Characterisation and optimisation of transport temperature control units in heat mode
(2005)
The control of air temperature within trailer food-compartment during road transportation of perishable products is critical as it influences the deterioration rate and the quality loss of food more than any other factor. ...
Integrated design to manufacturing process of customised maxillofacial prostheses
(2004)
The results of the CORD feasibility study carried out at the beginning of the present research showed that little research has been done regarding the design and manufacturing processes of large customised titanium implants ...
Development of a prototype knowledge discovery portal for energy informatics
(2013)
This paper describes the development of a prototype knowledge discovery portal (KDP) for energy informatics. The research domain is Ireland which is increasingly challenged to achieve energy efficiency targets and to ...
Suitability of adaptive self-regulated e-learning to vocational training: a pilot study in heat pump system installation
(2015)
Many studies have been conducted, mainly in a university environment, and researchers have identified both advantages and disadvantages of e-learning. Very little is known about the applicability and suitability of
e-learning ...
Combining self-regulation and competence-based guidance to personalise the learning experience in moodle
(2015)
Adaptive learning systems aim to address a learner’s specific needs, considering factors such as prior knowledge, learning efficiency, learning goals and motivation. Especially in distance education, often directed to adult ...
Managing lean supply and innovation: cross-cultural knowledge transfer in an multi-national company
(2007)
There is growing evidence that organisations are increasingly using the concept of lean supply to foster innovation. This paper considers key factors that influence this management approach in the context of the cross-cultural ...
The philosophical universe and the information systems research journey: a hitchhiker's guide to a virtual galaxy
(2014)
There is concern among information systems (IS) scholars that the lack of philosophical
engagement and conviction among the research community threatens the future integrity and
creativity of the research process. The ...
Reflections on reflection in action research: notes from a field study
(2008)
There is wide agreement in the literature that “reflection” is a critical component in the
methodology of action research (AR). This paper argues that there is little practical guidance
for information systems researchers ...
Development of a method for the characterisation of the compliance and stiffness matrices of uncoupled laminates
(1999)
The mechanical behaviour of composite materials is defined by three matrices of
stiffness/compliance : in-plane, flexure and coupling matrix between in-plane and
flexure. The present work gives a method of test to ...
Towards a meta-theoretical framework for innovation and information systems research
(2012)
The importance of theory to the IS discipline is the subject of ongoing debate and there have been recent
calls for novel conceptualizations to stimulate research. In the area of innovation, one of the main
conclusions ...
