Derivations of group algebras with applications /
(2020)This thesis is a study of derivations of group algebras. Derivations are shown to be trivial for semisimple group algebras of abelian groups. The derivations of a group algebra are classified in terms of the generators ... -
Design and validation of a device to measure the cutting edge profile of osteotomes
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)The cutting capacity of a cutting instrument is normally defined as its sharpness, which defines the ability of the cutting edge to cut the target material. Many factors therefore affect the ability of a blade to cut, ... -
The design and validation of a multi-layer model of human skin
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007-04)Human skin is a complex multi-layered material consisting of the epidermis, dermis and underlying hypodermis. For several decades, much effort has gone into the development of mathematical and computer models of skin. A ... -
Distributed micro-control and demand side management in district heated systems /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2013) -
The effect of organic fibres on the undrained shear strength of soil
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2013)Accurate determination of soil’s undrained shear strength is essential to make informed decisions regarding construction or maintenance problems. Reduced scale modelling can achieve accurate predictions of in-situ field ... -
The effects of detergent loading on rotating biological contactor (RBC) wastewater treatment efficiency
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2000-01) -
Evaluation of the determinism of the actuator sensor interface (ASI) on programmable logic controllers (PLC), personal computers (PC) and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2004-09) -
Experimental and numerical analysis of three-dimensional free-surface turbulent vortex flows with strong circulation
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 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 ... -
An experimental investigation of arching in piled embankments and embankments overlying voids
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2012) -
An experimental investigation of helical piles subject to inclined pullout loads /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2017) -
An explorative analysis of effective project management of research and research-related projects within a newly formed multi-campus Technology University /
(Atlantic Technological University, Sligo, 2023)Higher education will be crucial in the coming decades in helping to make Ireland a nation known for innovation, competitive enterprise, and ongoing academic success, as well as a desirable location to live and work ... -
An integrated computer vision and machine learning system for emulsion processing /
(2020)The existing quality evaluation of emulsions is typically based on subjective examination of samples under the microscope by trained analysts. The major drawbacks of such manual assessment include inter-observer variability, ... -
Integration of district heating with existing combined cycle gas turbines in North Dublin
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)There is potential in Ireland for the development o f existing large scale CCGT by conversion to CHP. A district heating network developed for North Dublin would provide this opportunity for CCGT generating stations. ... -
An investigation into environmental sustainability in third level colleges in Ireland
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)The global drive toward sustainability is well under way. Academic institutions have an important role to play in this shift towards sustainability. Third level educational establishments, as part o f the wider public ... -
An investigation into the commercialisation of final year projects within Creative Design courses
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2014)The aim of this study is to identify and investigate the barriers to commercialisation of Final Year Projects within Creative Design courses. The term Creative Design refers to Creative Design, Product Design and Industrial ... -
An investigation into the keying behaviour and the capacity of plate anchors in sand
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 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 ... -
An investigation into the utilisation of energy in landfill gas to supply a community electricity and district heating scheme
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of producing and distributing energy in the form electricity and district heating, derived from LFG (Landfill Gas) produced by an existing municipal waste stream. The ... -
An investigation of geosynthetic reinforced piled embankments with particular reference to embankment extremities
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2013)The design of reinforced piled embankments is a complex soil-structure interaction problem involving embankment fill, geosynthetic reinforcement, a pile group and the soft underlying soil. In designing a reinforced piled ...
