Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(IEEE, 2014)
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 ...
Behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder flat slab system using insitu structural health monitoring
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
In recent decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has emerged as an increasingly important tool in Civil Engineering to understand how structures behave during construction and operation. Although SHM is not a new ...
A laboratory study of the expansion of an Irish pyritic mudstone/siltstone fill material
(Elsevier, 2012-11-07)
Extensive damage to dwellings in the east of Ireland, arising from the expansive pyritic fill material used beneath the floor slabs, prompted the laboratory study presented in this paper to quantify the expansion and study ...
How accurate are Energy Performance Certificates indicated energy savings of building retrofits?
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
With the impending nearly zero energy building (NZEB) regulations for residential new builds and retrofits for the European Union (EU) housing stock and the percentage of new buildings relative to existing buildings is ...
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 ...
Characterization of separated pig manure composted with a variety of bulking agents at low initial C/N ratios
(2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the composting of separated pig manure solids with or without a variety of bulking agents at a low initial C/N ratio (12.5-23.3). Compost stability was investigated using an oxygen ...
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 ...
Evaluation of Combined Visible/NIR Camera for Iris Authentication on smartphones
(IEEE, 2015)
Iris biometrics provide a mature and robust method of authentication, but are typically applied in a controlled environment and under constrained acquisition conditions. In this paper, the adaption of iris biometrics for ...
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)
The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ...
