The design of an on-line masters in technology management: a collaborative effort
(Association of Information Systems (AIS), 2005-04)The paper describes the views of the principals involved in the initial stages of planning and development of an MSc in Technology Management programme in Ireland prior to its commencement, and subsequently elicits the ... -
Design of composite tidal turbine blades
(2013-02-24)Tidal turbine blades are subjected to significant thrust and torsional loadings due to the high density ofthe seawater in which they operate. These thrust loadings lead to high bending moments at the bladeroot, which can ... -
Design of experiments approach to provide enhanced glucose-oxidising enzyme electrode for membrane-less enzymatic fuel cells operating in human physiological fluids
(Wiley, 2018-03-30)Graphite electrodes are modified with a redox polymer, [Os(4,4-dimethoxy-2,2-bipyridine)(2)(polyvinylimidazole)(10)Cl](+) (E degrees=-0.02V vs Ag/AgCl (3M KCl), crosslinked with a flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose ... -
Design of fibre-reinforced polymer composite blades for wind and tidal turbines
(2017-09)There is substantial opportunity in the development of wind and tidal current turbines to help decarbonise national energy systems and to expand the economic potential of the European Union. However, well-documented cases ... -
Design principles for the formation of ordered patterns in binary mixtures of colloidal particles on spherical droplets
(Elsevier, 2017-03-11)We elucidate the design principles for the formation of ordered structures formed by binary mixtures of particles on spherical surfaces, such as emulsion droplets, polymer vesicles, and col- loidal nanoparticles. Using ... -
Design thinking capability model: A management framework to support design thinking implementation for product development
(NUI Galway, 2019-10-08)Design thinking is lauded to reduce cost and redesign work in the new product development process and shorten lead time to development. Because of that, researchers are investigating how to use using design thinking as ... -
Design, analysis and testing of a spiral blade vertical-axis tidal turbine
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-04)The aim of this thesis is to develop a combined analytical, computational and experimental methodology for characterisation and optimisation of the hydrodynamic performance of a novel vertical-axis tidal turbine concept. ... -
Design, development and validation of a series of multiplex real-time PCR diagnostics assays for the rapid and accurate detection and differentiation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(2012-03-01)Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health concern both in developed and developing countries due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with disease. In humans, TB is caused by members of the Mycobacterium ... -
The Design, Development and Validation of a Wearable Behaviour Monitor for the Autonomous Assessment of the Functional Health of Older Adults
(2013-12-23)Functional ability describes a person's capability to perform those tasks that are necessary to live independently. It is a proven predictor of functional decline, the need for hospitalisation and institutionalisation ... -
The design, manufacture and testing of a composite polysialic acid mimetic peptide loaded collagen nerve graft for use in peripheral nerve repair
(NUI Galway, 2016-02-15)Peripheral nerve injuries can be debilitating for patients. The current gold-standard technique for peripheral nerve repair is autograft. This procedure involves harvesting a non-critical nerve from a donor site from the ... -
Design, synthesis and catalytic activity of novel oxazoline based ligands
(2015-08-14)This thesis can be viewed as two separate studies. Firstly, the design, synthesis and catalytic activity of novel 2-pyridyl mono(oxazoline). A family of mono(oxazoline) ligands were developed in which the 5-poition is ... -
