The requirement to measure the real time, dynamic temperature of exhaust system gases
is becoming more and more important in the areas of aeronautics, automotive (cars,
trucks, etc), marine and industrial/environmental ...
Sampling of the macrofungal sporocarps, ectomycorrhizal morphotypes and
vascular plants was carried out in 28 plots from four forest types (ash, oak, Scot’s
pine, Sitka spruce) between the years 2007 and 2009. A total ...
This thesis explores a practical approach to the design and development of interactive technologies in public spaces derived from the concept of “Assembly”.
Current research is lacking frameworks that can not only evaluate, ...
This thesis is concerned with the problem of high frequency elastic wave inversion. This is the problem of determining sharp, localised changes in the properties of materials beneath the surface of the earth using only ...
Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6OH2, HA] is the major constituent of the mineral phase of bone and exhibits desirable properties as a bone graft, such as biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoconductivity and direct bonding to ...
Recent advances in micro fabrication technology have resulted in proliferation of
microscale mechanical devices, most of which are applied in the biomedical field and
clinical diagnostics. One of the most promising ...
The problem to be studied in this thesis is how to verify a set of mathematical design documents in the sense that if each component is implemented correctly, the whole system should work together harmoniously to satisfy ...
This thesis describes an optical fibre sensor to detect and accurately measure
ammonia gas in the agricultural sector. Increases in ammonia emission especially
from the farming industry have created the need for a sensor ...
In 2010, figures show that only 45 per cent of Irish students took Higher Level
mathematics for the Junior Certificate examination and only 16 per cent took Higher
Level mathematics for the Leaving Certificate examination ...
THERE ARE VARIOUS scenarios for a software development organisation to adopt Open Source Software (OSS). One scenario is the adoption of OSS products in order to integrate them as components into a final
software product. ...
