Economic Impact Assessment: The Creative Sector in the Western Region
(Centre for Innovation and Structural Change on behalf of the Western Development Commission, 2011-06)The 'Creative West' report by the Western Development Commission in 2009 was the first attempt to map out the Creative Sector in an Irish context. This economic impact assessment follows on from that report by assessing ... -
Edge2Guard: Botnet attacks detecting offline models for resource-constrained IoT devices
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-03-22)In today's IoT smart environments, dozens of MCU-based connected device types exist such as HVAC controllers, smart meters, smoke detectors, etc. The security conditions for these essential IoT devices remain unsatisfactory ... -
Edge2Train: A framework to train machine learning models (SVMs) on resource-constrained IoT edge devices
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2020-10-06)In recent years, ML (Machine Learning) models that have been trained in data centers can often be deployed for use on edge devices. When the model deployed on these devices encounters unseen data patterns, it will either ... -

EDVE: An Energy Diagnosis Visualization Environment
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2014-04-03)In this paper we describe the motivations, development and results of EDVE: the Energy Diagnosis Visualization Environment that helps to quickly visualize faults and anomalies in energy consumption at the whole building ... -
The effect of aligned electrospun fibers and macromolecular crowding in tenocyte culture
(Elsevier Academic Press, 2019-11-30)Tendon injuries continuously rise, and regeneration is not only slow, but also limited due to the poor endogenous healing ability of the tendon tissue. Tissue grafts constitute the clinical gold standard treatment for ... -
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 sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibition on the Aldosterone/Renin Ratio in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(Thieme Publishing, 2018-12-06)The aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) is recommended for case detection of primary aldosteronism (PA). Several factors including medications can undermine its diagnostic accuracy. The objective was to explore the effect of ... -
Effectiveness of a structured education reminiscence-based programme for staff on the quality of life of residents with dementia in long-stay units: A study protocol for a cluster randomised trial.
(BioMed Central, 2011-02)Background: Current projections indicate that there will be a significant increase in the number of people with dementia in Ireland, from approximately 40,000 at present to 100,000 by 2036. Psychosocial interventions, such ... -
The Effectiveness of Decision Support Systems on Mobile Devices
(2008-11-26)This paper reports the results of an experiment as part of a study assessing the impact of decision aid use on performance-based decision-making. We examine the effect of a single- user decision support mechanism for ... -
Effects and mechanisms of action of sildenafil citrate in human chorionic arteries
