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 ...
Evaluation of Combined Visible/NIR Camera for Iris Authentication on smartphones
(IEEE, 2015)
Iris biometrics provide a mature and robust method of authentication, but are typically applied in a controlled environment and under constrained acquisition conditions. In this paper, the adaption of iris biometrics for ...
Development of a global energy management system (GEMS) for the life sciences industry
(NUI Galway, 2015-08)
For multi-national companies, assessment of cost effective energy efficiency projects across a global site base is a complex problem involving multiple variables. This research project proposes a novel methodology for ...
Real-time control of occupants thermal comfort in buildings
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015-12-07)

A practical challenge for iris authentication on handheld imaging devices
(IEEE, 2015)
Following on the introduction of fingerprint
biometrics, iris authentication for handheld imaging devices has
become a hot research topic. However widespread adoption of
this technology faces a significant challenge as ...
Examining the impact of neutrality on genetic algorithm population evolution
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2015-11-12)
This paper examines the introduction of neutrality as proposed by Kimura (Kimura, 1968) into the genotype-phenotype mapping of a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The paper looks at the evolution of both a simple GA (SGA) and a ...
