Assessment of the hydraulic and filter performance of different drainage stone aggregates to elucidate an optimum size range for use in clay-textured soils
(Elsevier, 2023-01-18)On poorly drained grassland farms in Ireland, stone aggregates remain the only in-field drain envelope material used by contractors. A variety of aggregate sizes and lithologies are currently in use, but their performance ... -
Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ... -
Attitudes and approaches of Irish retrofit industry professionals towards achieving nearly zero-energy buildings
(Emerald, 2017-04-10)Abstract Purpose There is profound demand for higher skills and expertise in retrofitting the existing building stock of Europe. The delivery of low- or nearly zero-energy retrofits is highly dependent on technical ... -
Auditing best practice for effective product innovation management
(Science Direct, 2004-10)Over the past number of years, researchers and industrialists have recognised the need for and the importance of developing approaches to enhance competitive advantage in new product development. However, the product ... -
Automated in-camera detection of flasheye defects
(IEEE, 2005)This paper examines the problem of performing automated real-time detection of flash eye defects (redeye) in the firmware of a digital camera. Several different algorithms are compared, timing and memory requirements ... -
Automated sorting of consumer image collections using face and peripheral region image classifiers
(IEEE, 2005)An evaluation of techniques and recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. A working implementation of an automatic cataloging tool and user search tools ... -
An automated standard-based life cycle quality inspection methodology for smart precast concrete solutions in buildings
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-29)Built2Spec research project brought together a new and breakthrough set of tools in order to improve construction quality inspection processes. These can be put into the hands of construction stakeholders to help meet ... -
Automatic indexing of consumer image collections using person recognition techniques
(IEEE, 2005-01-08)An evaluation of person recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. Prototype implementations of the automatic cataloging tool and user search tools are ... -
The Automatic Morphological Description and Classification of Archaeological Monuments from Vertical Aerial Photographs.
(OESI/IMVIP, 1998)For most of this century, aerial photography has been an important technique for the discovery, recording and analysis of archaeological sites. For many regions there are vast archives of aerial photographs available; ... -
Autonomous hvac control, a reinforcement learning approach
(Springer Verlag, 2015-08-29)Abstract—Recent high profile developments of autonomous learning thermostats by companies such as Nest Labs and Honeywell have brought to the fore the possibility of ever greater numbers of intelligent devices permeating ... -

Barriers and enablers for continuous improvement methodologies within the Irish pharmaceutical industry
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)This study aims to investigate the barriers that exist when implementing continuous improvement methodologies, such as Lean Six Sigma (LSS), within the Irish Pharma industry. The main finding of this study is that 45% of ... -
Barriers and waste in the research grant application process in higher education through a Lean Six Sigma lens
(De Gruyter, 2020-09)Higher education institutions (HEIs) typically generate income from two main sources; student fees and research income. In contrast, the predominant waste streams in HEIs tend to include; (1) assignment/examination mark ... -
Barriers to FLOSS in SMEs: the lack of knowledge and skills
(IOS Press, 2005)While open source is becoming a topic of mainstream business, the level of awareness and depth of understanding of the open source paradigm still varies considerably and represents a significant barrier to broader adoption. ... -
Bayesian ANN Classifier for ECG Arrhythmia Diagnostic System: A Comparison Study
