Accurate 2D facial depth models derived from a 3D synthetic dataset
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-05-13)As Consumer Technologies (CT) seeks to engage and interact more closely with the end-user it becomes important to observe and analyze a user’s interaction with CT devices and associated services. One of the most useful ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ... -
Analysis of the relationship between knowledge management and lean tools during lean implementation in hospitals
(Springer, Cham, 2023-02-12)During the last two decades, lean healthcare has received increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners because it plays an imperative role in quality and safety clinical process improvement. Although there ... -
