Design for experience: An analysis of the Irish Creative Industry
(2012)In this paper we report on the results of an exploratory study that investigated the experiences of key informants from SMEs in the Irish creative sector that are involved in design. A purposive sample of 56 small firms ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Determining Unique Fingerprint Features for Biometric Encoding of Data
(2008)A novel approach to determining unique fingerprint features with high repeatibility is described. The techniques described are particularly suitable for CE applications and devices employing inexpensive capacitative ... -
Developing a scorecard for enterprise knowledge management
(2002-05-19)Enterprise knowledge management is becoming a critical component of competitive success. Managers must ensure that they can successfully generate, leverage and reuse knowledge assets in their organisations. In this view, ... -
Developing a self assessment audit to support product innovation management
(2000)Product innovation is critical to the success of most design and manufacturing enterprises. It is widely recognised that effective co ordination, organisation and management affects product innovation success rates. Self ... -
Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ... -
Development of a structured on-the-job training model
(2007)This paper examines the potential of using knowledge management in developing a structured on-the-job training programme. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, multiple sources of evidence were collected from ... -
The development of a supplier performance evaluation tool
(2005)As product life cycles continue to shrink and global competition increases, manufacturers are outsourcing what they consider to be non-strategic activities in order to focus on their core competencies. Consequently these ... -
Development of an efficient dynamically nested model for tidal hydraulics and solute transport
(2010-06)Numerical modelling of coastal zones typically requires a high spatial resolution to accurately simulate land-sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines. As a result, the computational cost of coastal ... -
Development of life assessment procedures for power plant headers operated under flexible loading scenarios
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-12-22)A finite element methodology for thermo-mechanical fatigue analysis of a subcritical power plant outlet header under realistic loading conditions is presented. The methodology consists of (i) a transient heat transfer ... -
Development of the meshless finite volume particle method with exact and efficient calculation of interparticle area
(Elsevier, 2014-02-18)The Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is a meshless method based on a definition of interparticle area which is closely analogous to cell face area in the classical finite volume method. In previous work, the interparticle ... -
The Development of Ultra Wideband Scanning Techniques for Detection and Classification of Breast Cancer
(2010-09-30)This thesis addresses the development of imaging techniques for the early detection of breast cancer, based on Ultra Wideband (UWB) radar, a promising emerging technology that exploits the dielectric contrast between normal ... -
Different depth sand filters for laboratory treatment of synthetic wastewater with concentrations close to measured septic tank effluent
(2011)The objective of this study was to apply hydraulic and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rates at the upper limits of the design criteria for buried sand filters to test the sand filter depth design criteria. Over a ... -
Digital camera connectivity solutions using the picture transfer protocol (PTP)
(IEEE, 2002)Interconnectivity of digital camera with other devices is one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras allow more consumer-friendly ... -
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ... -
Digital imaging services using PTP (picture transfer protocol)
(IEEE, 2002-06-20)Interconnectivity of digital cameras with other devices seems to be one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras provide better usage of digital ...
