Soft sensor modelling for the inline characterisation of polylactide (PLA) in a twin screw extrusion process /
(2019)
The development of a soft sensor technology to predict material properties of
polylactide (PLA), extruded from a twin screw extrusion process, has been ex amined in this study. PLA is a bioresorbable (or biodegradable ...
An investigation into the keying behaviour and the capacity of plate anchors in sand
(2014-10)
This thesis considers the potential of plate anchors as an anchoring option for offshore renewable energy devices such as wave energy converters and floating offshore wind turbines. In this study the performance of a plate ...
Analysis of a sustainable travel modal share study at the IT Sligo campus
(2015)
Research was carried out at IT Sligo to determine travel modes, and views and preferences
of commuter stakeholders on sustainable transport provision. Findings were planned to
provide inputs into development of a workplace ...
Experimental and numerical analysis of three-dimensional free-surface turbulent vortex flows with strong circulation
(2015)
Strong free-surface vortex flows are widely employed in various civil engineering and industrial applications. However, a review of the state-of-the-art suggests that a number of areas surrounding the underlying flow ...
Biomass CHP optimisation
(2011)
Ever increasing competition in the energy market place is driving companies to revaluate their
current operation and develop means o f delivering their product in a more cost effective
manner. Electricity generation is ...
Opening education through competency based assessment
(2013)
Although Open Educational Resources and Practices, and other innovations contain huge
potential to transform lifelong learning, there are unnecessary regulatory barriers, and
Competency Based Assessment may be the key ...
Coding theory, group automorphisms and units of finite group algebras
(2014-10)
Group Algebras can be used to construct Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) and Convolution Codes. These codes have applications within digital communication and storage, such as to improve the performance of digital ...
Back to the future: the power of traditional teaching with modern communication
(2010)
The use of information and communication technologies in the delivery of higher education is heavily influenced by academic researchers in the fields of e-learning and education. The primary interest of such academics is ...
Machine vision for the quality assessment of emulsions in pharmaceutical processing /
(IEEE, 2018-10-21)
Emulsion quality evaluation using machine vision
techniques depends on the efficiency of the image segmentation
algorithms. Two different machine vision techniques are
investigated to determine their competency in ...
