The impact of thermal degradation on properties of electrical machine winding insulation material
(IEEE, 2016)Interturn stator short circuits can develop quickly leading to serious damage of an electric machine. However, degradation mechanisms of winding insulation material are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the main ... -
Improving the visual stimuli for brain-computer interfaces
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Visual stimuli are traditionally used to operate Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems employing the Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) technique. In this technique, when a BCI user’s visual system is exposed ... -
‘In the common light of day’: gender and socio-political Issues in Jane Barlow’s early prose fiction – Irish Idylls (1892), Kerrigan’s Quality (1894), and The Founding of Fortunes (1902)
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)Jane Barlow (1856 -1917) was one of the most popular and prolific Irish authors of her day. A writer of poetry, short-stories, and novels, her work was widely-read both in her native country, and abroad. The primary objective ... -
Increasing student motivation and awareness towards career opportunities through gamification
(2017-10)Student engagement is important to ensure success towards their desired career opportunities (High and Andrews, 2009). Students engage with their coursework to receive the necessary grades to avoid failure (Covington, ... -
Induced plant accumulation of lithium
(MDPI, 2018)Lithium’s (Li) value has grown exponentially since the development of Li-ion batteries. It is usually accessed in one of two ways: hard rock mineral mining or extraction from mineral-rich brines. Both methods are expensive ... -
The influence of attitudes to local food and authenticity on tourist behaviour
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Tourists are travelling to destinations in search of food experiences which are considered local and authentic. This study investigates tourist attitudes to local food interest on destination choice, travel motivation, ... -
Insights into the mechanisms of Cronobacter sakazakii virulence
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Cronobacter species have adapted to survive harsh conditions, particularly in the food manufacture environment, and can cause life-threatening infections in susceptible hosts. These opportunistic pathogens employ a multitude ... -
Interdisciplinary gerontological research by design
(British Society of Gerontology, 2021-07-09)Increasingly, gerontological research requires interdisciplinary approaches to address complex research questions. Design methods have been proven to facilitate the growth of interdisciplinary research as they are agile, ... -
The Internet in East Africa: a mixed methods study
(East African Journal of Science, Technology and Innovation, 2020)East Africa was the last major area of the world to gain access to the Internet when submarine fibre-optic cables landed at Mombasa, Kenya and Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania in 2009. The region previously relied on satellite ... -
Intra-rater test-retest reliability of hip abduction, internal and external rotation strength measurements in a healthy cohort using a handheld dynamometer and a portable stabilisation device: A pilot study
(Elsevier, 2020)Objective: To investigate the within-day and between-day test-retest reliability of hip abduction, internal rotation and external rotation strength measurements taken using a portable device externally stabilising a handheld ... -
Investigating cooking and heating product needs for irish older adults
