Early-stage dielectric characterisation of renal cell carcinoma for positive surgical margin detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Partial nephrectomy is preferred to total nephrectomy tor clinically localised renal cell carcinoma. In order to minimise the risk of local tumour recurrence after partial nephrectomy, ideally, the surgical margins of the ... -
Economic analysis of pig manure treatment options in Ireland.
(2012)An economic analysis was performed on treatment options for pig manure in Ireland. Costs were based on a 500 sow integrated pig farm producing 10,500 m3 of manure per year at 4.8 % dry matter. The anaerobic digestion of ... -

Edge-AI: Rise of the neural accelerators
(EMAI 2019 Emerging Memory and Artificial Intelligence Workshop, 2019-08-29)We are at the cusp of a new era in AI. Recently deep learning has revolutionised the field of Computer Vision, disrupting more traditional algorithmic approaches to object recognition, scene analysis and image understanding. ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(2012)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(Elsevier, 2012-05-18)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ... -
Effect of fast pyrolysis conditions on biomass solid residues at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2015-12-03)Fast pyrolysis of wood and straw was conducted in a drop tube furnace (DTF) and compared with corresponding data from a wire mesh reactor (WMR) to study the influence of temperature (1000–1400)°C, biomass origin (pinewood, ... -
The effect of feedstock origin and temperature on the structure and reactivity of char from pyrolysis at 1300 2800 °C
(Elsevier, 2018-07-31)This study reports the effect of feedstock origin, residence time, and heat treatment temperature on CO2 and O2 reactivities, nanostructure and carbon chemistry of chars prepared at 1300, 1600, 2400, and 2800 °C in a slow ... -
The effect of ferrite phases on the micromechanical response and crack initiation in the intercritical heat-affected zone of a welded 9Cr martensitic steel
(Wiley, 2018-02-08)This paper presents a crystal plasticity model to predict the tensile response and crack initiation in a mixed ferrite-martensite material with a low volume fraction of pro-eutectoid ferrite, representative of a welding-induced ... -
The effect of grain orientation on fretting fatigue plasticity and life prediction
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014)A study on crystal and J2J2 plasticity prediction of fretting fatigue is presented, using a microstructure-sensitive fatigue parameter for crystal plasticity crack nucleation and a critical-plane (multiaxial) fatigue ... -
Effect of high-temperature corrosion on the service life of P91 piping in biomass co-firing
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016-02-24)Co-firing biomass with traditional fuels is becoming increasingly relevant to thermal power plant operators due to increasingly stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. It has been found that when biomass is ... -
Effect of hydroxyapatite on biodegradable scaffolds fabricated by SLS
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2009)Selective laser sintering (SLS) has the potential to fabricate bioresorbable polymer / ceramic composite scaffolds with pre-designed external and internal architecture that can be used for bone tissue engineering applications. ... -
The effect of inclusions on the high‐temperature low‐cycle fatigue performance of cast MarBN: Experimental characterisation and computational modelling
(Wiley, 2018-06-15)The presence of inclusions is a known source of crack initiation and component failure in cast materials. In this work, the role of inclusions is investigated via a combined program of high-temperature low-cycle fatigue ... -
The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair
