Consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates.
(Elsevier, 2014-10-13)The true efficacy of a programme of agricultural mitigation measures within a catchment to improve water quality can be determined only after a certain hydrologic time lag period (subsequent to implementation) has elapsed. ... -
Conservation voltage reduction in secondary distribution networks with distributed generation and electric vehicle charging loads
(IEEE, 2018-08-23)This paper investigates the potential for Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) in Low Voltage (LV) secondary distribution networks. CVR is a well-established technique where the voltage in LV networks is managed at a ... -
Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ... -
Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ... -
Convolutional neural network implementation for eye-gaze estimation on low-quality consumer imaging systems
(IEEE, 2019-02-15)Accurate and efficient eye gaze estimation is important for emerging consumer electronic systems, such as driver monitoring systems and novel user interfaces. Such systems are required to operate reliably in difficult, ... -
Cooperative contractility: the role of stress fibres in the regulation of cell-cell junctions
(Elsevier, 2014-11-27)We present simulations of cell-cell adhesion as reported in a recent study [Liu et al., 2010, PNAS, 107(22), 9944-9] for two cells seeded on an array of micro-posts. The micro-post array allows for the measurement of forces ... -
Cosmic sounds: A game to support phonological awareness skills for children with dyslexia
(2022)Studies show that reduced literacy skills can negatively influence a child¿s self-esteem and future career opportunities. Literacy is significantly affected when problems exist understanding the phonological component or ... -
Cost of quality in construction
(Springer, Cham, 2023-02-12)The cost of quality while a well-established measure in the manufacturing and other industries, has shown to have limited data available within the construction industry. This case study research article seeks to establish ... -
A crash course on patents for engineers
(2013)Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ... -

The creation of a living laboratory for structural engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway
(2012)The recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the university's north campus. The building unites all five ... -
Creativity toolkit for R&D managers
(2004)In this, the twenty first century, innovation has become one of the most important and effective ways of obtaining and sustaining competitive dominance in the market place over the past number of years. Many firms are ... -
Creep improvement factors for vibro-replacement design
(ICE Publishing, 2017-02)Although the vibro-replacement stone column technique is being deployed increasingly in soft cohesive soil deposits in which creep settlements may be significant/dominant, the majority of existing stone column settlement ... -
A critical analysis of plastic flow behaviour in axisymmetric isothermal and Gleeble compression testing
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-08-16)Coupled thermo-mechanical finite element modelling of both isothermal axisymmetric compression and compression testing using the Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator has been carried out in order to compare the levels of ... -
