(IEEE Xplore, 2020-03)The availability of affordable head-mounted display technology has facilitated new, potentially more immersive, interactive multimedia experiences. These technologies were traditionally focused on entertainment; however, ... -
Self-modelled versus skilled-peer modelled AO+IM effects on skilled sensorimotor performance.
(Elsevier, 2020-03-14)Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are simulation states that have been demonstrated to independently enhance motor skill performance. Historically, AO and MI were examined in isolation from one another; however ... -
Effect of unidirectional freezing using a thermal camera on polyvinyl (alchohol) for aligned porous cyrogels.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-03-18)Unidirectional freeze casting for polymers and ceramics has been performed extensively; however, the mechanisms involved in unidirectional freezing are not thoroughly understood and therefore, in this study, polyvinyl ... -
Brexit anticipated economic shock on Ireland's planning for hospitality and tourism: resilience, volatility and exposure.
(Emerald, 2020-01-22)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore tourism scenario planning for an anticipated shock as viewed through the lens of Irish hospitality managers preparing for Brexit. The research appropriates a climate science ... -
Freeze-thaw electrospun PVA-Dacarbazine nanoparticles: preparation, characterization and anticancer evalution.
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2019-06-13)Dacarbazine (DTIC) is an antitumor agent that has limited clinical applications due to its insolubility, instability and toxicity to normal cells. One possibility to achieve controlled release is PVA-based NPs. This work ... -
A quality of experience assessment of haptic and augmented reality feedback modalities in a gait analysis system.
(Public Library of Science, 2020-03-23)Gait analysis is a technique that is used to understand movement patterns and, in some cases, to inform the development of rehabilitation protocols. Traditional rehabilitation approaches have relied on expert guided feedback ... -
Oxide layer containing apatite formed on Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy treated by two-step plasma electrolytic oxidation.
(Elsevier, 2020-01-25)Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive calcium phosphate capable of enhancing the implant/bone connection improving osteoconductivity and osseointegration process. However, the HA presents mechanical properties limiting its ... -
Electrospun natural polysaccharide for biomedical applications.
(Elsevier, 2019-07-27)Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique in nanotechnology for fabricating nanofibers scaffolds for tissue regenerations, drug delivery systems, wound healing, and cancer therapy. This chapter provides a synopsis ... -
Comparison of fused-filament fabrication to direct compression and injection molding in the manufacture of oral tablets.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)Oral tablets are a convenient form to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and have a high level of acceptance from clinicians and patients. There is a wide range of excipients available for the fabrication of ... -
Real-time, content-based communication load reduction in the Internet of Multimedia Things.
(MDPI, 2020-02-08)There is an increasing number of devices available for the Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT). The demands these ever-more complex devices make are also increasing in terms of energy efficiency, reliability, quality-of-service ... -
Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles: a review of the synthesis methodology and mechanism of formation.
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Zinc oxide is of significant importance for many industries due to its versatile properties, which have been enhanced with the production of this material in the nanoscale. Nonetheless, the increase in concerns related to ... -
Skin detection and lightweight encryption for privacy protection in real-time surveillance applications
(Elsevier, 2020-02)An individual’s privacy protection is the concerning issue in surveillance videos. Existing research work for individual’s identification on the bases of their skin detection is focused either on different human skin ... -
Orthopaedic 3D printing in orthopaedic medicine.
(Springer, 2019-09-17)Orthopaedic surgeries are commonly extremely challenging, and innovations are required to overcome a series of recognised difficulties and improve patient outcomes. Complications, in particular, the high occurrence of ... -
Analysis of the mechanical properties of solvent cast blends of PLA/PCL.
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-09)Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most promising material in the biodegradable category. However, brittleness and poor thermal stability restrict its application. To overcome this limitation, PLA may be blended with other ... -
Stability studies of hot-melt extruded ternary solid dispersions of poorly-water soluble Indomethacin with Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) and polyethylene oxide.
(Elsevier, 2019-08)This investigation aims to evaluate the effect of moisture and temperature on the physical stability and dissolution behaviour of hot-melt extruded binary and plasticised ternary solid dispersions. Poorly water-soluble ... -
Alveolar macrophage chromatic is modified to orchestrate host response to Mycobacterium bovis infection.
(Frontiers, 2019-02-07)Bovine tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacteriumbovis, which can also cause disease in a range of other mammals, including humans. Alveolar macrophages are the key immune effector cells that first encounter ... -
3D printed polymers are less stable than injection moulded counterparts when exposed to terminal sterilization processes using novel vaporized hydrogen peroxide and electron beam processes.
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)There is an increasing trend for use of 3D printing processes in healthcare due in part to emergence of customised medical devices and associated low manufacturing cost. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the ... -
