(American Chemical Society, 2012-02-02)Cationic polymers with various structures have been widely investigated in the areas of medical diagnostics and molecular, biology because of their unique binding properties and capability to interact with biological ... -
Do as I tweet, not as I do: comparing physical activity data between fitness tweets and Healthy People 2020
(JMIR Publications, 2015-11-30)Background: The goal of this research was to compare the self-reported estimates of daily physical-activity data provided to the Healthy People 2020 research team via a telephone survey to the mobile fitness app real-time ... -
Does making method of alginate hydrogel influence the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells?
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)To overcome cartilage injury, strategies have been developed in the last few years based on tissue engineering to rebuild the defects. Cartilage engineering is principally based on three main biological factors: cells ... -
Dredged marine sediments stabilized/solidified with cement and GGBS: Factors affecting mechanical behaviour and leachability
(Elsevier, 2020-04-08)Management strategies for the safe disposal of contaminated dredged marine sediment are a global scale environmental issue. Stabilization/solidification method was investigated as a sustainable approach for the potential ... -
Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ... -
Driven cast-in-situ piles in granular soil: applicability of CPT methods for pile capacity
(CBT'14, 2014)Most CPT-based design methods for driven piles are heavily influenced by research on preformed driven piles. In this paper, a critical review is made of the ability of these methods to predict the total capacity of driven ... -
A dual image processing pipeline camera with CE applications
(2011)The implementation of a dual image processing pipeline camera on a state-of-art FPGA system is described. This camera can simultaneously acquire dual images of a scene and process, analyze and merge both images to enable ... -
Dual-phase cohesive zone modelling and experimental validation for hydrogen-assisted cracking of 2205 duplex stainless steel
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)The hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel is investigated via experimental testing and computational modelling, with specific focus on developing a predictive methodology for the coupled ... -
Dynamics and function of intracellular carbohydrate in activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal
(Elsevier, 2010)Recovery of biodegradable plastics from activated sludge is a promising sustainable technology. In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) ¿ a biodegradable plastics material - was produced by activated sludge performing ... -
Early-stage dielectric characterisation of renal cell carcinoma for positive surgical margin detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Partial nephrectomy is preferred to total nephrectomy tor clinically localised renal cell carcinoma. In order to minimise the risk of local tumour recurrence after partial nephrectomy, ideally, the surgical margins of the ... -
Economic analysis of pig manure treatment options in Ireland.
(2012)An economic analysis was performed on treatment options for pig manure in Ireland. Costs were based on a 500 sow integrated pig farm producing 10,500 m3 of manure per year at 4.8 % dry matter. The anaerobic digestion of ... -

(EMAI 2019 Emerging Memory and Artificial Intelligence Workshop, 2019-08-29)We are at the cusp of a new era in AI. Recently deep learning has revolutionised the field of Computer Vision, disrupting more traditional algorithmic approaches to object recognition, scene analysis and image understanding. ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(2012)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
