Dependence of mechanical properties of polyamide components on build parameters in the SLS process
(Elsevier, 2007)Customised properties of parts manufactured using the selective laser sintering process are achievable by variation of build parameters. The energy density, controlled by laser power, distance between scan lines and speed ... -
Deprivation and its measurement in later life: findings from a mixed-methods study in Ireland
(Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, 2012-11)Against the background of an ageing population and the current economic recession, the research reported here explores deprivation, and its measurement, for diverse groups of older people living in Ireland. We assess the ... -
Describing Linked Datasets - On the Design and Usage of voiD, the 'Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets'
(2009)In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of voiD, the \Vocabulary Of Interlinked Datasets", a vocabulary that allows to formally describe linked RDF datasets. We report on use cases for voiD, the current state ... -
Design and characterization of a three-layer collagen-based scaffold to modulate BMSC behaviour for enthesis regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)The enthesis is a specialised tissue interface between tendon and bone, essential for adequate force transmission. Following injuries and surgical repair, the enthesis is often not re-established and traditionally used ... -
Design and characterization of synthetic biodegradable films for soft tissue engineering
(SciTePress, 2019)To repair soft tissue, it is vital to ensure that the biomaterial is able to mimic the complex elasticity of the native tissue. Substrate stiffness has a huge influence on cell physiology and behaviour. The present study ... -
Designing futures through student engagement: A policy futures perspective
(SAGE Publications, 2023-06-12)Futures research is gaining increased prominence in educational research and development (Tesar, 2021), and particularly now as we emerge from the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has provided a lever for change and an ... -
Detailed dielectric characterisation of the heart and great vessels
(IEEE, 2020-03-15)The dielectric properties of biological tissues play a significant role in the planning and development of electro- magnetic thermal therapies. In most cases in the literature, heart is considered as a homogeneous organ ... -
Detecting bot behaviour in social media using digital DNA compression
(AICS (Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science) 2019, 2019-12-05)A major challenge faced by online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter is the remarkable rise of fake and automated bot accounts over the last few years. Some of these accounts have been reported to engage in ... -
Detecting inner-ear anatomical and clinical datasets in the linked open data (LOD) cloud
(CEUR-WS.org, 2015-10-15)Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud is a mesh of open datasets coming from different domains. Among these datasets, a notable amount of datasets belong to the life sciences domain linked together forming an interlinked “Life ... -
Detection of vesicoureteral reflux using electrical impedance tomography
(IEEE, 2018-12-14)Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) non-invasively using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). VUR is characterized by the backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys. ... -
Developing a Continuous Space Representation of a Simulated Population
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-09-03)Spatial microsimulation models typically match census of population data with survey data in order to simulate synthetic populations of individuals and households within small-scale geographic areas. For most spatial ... -
Developing a Dataset for Technology Structure Mining
(IEEE, 2010)This paper describes steps that have been taken to construct a development dataset for the task of Technology Structure Mining. We have defined the proposed task as the process of mapping a scientific corpus into a ... -
Developing a method for evaluating CRM skills: A European perspective.
(Taylor & Francis, 2002-11)The European Commission in conjunction with the European Joint Aviation Authorities (Human Factors Project Advisory Group) has been sponsoring a series of studies investigating a culturally robust method for the evaluation ... -
Developing Children's Participation: Lessons from a Participatory IT Project
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, advances in the sociology of childhood and the consumer rights movement have placed the spotlight on children¿s rights in society, challenging those working with children to ... -
Developing inclusive research methodologies: testing the voice centred relational method of qualitative data analysis in a collaborative research project on early school leaving
(Child & Family Research and Policy Unit, WHB/ NUI Galway., 2004)Committed to developing collaborative research processes and practices, this study sought to establish research partnerships between academic researchers, activists working in a context of social exclusion and those ... -
