Use of carbon calculation tools for sustainable cycle network design
(NUI Galway, 2012)
In recent years European cycling has undergone a renaissance with various initiatives
including the establishment of EuroVelo and the proposed European trans-border cycling
infrastructure. Significant advances on this ...
Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(IEEE, 2016)
An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for
the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing
image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s
imaging modules in digital cameras and ...
A crash course on patents for engineers
(2013)
Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ...
Supporting global collaboration teams through innovative Web 2.0 technologies.
(Fraunhofer-Verlag, 2011)
Enhanced collaboration among multicultural European countries is necessary for effective enterprise development and innovation. The current climate of an increasingly competitive global economy provides opportunities to ...
Generating robust algorithms for energy efficient lighting as a performance aspect of the building operational energy optimisation framework
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
This paper presents a part of the ongoing research in the nZEB-Retrofit project in the National University of Ireland, Galway. This research aims to optimise residential building performance by enhancing the key performance ...
On thin-clients and the cloud; can smartphones and tablets really reduce electricity consumption?
(2014)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move many computational and data storage services from the desktop onto the network. New thin clients provide an excellent user interface for cloud services and also reduce both ...
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 ...
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 ...
