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 ... -
An investigation of the use of vision systems for the robotic control of automated vehicles
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007)Humans’ usage of the motor vehicle for transport and freight is ever increasing. It seems that the risks and level of accident rates associated with these traffic systems can only be lessened by increasingly complex systems, ... -
An investigative analysis of how influential leadership and change management strategies were during the transitional phase to a Technological University /
(2023)In Ireland, it is evidenced through the Hunt report (2011) and current literature that Higher education has had a significant role in furthering the development of Ireland’s economy and its society. Over the last decade ... -
