Combining engineering and qualitative models to fault diagnosis in air handling units
(IOS Press, 2014-08-18)This paper presents a methodology for model-based fault localization and identification that exploits both numerical (Modelica) models and a qualitative model-based approach to diagnosis. It has been applied to diagnosis ... -
Combining evidence of preferential gene-tissue relationships from multiple sources
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013-08-12)An important challenge in drug discovery and disease prognosis is to predict genes that are preferentially expressed in one or a few tissues, i.e. showing a considerably higher expression in one tissue(s) compared to the ... -
Combining glycocluster synthesis with protein engineering: an approach to probe into the significance of linker length in a tandem-repeat-type lectin (galectin-4)
(Elsevier, 2014-05-07)Complementarity in lectin-glycan interactions in situ is assumed to involve spatial features in both the lectin and the glycan, giving a functional meaning to structural aspects of the lectin beyond its carbohydrate-binding ... -
Combining lexical and spatial knowledge to predict spatial relations between objects in images
(ACL Anthology, 2016-08-11)Explicit representations of images are useful for linguistic applications related to images. We design a representation based on first-order models that capture the objects present in an image as well as their spatial ... -
Combining open innovation and agile approaches: implications for IS project managers
(2010-06)This paper describes a research-in-progress that explores the applicability and implications of open innovation in a multiple-project environment that employs agile approaches to information systems development. In doing ... -
Combustion kinetic studies of future transportation fuels and intermediates
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-22)The transportation sector requires an abundant supply of fossil and/or bio-derived fuels, which all produce significant quantities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transportation sector is expected to account for ... -
The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)Ethyl levulinate (Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate) is a liquid molecule at ambient temperature, comprising of ketone and ethyl ester functionalities and is one of the prominent liquid fuel candidates that may be easily obtained from ... -
The combustion of fuel reference compounds in laboratory-scale reactors and flames
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-14)Internal combustion engines that rely heavily on fuel oxidation chemical kinetics, rather than external ignition sources, promise the simultaneous improvement of thermodynamic efficiencies and reduction of pollutant emissions ... -
Combustion of n-C3–C6 linear alcohols: An experimental and kinetic modeling study. Part I: Reaction classes, rate rules, model lumping, and validation
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-27)This work (and the companion paper, Part II) presents new experimental data for the combustion of n-C3–C6 alcohols (n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol) and a lumped kinetic model to describe their pyrolysis and ... -
Combustion of n-C3–C6 linear alcohols: An experimental and kinetic modeling study. Part II: Speciation measurements in a jet-stirred reactor, ignition delay time measurements in a rapid compression machine, model validation, and kinetic analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-27)This work presents new experimental data for n-C3–C6 alcohol, combustion (n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol). Speciation measurements have been carried out in a jet-stirred reactor (p = 107 kPa, T = 550–1100 K, ... -
"Come for the weight-loss, stay for the enjoyment" - exploring attributions for initiating and maintaining exercise.
(Psychological Society of Ireland, 2001-05)The potential benefits from engaging in physical activity and exercise in terms of both physical and mental health are well established. Regular exercise has been demonstrated to have preventative effects for several chronic ... -
Comedy Italian Style: an Evolution of Italian Neorealism
(2011-11-30)This dissertation examines the relationship between the critically revered cinematic mode of production flourished in Italy at the end of World War II known as "neorealism" (1945-1954) and the commercially successful Italian ... -
An comhrá síoraí: cothú agus athnuachan na hamhránaíochta i Maigh Eo
(Geography, Publications, 2014)A discussion of recorded sound archives from County Mayo, and strategies for the revitalisation of traditional song in the county. -
Comic books in the digital age: Understanding technological co-existence through post-medium specificity
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-28)Comic books, a rarefied pastime in Western countries, have increasingly become content providers and narrative links in wide transmedia enterprises and have found new audiences through digital channels. This places the ... -
Coming 'Home': place, belonging and second-generation return migration from England to Ireland
(NUI Galway, 2018-09-28)This thesis contributes to the growing academic interest in the second-generation of migrants and the connections they maintain with their parental places of origin. It focuses on the children of the Irish emigrants to ... -
Coming of age in the Parisian Banlieues: young adult fiction as a vehicle for empowerment
(2015-04-30)Over the last number of decades the French banlieues, residential suburban areas surrounding major cities, have become increasingly visible in French society. The residents of these zones are predominantly working class, ... -
Commensurations and metric properties of houghton’s groups
(Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2016-11-21)We describe the automorphism groups and the abstract commensurators of Houghton's groups. Then we give sharp estimates for the word metric of these groups and deduce that the commensurators embed into the corresponding ... -
Commensurations and subgroups of finite index of thompson’s groupf
(Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2008-06-19)We determine the abstract commensurator Com. F/ of Thompson's group F and describe it in terms of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the real line. We show Com. F/ is not finitely generated and determine which subgroups ... -
