  • A comparison of non-PH and PH gamma frailty models
    Blagojevic, Milica; MacKenzie, Gilbert; Do Ha, II (IWSM, 2003)
    The non-PH Canonical Time Dependent Logistic survival regression model described by MacKenzie (1996, 2002), is extended by incorporating a multiplicative Gamma frailty component into the hazard function. The resulting model ...
  • A comparison of program transformation systems
    Dever, Michael; Hamilton, Geoff W. (META 2012, 2012)
    Program transformation is a popular technique for attempting to improve the e ciency of a program. At a high level, program transformation is the process of taking an input program and transforming it into an improved ...
  • Comparison of scenario-based software architecture evaluation methods
    Ali Babar, Muhammad; Gorton, Ian (IEEE Computer Society, 2004)
    Software engineering community has proposed several methods to evaluate software architectures with respect to desired quality attributes such as maintainability, performance, and so on. There is, however, little effort ...
  • Comparison of swing patterns for high and low handicap golfers
    Byrne, Derek; Kenny, Ian (ISBS, 2008)
    INTRODUCTION: The widespread growth of golf is mainly due to its accessibility to people of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds and skill levels (Hume et al., 2005). To correspond with this increased participation, research ...
  • The competition state – lessons from Ireland
    Kirby, Peadar (University of Limerick, Department of Politics and Public Administration, 2009)
    International attention has been focused on the mechanisms through which Ireland created the conditions for its economic boom in the late 1990s, the Celtic Tiger. Foremost among these was the role of the state on which ...
  • A compilation of history & theory dissertations by third year students from SAUL I
    Keane, Sarah; Panter, Naomi; Walsh, Gerard; Buron, Javier; Frohburg, Jan; Scalbert, Irenee (Limerick: The SAUL Press, University of Limerick, 2009)
  • A compilation of history & theory dissertations by third year students from SAUL II
    Keane, Sarah; Panter, Naomi; Walsh, Gerard; Buron, Javier; Frohburg, Jan; Scalbert, Irenee (Limerick: The SAUL Press, University of Limerick, 2009)
  • Compiler support for lightweight context switching
    Dolan, Stephen; Muralidharan, Servesh; Gregg, David (Association for Computing Machinery, 2013)
    We propose a new language-neutral primitive for the LLVM compiler, which provides efficient context switching and message passing between lightweight threads of control. The primitive, called SWAPSTACK, can be used by any ...
  • Complete synthesis of germanium nanocrystal encrusted carbon colloids in supercritical CO2 and their superhydrophobic properties
    Barrett, Christopher A.; Singh, Ajay; Murphy, Joseph A.; O'Sullivan, Catriona; Buckley, D.N.; Ryan, Kevin M. (American Chemical Society, 2011)
    Colloidal carbon spheres were synthesized by the carbonization of squalane, a nonvolatile hydrocarbon solvent, in supercritical carbon dioxide. Precise pressure modulation of the fluid medium led to size controlled growth ...
  • A complexity reliability model.
    Schneidewind, Norman; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    A model of software complexity and reliability is developed. It uses an evolutionary process to transition from one software system to the next, while complexity metrics are used to predict the reliability for each system. ...
  • Component-oriented behavior extraction for autonomic system design
    Bakera, Marco; Wagner, Christian; Margaria, Tiziana; Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike; Steffen, Bernhard (NASA, 2009)
    Rich and multifaceted domain specific specification languages like the Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL) help to design reliable systems with self-healing capabilities. The GEAR game-based Model Checker has ...
  • Comprehensive distributed garbage collection by tracking causal dependencies of relevant mutator events
    Louboutin, Sylvain R.Y.; Cahill, Vinny (IEEE Computer Society, 1997)
    Comprehensive distributed garbage collection in object-oriented distributed systems has mostly been addressed via distributed versions of graph-tracing algorithms, a legacy of centralised garbage collection techniques. Two ...
  • Comprehensive finite-difference time-dependent beam propagation model of counterpropagating picosecond pulses in a semiconductor optical amplifier
    Razaghi, Mohammad; Ahmadi, Vahid; Connelly, Michael J. (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    In this paper, we present a numerical model to study counter pulse propagation in semiconductor optical amplifiers. An improved finite-difference beam propagation method for solving the modified nonlinear Schrödinger ...
  • Conceptualising "The information society"
    Bannon, Liam (Economic and Social Research Institute, 1997)
    The concept of "the information society" as an important new phenomenon has recently received much attention at a European and national level. Exhortations on the need for advance preparation for this society by all the ...
  • The conceptual spectrum of European identity: from missing link to unnecessary evil
    Walkenhorst, Heiko (University of Limerick, Department of Politics and Public Administration, 2009)
    European identity is a politically relevant concept. The study of European identity, however, suffers from its conceptual overstretch. Aiming to facilitate the use and operationalisation of European identity this article ...
  • Concurrent models of flash memory device behaviour
    Butterfield, Andrew; Ó Catháin, Art (Springer, 2009)
    We present a CSP model of the internal behaviour of Flash Memory, based on its speci cation by the Open Nand-Flash Interface (ONFi) consortium. This contributes directly to the low-level modelling of the data-storage ...
  • Conducting field studies in software engineering: an experience report
    Yates, Rebecca (Psychology of Programme Interest Group (PPIG), 2012)
    Involving practitioners in software engineering research is crucial for relevant, applicable results, but finding willing participants can be difficult. This experience report describes some of the issues that can block ...
  • Conductive films of ordered nanowire arrays
    Ziegler, Kirk J.; Polyakov, Boris; Kulkarni, Jaideep S.; Crowley, Timothy A.; Ryan, Kevin M.; Morris, Michael A.; Erts, Donats; Holmes, Justin D. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2004)
    High-density, ordered arrays of germanium nanowires have been synthesised within the pores of mesoporous thin films (MTFs) and anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) matrices using a supercritical fluid solution-phase inclusion ...
  • Configuration management process improvement for the medical device industry
    Mc Caffery, Fergal; Coleman, Gerry (2006)
    This paper outlines how the goals, practices and capability levels for the configuration management (CM) process area within a software process improvement (SPI) framework have been developed. This framework addresses an ...
  • Configuration of multi product lines by bridging heterogeneous variability modeling approaches
    Dhungana, Deepak; Seichter, Dominik; Botterweck, Goetz; Rabiser, Rick; Grunbacher, Paul; Galindo, Jose A. (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    In industrial settings, products are rarely built by one organization alone. Software vendors and suppliers typically maintain their own product lines, which can contribute to a larger (multi) product line. The teams ...
