Phase noise analysis of Colpitts and Hartley CMOS oscillators
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
This paper reports comparative analyses of the phase noise predictions through Cadence simulations for two LC oscillator topologies: Colpitts and Hartley oscillators. The oscillators have been designed and phase noise ...
Design implementation and evaluation of a tablet-based student response system for an engineering classroom
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Student response systems (SRSs) have generated significant debate and discussion in the educational research literature in the past decade. It is well known that they offer several important advantages including encouraging ...
Budgetary and redundancy optimisation of homogeneous series-parallel systems subject to availability constraints using matlab implemented genetic computing
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
This paper deals with finding optimal structures and redundant safety designs with minimal costs for series-Parallel multi state system (MSS) configurations subject to availability constraints using genetic algorithms as ...
Formal verification of ‘full chip’ containing ‘shell’ partitions with and without feed-thrus
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
The `Full Chip' module of an ASIC is made up of various partitions and similar to individual partitions, it also goes through various stages of the physical design. The initial design-planning works on the existing pins ...
Synthesis and characterisation of some osmium and ruthenium complexes and the application of Os(bpy)2-(pyridine-4-COOH)-CI in an electrochemical DNA biosensor
(2008)
This thesis details the synthesis and characterisation of seven osmium and ruthenium
bipyridyl complexes, reports on their electrochemical characteristics and outlines an
application for one of the synthesised complexes ...
An Exploratory study of ‘Grit’ in Higher Education
(2016-08)
Academic success may not be wholly dependent on the cognitive ability of the student. Recently, other non-cognitive factors such as grit, tenacity and perseverance have been identified as important factors in the long term ...
Characterisation and investigation of alginate dressings containing hydrogen peroxide for the promotion of wound healing
(2011)
The care of chronic wounds carries a heavy financial burden on the healthcare industry,
with billons being spent annually on their treatment. This, coupled with a decreased
quality of life for sufferers, has led to an ...
Robust digital video watermarking using reversible data hiding and visual cryptography
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Watermarking is a major image processing application used to authenticate user documents by embedding and hiding some authenticated piece of information behind an image, audio or the video file. For example, copyright ...
Replicating reality: Driver assessment using dual-fidelity simulator
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
This paper presents a driving simulator constructed for the purposes of allowing a direct comparison between two levels of fidelity in the driver interaction stream. The driving simulator itself is described, followed by ...
High performance liquid chromatography method development and chemometric analysis of ecstasy and cocaine
(2011)
Consumption of illegal drugs of abuse remains a major social issue aligned with a
global law-enforcement priority. Forensic analysts are faced with the challenge of
continually developing sophisticated methods of ...
