Scratch-resistant and well-adhered nanotube arrays produced via anodizing process on β-titanium alloy
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Well-adhered nanotube arrays were produced through the anodizing technique on a Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy and tribo-mechanically evaluated by nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests. Disregarding substrate effects, the hardness of ... -
Screening of PHB and bacterial cellulose blends and its mechanical properties impact
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)Biopolymers are polymers that are produced by or derived from living organisms, such as plants and microbes, rather than from petroleum, the traditional source of polymers. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biomaterial ... -
Seasonal changes in the physical activity levels of youth Gaelic football players
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-05-04)This study quantified changes in physical activity (PA) levels attained by adolescents during Gaelic football participation across two time points in a season and determined if these changes affected the overall daily ... -
The self-generating model: an adaptation of the self-organizing map for intellgent agents and data mining.
(Springer International, 2018-04-19)We present the Self-Generating Model (SGM), a new version of the Self-organizing Map (SOM) that has been adapted for use in intelligent data mining ALife agents. The SGM sacrifices the topology-preserving ability of the ... -
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 ... -
Self-photopolymerizable hydrogel-ceramic composites with scavenger properties
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)The photocatalytic behaviours of semiconductive ceramic nanoparticles such as TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, have been extensively studied in photocatalysis and photopolymerization, due to their ability to produce radical ... -
