Empowering learners with self-selecting learning tools
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
Students need to be encouraged while in the liminal space i.e. the learning journey in the process of mastering a threshold concept (Land et al, 2014) (Meyer & Land, 2003). However, this learning journey can either be a ...
Laboratory Push-In Resistance Tests (PIRT) in a cement-stabilised pseudo-fibrous peat
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
Deep dry soil mixing (DDSM) is a form of ground improvement in which dry binders are injected and mixed in
situ, forming individual columns, rows or interlocking panels, thereby improving the geotechnical characteristics ...
Supporting online students through the liminal space from facilitated online modules to self-starting a thesis
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
Most third-level institutes now offer online education (Bowers & Kumar, 2015). Allen et al. (2016) report that in excess of 28% of all American higher education students are enrolled on at least one online course. Online ...
Experimental evaluation of the effective ablation zone on ex-vivo bovine liver samples
(IEEE, 2018-09-10)
Microwave thermal ablation is under investigation
for minimally invasive treatments. In the cases of small targets,
such as adrenal glands, microwave thermal ablation is a valuable
alternative to the traditional and ...
Re-boot learning: providing an e-tivity scaffold for engagement for early research activity through blog technology embedded within teaching and learning
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
Increasing student numbers in higher education over the last decade has challenged educational environments. The challenge for educators is to re-think learning environments and delivery methods such that a student-educator ...
Evaluation of the structural behaviour of beam-beam connection systems using compressed wood dowels and plates
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-20)
To support the transition to a bio-based society, it is preferable to substitute metallic fasteners and adhesives in timber construction with an eco-friendly alternative. Recent studies have identified compressed wood ...
Particle transport velocity correction for complex boundaries in the Finite Volume Particle Method
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)
Particle methods such as smoothed particle
hydrodynamics (SPH) and the finite volume particle method
(FVPM) can suffer from strongly non-uniform and anisotropic
particle distributions when purely Lagrangian particle ...
Lego® Serious Play® as a Business Innovation enabler
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-14)
Improvements in innovation and quality processes can be achieved through the use of novel approaches such as LSP, which enables abstract thinking and advocates an open-mind for unconventional solutions. Within the scope ...
Numerical simulation and assessment of the effects of inlet configuration on the flushing time of a potable water service reservoir
(Conferences and Events at DigitalCommons@USU, 2018-05-15)
Service reservoirs provide the dual function of balancing supply with demand and providing adequate pressure in the water supply network by maintaining sufficient pressure head. In a potable water service reservoir, the ...
Tackling hypertension via adrenal ablation-the development of novel immunohistochemical ablation biomarkers
(IEEE, 2018-04-09)
Microwave thermal ablation is under consideration for minimally invasive treatment of unilateral and bilateral adrenal adenomas, symptomatic of Conn's syndrome. Currently available microwave technologies are illsuited to ...
