3D printed polymers are less stable than injection moulded counterparts when exposed to terminal sterilization processes using novel vaporized hydrogen peroxide and electron beam processes.
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)There is an increasing trend for use of 3D printing processes in healthcare due in part to emergence of customised medical devices and associated low manufacturing cost. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the ... -
A qualitative analysis of social care
(2016)The research commences through a literature review of the current literature available regarding aftercare in Ireland. The overall impression from the current literature identifies a huge gap in literature for a larger ... -
An abundance estimate for humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae breeding around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands
(2014)The abundance of humpback whales occurring around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands, was estimated by mark-recapture modelling. Photographs of markings on tail flukes of individual whales were collected during the breeding ... -
Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
(Elsevier, 2009-02-23)Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ... -
Access/Preparatory Studies Programmes at LYIT – Students’ Perspectives
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2016-08)There is little available research about the opinions and experiences of students who undertake Access/Preparatory Studies programmes in Ireland. This is an exploratory project which attempts to address this lack of ... -
