(IEEE, 2002-06-20)Interconnectivity of digital cameras with other devices seems to be one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras provide better usage of digital ... -
The digitalisation and virtual delivery of Lean Six Sigma Teaching in an Irish university during COVID-19
(Springer, Cham, 2022-01-01)This research discusses how lecturers in an Irish university transferred their classroom-based blended learning Lean Six Sigma modules to online delivery. The transfer from a practical classroom environment to an online ... -
