CFD-CRN Study of NOx formation in a high-pressure combustor fired with lean premixed CH4 / H2 - air mixtures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2021-01)The main motivation of this study is to investigate detailed NOx and CO formation in high-pressure dump combustor fired with lean premixed methane-air mixture using CFD-CRN hybrid approach. Further, this study is extended ... -
The Application of Computational Chemistry and Chemometrics to Developing a Method for Online Monitoring of Polymer Degradation in the Manufacture of Bioresorbable Medical Implants /
(Springer-Verlag, 2014)Bioresorbable polymers such as PLA have an important role to play in the development of temporary implantable medical devices with significant benefits over traditional therapies. However, development of new devices is ... -
Digital twin: origin to future
(MDPI, 2021-05-24)Digital Twin (DT) refers to the virtual copy or model of any physical entity (physical twin) both of which are interconnected via exchange of data in real time. Conceptually, a DT mimics the state of its physical twin ... -
Influence of extrusion screw speed on the properties of halloysite nanotube impregnated polylactic acid nanocomposites
(De Gruyter, 2021)Poly (lactic acid)/halloysite nanotube (PLA/HNT) nanocomposites have been studiedextensively over the past fewyears owing to the interesting properties of the polymer, PLA, and the nanoclay, HNT, individually and as ... -
Impacts of large and small barriers on fish assemblage composition assessed using environmental DNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-05-24)River fragmentation caused by instream barriers is a leading cause of biodiversity loss, particularly for freshwater migratory fish, the vertebrate group that has suffered the steepest decline. However, most studies have ... -
A Critique of Food Education in Irish Primary Schools: Exploring the Potential to Introduce Key Elements of International Models to the Irish Context
(2020-08-28)This study aims to explore the possibility of Irish primary schools introducing key elements of international food education models to the primary school curriculum in a bid to developing positive healthy eating behaviours ... -
Misdiagnosis of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review of the Influence of Sampling and Clinical Detection Methods
(MDPI Journals, 2021-05-25)SARS-CoV-2 infection has generated the biggest pandemic since the influenza outbreak of 1918–1919. One clear difference between these pandemics has been the ability to test for the presence of the virus or for evidence of ... -
Pulsating flow investigation for spiked blunt-nose body in hypersonic flow and its control
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-01)An aerospike, as a technique for drag reduction and heat transfer in high-speed flows, is associated with instabilities. To understand the pulsating flow behavior in front of forward facing spiked blunt nose, numerical ... -
Microplastics in the marine environment: Sources, Impacts & Recommendations
(Resear@THEA GMIT, 2021-05-27)Plastic pollution in the marine environment has been consistently reported since the late 1960s, however, recent evidence of global widespread microplastic pollution has led to an exponential increase in both research and ... -
Flow-field and performance study of coaxial supersonic nozzles operating in hypersonic environment
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2020)The integration of multiple propulsion systems in a coaxial configuration is one of the challenges to realize hypersonic passenger transportation. This study is an attempt to understand the performance of two co-axial jets ... -
On unsteady flow analysis of a round spike blunt nose afterbody in mach 6 flow
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)An aerospike, in front of a blunt body, has largely been deemed as a key passive control device for effectively reducing the wave drag and aerodynamic heating associated with high-speed flows. In addition, it has been ... -
The preferences of people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for self-management support: A qualitative descriptive study
(Wiley, 12/05/2021)Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to explore and describe the self-management support (SMS) preferences of adults with asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Background: Self-management ... -
The influence of sitting, standing and stepping bouts on cardiometabolic health markers in older adults
(Human Kinetics, 2021-05-13)Aside from total time spent in physical activity behaviors, how time is accumulated is important for health. This study examined associations between sitting, standing, and stepping bouts, with cardiometabolic health markers ... -
Drag control by hydrogen injection in shocked stagnation zone of blunt nose
(IOP Publishing, 2021)The main motivation of the current study is to propose a high-pressure hydrogen injection as an hybrid active flow control technique in order to manipulate the flow-field in front of a blunt nose during hypersonic flight. ... -
Facilitating TBL - tools to succeed: pre class preparation
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-04)Traditionally, the pre-class preparation phase of TBL involved students covering readings prior to a session (Michaelsen, 2002). Pre-class readings may have included chapters/excerpts from textbooks and articles or ... -
Technology for TBL tools
(Athlone Institute of Technology., 2020)Screencast-O-Matic is an easy to use video creation program that allow users to record video from a web cam, capture their computer screen, and record their voice. Screencast-O-Matic record video can be uploaded directly ... -
Technology for team-based learning: peer evaluation
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020)In TBL the self-management of the team is a guiding principle and this is very much centred around peer review (Sibley, 2018). We must aim to give the students the tools to be able to do this. There are a number of resources ... -
