  • Raman spectroscopy of fingernails: a novel tool for evaluation of bone quality?
    Cummins, Niamh M; Day, J.C.C.; Wren, A; Carroll, P; Murphy, N; Jakeman, Phil; Towler, Mark R (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
    Raman data from human fingernails has been analysed to determine if a relationship exists between spectral features and bone quality. Previous work demonstrated a relationship between the manually determined intensity of ...
  • Requirements documentation: a systematic approach
    Parnas, David Lorge (2003)
    Unless you have a complete and precise description of a product's requirements, it is very unlikely that those requirements will be satisfied. An incomplete or inconsistent requirements document can mislead developers. A ...
  • Research issues in multiple policy optimization using collaborative reinforcement learning
    Dusparic, Ivana; Cahill, Vinny (IEEE Computer Society, 2007)
    Self-organizing techniques have successfully been used to optimize software systems, such as optimization of route stability in ad hoc network routing and optimization of the use of storage space or processing power using ...
  • A review of the effect of prior inelastic deformation on high temperature mechanical response of engineering alloys
    LI, D.F.; O'Dowd, Noel P.; Davies, C.M; Nikbin, K.M (Elsevier, 2010)
    In this review article, we examine the influence of prior deformation (prestrain) on the subsequent high temperature mechanical behaviour of engineering alloys. We review the observed effects at a macroscopic level in ...
  • Robust frailty modelling using non-proportional hazards models
    Do Ha, II; MacKenzie, Gilbert (SAGE Publications, 2010)
    Correlated survival times can be modelled by introducing a random effect, or frailty component, into the hazard function. For multivariate survival data we extend a non-PH model, the generalized time-dependent logistic ...
  • The role of defects and growth directions in the formation of periodically twinned and kinked unseeded germanium nanowires
    Geaney, Hugh; Dickinson, Calum; Weng, Weihao; Kiely, Christopher J.; Barrett, Christopher A.; Gunning, Robert D.; Ryan, Kevin M. (American Chemical Society, 2011)
    Here we show the impact of preferred growth directions and defects in the formation of complex Ge nanowire (NW) structures grown by a simple organic medium based synthesis. Various types of NWs 15 are examined including: ...
  • The role of inspection in software quality assurance
    Parnas, David Lorge; Lawford, Mark (IEEE Computer Society, 2003)
  • Rupture behaviour of abdominal aortic aneurysms: an experimental and computational investigation
    Doyle, Barry J. (2009)
    Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAAs) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the infrarenal section of the aorta. These aneurysms are typically defined as having a diameter 50% greater than the normal aortic diameter. If ...
  • Sampling-based inference for the generalized time-dependent logistic hazard model
    Louzada-Neto, Francisco; Cremasco, Caroline Pires; MacKenzie, Gilbert (Gowas Publishers, 2010)
    Lifetimes which satisfy a non-proportional hazard model may arise in several areas, such as, Medicine, Biometrics, Criminology and Industrial Reliability. For these data it is reasonable to presume that the hazard function ...
  • Saoithin : a theorem prover for UTP
    Butterfield, Andrew (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    Saoithin is a theorem prover developed to support the Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) framework. Its primary design goal was to support the higher-order logic, alphabets, equational reasoning and "programs as ...
  • Segregated failures model for availability evaluation of fault-tolerant systems
    Vilkomir, Sergiy A.; Parnas, David Lorge; Mendiratta, Veena B.; Murphy, Eamonn (Australian Computer Society, Inc., 2006)
    This paper presents a method of estimating the availability of fault-tolerant computer systems with several recovery procedures. A segregated failures model has been proposed recently for this purpose. This paper provides ...
  • Self-assembly of vertically aligned nanorod supercrystals using HOPG
    Ahmed, Shafaat; Ryan, Kevin M. (American Chemical Society, 2007)
    Supercrystallisation of CdS nanorods (10 nm × 25 nm) into perpendicular superlattices was obtained by controlled evaporation of a nanorod solution trapped between a smooth substrate and a block of highly ordered pyrolytic ...
  • Sensor fusion-based middleware for assisted living1,2
    Coyle, Lorcan; Neely, Steve; Rey, Gaetan; Stevenson, Graeme; Sullivan, Mark; Dobson, Simon; Nixon, Paddy (Kaist Press, 2007)
    Systems for home automation can make a vital contribution to the wellbeing of individuals requiring moderate amounts of support for day-to-day living. Existing systems suffer both from competing and often closed standards ...
  • Service registry : a key piece for enhancing reuse in SOA
    Garcia-Gonzalez, Juan Pablo; Gacitua-Decar, Veronica; Pahl, Claus (TechWeb, Microsoft Technology Network, 2010)
    One of the promises of adopting a service-oriented approach in organizations is the potential cost savings that result from the reuse of existing services. A service registry is one of the fundamental pieces of service ...
  • Service science: introducing service networks performance analytics
    Carroll, Noel; Richardson, Ita; Whelan, Eoin (2011)
    Although services are delivered across dispersed complex service eco-systems, monitoring performance becomes a difficult task. This paper explores a number of areas to support the development of service performance analytics ...
  • A setup for gas mass flow rate measurement in T-shaped micro channel
    Li, Y; Barrot, C; Baldas, L; Colin, S; Newport, David (2011)
    A setup for mass flow rate measurement was developed for gas flow in T-shaped microchannels. Experiments with N2 were made on the test bench for the following purposes: 1) to test leakages and outgassing of the system, 2) ...
  • Silver tip formation on colloidal CdSe nanorods by a facile phase transfer protocol
    Bala, Tanushree; Sanyal, Ambarish; Singh, Ajay; Kelly, Dervla; O'Sullivan, Catriona; Laffir, Fathima R.; Ryan, Kevin M. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)
    A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II-VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand, dimethyl phenol (DMP), which binds to the semiconductor ...
  • Simultaneous parameter estimation and optimisation of a seeded anti-solvent crystallisation
    Ó'Ciardhá, Clifford; Hutton, Kieran W; Mitchell, Niall A; Frawley, Patrick (American Chemical Society, 2012)
