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 ...
Characterization and reactivity of soot from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic compounds and monolignols
(Elsevier, 2018-02-06)
This study presents the effect of lignocellulosic compounds and monolignols on the yield, nanostructure and reactivity of soot generated at 1250 C in a drop tube furnace. The structure of soot was characterized by electron ...
Potassium and soot interaction in fast biomass pyrolysis at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2018-04-02)
This study aims to investigate the interaction between potassium and carbonaceous matrix of soot produced from wood and herbaceous biomass pyrolysis at high heating rates at 1250°C in a drop tube reactor. The influence of ...
Multi-nodal short-term energy forecasting using smart meter data
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2018-06-10)
This paper deals with the short-term forecasting of electrical energy demands at the local level, incorporating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), or ‘smart meter’ data. It provides a study of the effects of aggregation ...
The KEYSTONE IC1302 COST Action
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
As more and more data becomes available on the Web, as
its complexity increases and as the Web’s user base shifts towards a
more general non-technical population, keyword searching is becoming
a valuable alternative to ...
Removal of phenol and chlorine from wastewater using steam activated biomass soot and tire carbon black
(Elsevier, 2018-10-30)
This study aims to demonstrate a novel method for removing toxic chemicals using soot produced from wood and herbaceous biomass pyrolyzed in a drop tube reactor and tire pyrolytic carbon black. The influence of ash content, ...
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 ...
Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)
Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ...
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 ...
