The Design and Evaluation of Graphical Radial Menus
(2011-12-05)Graphical menus provide slow performance and yet users often try to select menu commands as fast as possible. Shortcut techniques that enable users to by-pass selections from a graphical menu are fast, but are not the ... -
Design and formulation of functional pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac microtissues
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013-11-19)Access to robust and information-rich human cardiac tissue models would accelerate drug-based strategies for treating heart disease. Despite significant effort, the generation of high-fidelity adult-like human cardiac ... -
Design and implementation of a performance assessment methodology cognisant of data accuracy for Irish wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)Without intervention, wastewater treatment plants will become more resource intensive as they strive to meet environmental regulations. This challenge is set against the backdrop, in many countries, of an emphasis on cost ... -
Design and manufacturing of customised maxillofacial prostheses.
(Elsevier, 2003-04-28)Customised implants created by Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) techniques and used in maxillofacial reconstruction indicate improved outcomes over conventional techniques. ‘‘Non-functional’’ multistaged procedures are ... -
Design and performance of a small-animal imaging system using synthetic collimation
(IOP Publishing, 2013-04-26)This work outlines the design and construction of a single-photon emission computed tomography imaging system based on the concept of synthetic collimation. A focused multi-pinhole collimator is constructed using ... -

Design and synthesis of biocompatible metal-organic frameworks for anti-cancer, anti-tubercular and MRI application
(NUI Galway, 2023-07-11)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are relatively new porous materials that have attracted significant attention in recent decades. Potential applications in gas storage and separation have been at the forefront of this ... -
Design and synthesis of macrocycles, peptides and coiled coils with sugar connections
(2016-06-09)Migrastatin is a secondary metabolite that is formed from the bacterium Streptomyces platensis. This compound has shown promising anti-metastatic activity by inhibiting tumour cell migration. Published derivatives of this ... -
Design and synthesis of novel constrained glycomimetics as inhibitors of galectins and galactosidases
(NUI Galway, 2023-10-10)Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction to carbohydrate structure, discussing factors influencing reactivity and conformation, such as the anomeric and exo-anomeric effect. Chapter 1 mentions methods of structural analysis ... -
Design concepts for building products optimised for deconstruction
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2022-02)The Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of Wooden building components (InFutUReWood) project aims to answer two main questions: ¿ How easy is it to reuse timber from the current building stock, especially as ... -
Design Exploration of EMBRACE Hardware Spiking Neural Network Architecture and Applications
(2014-02-05)The operation and structure of the human brain has inspired the development of next generation smart embedded computing systems. The cognitive abilities of the human brain have been partially explained by the dense and ... -
A design for environment (DFE) product analysis
(2007)Environmental legislation is holding electrical and electronic manufacturers accountable for the disposal of their products at end of life. In order to reduce disposal costs, manufacturers are seeking to optimise product ... -
