3D Printing of Microspheres for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2015-09)Microspheres have tremendous potential as a scaffold material for tissue engineering applications due to their capability of encapsulation and controlled release of factors that assist tissue regeneration in the desired ... -
An abstract framework for modeling argumentation in virtual communities
(IGI Global, 2009)Classic argumentative discussions can be found in a variety of domains from traditional scientific publishing to today’s modern social software. An interactive argumentative discussion usually consists of an initial ... -
The Accelerating Campus Entrepreneurship (ACE) initiative: Creating entrepreneurial graduates for Ireland
(2010)According to the GEM Ireland Report (2008), in Ireland those that have exposure to entrepreneurship education have an increased propensity to start a new venture. The importance of entrepreneurial skills was picked up by ... -
The Accelerating Campus Entrepreneurship (ACE) initiative: Creating entrepreneurial graduates for Ireland
(2009)This paper will discuss how Irish HEIs can improve their provision of entrepreneurship education in order to affect positive economic growth. In particular this research explores the approach, process and research of the ... -
Achieving nearly zero-energy buildings - A lifecycle assessment approach to retrofitting buildings
(NUI Galway, 2015-04-23)It is now widely recognised in the academic and business worlds that energy efficiency in buildings provides significant environmental and economic opportunities, but also challenges. The building sector offers considerable ... -
An Active-Node Fault Diagnosis System for CEBus Networks
(IEEE, 1995)The design and implementation of an active-node fault diagnosis system for CEBus networks is described. The system uses an IBM PC with a user-friendly GUI to provide statistical information on network traflic and ... -
Adaptive artifact removal for selective multistatic microwave breast imaging signals
(Elsevier, 2017-02-01)Microwave imaging is one of the most promising alternative breast imaging modalities. Early-stage artifact removal is an important signal processing component of a microwave breast imaging system. In this paper, a monostatic ... -
Adaptive Mesh Multi-Scale Modelling of Tidal Hydraulics and Material Transport
(2011)Multi-scale modelling for structured meshes is achieved by nesting high resolution grids within lower resolution grids. By specifying high resolutions in areas of interest only, computational cost can be reduced. Adaptive ... -
An adaptive mesh solute transport model
(2009)An adaptive mesh solute transport model is presented. The adaptive mesh scheme is implemented in a one-way multiply nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). The ... -
The adoption of enabling technology to enhance research commercialisation and technology transfer
(2009)This paper examines how the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway has benefited from implementation of an intellectual property (IP) management tool to enhance its research commercialization outcomes. The paper uses ... -
Advanced hardware real time face detector
(IEEE, 2012)Face detection and tracking can be considered an enabling technology for a range of image enhancements technologies, authentications and advanced UIs in handheld devices. Several modes of implementing a face detection ... -
Advanced Material Catheter (AMCath), a minimally invasive endocardial catheter for the delivery of fast-gelling covalently cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogels
(SAGE Publications, 2018-10-25)Injectable hydrogels that aim to mechanically stabilise the weakened left ventricle wall to restore cardiac function or to deliver stem cells in cardiac regenerative therapy have shown promising data. However, the clinical ... -
Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
(Bentham Science, 2012)Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ... -
Altered mechanical environment of bone cells in an animal model of short- and long-term osteoporosis
(Biophysical Society, 2015-04-07)Alterations in bone tissue composition during osteoporosis likely disrupt the mechanical environment of bone cells and may thereby initiate a mechanobiological response. It has proved challenging to characterize the ... -
Altering the granularity of neutrality in a multi-layered genetic algorithm
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2014)By adopting a basic interpretation of the biological processes of transcription and translation, the multilayered GA (MGA) introduces a genotype-phenotype mapping for a haploid genotype, which allows the granularity of the ... -
Analysing the impact of dimensionality on diversity in a multi-layered Genotype-Phenotype mapped genetic algorithm
(IEEE, 2013-06-20)This paper examines the impact of changes in dimensionality on a multi-layered genotype-phenotype mapped GA. To gain an understanding of the impact we carry out a series of experiments on a number of well understood ... -
An Analysis of Innovation Management in Irish Medical Device SMEs
(IEEE, 2013-06)This paper focuses on innovation management practices in the Irish medical devices industry. We analyse key determinants to assess the nature and level of innovation management practices relative to published literature ... -
Analysis of jacking force data for microtunnels in glacial till at Kilcock, Ireland
(IOS Press, 2011)Although the application of microtunnelling to pipeline construction has grown considerably in Ireland in recent times, there is very little published guidance on the jacking forces that might be expected in Irish ground ... -
Analysis of microtunnel jacking forces in alluvium and glacial till in Mullingar, Ireland
(2012)The number of successful microtunnelling drives completed in Ireland is growing rapidly. However, current jacking force predictions rely on experience from the UK and beyond, often gained through work in soils with a small ... -
