P-PAC (partnership in pedagogy, accreditation and collaboration): a framework to support student transition to emplyability in industry. A lean systems case study
(Production Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Polish Association for Production Management, 2018-12)The global economic crisis of the past decade and the accruing shifts in labour market policy, coupled with the rapid advances in technology have resulted in a far less certain future employment horizon than ever before ... -
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: A review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2021-08-24)Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ... -
Parameterization of turbulence models using 3DVAR data
(City University of New York, 2014-01-08)In this research the 3DVAR data assimilation scheme is implemented in the numerical model DIVAST in order to optimize the performance of the numerical model by selecting an appropriate turbulence scheme and tuning its ... -
Particle swarm optimisation with gradually increasing directed neighbourhoods
(Association for Computing Machiner, 2011)Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is an intelligent random search algorithm, and the key to success is to effectively balance between the exploration of the solution space in the early stages and the exploitation of the ... -
Particle transport velocity correction for complex boundaries in the Finite Volume Particle Method
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)Particle methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and the finite volume particle method (FVPM) can suffer from strongly non-uniform and anisotropic particle distributions when purely Lagrangian particle ... -
Partnering for success: a students’ union-academic collaborative approach to supplemental instruction
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2021-03-16)This paper examines the successes and challenges of a Supplemental Instruction/Peer Assisted Learning (SI/PAL) scheme at an Irish Higher Education Institute that was the outcome of a co-working approach between academic ... -
The past, present and future in scaffold-based tendon treatments
(Elsevier, 2015-04)Tendon injuries represent a significant clinical burden on healthcare systems worldwide. As the human population ages and the life expectancy increases, tendon injuries will become more prevalent especially among young ... -
The Patent Prosecution Process [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2014-01)Patents are legal documents, but they capture and preserve rights to important engineering ideas. For this reason, they are very important to the corporations and research institutions that employ engineers. And as a ... -
Perceived non-value added activities in the research grant application process through a lean Six Sigma lens: Lean Six Sigma in higher education.
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020-11-30)Universities as part of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) operate in a climate of reduced state funding and increased oversight and competitive performance pressures. Universities are mandated to award degrees and other ... -
Perception and use of timber in construction: A case study of Ireland and the UK
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)A survey was carried out to examine the perception of timber in construction among industry stakeholders within northwest Europe. The survey received responses from 17 countries in total. The total results of all ... -
Performance and surface clogging in intermittently loaded and slow sand filters containing novel media
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-05-20)Slow sand filers are commonly used in water purification processes. However, with the emergence of new contaminants and concern over removing precursors to disinfection by-products, as well as traditional contaminants, ... -
A Performance Assessment Protocol for Structured Mesh Multi-Scale Models
(2011)Nesting techniques are used to develop multi-scale models giving higher resolution and thus greater accuracy in nested domains. The assessment of model accuracy is therefore important for the successful implementation of ... -
Performance of a stratified sand filter in removal of chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen from high-strength wastewaters.
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2007-06-01)A stratified sand filter column, operated in recirculation mode and treating synthetic effluent resembling high strength dairy wastewaters was studied over a 342 day duration. The aim of this paper was to examine the ... -
The performance of constructed wetlands treating primary, secondary and dairy soiled water in Ireland (a review).
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2011-11-01)In Ireland, no database detailing the design, influent loading rates or performance of constructed wetlands (CWs) exists. On account of this, they are designed without any protocol based on empirical data. The aim of ... -
The performance of granitic, shale and limestone forest road aggregates under repeated loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-01-20)This study compared the performance of three aggregate layerings, commonly used in the construction of unbound forest roads in Ireland, when they were subjected to repeated loading in a new large-scale test rig. These ... -
Performance of leading artifact removal algorithms assessed across microwave breast imaging prototype scan configurations
(Elsevier, 2017-03-02)Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the detection of early-stage breast cancer. One of the most important signal processing components of microwave radar-based breast imaging is early stage artifact ... -
Performance of novel media in stratified filters to remove organic carbon from lake water
(IWA Publishing, 2016-08-15)Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an ever-increasing occurrence in water networks, particularly those which abstract water from peatland areas. Although much research has been carried out to discover novel methods to ... -
