An evaluation of the efficacy of a contemporary engineering education framework
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The research aims to determine the role of cognitive abilities in problem solving in engineering education. The investigation of these abilities will contribute to a key objective of the research, informing curricular ...
Polarimetry and spectroscopy of the 'oxygen flaring' DQ Herculis-like nova: V5668 Sagittarii (2015).
(EDP Sciences, 2018-09-05)
Context. Classical novae are eruptions on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary system. The material ejected from the white dwarf surface generally forms an axisymmetric shell of gas and dust around the system. The ...
Quality of experience of virtual reality in industry 4.0.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
VR (Virtual Reality) is still a largely novel form of multimedia which has largely been confined to the area of entertainment. As a technology that allows one to freely explore and interact with virtual environments much ...
Preliminary characterisation of natural fibres for enhancement of concrete
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
Reinforced concrete with steel is one of the most used construction materials in the world. The addition of short bio-based fibres into the concrete mixture for the production of elements lightly loaded can avoid concrete ...
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 ...
A QoE assessment method based on EDA, heart rate and EEG of a virtual reality assistive technology system.
(ACM, 2018)
The1 key aim of various assistive technology (AT) systems is to augment an individual’s functioning whilst supporting an enhanced quality of life (QoL). In recent times, we have seen the emergence of Virtual Reality (VR) ...
Ability levels, implicit theories of intelligence, cognitive load, and fluid intelligence: an exploration into the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
(ResearchED, 2018-03-10)
Decades of empirical evidence demonstrates the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
However, a causal relationship is yet to be confirmed. This talk will present empirical data concerning
this relationship ...
Comparing user QoE via physiological and interaction measurements of immersive AR and VR speech and language therapy applications
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications are gaining significant attention in industry and academia as potential avenues to support truly immersive and interactive multimedia experiences. Understanding ...
