A crash course on patents for engineers
(IEEE, 2013-01-12)
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 ...
Factors affecting Embodied Carbon/Embodied Energy associated with ground improvements techniques for construction on peat
(NUI Galway, 2012)
In addition to the traditional drivers of cost and timely programme delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have emerged as major considerations in all aspects (including geotechnical) of large construction ...
Heave-ho! A laboratory model of an underfloor environment incorporating pyritiferous fill
(NUI Galway, 2016)
Damage to domestic dwellings in the greater Dublin area of Ireland caused by the expansion of underfloor fill material containing pyrite has become a high-profile national problem in recent years. In this paper, a novel ...
Some geotechnical characteristics of soft soil deposits along the Terryland River Valley, Galway
(2016)
The ground conditions in the Terryland River Valley area present considerable site development challenges to geotechnical engineers. The soft soil formation consists of peat overlying very soft, highly compressible calcareous ...
An analytical method to assess the impact of distributed generation and energy storage on reliability of supply
(CIRED International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution, 2017-06-12)
Efficient integration of Distributed Generation (DG) and
Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to distribution networks
can help improve the reliability of supply. In order to
evaluate the impact of these technologies on ...
The optional prisoner's dilemma in a spatial environment: Co-evolving game strategy and link weights
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
In this paper, the Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma game in a spatial environment, with coevolutionary rules for both the strategy and network links between agents, is studied. Using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, a number ...
Stabilisation of a dredged marine sediment: geotechnical and contaminant leaching properties
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
In this paper, contaminated sediment dredged from a commercial harbour in Ireland was stabilized using Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) alone and in combination with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). The engineering ...
Blackpool South Strategy project: analysis of pipe-jacking records
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
In recent years, there has been an increased resort to microtunnelling/pipe-jacking as a means of constructing underground conduits (for water, sewage, gas and other utilities) to avoid on-street disruption in urban areas. ...
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ...
Electrical impedance tomography with exploitation of symmetry
(Bioengineering in Ireland 2018, 2018-01-26)
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique involving an electrode array positioned around the area of interest. Alternating current is injected, and voltage measured, between electrode pairs in a prescribed ...
