Empathy and teamwork: reflections on the legacy of Claudio Ciborra through the phenomenology of Edith Stein
(2007)
Claudio Ciborra argued that the position of information and communications technology (ICT) in organisations requires a shift from the present focus on the scientific paradigm to an alternative centre of gravity: human ...
Products end-of-life scenario modelling using linear algebra
(2003)
There are several options at the end-of-life (EOL) of a product: reuse/part reclamation, remanufacturing, recycling, incineration (with or without energy recovery) or disposal to landfill. Each option has an economic, an ...
The diffusion of WOZ: expanding the topology of IS innovations
(2007)
The growth and diffusion of self-service technology (SST) over the last decade has resulted in an increasing number of business and government transactions being completed without human assistance. One innovation in this ...
Development of a design for the environment workbench software tool
(2000)
The research described in this thesis was developed as part of the Green Advisor for Concurrent Engineering (GACE) Project. The GACE Project was founded under the Applied Research Grants Scheme administered by Enterprise ...
A decision support system for end-of-life products
(2003)
In recent years public awareness of environmental issues has increased dramatically. This awareness has resulted in increased governmental control of related matters, for example, of waste and of industrial emissions. ...
Optimising the design and manufacture of a customised, prescription fit, Maxillo-facial prosthesis
(2007)
This thesis is a continuation of the Enterprise-Ireland Research Innovation Fund (RIF) Project entitled’ "Design and Manufacturing of Customised Maxillo-Facial
Prostheses" The primary objective of this Internal Research ...
An integrated design and manufacture methodology for injection moulded components
(2002)
Traditionally, the uncertainties associated with the development of plastic injection moulded components resulted in a product development cycle of design, built and break. This sequential process adds considerable time ...
Linking the triple helix model of innovation to enterprise innovation processes
(2006)
The purpose of this paper is see how the triple helix model of innovation can be linked to enterprise innovation processes. This paper has provided some preliminary results, findings and reflections from an ongoing case ...
The development, application and implementation of embedded software algorithms for pyroelectric gas level monitors
(2006)
The research described in this thesis has been carried out over a 20-month period as part of a college /industry partnership project. This project is a partnership between the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology and Monicon ...
Factors influencing the mechanical behaviour of small devices such as stents
(2003)
A coronary stent is a mechanical device designed to open arteries that have been occluded. The manufacturing of stents involves the laser cutting of specific designs in stainless steel tubes. In order to determine factors ...
