A detailed chemical kinetic modeling, ignition delay time and jet-stirred reactor study of methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2016-01-29)A shock tube (ST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) have been used to measure new ignition delay times for methanol oxidation over a wide range of pressures (2-50 atm) and equivalence ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0). These ... -
Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(IEEE, 2014)Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ... -
Detection of Extended VHE Gamma Ray Emission from G106.3+2.7 with VERITAS
(2009)We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7. Observations performed in 2008 with the VERITAS atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope resolve extended ... -
Detection of Pulsed Gamma Rays Above 100 GeV from the Crab Pulsar
(2011)We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 Gigaelectronvolts (GeV) with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The detection cannot be explained on the basis of ... -
Detection of vehicles using fisheye cameras
(2017-05-10)An image processing system capable of detecting vehicles within the vicinity of the ego vehicle for use in a surround view camera system (SVC) is presented in this thesis. Image processing based object detection can be ... -
The detention of voluntary and involuntary patients in mental health facilities: the ethical considerations
(Department of Health, 2015)It has been estimated that one in four people will experience some form of mental ill-health in their lifetime.1 This can range from feelings of anxiety, to depression, to more severe mental health problems, such as ... -
Detention without trial in the United Kingdom: From empire to the 'War on Terror'
(2014-05-16)This thesis analyses detention without trial in the United Kingdom by applying a socio-legal lens to several instances where these extra-judicial powers have been adopted. What will emerge from this examination is twofold. ... -
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment: An analysis of Japanese Investment in Ireland using the Kano model
(IEEE, 2013-06)This paper presents findings from an analysis of the location-specific foreign direct investment (FDI) factors that attract Japanese multinational companies (MNCs) to Ireland. Data was collected from 11 Japanese MNCs and ... -
The determinants of lifestyle counselling among practice nurses in Ireland.
(Institute of Health Promotion and Education, 2008-08)Aim: To assess the practice of lifestyle counselling among practice nurses (PNs) by measuring the frequency, perceived effectiveness and barriers to lifestyle counselling. Methods: A survey questionnaire was sent to all ... -
The Determinants of Residential Gas Demand in Ireland
(Department of Economics, National University of Ireland, Galway, 2014)This paper examines the determinants of residential gas demand in Ireland using a microeconometric analysis of the daily gas consumption panel data from Ireland's Smart Metering Gas Consumer Behavioural Trial. It also ... -
Determination of flushing characteristics of the Irish Sea: A spatial approach
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-12-08)The Authors devised a novel generic approach to assessing the flushing of the Irish Sea through the determination of spatially distributed residence times and the development of flushing homogeneity curves. Results indicate ... -
Determination of friction coefficient in unconfined compression of brain tissue
(Elsevier, 2012-10)Unconfined compression tests are more convenient to perform on cylindrical samples of brain tissue than tensile tests in order to estimate mechanical properties of the brain tissue because they allow for homogeneous ... -
Determining Unique Fingerprint Features for Biometric Encoding of Data
(IEEE, 2008-01-09)A novel approach to determining unique fingerprint features with high repeatability is described. The techniques described are particularly suitable for CE applications and devices employing inexpensive capacitative ... -

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.
