Implementation of a Lean 4.0 project to reduce non-value add waste in a medical device company
(MDPI, 2022-11-22)The fourth industrial revolution, also referred to as Industry 4.0, has resulted in many changes within the manufacturing industry. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate how an Industry 4.0 project was scoped and ... -
Implementation of an ambient intelligence (AmI) system in a manufacturing SME
(IOS Press, 2008)SME are facing greater challenges due to increased labour cost and reduced cycle times. To adapt to this change more effectively and efficiently they need systems in place that adapt to change easily and seamlessly. This ... -
Implementation of an AmI system in a Manufacturing SME
(2008)SME's are facing greater challenges due to increased labour cost and reduced cycle times. To adapt to these challenges they need systems in place that will enable them to be flexible, effective and efficient. This is the ... -
Implementing a customised Lean Six Sigma methodology at a compound animal feed manufacturer in Ireland
(Emerald, 2023-01-27)This study aims to propose a tailored Lean Six Sigma framework providing an accessible Lean Six Sigma methodology for compound feed manufacturers with the aim of mitigating rising costs and increasingly complex demands ... -
Implications of applied best management practice for peatland forest harvesting
(Elsevier (ScienceDirect), 2013-12-20)Elevated levels of nutrients and suspended sediment (SS), and changes to other environmental parameters, are frequently associated with forestry harvesting (clearfelling) operations, and are indicative of the potentially ... -
An improved experimental test set-up to study the performance of granular columns
(ASTM International, 2006-03)This paper describes an innovative design of a newly developed large test setup for testing the performance of footings supported on soft clay reinforced with granular columns. This advanced testing method is used to examine ... -
An improved unified viscoplastic model for strain-rate sensitivity in high temperature fatigue
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-11-21)An improved unified cyclic viscoplastic material model for high temperature fatigue of P91 steel is presented. The primary enhancement over existing models is in relation to strain-rate independence of parameters, for ... -
Improving spectral library search by redefining similarity measures
(Journal Of Chemical Information And Modeling, 2015-04-22)Similarity plays a central role in spectral library search. The goal of spectral library search is to identify those spectra in a reference library of known materials that most closely match an unknown query spectrum, on ... -
Improving the Delivery of a Construction Management Study-Abroad Course in Ireland through Student Feedback
(2012)International study abroad offers limitless opportunities for students to learn outside of the traditional university setting. By living and learning in a foreign country, the student's exposure to a different culture can ... -
Improving the finite element model accuracy of tissue engineered scaffolds produced by selective laser sintering
(Springer Verlag, 2015-01-13)In bone tissue engineering, both geometrical and mechanical properties of a scaffold play a major part in the success of the treatment. The mechanical stresses and strains that act on cells on a scaffold in a physiological ... -
An in vitro bone tissue regeneration strategy combining chondrogenic and vascular priming enhances the mineralization potential of mesenchymal stem cells In vitro while also allowing for vessel formation
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2015-03-03)Chondrogenic priming (CP) of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and coculture of MSCs with human umbilical vein endothelial stem cells (HUVECs) both have been shown to significantly increase the potential for MSCs to undergo ... -
In-camera person-indexing of digital images
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2006-01-07)A prototype implementation of an automatic in-camera cataloging tool is presented. An external infrastructure to store and analyze images and support the in-camera cataloging tool is also described. -
In-situ SEM study of fatigue micro-crack initiation and propagation behavior in pre-corroded AA7075-T7651
(Elsevier, 2020-04-18)Fatigue micro-cracking behavior in pre-corroded AA7075-T7651 is analyzed by in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and SEM-based fractography. The experimental results show that (i) fatigue microcracks ... -
Inactivation efficiency of Bacillus endospores via modified flow-through PUV treatment with comparison to conventional LPUV treatment
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)Water is a fragile resource, consequently there is a pressing need to develop sustainable environmental-friendly disinfection technologies. This constitutes the first study to compare efficacy of continuous low-pressure ... -
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry.
(Elsevier, 2012-09)Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. ... -
Incompressible moving boundary flows with the finite volume particle method
(Elsevier, 2010-03-24)Mesh-free methods offer the potential for greatly simplified modeling of flow with moving walls and phase interfaces. The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free technique based on interparticle fluxes which ... -
Increasing resource efficiency in wastewater treatment plants: EPA Research Report 168
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016-03)The focus of this project was the resource efficiency of Irish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The perspective of the report is both operational (economic) and environmental. Wastewater treatment is a resource-intensive ... -
Incremental learning in a capstone project: Not all mature students are the same
