An empirical study into the use of 7 quality control tools in higher education institutions (HEIs)
(Emerald, 2022-09-13)Ireland has developed a highly successful medical device cluster. Most of the industry started from USA multinationals that moved to Ireland in the 1990s. An ecosystem has now developed with strong linkages between ... -
An empirical study of the impact of systems thinking and simulation on sustainability education
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)Education for sustainable development (ESD) is considered vital to the success of the United Nations¿ sustainable development goals. Systems thinking has been identified as a core competency that must be included in ESD. ... -
Empowering learners with self-selecting learning tools
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)Students need to be encouraged while in the liminal space i.e. the learning journey in the process of mastering a threshold concept (Land et al, 2014) (Meyer & Land, 2003). However, this learning journey can either be a ... -
Enabling Legacy PTP Cameras and Printers as Networked PTP/IP Appliances
(IEEE, 2007-04-10)PTP/IP is a new connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances which combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of picture transfer protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ... -
End use level water and energy interactions: A large non-residential building case study
(MDPI, 2018-06-19)Within the European Union, buildings account for around 40% of the energy use and 36% of CO2 emissions, thus representing a significant challenge in the context of recent EU directives that require all new buildings to be ... -
End-of-waste criteria: Helper or hindrance for the circular economy in Ireland?
(School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University College Dublin, 2022)It is imperative that societies identify and implement mitigation measures to reduce the impact of the climate crisis on the environment, the economy, and human health. A circular economy provides an opportunity to shift ... -
An end-user led approach for assessing the feasibility of small-scale wind energy projects
(NUI Galway, 2017-06-18)The successful realization of a wind energy project, i.e. a wind farm, wind plant or, in its simplest form, a single wind turbine generator, WTG, strongly depends on accurate assessment of wind energy resources at the ... -
Energy efficiency facets: Innovative district cooling systems
(Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Center, 2017-03-31)Cooling demand in buildings is globally increasing, therefore developing more efficient cooling systems is important for the sustainability of European cities. Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the ... -
An energy management maturity model for multi-site industrial organisations with a global presence
(Elsevier, 2017-07-27)Literature reviewed suggests energy maturity models are in their infancy in the energy management sector, with little practical guidance for their implementation in multi-site organisations. In addressing this gap, this ... -
Energy transfer ratio for hydraulic pile driving hammers
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)The ability of hydraulic pile driving hammers to overcome energy losses during freefall enables a greater proportion of the impact energy to be transferred to the pile in comparison to diesel hammers. This percentage, ... -
Engineering in Communities Learning by Doing
(2012)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on a number of initiatives in civil engineering undergraduate programmes at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) that allow students to complete engineering ... -
An enhanced phenomenological model to predict surface-based localised corrosion of magnesium alloys for medical use
(Elsevier, 2023-01-05)This study developed an enhanced phenomenological model for the predictions of surface-based localised corrosion of magnesium alloys for use in medical applications. The modelling framework extended previous surface-based ... -
Enhanced real-time face models from stereo imaging for gaming applications
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)Techniques for improved 2D active appearance face models are presented. When these are applied to stereoscopic image pairs we show that sufficient information on image depth is obtained to generate an approximate 3D face ... -
Enhancement of a data management system using design for Lean Six Sigma
(Springer, Cham, 2023-02-12)Ireland has developed a highly successful medical device cluster. The cluster experience accelerated growth during the 1990s when many USA multinationals established manufacturing sites. Manufacturing is the driving force ... -
Enhancement of bauxite residue as a low-cost absorbent for phosphorus in aqueous solution, using seawater and gypsum treatments.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-20)Bauxite residue (red mud), the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150Mt per annum. Due to its highly alkaline nature, many refineries use neutralisation ... -
Enhancing low grade sitka spruce glulam beams with bonded-in BFRP rods
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2014)The reinforcement of timber elements using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the stiffness of members, while at the same time reducing the variability ... -
Enterprise knowledge management
(2000)The knowledge-based theory of a firm suggests that knowledge is the only remaining sustainable resource that can provide competitive advantage in dynamic environments. Knowledge is a key resource that must be actively ... -
