The quantification of wind turbulence by means of the fourier dimension
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Signal Processing within the frequency domain has long been associated with electrical engineering as a means to quantify the characteristics of voltage/current waveforms. Historically, wind speed data (speed/direction) ...
Prototype test insertion co-processor for agile development in multi-threaded embedded environments
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Agile methodologies have been shown useful in constructing Enterprise applications with a reduced level of defects in the released product. Movement of Agile processes into the embedded world is hindered by the lack of ...
Online estimation of VVoIP quality-of-experience via network emulation
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
We describe a testing framework that can provide online estimates of audio and video call quality on network paths, without requiring either end-user involvement or prior availability of audio/video sequences or network ...
Experimental evaluation of mobile phone sensors
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Smart phone has become an important part of people's daily life. Most of current smart phone are equipped with a rich set of built-in sensors. The mobile applications such as geo-location based video annotation and indoor ...
Factors affecting the concentration of domoic acid in scallop, pecten maximus
(2006)
Domoic acid, a neurotoxin produced by some Pseudo-nitzschia species, can accumulate
in shellfish, consumption of which can result in Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning. Since its
detection in Irish king scallop, Pecten maximus, ...
The interaction between A20 and the NR4A subfamily of nuclear receptors in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that affects nearly 1 %
of the world’s population. RA is characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints leading to
joint damage which can ...
A simplified approach to perceptual quality adaptation of multi-dimensional scalable video
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
Content Aware Networking (CAN) can enhance the distribution of media through awareness in the network of the content it is carrying. In this way functions such as content adaptation, content routing and resource allocation ...
Near-field radiation patterns for an Ultra-Wide-Band antenna
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
We present a three-dimensional time dependent model for simulating the electromagnetic radiation field patterns generated by Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) antennas. UWB antennas are pulsed mode radiators used to communicate ...
Control of open-loop unstable processes with time delay using PI/PID controllers specified using tuning rules: An outline survey
(Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2013), 24th IET Irish, 2013-06)
The ability of PI and PID controllers to compensate many practical processes has led to their wide acceptance in industrial applications. The requirement to choose two or three controller parameters is conveniently done ...
‘An investigation into the use of rubric-based self-assessment and written feedback as an effective teaching tool for the enhancement of student learning in the practical element of a food science degree module’.
(2016-06-24)
This action research took place over ten weeks of laboratory practical work within a Food
Microbiology module at Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT). The customary method
of assessing laboratory practical work is ...
