Glued-in basalt FRP rods as moment connections in box section frames
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)
This paper presents an experimental programme that investigates the application of glued-in rods as
moment connections in a post and beam connection. Nine such frame corners were constructed of box sections using ...
Broadband dielectric properties of adrenal gland for accurate anatomical modelling in medical applications
(IEEE, 2017-09-11)
Dielectric properties of biological tissue are important in safety assessment and evaluation of novel medical imaging and therapeutic devices. This paper reports frequency dependent dielectric properties of adrenal tissue, ...
Business sustainability methodology for European manufacturing SMEs
(IST Press, 2011-06-28)
SMEs find it difficult to deal with environmental issues due mainly to their limited resources in terms
of money, people and time. Our research also identified other barriers to engaging SMEs in environmental
improvement ...
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 ...
Environmental challenges and opportunities for European manufacturing SMEs
(International Manufacturing Conference 27, 2010-09-01)
Many owner/managers of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) do not believe that their
business operations have a negative impact on the environment. However, cumulatively their
effect is considerable; the SME sector is ...
Mechanical characterisation of green Sitka spruce logs
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)
ABSTRACT: Timber is by its nature a very heterogeneous material. Many different factors impact its mechanical properties,
from tree species to environment (climate, competition, soil…). While a number of studies in 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 ...
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 ...
