The Internet has acted as an effective catalyst for remote demonstration and experimentation in recent years through the medium of virtual laboratories. These laboratories can be especially useful in science and technology ...
Integrated design to manufacturing process of customised maxillofacial prostheses
(2004)
The results of the CORD feasibility study carried out at the beginning of the present research showed that little research has been done regarding the design and manufacturing processes of large customised titanium implants ...
Towards a machine enabled semantic framework for the distributed engineering design
(2004)
The overall aim of this thesis is to identify and propose a suitable architectural framework for supporting cooperation processes and therefore enabling semantics within the distributed engineering design environment. The ...

(2004)
Ireland's coastal and marine environments hold significant sand and gravel resources. A 1989 Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) Report noted that sand and gravel is a valuable but depleting resource. The extraction of sands ...
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)
T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ...

Distribution, seasonal occurrence, recruitment and growth of juvenile commercial flatfish species on the west coast of Ireland
(2004)
The population dynamics of juvenile flatfish were investigated on the west coast of
Ireland. Firstly, beach seining was carried out to assess spatial and temporal variations
in flatfish assemblages, on sandy beach nursery ...
Monitoring intertidal community change in a warming world
(2004)
If the earth’s climate is warming as predicted, the effects of this environmental change may begin to appear along a range of biological scales, including ecosystems, communities, populations and individual species. The ...
