An Evaluation of Lower Facial Micro Expressions as an Implicit QoE Metric for an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application.
(2020)Augmented reality (AR) has been identified as a key technology to enhance worker utility in the context of increasing automation of repeatable procedures. AR can achieve this by assisting the user in performing complex and ... -
A QoE Evaluation of an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application
(2020-05)Augmented reality (AR) is a key technology to enhance worker effectiveness during increasing automation of repetitive jobs in the workplace. AR will achieve this by assisting the user to successfully perform complex and ... -
Understanding the determinants of successful longevity. [Poster]
(Athlone Institute of TechnologyAthlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Centenarians have long been regarded as paradigms for successful ageing due to their extreme survivorship. Centenarians are the fastest growing age demographic globally and current trajectories are indicative of this trend ... -
Inspired employees encourage eWOM. [Poster]
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Electronic Word of Mouth(eWOM) messages, can be defined as: “Any positive or negative statements made by potential, actual, or former customers about a product or company, which is made available to a multitude of people and ... -
A quality of experience evaluation of an immersive virtual reality application developed to assess spatial auditory ability. [Poster].
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has proven to be a powerful tool to create immersive environments with high quality visual and auditory experiences. Moreover, it can be used as an effective application ... -
An Evaluation of the Effects of Flipped Classroom Pre-Laboratory Activities on Students's Engagement with Laboratory Learning
(2020)A key goal of Institutes of Technology (IoTs) is to produce workplace-ready graduates who have the technical and practical skills to solve real world problems. Consequentially, the practical element of a module is a powerful ... -
Adding value to under-utilised fish roe in Ireland: a comparison of physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of salted air-dried roe from Irish pollock (Pollachius pollachius) with commercial mullet and cod roe products (Mugil cephalus and Gadus morhua).
(2019)In Ireland, fish roe is generally either discarded at sea or processed as low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing a fish roe product to add value to this currently underutilised ... -
Tunable memristor emulator using off-the-shelf components.
(Elsevier, 2020)Emerging memristor technology is as of late drawing broad consideration due to its potential for several applications. But, the non-availability of solid-state memristive devices puts a practical limitation. So, this paper ... -
Shallow and deep learning approaches for network intrusion alert prediction.
(Elsevier, 2020)The ever-increasing frequency and intensity of intrusion attacks on computer networks worldwide has necessitated intense research efforts towards the design of attack detection and prediction mechanisms. While there are a ... -
Low-complexity high-performance deep learning model for real time low cost embedded fire detection system.
(Elsevier, 2020)Correct and timely detection of fires has been an active area of research. Both shallow learning (with manual feature engineering), as well as deep learning (with its promise of automatically extracting meaningful ... -
Quantification of select minerals in animal serum and vitreous humour by inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry - ICP-OES
(Athlone Institute of Technology/Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, 2020-05)Mineral intake and balances are essential in maintaining good animal health and wellbeing. Mineral deficiencies and toxicities can have a detrimental impact on animal health. Important to diagnose these occurrences ... -
A novel approach to analytical mineral analysis in the diagnosis of animal health. [Poster].
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)Minerals are nutrients that are essential for maintaining biological life. In animals they perform structural, physiological, catalytic and regulatory function. However when mineral deficiencies or toxicities occur ... -
Graft orientation influences meshing ratio
(Elsevier, 2018-05)Objectives: The technique of meshed skin grafting is known since 1960s. It was shown that there is a difference between the declared and real expansion ratio of the skin meshed graft. We hypothesize that the orientation ... -
Countermovement jump characteristics of world-class elite and sub-elite male sprinters.
(SPSR, 2020-06-23)World-class 100m sprinters need a combination of exceptional acceleration, maximum-velocity and speed endurance; each of which are dictated by their own complex interplay of physiological and biomechanical factors [1]. ... -
Investigation of the potential variation of toxins in bog-land water system. [Poster]
(AIT, 2017)Irish bogs have suffered much damage from human activities such as peat extraction or agricultural works. Peat extraction is normally carried out with the use of drainage ditches to cause drying for ease of extraction. ... -
The investigation of land management practices on the soil ecosystem [Poster]
(AIT, 2019)Ireland has a cool-temperate climate and frequent rainfall which provides a suitable environment for rich, arable soil. Agriculture has always been a crucial part of Irish society, sustaining the country’s food stocks and ... -
Trace model for cyclic behavior in wireless LANS.
(Pakistan Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-09): For the estimation of cycle time in WLANs different parameters were used to analyze the cyclic behavior like packet loss cycle, successful packet cycle and collision cycle. This paper proposes a model to control all ... -
