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
(IGI Global, 2020-04)Organizations are moving away from rigid planning to a more incremental style of planning and execution in projects. There is a growing acceptance of the effectiveness of incremental change, both in industry projects and ... -
Indentation characterization of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composite samples aged in artificial salt water at elevated temperature
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)Micro-level composite properties are a key determinant of the long-term performance and life span of marine-based composite structures. In this paper, the effect of the aging process in salt water at room temperature and ... -
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
(Elsevier, 2018-05-07)Achieving standards-based Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in existing buildings is growing steadily due to the strong demand for deep retrofits in Europe. Existing non-domestic buildings pose challenges mainly due to ... -
Industry 4.0 benefits, challenges and critical success factors: a comparative analysis through the lens of resource dependence theory across continents and economies
(Emerald, 2023-06-21)The study ranks benefits, challenges and CSFs across economies and continents. Further, the benefit of Industry 4.0 helping to achieve organizational efficiency and agility differed across the developing and developed ... -
The influence of age on the timber properties and grading of Scots pine and larch in Ireland
(Oxford University Press, 2023-06-13)Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and larch (Larix spp.) are two species that could contribute to diversifying Ireland’s timber supply. However, there is little knowledge about their properties as well as their variation ... -
The Influence of Cell Type on Artificial Development
(2013)Two variants of biologically inspired cell model, namely eukaryotic (containing a nucleus) and prokaryotic (without a nucleus) are compared in this research. Experiments are designed to provide an understanding of how the ... -
