Experimental investigation of the serviceability behaviour of a cross laminated timber floor
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-29)
European timber design standards set out basic serviceability limit design criteria for single span, simply supported floors, but the rotational stiffness of the fixing system and two-way support possible with modern solid ...
The student voice: the students own views on smartphone usage and impact on their academic performance
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
By the time they are 12 years of age, 90% of Irish children will have a smartphone (Bielenberg, 2017). This rise in smartphone ownership has meant that mobile technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. ...
Mechano-sorptive creep in reinforced glulam
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2018-08-20)
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of reinforcement on the creep behaviour of FRP
reinforced timber elements in a controlled variable climate. Creep is accelerated by moisture variations due to a ...
Mechanical properties estimation by non-destructive testing of Irish hardwood round timber from thinnings for construction purposes
(Department of Forestry Policy and Economics, University of Sopron, Hungary, 2018-10-25)
Thinning involves the removal of competitors of high quality trees, and trees for extraction racks, all to favour the growth of the selected trees. Many felled trees are small-diameter and in Ireland hardwood thinnings are ...
The application of deep learning on depth from multi-array camera
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-01-02)
Consumer-level multi-array cameras are a key enabling technology for next generation smartphones imaging systems. The present paper aims to analyze the accuracy of the depth estimation while using different camera combinations ...
Fake data - the future of advanced computer vision systems
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-22)
Recent research shows that Data Augmentation techniques and Synthetic Data can improve the accuracy and reduce the susceptibility of Deep Neural Networks to Adversarial Attacks. In this presentation we consider some of the ...
A privacy framework for games and interactive media
(IEEE, 2018-08-16)
Privacy is a concept that is intertwined with data security, but its scope is significantly broader. Often considerations of privacy in the context of consumer devices are limited to a consideration of the security of the ...
Identifying the reality gap between abstract and realistic models using evolved agents and simulated kilobots
(IEEE, 2018-12-12)
A common challenge in evolutionary swarm robotics is the transfer of
simulated results into real-world applications. This difficulty can arise in
a variety of real-world settings and problems such as sensory differences
in ...
Multiphase numerical modelling of hydraulic structures with rapidly rotating flows: Stormwater vortex hydrodynamic separator
(Conferences and Events at DigitalCommons@USU, 2018-05-15)
Hydraulic structures exhibiting strongly rotating flows are widely applied in the field of urban and wastewater
hydraulics. Given demographic, urban development and climate change challenge, such infrastructure will require ...
Remote sensing of surface waters in Ireland
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2018-08-29)
An implementation of the WFD requires all surface waters in the EU to achieve at least good status; this requirement has not been achieved in Ireland. Just over 30% of transitional waters and 79% of coastal waters were ...
